The 19Th Century

The triad: Orthodoxy, autocracy, people form the basis of the conservative views of F.M.Dostoevsky and A.I. Solzhenitsyn. Based on common worldview constants, thinkers build concepts of a national-conservative persuasion. Their creative heritage is broader than “soil culture”, nevertheless, the ideas of this direction are developing in their journalism. The article presents a comparative analysis of the views of the authors concerning their views on the land, the Russian people and the intelligentsia. An analysis of the texts of Dostoevsky’s “Diary of a Writer”, Solzhenitsyn’s artistic and publicistic miniatures “Krohotki” and his other publicistic works allows us to understand why many of the “soil” issues raised in the 19th century were actualized a century later. The continuity of ideas of authors of different centuries in the context of social and political transformations in society is considered. A significant time period separating Dostoevsky and Solzhenitsyn makes it possible to see not only coincidences and consonances in their work, but also divergences.

Увеличение объёмов баз данных при создании и использовании изделий морской техники (МТ) диктует необходимость снижения размерности этих баз с одновременным повышением достоверности и точности получаемых оценок. Многомерные свойства вновь создаваемых наукоёмких изделий МТ проявляются в сферах, отстоящих от момента принятия решений по их созданию, на значительный временной период (до года и более). Указанное обстоятельство диктует необходимость прогноза всех видов затрат, начиная с ранних этапов разработки технического задания, составления предконтрактного проекта, технической подготовки производства, в условиях неполной известности информации. Вот почему для получения оценок предлагается использовать только известные определяющие параметры. Математические модели оценки абсолютных удельных показателей, отнесённых к значению определяющих параметров (во времени) наиболее полно отвечают решению указанных проблем и доказали свою состоятельность. Научно-методические подходы, изложенные в статье, предлагаются к использованию в отечественном судостроении, замыкая «обратную связь» учёта требований системы производства и использования изделий МТ при принятии решений по их созданию. The increase in the volume of databases for the creation and use of marine equipment products (MT) dictates the need to reduce the dimension of these databases while increasing the reliability and accuracy of the estimates obtained. The multidimensional properties of newly created high-tech MT products are manifested in areas that are separated from the moment of making decisions on their creation for a significant time period (up to a year or more). This circumstance dictates the need to forecast all types of costs, starting from the early stages of the development of the terms of reference, drawing up a pre-contract project, technical preparation of production, in conditions of incomplete information. That is why it is proposed to use only known defining parameters to obtain estimates. Mathematical models for estimating absolute specific indicators related to the value of determining parameters (in time) most fully meet the solution of these problems and have proved their viability. The scientific and methodological approaches outlined in the article are proposed for use in domestic shipbuilding, closing the "feedback" of taking into account the requirements of the production system and the use of MT products when making decisions on their creation.

Despite the popularity of electoral gender quotas, the substantive impact of quotas on the plenary behavior of members of parliament (MPs) has yet to be thoroughly empirically explored, and in particular, there is a dearth of evidence from non-Western cases. Here we create a unique content analysis dataset from 14 years (1998–2011) of plenary debates, including the contents of more than 150,000 unique MP speeches recorded in some 40,000 pages of the Ugandan parliamentary Hansard to test how MP characteristics affect patterns of gender-related legislative speech. We find that female MPs speak about issues related to women's interests significantly more than male MPs. Further, we find no evidence of significant differencesbetweenfemale MPs elected with and without quotas, suggesting that, in the Ugandan case, gender is a more salient predictor of the tendency to “speak for women” than electoral pathway. To our knowledge, this is the first study that examines the effectiveness of quotas in promoting women's substantive representation in parliamentary debates across all policy domains over a significant time period. We discuss the implications of these findings in the Ugandan context, as well as how our evidence speaks to substantive representation through reserved seat quotas in semi-authoritarian regimes more broadly.

AbstractThe leakage theory in the field of deception detection predicted that liars could not repress the leaked felt emotions (e.g., the fear or delight); and people who were lying would feel fear (to be discovered), especially under the high-stake situations. Therefore, we assumed that the aim of revealing deceits could be reached via analyzing the facial expression of fear. Detecting and analyzing the subtle leaked fear facial expressions is a challenging task for laypeople. It is, however, a relatively easy job for computer vision and machine learning. To test the hypothesis, we analyzed video clips from a game show “The moment of truth” by using OpenFace (for outputting the Action Units of fear and face landmarks) and WEKA (for classifying the video clips in which the players was lying or telling the truth). The results showed that some algorithms could achieve an accuracy of greater than 80% merely using AUs of fear. Besides, the total durations of AU 20 of fear were found to be shorter under the lying condition than under the truth-telling condition. Further analysis found the cause why durations of fear were shorter was that the duration from peak to offset of AU20 under the lying condition was less than that under the truth-telling condition. The results also showed that the facial movements around the eyes were more asymmetrical while people telling lies. All the results suggested that there do exist facial clues to deception, and fear could be a cue for distinguishing liars from truth-tellers.

The Origin Of Life

AbstractDifferent current ideas on the origin of life are critically examined. Comparison of the now fashionable FeS/H2S pyrite-based autotrophic theory of the origin of life with the heterotrophic viewpoint suggest that the later is still the most fertile explanation for the emergence of life. However, the theory of chemical evolution and heterotrophic origins of life requires major updating, which should include the abandonment of the idea that the appearance of life was a slow process involving billions of years. Stability of organic compounds and the genetics of bacteria suggest that the origin and early diversification of life took place in a time period of the order of 10 million years. Current evidence suggest that the abiotic synthesis of organic compounds may be a widespread phenomenon in the Galaxy and may have a deterministic nature. However, the history of the biosphere does not exhibits any obvious trend towards greater complexity or «higher» forms of life. Therefore, the role of contingency in biological evolution should not be understimated in the discussions of the possibilities of life in the Universe.

Acute thiamine deficiency was produced in mice by the administration of oxythiamine, a thiamine analogue, superimposed upon a thiamine deficient diet. Adult male Swiss mice (30 gm. B.W.) were fed with a thiamine deficient diet ad libitumand were injected with oxythiamine (170 mg/Kg B.W.) subcutaneously on days 4 and 10. On day 11, severe lassitude and anorexia developed, followed by death within 48 hours. The animals treated daily with subcutaneous injections of thiamine (300 μg/Kg B.W.) from day 11 through 15 were kept alive. Similarly, feeding with a diet containing thiamine (600 μg/Kg B.W./day) from day 9 through 17 reversed the condition. During this time period, no fatal illness occurred in the controls which were pair-fed with a thiamine deficient diet.The oxythiamine-treated mice showed a significant enlargement of the liver, which weighed approximately 1.5 times as much as that of the pair-fed controls. By light and electron microscopy, the hepatocytes were markedly swollen due to severe fatty change and swelling of the mitochondria.

The search for an empirical absorption equation begins with the work of Siegbahn (1) in 1914. At that time Siegbahn showed that the value of (μ/ρ) for a given element could be expressed as a function of the wavelength (λ) of the x-ray photon by the following equationwhere C is a constant for a given material, which will have sudden jumps in value at critial absorption limits. Siegbahn found that n varied from 2.66 to 2.71 for various solids, and from 2.66 to 2.94 for various gases.Bragg and Pierce (2) , at this same time period, showed that their results on materials ranging from Al(13) to Au(79) could be represented by the followingwhere μa is the atomic absorption coefficient, Z the atomic number. Today equation (2) is known as the “Bragg-Pierce” Law. The exponent of 5/2(n) was questioned by many investigators, and that n should be closer to 3. The work of Wingardh (3) showed that the exponent of Z should be much lower, p = 2.95, however, this is much lower than that found by most investigators.

Abstract Functional capacity evaluations (FCEs) have become an important component of disability evaluation during the past 10 years to assess an individual's ability to perform the essential or specific functions of a job, both preplacement and during rehabilitation. Evaluating both job performance and physical ability is a complex assessment, and some practitioners are not yet certain that an FCE can achieve these goals. An FCE is useful only if it predicts job performance, and factors that should be assessed include overall performance; consistency of performance across similar areas of the FCE; consistency between observed behaviors during the FCE and limitations or abilities reported by the worker; objective changes (eg, blood pressure and pulse) that are appropriate relative to performance; external factors (illness, lack of sleep, or medication); and a coefficient of variation that can be measured and assessed. FCEs can identify specific movement patterns or weaknesses; measure improvement during rehabilitation; identify a specific limitation that is amenable to accommodation; and identify a worker who appears to be providing a submaximal effort. FCEs are less reliable at predicting injury risk; they cannot tell us much about endurance over a time period longer than the time required for the FCE; and the FCE may measure simple muscular functions when the job requires more complex ones.
