Technological Integration

As a global and profuse fact, all professions are more or less affected by the rapid penetration of technology in their domain of practice. As the technological capacity progresses, we observe a gradual replacement of human skills by machine-guided procedures. Although such a gradual passage undeniably reduces the human presence in the practice of a profession, the transfer seems not to be a linear process. It has rather a pivoting character, comprising a series of ambivalences and contradictions. Consequently, professionals tend to keep their already acquired knowledge and ability through education and practice, and instead submissively abandon their place to technological tools. From such a perspective, we discuss in this article the strategies of resistance adopted and developed by professionals for keeping their professional power. Among a variety of professions, we choose to focus on medicine and aviation, due to their two fundamental distinctive characteristics: Both have (1) a high degree of technological determination, and (2) accomplishing vital functions. For this purpose, we discuss the strategies of resistance towards technology by professionals, throughout data we gathered from some field research conducted with doctors and pilots.

The number of in vitro and clinical trials of traditional or "folk" remedies has been growing rapidly. Overall, the results indicate a high degree of efficacy for indigenous pharmacopoeia, although some individual remedies seem ineffective or toxic. Since comparatively little attention has been devoted to the prescription of traditional remedies, however, this efficacy has probably been underestimated. Current field research makes assumptions about the legal structure and pedagogy of traditional healing systems, furthermore, which invite significant errors. Traditional healing systems do not simply match drugs with diseases, but acknowledge the individuality of patients' physiologies, and employ complex models for combining remedies into individually-tailored compounds. The extent to which healers engage in innovation, experimentation, and exchange of experience must also be recognized.

AbstractIndividual identification is an important technique in animal research that requires researcher training and specialized skillsets. Face recognition systems using artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning have been put into practical use to identify in humans and animals, but a large number of annotated learning images are required for system construction. In wildlife research cases, it is difficult to prepare a large amount of learning images, which may be why systems using AI have not been widely used in field research. To investigate the development of a system that identifies individuals using a small number of learning images, we constructed a system to identify individual Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui) with a low error rate from an average of 20 images per individual. The characteristics of this system were augmentation of data, simultaneous determination by four individual identification models and identification from a majority of five frames to ensure reliability. This technology has a high degree of utility for various stakeholders and it is expected that it will advance the development of individual identification systems by AI that can be widely used in field research.

The swine stands out in some regions of Brazil and more specifically, in Santa Catarina, mainly by having national leadership in the slaughter of these animals. This study constitutes a very important tool, since the identification of the main consumed cuts and analysis of what it means meat with high quality for the consumer Xanxerense, will identify the user profile and contribute to the production system products meat. Field research with primary data collection using forms applied to pork consumers Xanxerê was used. Of the interviewed, 93.3% reported consuming pork meat. Moreover, it was observed that most of the people receive a personal or family income 2-5 the minimum wage in real. The rib was the main cutting preference. Further, it was found that the clear appearance and visible fa t are features that influence the high degree of quality of pork meat for men and women, respectively. Therefore, it is necessary to invest in actions that demonstrate the socio-economic factors involved in the consumption of pork, as well as studies that analyze the quality of the product and the real environmental impact with its production.

The importance of the study is determined by the need for a comprehensive analysis of the conducted sociolinguistic experiment in order to identify the forms and means of impoliteness and to clarify the linguistic status of the latter. The objective of the article is, by means of a survey, to find out the forms, types and means of impoliteness among the student youth. The investigation of social awareness of the anti-etiquette space based on the analysis of the SE participants’ answers has never before been in the focus of linguists. The object of the study is the sociolinguistic experiment, the subject being the characteristics of forms and means of impoliteness. The following scientific methods are employed: the method of observation – to fix linguistic and non-linguistic expressions of anti-etiquette forms; the descriptive method – to identify the characteristic features of forms and means of impoliteness; analysis and synthesis of factual material in order to systematize and classify the factual material; the field research method with a questionnaire as its most common technique – to collect the corpus; the quantitative method and the method of sociolinguistic analysis of the collected corpus – to process the revealed facts about the subject of the study; the psycholinguistic method – to process and analyze the speech data received from informants as a result of questioning, which helped to establish the forms, types and methods of impoliteness among students. Findings. The authors claim that a high degree of impoliteness in the speech of young people is a means of self-expression and self-establishment, a striving for violation of social taboo, a way to set up one’s own communicative rules. The use of the anti-etiquette forms of communication is influenced by a variety of factors such as age, sex, social status, area of residence, education, and profession. The survey has revealed certain differences in the regional use of the anti-etiquette forms in Ukraine. Being accurate and emotionally colored, those forms express a negative phenomenon which sometimes exists in the process of communication.

Recently, geotechnical problems that are characterized by a high degree of complexity and uncertainty with respect to input data have been solved using Bayesian analysis. One example is the problem of cautious estimation of geotechnical parameters according to Eurocode 7 requirements. The research included various types of soil such as peat, gyttja, organic mud, and clays. These were studied in order to develop an empirical correlation for determining the unit weight of mineral and organic soils. The compiled database of documented field research sites for different types of soil was used to investigate and develop direct relationships between measured results and dilatometer (DMT) readings, i.e., po and p1 together with pore water pressure (uo) and pressure (Pa). The soil unit weights were determined for both mineral and organic soils. The paper addresses the applicability of the Bayesian approach in geotechnics via a simple example related to the determination of characteristic values of geotechnical parameters for design structures. The results show that it is possible to conduct a more reliable forecast with improved statistical measures compared to other available methods for multilayer subsoils.

Choosing terms for biblical concepts is a challenge for Bible translation because there are no one-to-one equivalents. Some advise translators to use non-local terms for biblical concept whenever the available local terms do not have a high degree of correspondence to the biblical concept to avoid communicating wrong meaning. Others advise translators to use local terms as much as possible, trusting that the biblical context will reshape the conceptual category. Field research on terms used in the Adioukrou Scriptures (Côte d'Ivoire) shows the effect of both these strategies on local theology.

The article is devoted to the problem of technosymbiosis in the aircraft of the 6th generation. We discussed the actual engineering and psychological problems arising in the process of thematic development of aviation equipment of high degree of automation. We explain and criticize the basic concepts of thematic and engineering-psychological design that implement the principle of human inclusion to artificial interfaces and environments. The concept of "multiplication of possibilities" and a symbiotic approach to the integration of the pilot and the aircraft, according to which the integration of the pilot (crew) with the aircraft is of a symbiotic nature, which results in a new techno-biotic self-organizing unity, behaving as a combat unit, focused on achieving decisive superiority over the enemy. We have shown that the problem of technosymbiosis closely connected with the solution of the problem of design of interfaces. Further increase in the degree of integration of the pilot with the interface environment involves going beyond the classical physical and physical-algorithmic interactions. We discuss the problems of trainings system used for pilots training and increasing integration with the control systems of the aircraft. The directions and technologies of technological integration associated with the possibility of implementing the methodology of "multiplication of opportunities" in the design of aviation systems of high degree of automation.

Descriptive Survey

The author’s field research, performed in July 2000, was aimed at the descriptive survey of the diversity of mire vegetation in the poorly known West Siberian area, the so called Surgut Polesje. The palsa ridge-and-lake and palsa ridge-and-pool bog complexes dominate the area landscape. Such bogs make for the core of vast and heterogeneous mire systems, the other elements of the latter being transitional bogs and treeless or wooded fens. The mire systems are separated from each other only by rivers; the fens are located on river valley slopes. The following mire vegetation complexes (mire sites) were described: 1) oligotrophic palsa ridge-and-lake or palsa ridge-and-pool; 2) palsa ridge-and-hollow; 3) meso­trophic or heterotrophic aapa-mire; 4) mesotrophic-eutrophic sedge or sedge-peatmoss poor fen; 5) wooded sedge fen with low Betulatortuosa; 6) wooded sedge fen with one or two layers of Pinussibirica and Betulapubescens. The investigated mire vegetation displays a high degree of syntaxonomical diversity, belonging to the 4 classes, Oxycocco-Sphagnetea, Scheuchzerio-Cariceteanigrae, Phragmito-Magnocaricetea,and Alneteaglutinosae, with 4 orders, 6 alliances, and 8 associations, listed in the tables. There are no rare communities in the area, to the possible exception of some types of wooded sedge fens. The mire system margins along rivers and flowing lakes seem to be potentially most interesting for a vege­tation scientist.

Batik is one of the ancestral heritage of Indonesia. As a characteristic of the nation's wealth, batik needs to be positioned strategically, in addition to being a means of community economic development, it can also be implemented as a medium for character building of national identity, batik must also be preserved and developed continuously and reconstructed to characterize the value of identity through Da'wah media. This study aims to (1) Reconstruct the Value of Batik as Da'wah Media Based on the Characteristics of Bogor Ulama Teaching (Motifs of Gentong Symbols, Rice, Rainwater, Rainbow / Katumbiri). This research is a field research, with the type of survey research. The research found, that batik can be reconstructed into da'wah media through, first, the transmission of ulama teachings through the Batik da’wah motif characterized by ulama in Bogor, secondly, the transformation of the teachings of ulama applicative through Muslim fashion is characterized by the value of the teachings of Mama Falak Pagentongan. With the transmission and transformation of the teachings of the clerics, the barrel-shaped pattern means the high degree of human beings due to knowledge.
