Reprocessing of ore heap leach tailings at the Vasilkovsky GOK, Kazakhstan

Purpose. Representation in a generalized form of the conducted research on the development of technology for heap leaching of gold-bearing tailings at the Vasilkovsky GOK (Altyntau Kokshetau), which can be used to recover gold from technogenic deposits in Kazakhstan. Methods. The research on the gold recovery from the ore beneficiation tailings at the Vasilkovsky deposit is conducted using direct cyanidation. Experiments are performed in open heat-resistant beakers equipped with a mechanical agitator. The preparation of the material for cyanidation consists of the following operations, such as grinding, water washing and alkaline treatment followed by cyanidation. The optimal cyanidation parameters are determined by performing a series of experiments with a change in one parameter at a constant value of others. After the optimal process duration is determined, a series of experiments are conducted with a change in the solids content in the pulp of 20, 25, 33, 50 and 100%. The concentration of cyanide in the solution is 0.1-1.0 g/dm3. The concentration of sodium thiosulphate in the cyanide solution is 0.5-5.0 g/dm3. The process temperature varies within 20, 30, and 40°С. The content of the nutrient medium is the sodium thiosulphate for the used culture T10. Findings. It has been determined that with an increase in the solids content in the pulp, the degree of gold recovery from tai-lings increases, reaching a maximum of 97.5%, with a ratio of (solid : liquid) S:L = 1:1. When the solids content in the pulp is below 50%, a longer agitation leaching of the pulp is required to achieve a recovery of at least 85-90%, which, in turn, leads to high operating costs. Originality. For the first time it has been found that the optimal solids content for maximum gold recovery in the pulp can be considered 50% (or S:L = 1:1). Practical implications. Increasing the solids content in the pulp contributes to the duration of the solvent contact with the ore mass, which allows the use of less concentrated solutions of the leaching agent.

Creating Values: the Entrepreneurial-Science Education Nexus

Values and how values are created in science education are an under-researched field, which is problematic given the importance of epistemic values to the nature of science. From a sociological perspective, values are experienced as emotionally infused ideas with the power to influence choices and actions in everyday situations such as learning through science inquiry. The present study explores the creation of value and values by building on links with entrepreneurial education that are previously explored, but not fully developed, in science education research. Using an entrepreneurial value creation pedagogy (VCP) model as a conceptual framing, this study is situated in a science inquiry project as part of a preservice teachers’ course. The study focuses on the question: How are values in science education created by learning through doing an entrepreneurially infused inquiry project? The study illustrates how preservice science teachers create values for self to produce a sense of purpose, how they create value for agency to support action taking in a science investigation, and how they create value for others. Findings illustrate a synthesis of entrepreneurial value creation practices with science inquiry and possibilities for improving understandings about how social, cultural, and epistemic values may be created in science education. Future studies should explore the interdependence between social, cultural, and epistemic values experienced by learners in naturalistic science education contexts. This could involve analysis of epistemic emotions as a constituent of epistemic values.

Improvement of Event Management Positioning in Enterprise Management

Tendencies of conducting business in the 21st century created the need to transform conventional approaches in management seeking opportunities for implementing new effective management tools for various aspects of production and economic activity. Recently, event management has become one of the most dynamic subsystems of enterprise management functioning in parallel with other subsystems (in particular, subsystems of financial management, production management, quality management, personnel management, innovation management, management of foreign economic activities, information management, risk management, project management, etc.). The pace of event industry development is increasing every year, both in Ukraine and worldwide. Today, it is difficult to imagine existence of any business sphere without the tools and methods of various business event management initiatives (business meetings, fairs, exhibitions, conferences, congresses, marketing events, social initiatives, etc.), as well as without teambuilding character of activities at economic entities, encompassed in the concept of event management. At the same time, giving its low coverage in literature, the issue of event management positioning in the enterprise management leads to the creation of various problems: it becomes difficult to determine its optimal structure depending on the type of business, its role in ensuring development of a business entity is "blurred", its significance in creating added business value is underestimated, etc. The purpose of this article is to develop a model for positioning event management in company management, looking at it from a two dimentional perspective: focusing on processes and focusing on the future, depending on the level of event management integration into the overall management system in a company. To achieve the set goal, a systematic approach, a graphic display method, as well as a structural and logical analysis were used. The proposed model adds value to the list of scientific and practical provisions in event management sphere, as it makes it possible to unfold its deep essence and structure, which are instrumental for the realities of modern businesses, and to determine its connection with other management subsystems through the prism of "value for others". In addition, the given proposals contribute to the understanding of event management as a system-forming component in increasing business efficiency. Finally, the specified model will help to increase profitability of enterprise by integrating divisions involved in event management processes. It is about event management at its highest levels of development contributing to the creation of actual added business value

Contractual Inequality

Most individuals strive to satisfy every obligation laid out in standard form contracts such as mortgages, insurance plans, or credit agreements. Sophisticated parties, however, adapt and modify their obligations during contract performance by negotiating for lenient treatment and taking advantage of unclear terms. The common law explicitly authorizes variance from standardized contract terms during performance. When the same standard terms create value for sophisticated individuals and destroy value for others, the result is contractual inequality. Contractual inequality has grown without scrutiny by courts or scholars, enabling regressive redistribution of resources and creating economic inefficiency by sowing distrust in markets for consumer contracts. To document the magnitude of contractual inequality, this Article provides novel empirical evidence from a case study of residential mortgage contracts. Data from a large nationwide sample show that many mortgage servicers choose not to utilize their power to foreclose on a borrower in default, with more than one-third of nonpaying borrowers avoiding foreclosure. Servicers disproportionately foreclose on borrowers in poor neighborhoods, regressively redistributing over $500 million in wealth to high-income communities each year. Moreover, servicers’ unfettered freedom to choose who undergoes foreclosure may have reduced the value of mortgages to consumers, increasing market inefficiency. Courts and regulators need not turn a blind eye to contractual inequality, allowing private market forces to determine the exercise of contract rights. This Article argues that lawmakers should gather information about inequalities in contract performance and disseminate such data to private and public enforcement authorities. By bringing these inequalities to light, lawmakers can take a first step toward more efficient contract markets and a more equal society.

The Attitude of Teachers Towards Intercultural Education in Schools

Promoting an intercultural perspective in education must rely on a certain vision upon society. Given the special significance in educational approaches, the intercultural approach is a new way of designing and implementing the school curriculum and a new relational attitude among teachers, students and parents. The intercultural perspective opens new avenues for the manifestation of diversity and differences. Intercultural positioning is not reduced to a cumulative presentation of knowledge about the values of others, but it means cultivating attitudes of respect and openness to diversity. This attitude is born through a permanent communication with others and through a careful and optimal decentralization towards one’s own cultural norms. Therefore, the management of the intercultural conflicts made in the context of school learning experiences must be related to the dynamic perspective on the changes that characterize the educational reality in terms of educational innovation. As a consequence, a pertinent analysis of this phenomenon is required, in order to bring the necessary restructuring in order to optimize school activity and prevent conflict management between students belonging to different cultures, being known the fact that the more elaborate the interaction, the more effective and productive it becomes.

A Leadership Role: Creating an Ethics of Diversity

Although we desire peace and tranquility, harmony and social stability, life can be harsh and brutish. We also acknowledge exploiting the values of others for self- aggrandizement negates their sacred personhood. And although we dance on the summit of individual rights and liberties conceding their personal and private nature, we need to understand democracy is built on a collectivity of like-minded people, on a foundation of dialogic civility, communal accountability, and a moral sensibility that is pubic and open to criticism and adjustments.

Career path changer: the case of public and private sector entrepreneurial employee intentions

PurposeThis paper seeks to identify the organisational context and the combinations of antecedent conditions needed to change employee behaviour in public and private sectors towards being an entrepreneurial employee/“intrapreneur”.Design/methodology/approachThe framework adopted assumed that for employees from both public and private sectors a range of factors contributes to a configurational effect. These factors—that can shift their behaviour towards being or becoming an intrapreneur—are the novelty of entrepreneurship, opportunities for permanent learning, the possibility of creating value for others and personal motivation.FindingsFour possible combinations of antecedent conditions that could lead to the expected outcome (being or becoming an entrepreneurial employee/intrapreneur) are consistent with the proposed model. Using a quantitative approach was appropriate for examining contrasting entrepreneurial intentions, specifically in identifying the profiles of the employees who might bring the company to the next level: information that could be useful to all managers.Research limitations/implicationsDue to the exploratory nature of the research, with descriptive statistics, the correlations focused solely on the respondents' demographical characteristics. Further comparative analysis should be conducted, therefore, between public and private sectors and with larger numbers of respondents.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge, the proposed study is novel as the first empirical integrative study using the fsQCA methodology to address the intrapreneurial phenomenon of employees from public and private organisations.

Political populism and popular culture

The article provides a comparative analysis of the cultural practices of political populism and the popular culture. The leading role of the media in the formation and promotion of popular movements and leaders is emphasized. There is a difference in the understanding of a leader's charisma that brings new values, according to Max Weber, and the pseudo-charisma of modern populist leaders that is created by their regular presence in the media. Populist politician is seen as a sign in cultural communication, where the politician’s personality is put as the signifier, and the ideology that the politician promotes — as the signified. Based on this analysis, three ideal types of populists have been identified: a blank sign that is focused on the present and represents populists without ideology; a sign that is oriented on the past and represents a populist national ideology; the sign that is oriented on the future and represents the reformers, the bearers of new social values. Theoretical approaches to the interpretation of popular culture are analyzed and it is pointed out that a mass society emerging is necessary both for the phenomenon of popular culture and for political populism to perform the quantitative indicator of public preferences. Common characteristics in the functioning of popular culture and populism are revealed — symbolism, emotionality, "origin from people", resistance against the system. The decisive role of the media in cultural communication for both popular culture and political populism is emphasized. However, there are significant differences between popular culture and political populism. Popular culture has its own values, while political populism uses values of others. Comparing popular culture and its impact on culture in general on one hand and political popularization and its impact on the political system on the other, a scrutator could expect for some renewal and diversification of current political institutions that would be a positive factor for the global political system and global society.

Shaping a Values-Based Attitude toward Human in the Context of Postmodernism via the Structural-Functional Model

The problem of shaping a values-based attitude toward humans requires complex, universal, and multilevel solutions (natural-scientific, cosmological-anthropological, sociological, cultural, moral, and ethical aspects). Another side of the problem lies in the postmodern devaluation of classical values that has caused a crisis in the education of the younger generations. The article presents the author’s conceptual, scientific-methodical, structural-functional model and technology for shaping a values-based attitude toward humans by stages in the humanities-oriented educational environment. Given postmodern trends in the post-Soviet countries with “young democracies”, the structural components of this model are as follows: the consideration of human nature in mastering disciplines, as well as out-of-classroom and out-of-school work, that seek to shape humanistic consciousness, feelings, and behavior based on basic values. In this regard, it is essential to help students learn to respect themselves, understand their personality (reflexivity), and resist external negative factors (emotional stability). Besides, it is important to consider the axiological component in a study of human nature, teach students to realize the value of others and develop their empathy skills.

VALUE POTENTIAL OF MUSIC TEACHERS’ ARTISTIC AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY

The purpose of the article is to analyze the phenomenon of music teachers’ artistic and educational activity in the artistic and value context as well as projections for professional training. The integral content of such activity in the teaching profession is revealed in general, and its connection with the values of culture is considered. It is emphasized that art education covers all disciplines of professional music and pedagogical training. At the same time, the tasks of the particular discipline always are in the centre of the solution of problems of other disciplines. Moreover, the place of education in life and work of prominent artists and teachers of Ukraine, China, and other countries is indicated. The role of poly-artistic training of music teachers as a basis for the formation of artistic values is emphasized. The requirements of artistic and educational activity for professional training of music teachers are outlined as the following: attitude towards educational activity, self-development of cultural skills, mastery of information space, development of performing skills, mastering the techniques of verbal and nonverbal communication with the audience. 
 The article specifies the essence of music teacher’s artistic and educational activity as a purposeful permanent process that integrates various components of artistic cognition. The interdependent vectors of professional training of music students are formulated. They are the following: a directed influence on artistic values of others and conscious enrichment of one’s own artistic value sphere. The potential of music teacher’s artistic and educational activity as a foundation and reference point for acquiring personal artistic values is revealed, which includes motivation to expand general artistic erudition, the possibility of holistic practice-oriented immersion in art, presentation of the results of artistic search, and self-presentation.

Identifying indicators of systemic risk

We operationalize the definition of systemic risk provided by the IMF, BIS, and FSB and derive a two-stage hierarchical hypothesis test to identify indicators of systemic risk. Applying the framework to a set of candidate variables for 45 countries, we detect two credit-based financial cycle variables that, by and large, pass our test. However, for many other variables, including the Basel III credit-to-GDP gap, we find that elevated systemic risk is signaled by high values in some countries and by low values in others. More generally, our results suggest that, ex ante, systemic risk can be clearly identified only once the turning points of indicators have been observed.

Impact of US Drama Binge-Watching in the Emirates: Third-Person Effect and Cultural Self-Conceptual

The study investigates respondents’ perception of the negative effects of US drama binge-watching on their cultural values as compared with its perceived effects on the cultural values of others. The study helps in understanding the extent to which Arab residents in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) perceive media’s imperialist influence upon themselves as compared with others. It examines the perceptual and behavioral components of the third-person effect (TPE) in relation to binge-watching TV. Cultural background traits (individualism and collectivism) are studied as an intervening variable. The results showed that binge-watchers of US drama tend to perceive the potential negative influences of US drama to exist more for others than for themselves. The presence of individualist vs collectivist cultural tendency did not have a significant impact on the workings of TPE. The perceptual component of TPE was proved, while the behavioral component was not significant. This research was funded by the Zayed University Office of Research 2019.

WILLIAM JAMES’S DEMOCRATIC AESTHETICS

AbstractWilliam James is famous for his investigations of the “Varieties of Religious Experience” in which people encounter (what they take to be) the divine. But in his essay, “On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings,” his interest is in our experiences, not of anything purportedly supernatural, but of one another. He thinks we need to cultivate the capacity to apprehend the intrinsic value of others, even and especially of strangers. We do so in experiences of the wonder and beauty of our fellow citizens, and of our harmony with them. Democratic societies require a sense of attraction to one another’s form of life if they are to inspire shared commitments to public goods. Whereas we shouldn’t reject the political significance of aversion, contestation, and dissonance, these negative attitudes do not suffice. Sustaining democratic engagement requires attractive attitudes, and among these are the wonder, beauty, and harmony that James promotes.

Quaternion domain Laplace transform of the pulse vector

The Laplace transform (LT) is widely used in radio engineering for signal and circuit analysis. The PL greatly facilitates the solution of differential equations, the calculation of transfer functions, the finding of impulse responses, etc. Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems are becoming more common today. With input influences on such systems, at the output signals are obtained, the elements of which are closely related to each other, and changes in some influencing elements of the input vector change the values of others. Such changes are usually associated with the preservation of the vector norm during transformation. Obviously, this completely changes the shape of the output response and, accordingly, its spectrum. To calculate such changes, it is possible to use the usual PL of real signals and the corresponding theorems. However, this approach requires a significant investment of time and computational resources. If you change the amplitude, shape, time shift of at least one pulse, you will have to repeat all the calculations again. Quaternion transformations, including the Laplace transform, have been studied in many works. However, these studies are often of a general theoretical nature or are used only to obtain the Fractional Quaternion Laplace Transform of 2D images. To calculate the LT of the impulse vector when using the MIMO scheme, it is proposed to use hypercomplex numbers, in the particular case, quaternions. Quaternion is a hypercomplex number with one scalar and three imaginary numbers i, j, k. To get rid of operations with imaginary numbers, the quaternion is represented as an orthogonal 4×4 matrix. The matrix, in turn, is decomposed into 4 basis matrices. Moreover, operations with matrices correspond to operations with imaginary units and the quaternion as a whole. It is shown that the quaternionic Laplace transform (QLT) of the vector is represented as a one-dimensional integral from 0 to ∞ of the vector. In this case, the matrix exponent in the power of the quaternion frequency matrix S = Eσ + 1/√3(I + J + K)ω is used as the transformation kernel, where E, I, J, K are basis matrices. The main properties of the QLT are considered. It is shown that in terms of the notation form, the properties of the QLT correspond to the properties of the LT of real functions, taking into account the non-commutativity of matrix multiplication. Therefore, to calculate the QLT, it is possible to use the well-known expressions for the LT of real pulses with the replacement of the complex frequency s by the matrix of quaternion frequencies S. Expressions for the QLT are obtained for the pulse vectors, which are often used to solve radio engineering problems. It is shown that for σ = 0 these expressions correspond to the quaternionic Fourier transform of the vector pulses. In general, vector pulses can have different delays, amplitudes and shapes. Expressions are obtained for finding the QLT of such vectors.

Water quality and fish diversity of Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta reservoir

Federal University of Agriculture reservoir is one of the recently constructed in Abeokuta, Ogun state, Nigeria, therefore the need to assess the water quality, fish diversity and catch assessment of this new water body. Data on fish species were collected on a forthnight basis using multi-stage gillnet sampling techniques for four months (September- December, 2011). Three sampling stations were randomly selected from the entire reservoir. A variety of sampling methods were used at each site in order to reach every fish species. At the river channel and the floodplain sites, traps, cast nets (2.55cm mesh), seine nets (2.55 x 2 cm mesh), monofilament nylon gillnets (15.55 cm mesh), and hook and line were employed. Efforts were made in order to catch fish species in large abundance. Some sampled fish (dead) were collected and placed in cool boxes and examined within 18 hours of capture. Others were preserved in 15% formalin and stored for later examination. A total of 863 fish specimens were caught during the study period. These were identified and classified into 5 species belonging to 3 families. The percentage species composition of the harvest by numbers and weight for all fish species that contributed more than 1% in all the stations combined, were computed. Study of the physico-chemical parameter such as dissolved oxygen ranged from 5.03 to 7.19mg/l; 26 to 280C temperature; 64.8 to 148ppm alkaline; pH 6.67-6.90; 32.5 to 53.5m transparent; 8.86 to 13.72mg/l nitrate; 0.58 to 0.64mg/l phosphate; 0.024 to 0.069 o/oo saline; 103-270cm deep. pH and water temperature serve as variables since the fluctuation of one affects the values of others. The water quality parameters were favourable for fish production. The gillnet fisheries indicated that different mesh sizes of experimental gillnets were sensitive to different fish species. 67.2mm, 78.4mm and 112mm, mesh sizes were efficient in catching Clarias gariepinus, Barbus occidentalis and the Cichlids respectively. The study has shown that middle water was the most suitable habitat for fish in the reservoir. Water level and temperature were observed to guarantee high fish yield in the reservoir.

A Study on the Anti-bias Education of Elementary Social Studies through Value Analysis

편견은 자신의 기반 지식이나 사고 체계를 바탕으로 어떠한 대상에 대한 가치판단을 통해 형성된다. 잘못된 가치판단에서 야기되는 부정적 편견은 심각한 경우 차별로 이어져 사회 문제를 발생시킨다는 점에서 이러한 편견을 갖게 되는 가치판단 과정에 대한 충분한 검토가 이루어질 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 사회과에서의 반편견교육의 중요성에 대해 주목하고 학생 스스로 가치문제에 대해 성찰하고 합리적인 가치 결정 과정에 직접 참여함으로써 가치문제를 해결하고 바람직한 가치를 내면화 할 수 있는 가치분석 모형을 재구성하여 제안하였다. 재구성된 가치분석 모형은 가치문제를 명확하게 인식하고 해결의 필요성을 느끼게 하는 가치문제 파악 단계, 가치문제와 관련된 사실을 수집하여 가치판단을 위한 사실전제 확인 단계, 가치문제와 관련된 사실적 근거와 가치원리를 살펴보고 가치판단의 근거를 마련하는 가치판단 검토 단계, 학습자가 자신이 내린 가치판단 속에 내재되어 있는 가치원리를 받아들일 수 있는지를 결정하는 가치원리 수용 여부 판단 단계, 가치문제의 전반을 확인하고 나와 다른 가치를 인정하고 존중하며 가치판단을 행동으로 실천하는 가치에 대한 내면화 및 행동화 단계로 구성된다. 본 연구에서는 재구성된 가치분석 모형을 초등학교 사회과 4학년 2학기 ‘다양한 문화에 대한 이해와 존중’에 적용한 사례를 제시함으로써 가치분석을 통한 사회과 반편견교육의 이론적 탐색을 실질적 적용으로 논의를 확장시키고자 한다.Prejudice is formed through the value judgment of an object based on one s knowledge or thinking system. Considering that negative prejudice based on false value judgment leads to harmful discrimination and problems in society, it needs to examine the value judgment process that leads to such prejudice. This study, focuses on the importance of anti-bias education in social studies and proposes a re-organized value analysis model to allow students to self-reflect on value problems and to participate in the process of rational value determination, thereby promoting student’s participation in value problem solving and internalizing desirable values. The first step of the value analysis model is to recognize the value problem and identify the value problem that should be resolved. In the second step, facts related to the value problem are collected and are verified for value judgment. The third step examines the factual basis and value principles related to the value problem, and reviews the value judgment to prepare the basis for the value judgment. The fourth step is to evaluate whether or not to accept the value principle, which determines whether the learner can accept the value principle within the value judgment made by the learner. The final step consists of internalizing and acting on values, such as recognizing and respecting different values of others. This study extends the discussion on the theoretical search and practical application of anti-bias education through a value analysis model.

Value creation in entrepreneurial education: towards a unified approach

PurposeThis paper aims to propose a unified framework for understanding the development and distribution of value within and from enterprise and entrepreneurship education. In doing so, the authors trace the origins of value creation pedagogy back 100 years and reconnect this lost literature to contemporary thinking as to what constitutes value creation pedagogy.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual paper identifies specific temporal-specific problems with current thinking in enterprise and entrepreneurship educationvis-à-viswho gains the value from value creation pedagogies. To address this identified anomaly, the authors seek to develop a spectrum of value-creating activities/processes applicable to enterprise and entrepreneurship education. The underlying aim of this approach is to provide clarity around who specifically benefits from value creation pedagogies, how and when.FindingsIn developing a spectrum of value-creating activities/processes applicable to enterprise and entrepreneurship education, the authors have successfully located all major forms of value creation pedagogies in an iterative manner that caters to the authentic development of value for oneself and others. The proposed model assumes that the creation of authentic value for others should be preceded by the development of specific capabilities in the value creators.Practical implicationsThere are important implications that arise for all enterprise and entrepreneurship educators in the discussions presented here. Most importantly, value creation pedagogies should be fueled by the ongoing development of purpose, agency and capability via cultivated reflection.Originality/valueThis paper broadens the notion of what constitutes value creation pedagogy in enterprise and entrepreneurship education. In doing so, the authors elevate the importance of student creative competency development over value creation.
