Photometric and spectroscopic analysis of LBV candidate J004341.84+411112.0 in M31

We study Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) candidate J004341.84+411112.0 in the Andromeda galaxy. We present optical spectra of the object obtained with the 6-m telescope of SAO RAS. The candidate shows typical LBV features in its spectra: broad and strong hydrogen lines and the HeI lines with P Cigni profiles. Its remarkable spectral resemblance to the well known LBV P Cygni suggests a common nature of the objects and supports LBV classification of J004341.84+411112.0. We estimate the temperature, reddening, radius and luminosity of the star using its spectral energy distribution. Obtained bolometric luminosity of the candidate (M bol = -10.40±0.12 mag) is quite similar to those of known LBV stars in the Andromeda galaxy. We analysed ten year light curve of the object in R filter. The candidate demonstrates photometric variations of the order of 0.4 mag, with an overall brightness increasing trend ΔR > 0.1 mag. Therewith, the corresponding colour variations of the object are fully consistent with LBV behavior when a star become cooler and brighter in the optical spectral range with a nearly constant bolometric luminosity. LBV-type variability of the object, similarity of its spectrum and estimated luminosity to those of known LBVs allows us to classify J004341.84+411112.0 as a LBV.

A Criminal Misconduct and the Mechanism of its Establishment

The study is focused on the development of the theory of a criminal misconduct as an independent type of a criminal offense. The aim of the work was to formulate the author’s definition of a criminal misconduct that meets the social demand for the liberalization of the branch of criminal legislation. In the course of the research, the dialectical method was used, which made it possible to discover and analyze the common nature and, at the same time, the independence of a criminal offence and a criminal misconduct A universal tool of cognition was combined with such specific scientific methods as systemic and formal-logical methods. The theses developed in the work are based on the analysis of the content of criminal legislation, as well as the corresponding standins of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and representatives of the criminal law doctrine.The author gives examples from judicial practice as illustrations of legally significant situations that receive an ambiguous criminal-legal assessment at the level of law enforcement.Based on the results of the study, the concept of a criminal offense was formulated and the mechanism of its establishment was revealed. A criminal misconduct is justified as an act, although it contains signs of any corpus delicti, formally belonging to the category of small or medium severity, but recognized by the court, due to its insignificance, as not posing a public danger. The mechanism for establishing a criminal misconduct presupposes a statement in the act of the category of public danger (formal signs of corpus delicti) and further exclusion of the degree of public danger and, as a consequence, public danger in general. The ideas presented in the work can serve as a motive and basis for rethinking issues related to the substantiation of the nature of a criminal misconduct and its delimitation from other legal torts.

THE PREVALENCE AND NATURE OF ON FIELD INJURIES IN FEMALE CRICKETERS

AIM OFSTUDY: To study the nature of injury and common injuries occurring during the match. METHOD:The study was conducted among 59 female cricketers who have sustained any injuries on eld through a face validated questionnaire. Agoogle form was sent to the cricketers and the data received was analysed. RESULTS:The most common nature of injury was muscle injury. Ankle was the most common anatomical location to be injured. CONCLUSION: There is a need to focus on knee injuries because of their severity.

The Heaven and Earth Concepts in Women Beauty Comparison Phraseological Expressions of Different Cultures

Research relevance in this article is the study of concepts Heaven and Earth, through phraseological units belonging to carriers of different-structured languages, which reflect female beauty, determine their universal and national-unique characteristics. Research purpose is to study and analyze the features of stable expressions about the beauty of women associated with the concept Heaven and Earth in different cultures. Research methods: we tried to understand and identify how the beauty of women is reflected in the stable expressions of different peoples, where the culture and assessment of female beauty is preserved in comparison with heavenly bodies and with all earthly beauty on our planet. Research results can be used: in the practice of teaching the course of comparative typology, lexicology of the Russian, Kyrgyz and English languages, as well as in teaching Russian, Kyrgyz and English on a linguacultural basis, both in foreign and national audiences. Conclusions: the semantic spaces of different languages made it possible to compare them with the subsequent allocation of universal universals, the national specifics of the concept sphere, since the concept sphere and the semantic space of a language have a common nature, since they are mental entities.

A Comparative Study of Common Nature-Inspired Algorithms for Continuous Function Optimization

Over previous decades, many nature-inspired optimization algorithms (NIOAs) have been proposed and applied due to their importance and significance. Some survey studies have also been made to investigate NIOAs and their variants and applications. However, these comparative studies mainly focus on one single NIOA, and there lacks a comprehensive comparative and contrastive study of the existing NIOAs. To fill this gap, we spent a great effort to conduct this comprehensive survey. In this survey, more than 120 meta-heuristic algorithms have been collected and, among them, the most popular and common 11 NIOAs are selected. Their accuracy, stability, efficiency and parameter sensitivity are evaluated based on the 30 black-box optimization benchmarking (BBOB) functions. Furthermore, we apply the Friedman test and Nemenyi test to analyze the performance of the compared NIOAs. In this survey, we provide a unified formal description of the 11 NIOAs in order to compare their similarities and differences in depth and a systematic summarization of the challenging problems and research directions for the whole NIOAs field. This comparative study attempts to provide a broader perspective and meaningful enlightenment to understand NIOAs.

We Imagine

Chapter 6 explores the role of the imagination as an individual and communal phenomena, in enabling individuals to recognise who is of a common nature, the basis by which they are useful to each other, a faculty called commonality. The relation of imagination and intellect, crucial to Maimonides and preoccupying parts of the TTP’s discussion of philosophy and theology, will be first grounded in the epistemology of the Ethics. Then, focused on the TTP, explores the socially beneficial effects that can follow from the use of the imagination in bringing communities together, through Spinoza’s account of the prophet. What does it mean then that, in Spinoza’s irony-laden remark, ‘today, so far as I know, we have no prophets’ (TTP 1.7)? The figure of Jesus Christ, presented as both a prophet and a philosopher in the TTP, is one way of thinking through some of the possibilities and ambivalences of the philosopher’s use of reason and imagination. Then, through a late assessment of the relation between the individual and the collective in Benjamin, Lukács and Spinoza, it concludes on the pre-eminence of shared imaginings to communal identity, and the underlying difficulty for group identities in also producing capable, self-determining individuals.

Becoming Collective

Part 3 then turns to aspects of collectivity over three different articulations in Spinoza: the Ethics, TTP, and TP. What does it mean to be one with another person of a common nature, to become ‘one body’ and ‘one mind’, and why does Spinoza repeatedly emphasise this at points across his works? Chapter 5 identifies a tendency towards unanimity that develops across Spinoza’s works unevenly. It is premised in his accounts of sociality and individuation in the Ethics, in which individuals are conatively compelled to associate with one another, and find in reason the most effective common ground in doing so. It argues that there is an emerging view of the good of unanimity, or collective right, which appears in the Ethics and TTP, with fuller exposition in the TP. While some scholarship has focused on the political implications of group subjectivity (e.g. multitudes), there is a wider and more systematic thought of collective power that goes beyond momentary democratic eruptions. This notion of collective right precedes the political as an intrinsic model of association, and one that is more flexible and universal than its specifically political manifestation.

POSTMODERN SOCİETY AND ITS INDİCATORS: A NEW INTERPRETATİON BYUNG CHUL HAN

Every age has its own crises and illnesses. These crises are the result of general attitudes of people in that age. Concentration of interest and curiosity in one direction and accordingly development of behaviours have led to the loss of the virtue of being moderate and to occur extremism in a different direction. Humankind, having discovered to find the middle way, has often turned into nature. Some philosophers investigating these disorders wanted to explain some mechanisms through this common nature with reference to various similarities or biological and psychological illations. To put it more accurately, these unusual illnesses affecting large numbers of people generally either directly affected social structures or indirectly affected them. This effect has been taken so far by some philosophers that they wanted to organise jointly that structures by means of creating an analogy between these structures to which they establish a relationship. They even thought that these structures could be arranged with similar behaviour and, in particular, they thought the findings which can be extracted from the human organism, the first of these, could be transferred to the structure of the state and society. One of the important philosophers of age, Byung Chul Han, analyzes the process from the detection of these diseases until a solution offer, on the basis of many historical examples. In this regard, the philosopher who made noumenal and appropriate determinations paves the way for a new philosophical ground that will enable the understanding of today's society and politics. Here, in this study, illnesses intrinsic to the age created by the postmodern situation have been discussed with reference to the thoughts of Han and the rich and wide content presented by these thoughts.

Ending the ‘Cult of the Broken Home’: Divorce, Children and the Changing Emotional Dynamics of Separating British Families, c. 1945–90

From the 1960s, rising divorce rates forced a re-thinking of family dynamics beyond the nuclear. Traditionally, experts and the public had presumed that children from ‘broken homes’ typically drifted into juvenile delinquency and crime. Children of divorce were blamed for a plethora of social problems. The increasingly common nature of divorce rendered this model unsustainable. Post-war children of divorce were more likely to be framed as ‘emotionally vulnerable’ and studied in more nuanced ways, not least because it seemed increasingly obvious that not all affected children grew up delinquent. A new consensus emerged that problems could only be avoided if parents created appropriate emotional conditions while separating and divorcing, and if parents and children openly communicated their feelings throughout the process. Children themselves were actively encouraged, through a new genre of divorce manuals often aimed at them, to express their emotions with parents and friends. Using Britain as a case study, this article argues that emotions became central to discussion of divorce in the post-war period, placing onuses on breaking down families to create a positive emotional space for affected children.

High pressure and thermal processing on the quality of zucchini slices

In response to the market demand for low processed vegetables, high-pressure treatments (400,600 MPa; 1,5 min) were applied on zucchini slices and compared to a traditional blanching treatment. Histological observations, texture and color analysis, pectinmethylesterase (PME) and antioxidant (DPPH) activities were measured and compared to untreated samples. The histological observations revealed that the longer high-pressure treatments (5 min) led to more extended cell lysis and dehydration than the shorter ones (1 min) and blanching. High-pressure treatments resulted less effective than blanching on PME inactivation, with the best results obtained at 400 MPa for 1 min. Comparable texture parameters were observed for high-pressured and blanched samples. The negative correlation found between PME activity and the texture parameter ‘distance of the first peak force’ revealed an effect of PME on the texture recovery after treatments. High pressure led to a general browning of zucchini parenchyma and to DPPH drop. The correlations found between DPPH and color suggest the common nature of the phenomena. The influence of pressure and time on the studied parameters was revealed by two-way ANOVA. Principal component analysis clustered together the four high-pressure-treated samples, being clearly divided by blanched and untreated ones.
