System For Different Values Research Articles

Conservatives' Moral Foundations Are More Densely Connected Than Liberals' Moral Foundations.

We use network psychometrics to map a subsection of moral belief systems predicted by moral foundations theory (MFT). This approach conceptualizes moral systems as networks, with moral beliefs represented as nodes connected by direct relations. As such, it advances a novel test of MFT’s claim that liberals and conservatives have different systems of foundational moral values, which we test in three large datasets (NSample1 = 854; NSample2 = 679; NSample3 = 2,572), from two countries (the United States and New Zealand). Results supported our first hypothesis that liberals’ moral systems show more segregation between individualizing and binding foundations than conservatives. Results showed only weak support for our second hypothesis, that this pattern would be more typical of higher educated than less educated liberals/conservatives. Findings support a systems approach to MFT and show the value of modeling moral belief systems as networks.

Mathematical modelling of concentration profiles for species transport through the single and the interconnected multiple-compartment systems

In this research work, we investigate the concentration profiles in the single and the interconnected multiple-compartment systems with sieve partitions for the transport of chemical species with second order chemical reaction kinetics. With assumption of unidirectional transport of chemical species and constant physical properties with same equilibrium contant, the developed partial differential equations representing the two systems are spatially discretized using the Method of Lines (MOL) technique and the resulting semi-discrete system of ODEs are solved using MATLAB ode15s solver. The results show that the interconnected multiple-compartment system has lower concentration profile than the single-compartment system for different values of diffusivities.

Dynamic analysis of the dual Lorenz system

The dual Lorenz system as an autonomous system of three differential equations is obtained by using the Lorenz system of differential equations in the paper [B. M. Piperevski, For one system of differential equations taken as dual of the Lorenz system, Bull. Math. 40(1) (2014) 37–44]. In this paper, we will do a comparison of the dual Lorenz system with the Lorenz system for different values of parameters. The dynamic analysis of its behavior will be done. The basic properties of the dual Lorenz system are analyzed by means of the symmetry of the system, dissipativity of the system, the Lyapunov function, the behavior of the system in the neighborhood of fixed points, etc. By using mathematical software Mathematica, we will give a graphical visualization of the dual Lorenz system for some values of parameters via examples.

Control System Analysis using Root Locus Method

Root Locus is an excellent method for finding the relative stability of the system. It is a powerful technique as it displays the entire dynamic response of the system and hence it is extensively used. In this paper root locus method is used for the analysis of transfer function of the control system. Based on the analysis here the effect of gain on addition of poles and zeros is checked for stability of the system, maximum gain value and behavior of the system for different values of K is shown. Keywords: Dynamic response, pole, zero, gain

IModel

Deriving analytic performance models requires detailed knowledge of the architecture and behavior of the computer system being modeled as well as modeling skills. This detailed knowledge may not be readily available (or it may be impractical to gather) given the dynamic nature of production computing environments. This article presents a framework, called iModel , for automatically deriving and parameterizing analytic performance models for multi-tiered computer systems. Analytic performance models consist of a workload model and a system model. iModel uses system logs and configuration files to generate a high-level characterization of the system; e.g., open queuing network (QN) model versus closed QN model. By harvesting more information from the system logs and configuration files, iModel generates a workload model by inferring user-system interaction patterns in the form of a Customer Behavior Model Graph (CBMG) and generates a system model by discovering system components and their interaction patterns in the form of a Client-Server Interaction Diagram (CSID). iModel includes a library of well-known single-queue and QN models and their solutions stored in an XML-based repository. The generated workload model and system model are compared to the model repository to determine which model in the repository best matches the system’s observable behavior and architecture. This article also presents a black-box optimization approach that is used to derive analytic model parameters by observing the input-output relationships of a real system. This optimization approach can be used in any computer system (multi-tier or not) that can be modeled by single queues or QNs. The important question is whether the automatically generated and parameterized performance model has predictive power, i.e., can the derived model predict the output values that would be observed in the real system for different values of the input? The results presented in this article demonstrate that the analytic performance models derived by iModel are relatively robust and have predictive power over a wide range of input values.

Plane electromagnetic wave propagation of pulsed periodic field in conductive half-space

Nowadays, application of pulsed periodic fields in various technological devices is of interest, in particular for the influencing on a conductive media. In this paper solution of the problem of the propagation of a plane electromagnetic wave of pulsed periodic field created by a planar inductor, in the conductive half-space is presented. The solution is obtained in the form of Fourier series as a function of a complex argument. The differential and integral characteristics of the “inductor-conductive half-space” system for different values of the inductor time constant are determined. A comparative analysis of the obtained results with the electromagnetic characteristics of plane sinusoidal electromagnetic wave propagation process in conductive half-space is made.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ВІДТВОРЕННЯ ІРОНІЧНИХ ВИСЛОВЛЮВАНЬ СУЧАСНОГО АНГЛОМОВНОГО КІНОДИСКУРСУ УКРАЇНСЬКОЮ МОВОЮ

The article is devoted to topical problems of translation of modern English-language film discourse (based on the TV series "The Big Bang Theory"). Stylistic features of English-language film discourse are characterized. It is noted that the language of English-language film discourse has certain features and directions for certain categories of speakers and recipients. In the course of the analysis of English-language film discourse, a direct relationship between the degree of complexity of the selected language tools and socio-cultural specific features of the target audience is proved. The irony is a move to challenge norms, rules, common sense. It easily turns into a paradox and a joke. Comparisons of two or more textual worlds, styles, paradoxical comparisons, quotations, parodies lead to endless possibilities for variations in the understanding of ironic means. Socio-cultural linguistic elements that complicate film translation include realities (non-equivalent vocabulary), proper names, idiomatic expressions and jargon, dialect and variant features, humor. Non-linguistic features of the socio-cultural character contained in the visual and sound plans of a motion picture can also affect translation. At the same time, empirical studies of the application and methods of film translation testify to the existence of specific operational rules, that is, the patterns of behavior of the translator in some sociocultural situation – the situation of translation for film screening. Thus, the conducted study shows that "film discourse" is a "broader concept than cinema text” and “film dialogue”, which includes various correlations with other fields of science, such as literature, theater, art, etc. In addition, it is in the cinema discourse that the final interpretation of sen sous, embedded in the movie. In this case, cinema text is a fragment of cinema discourse and includes two heterogeneous semiotic systems: linguistic and non-linguistic, the film dialogue appears as the linguistic component of the film. Therefore, the audiovisual images operated by cinema become an indispensable element of the new discourse of modernity, which is the source of social, cultural, psychological as well as linguistic knowledge. This is why book adaptations are so popular because they save time and effort. However, as a result of a comparative lexical stylistic analysis of the book and its TV version, it was found that the number of lexical means and stylistic figures in the literary work is much greater and striking in its diversity, especially when it comes to descriptions. In the film, the language becomes poorer because dialogic speech is a predominantly spoken-and-everyday style characterized by general vocabulary and changes in the syntactic structure of sentences. The sentences in the movie are usually simple, not complex, full of exclamations and pauses and easy to hear. Film discourse should be understood as the process of play and perception of a film, the meaning of which is the mutual influence of several semiotic systems. Cinema discourse involves participants in the discourse, time and space of their interaction. The main difficulty in translatable movie text is the possibility and degree of adaptation of the text to a foreign language culture, built on a different system of values and concepts, and this factor causes the inevitable loss in the perception of translatable cinema with other subjects and / or incompatible with other linguistic culture failures of a large number of films.

Проявление резистентности в конституционном праве: на примере решений Конституционного Суда Российской Федерации и Европейского суда по правам человека

Introduction. The article is devoted to the analysis of conflicts between the interpretation of decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the European Court of Human Rights in the context of a particular problem and how the resistance of national legislation to acts of an international character is manifested. Theoretical analysis. The article deals with decisions concerning the promotion of information about homosexual preferences to minors, which, in the opinion of the Constitutional Court, may harm their development. The European Court considers that this restriction is a kind of violation of the rights and freedoms of sexual minorities. Also, a resolution was adopted, according to which the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation are priority in relation to acts of an international character. In this regard, the Constitutional Court in its response decision declared it impossible to implement the decision of the European Court of Human Rights to award compensation by the Russian Federation to the YUKOS company. Conclutions. The following conclusions are presented. Despite the opinion of the European Court of Human Rights, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, in its decisions, seeks to achieve a compromise between the interests of the majority groups of the country’s population and private individual preferences, as well as a dialogue with the international court of justice on the principle of equal partnership. These components are the basis for the stability of our legislation and our values, since, on the one hand, it does not allow harmful acts of a normative nature to penetrate and take hold, and, on the other hand, it preserves the democratic essence of Russian law. To implement the above in real life, we recommend the following: 1) adhere to and seek a balance between different systems of values, 2) justify at the level of theory and introduce into legal practice the doctrine of the constitutional identity of the country, based on the interpretation of the basic values of the Russian Federation.

Западно-восточные поэтические сочинения первой трети XIX в.: от «Дивана» Гёте до «сонета-газели» Мицкевича — Топчи-Баши

The article is concerned with reciprocity between Western and Eastern literatures of the 19th century, when Orientalist motives began to take hold in European writings. Goethe, in his “West-Östlicher Divan” (1819), attributed this interest to the everlasting excellence and value, which the Eastern masterpieces hold for the West. However, as it is clear nowadays, the ‘West-Eastern’ compositions cannot be seen as truthfully retaining the spirit of the Eastern classics, which was based on a different system of meanings and values. On the other hand, it became clear that the Eastern reception of these European works in the 19th century could not be true to the Western original, either, since even most progressive Eastern literatures of the time kept to artistic principles and system of genres of the Late Middle Ages. Against this historical and critical background, the article investigates the outcome of one venture — the emergence of a Persian translation of Adam Mickiewicz’s poem, commissioned by himself for his “Sonnets” (1826). Dzafar Topczi-Baszy adjusted the sonnet for an Eastern audience. Having presented his translation as a sample of the medieval genre of tadhkira (which has to contain both biographical and anthological features), Topczi- Baszy supplied the Persian version of the poem with facts about Mickiewicz; he cast the poem into a Persian poetic form — ghazal; he replaced the elements of Romantic imagery with the Eastern ones.

A techno-economic analysis of geothermal ejector cooling system

Ground-coupled ejector cooling (GCEC) systems have been introduced to solve the air-coupled ejector cooling (ACEC) systems problems. To date, no research study is dedicated to compare the GCEC and the ACEC systems and determine the relative payback period of the GCEC system vs. the ACEC system. Furthermore, almost all the previous studies simulated the GCEC systems by elementary models. Therefore, a comprehensive simulation is conducted to assess the techno-economic performance of a GCEC system. The model consists of the ejector and the borehole heat exchanger submodels. The first section of the results compares the ACEC system and the GCEC system during a cooling season. The seasonal coefficient of performance of the GCEC system is 83% higher than that of the ACEC system. The maximum building load per borehole heat exchanger unit length is 12.4, 17.5, and 21.6 W/m when the soil thermal conductivity is 1.40, 2.45, 3.50 W/(m.K), respectively. The second section of the results compares the relative payback period of the GCEC systems vs. the ACEC system for different values of soil thermal conductivities, borehole cost, and natural gas price. The relative payback period of the GCEC system vs. the ACEC system can be as low as five years.

Valores em conflito: contribuições do pluralismo de Isaiah Berlin ao estudo das relações entre “religioso” e “secular” no debate público contemporâneo

O debate público contemporâneo é permeado por variados desafios à vida social, especialmente em virtude da pluralidade de grupos e convicções que se articulam nas instâncias de decisão. Nas sociedades ocidentais, devido ao processo de secularização, não há mais sistemas de valores exclusivos que sejam capazes de conferir sentido total à experiência humana comunitária. Desse modo, as tensões que dizem respeito à relação entre os domínios “religioso” e “secular” têm ganhado novos contornos na discussão pública e ensejado estudos acadêmicos. A partir do contexto de diversidade de crenças e valores, esta dissertação introduz no campo das Ciências da Religião o pensamento do filósofo e historiador das ideias russo-judeu Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997), que desenvolveu uma doutrina do pluralismo de valor. Para Berlin, notável defensor do liberalismo e um dos principais intelectuais do século XX, o pluralismo é um princípio de importância crucial para a sociedade contemporânea, à medida que postula a coexistência de diferentes sistemas de valores morais e concepções do bem, sem tentar escapar do inevitável conflito entre tais valores e concepções. A formulação de Berlin, situada na interseção da filosofia política com a história das ideias, indica que valores morais podem ser igualmente válidos e, ainda assim, incompatíveis e incomensuráveis, o que resulta em conflitos que não admitem resolução sem referência a contextos particulares de decisão. Assim, a partir de uma abordagem teórica de natureza conceitual e analítica, busca-se interpretar a noção pluralista de Isaiah Berlin na tentativa de encontrar possíveis contribuições do corpo teórico desenvolvido pelo autor ao estudo das relações entre “religioso” e “secular” no debate público contemporâneo. Desse modo, o pluralismo de valor desponta como sistema teórico válido para enriquecer as abordagens acadêmicas concernentes aos conflitos de valores no seio das sociedades plurais.

Global Behavior of a Discrete Anticompetitive System in the Plane

The main goal of this paper is to investigate the global asymptotic behavior of the difference systemxn+1=γ1yn/A1+xn, yn+1=β2xn/B2+yn, n=0,1,2,….withγ1,β2,A1,B2∈(0,∞)and the initial condition(x0,y0)∈[0,∞)×[0,∞). We obtain some global attractivity results of this system for different values of the parameters, which answer the open problem proposed in “Rational systems in the plane, J. Difference Equ. Appl. 15 (2009), 303-323”.

(P)reheating after minimal plateau inflation and constraints from CMB

In this paper we have investigated the preheating phase for a class of plateau inflationary model considering the four-legs interaction term (1/2)g2ϕ2χ2 between the inflaton (ϕ) and reheating field (χ). We specifically focus on the effects of our model parameter ϕ* which controls inflationary dynamics. For ϕ* < Mp, the departure of the inflaton potential from the usual power-law behavior ϕn significantly modifies the microscopic behavior of the preheating dynamics. We analyze and compare the efficiency of production, thermalization behavior and the final equation of states of the system for different values of n = 2,4,6 considering two different values of ϕ*. Most importantly as we increase n, or decrease ϕ*, the preheating occurs very efficiently with the final equation of state to be that of the radiation, w = 1/3. However, for n = 2, the final equation of state turned out to be w ≃ 0.2. In the non-perturbative framework complete decay of inflaton could not be achieved with the four-legs interaction for any model under consideration. Therefore, in order to complete the reheating process, we perform the perturbative analysis for the second stage of the reheating phase. With the appropriate initial condition set by the non-perturbative dynamics, we solved a set of homogeneous Boltzmann equations for both the fields supplemented by the constraints coming from the subsequent entropy conservation. In so doing, we calculated the reheating temperature which was otherwise ill-defined right after the end of preheating. The temperature can be uniquely fixed for a given inflaton decay constant and the CMB temperature. We also compare our results with the conventional reheating constraint analysis and discuss the limits on the inflaton decay constant from the field theory perspective.

ATTITUDES OF THE PARENTS WITH DIFFERENT STATUS (PARENT/GUARDIAN) REGARDING THE COMPETENCES OF THE ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY TO INDEPENDENT LIVING

Family is the most important educator and teacher to the child, and it represents an environment where all of the most important interpersonal experiences of the child take place. The overall development of the child’s personality, child’s behavior, child’s adoption of the different systems of values and personal attitudes, depend largely on the parents. However, the community, as well, should be equally prepared to be able to provide all the necessary conditions for uninterrupted development, education, employment and other needs a child might have. One of the latest trends in the protection of the people with moderate and severe intellectual disability is the process of independent living with the support of the community. The term “independent living” is often used when it comes to people with intellectual disability. This term- independent living- implies that people can make choices and make decisions regarding where and who they are going to live with, and how they are going to organize their everyday life. The goal of this program is independent life for the people with intellectual disability while having full support for independent living in accordance to their needs, wishes and possibilities. This program is a preparation for the independent living through active participation in actual living situations. The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of the parents with different status (parent/guardian) regarding the competences of the adults with intellectual disability to having an independent life, which eventually will contribute to their better integration into the community. The quantitative data acquired from this research were analyzed by using arithmetic mean. The data variability was measured with the use of the variability-standard deviation. The differences among the groups were determined by using the t-test of statistical significance and ANOVA, and the connection of the variables was determined by using the Pierce coefficient of correlation. As an aiding mean the qualitative technique-interview, was used, in order to get more valid and more reliable results with the help of the multimethod triangulation. According to the needs of the research 168 parents of adults with moderate and severe intellectual disability, whose children were accepted in the Daily Centers in the Republic of North Macedonia, were interviewed. The results acquired led up to different associations, raised a lot of new questions, and often suggested a lot of solutions. The subjects of this research offered a lot of suggestions, most of which were well formulated, convincingly explained and justified.

Driving Forces behind Language Change. Does Danish Theory Hold up in Lithuania?

The paper presents a large-scale investigation of attitudes towards standard and dialectal speech varieties in Lithuania. It aimed at, firstly, obtaining comparable data on assessments of speech variation under two methodologically different conditions: ‘unaware condition’ (the participants being unaware of the linguistic goals of the research) and ‘aware condition’. Secondly, it aimed at testing whether the two layers of consciousness yield two different systems of social values and how the evaluations accord with changes in language usage. The theory was developed by Danish scholars whose numerous experimental studies proved the driving force role of subconscious attitudes. The investigation closely followed the Danish methodology and was carried out in 23 secondary schools in 7 regions and the capital city of Lithuania, covering almost 1.5 thousand pupils in total. The regularity of the findings, i.e. the overall tendency to overtly valorise local dialects but subconsciously to downgrade dialect accented voices, confirmed that language awareness affects assignment of values to language and must be regarded as an important explanatory factor for the scenarios of language change.

Niedzwiedzia Przysluga?Bear’s Favor? Hidden Garden behind the Concrete Proverbs: Cognitive-Semantic Analysis of Proverbs in Persian, Polish and Spanish

Proverbs help us understand how the society works at large and what are the main concerns regarding the environment, people-to-people exchange and notions of liberty, freedom and values. In some cultures such as the Iranian one, the way one uses proverbs depends on the generation one finds herself in. Generation-gap provides opportunity to transfer some abstract and complicated concepts, not available in modern life, through the use of proverbs. From childhood, by hearing proverbs from parents and grand-parents, children begin grasping some important national and even religious concepts. In order to represent a rather international, holistic view and not language-specific, we analyzed further Polish, French and Spanish proverbs, whenever deemed necessary. The present paper through cognitive-semantic and content analysis aims to reveal the implied systems of value, ethics and morality realized through proverbs. The results clearly indicate that proverbs cover different systems of values through elements such as artifacts, animals, human body parts and even imaginary, nature-derived elements.

Diffused Religion and Civil Society in Italy

“Diffused religion” is to be understood in at least a double sense. First of all, it is diffused in that it comprises vast sections of the population and goes beyond the simple limits of church religion. Besides, it has become widespread, since it has been shown to be a historical and cultural result of the almost bi-millennial presence of the Catholic institution in Italy and of its socializing and legitimizing action. However values diffused in the Italian civil society can be considered as a form of conflict with the established institution of Catholic Church. Civil society shows a peculiar trend towards civic freedoms and ethical pluralism. Although the Catholic perspective is dominant, the civil society prefers a different system of values, even though not so much different from ecclesiastical social doctrine. This way there is a public space where religion is not the reference point and other perspectives take place.

Hrišćanska etika u teoriji i praksi fizičke kulture

A definition of physical culture highlights knowledge OF and FOR physical exercise, which enables transformation of personality from what it is into what it can be. This true in itself - that physical culture employs knowledge to achieve it, hides an array of its possibilities. This knowledge can certainly be of various levels and courses and based on different systems of values. And when knowledge is based on different systems of values, then the transformation of personality - from the real into the possible level can develop in one or the other direction that is, in a positive or a negative direction. At a time when money is a measure of everything, one can readily choose the wrong side in which, according to neoliberalism - everything is allowed. There is no place for orthodox Christian ethics in such environment. This is why we wish to remind you that a lack of orthodox Christian ethics in the science and the profession emerging from the science and supported by global ideas which like a tsunami tear down foundations of civilizational values can lead to worrysome collapse of these basic values. Man would lose most from this collapse. Indeed, our profession is focused on man and his bodily movements - exercise. Therefore, theory and practice of physical culture must be supported by orthodox Christian ethics. In theory, it can be found in theo-anthropocentrism whereas it is an open book in the practice of physical education, sports and recreation; the situation is different. It is because of this diversity that we will look at different approaches both in theory and practice of physical culture.

ЗАВИСИМОСТЬ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИК ДЕТОНАЦИОННЫХ ВОЛН В МНОГОКОМПОНЕНТНОЙ ПУЗЫРЬКОВОЙ ЖИДКОСТИ ОТ НАЧАЛЬНОГО ДАВЛЕНИЯ

Актуальность. Пузырьковые жидкости являются распространенной рабочей средой в ряде отраслей народного хозяйства. Одним из интереснейших процессов, происходящих в пузырьковой жидкости с взрывчатым газом внутри пузырьков, является пузырьковая детонация – распространение детонационных волн. Детонационные волны также могут распространяться в жидкости с пузырьками, частично состоящими из инертного газа. В этом случае наличие пузырьков с инертным газом является некоторым управляющим параметром для характеристик (амплитуды, протяженности, пределов распространения) детонационной волны. Кроме того, существуют экспериментальные данные о влиянии первоначального давления на характеристики волн пузырьковой детонации в многокомпонентной пузырьковой жидкости. Это обусловливает необходимость исследования детонационных волн в многокомпонентных пузырьковых системах при различных значениях начального давления. Цель исследования: изучить динамику детонационных волн в пузырьковой жидкости, частично состоящую из пузырьков с неактивным (не горючим) газом при различных значениях начального давления. Объект: детонационные волны в пузырьковой жидкости, содержащей пузырьки с взрывчатым (активным) и негорючим (неактивным) газом. Методика исследования базируется на фундаментальных уравнениях механики многофазных сред, которые решаются численным методом. Результаты исследования по выявлению особенностей распространения детонационных волн в многокомпонентной пузырьковой жидкости при различных начальных давлениях позволили сделать выводы и дать рекомендации. С уменьшением начального давления многокомпонентных пузырьковых сред скорость распространения детонационных волн снижается. Зависимость скорости детонационной волны в многокомпонентной пузырьковой жидкости от начального давления близка к линейной.
