The Role of Work in the Life of Loránt Hegedüs (1872–1943)

Purpose of the study. Loránt Hegedüs was a remarkable historical figure in interwar Hungary. As a politician, economist, publicist, and belletrist, he influenced contemporary politics, economics, public life, literature, history, and religion. This study aims to understand the role of work in Hegedüs’ life; in other words, the study provides a deeper understanding of what work meant for Hegedüs, which stood behind his extraordinary performance and productivity. In addition, the study addresses further questions as to what factors influenced Hegedüs’ career choice and how, which occupation was the most significant at each stage of his life and why, as well as what his daily schedule looked like and what his working method was. Applied method. The main research question, what role work played in Hegedüs’ life, was examined chronologically and systematically throughout Hegedüs’ entire life story, in close interaction with the socio-cultural context. Levinson’s model provided the theoretical framework of the research. The Levinsonian theory interpreted man’s work as the primary base for his life in society and allowed studying individual and society (in Levinson’s words self and world) together. Based on Levinson’s theory, four periods of Hegedüs’ life were examined. A variety of sources, Hegedüs’ published writings, other contemporary publications, personal records, and a family chronicle, were used to answer the research questions. Outcomes. Work played a decisive role in Hegedüs’ entire life especially in his social integration. On the one hand his exceptional abilities, his unique family (its members, financial background, social affiliation, religion) together with his upbringing, on the other hand external circumstances (changes in politics, economy, and society) shaped Hegedüs’ idea and choices about work. As a result, Hegedüs established clear and strong values about work in adolescence and interpreted work as a duty owed to the community. In this context, his long-term goal was value creation, and his legacy, which he considered essential to support the next generation. Changes in the external world, especially challenges in work or limited possibilities for work, were reflected in the pattern of Hegedüs’ periods of life.

What's wrong with the coastal waters of Spelman Strait, Indonesia: Sustainable reef fisheries management is required

Reef fish in Spelman strait, Indonesia, is one of the fishery resources of considerable economic value. Unfortunately, there is still the use of unfriendly resources equipment (destructive fishing) that cause potential social problems. In this study, all components of the EAFM (Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management) composed of 6 domains, namely (1) fish stocks, (2) environment and ecosystem, (3) fishing techniques, (4) culture, (5) social, and (6) institutional are analyzed combining with MDS (Multidimensional Scaling). The main aim of this research is to find out the root solution for managing coral reefs in the coastal waters of Spelman Strait. The sustainability status review in the fishery resource domain, the environment and ecosystem domain, the fishery technique domain, the social domain, and the economic domain were respectively were 87.69, 88.17, 51.22, 51.61, and 72.67 which were in the category sustainable. Meanwhile, the sustainability status review in the institutional domain was 42.15, which was in the category of less sustainable. Institutions are the primary base for reef fishery protection in the Spelman Strait.

Plant imagery in Indian craft practice: A pedagogical resource

This research explores craft practices in India to understand how they could be used as cultural resources for studying plants. Existing scholarship on a range of craft practices across India reveals an extensive use of real plants, plant representations and plant references. Real plants are used as the primary base raw material, as part of making and production processes and as supporting resources within the wider ecology where craft traditions are practised. Plant representations are seen in three-dimensional ornaments and structures, as well as in two-dimensional decoration and surface patterns. Plants are also referenced through various metaphors and analogies in textual descriptions and verbal accounts of craft practices. This wide botanical presence in Indian craft practices highlights the significant role played by plants in Indian cultural traditions and can be attributed to the centrality of agriculture and religion to the lives of India’s craft practitioners. India’s craft traditions are a rich pedagogical resource as they draw attention to a range of historical, botanical, ethnobotanical and economic aspects of plant use and can serve as a platform to raise critical discussions about the importance of plants to human life and the planet.

SYSTEM OF AUTOMATIC SEGMENTATION OF PAUSES IN PHONOGRAMS ON THE BASIS OF NEURON NETWORKS OF THE DEEP LEARNING

The use of neuron networks of the deep learning for the construction of tool for realization of examinations of materials and apparatus of the digital audio recording allows to solve the «frigging» problem of such examination — problem of exposure of tracks of editing in digital phonograms. These networks provide high probability of exposure of such tracks in the pauses of speech information writtenin on a phonogram. Before man-hunting of tracks of editing in the investigated phonogram it is necessary to distinguish pauses (to perform its segmentation), and tool built on the basis of neuron networks of the deep learning, requires its work to be done in automatic mode. The basic requirement of automatic segmentation is high efficiency of selection of pauses in the conditions of permanent change of level of noises in phonograms. It is determined by probability of errors of І and ІІ kinds. It is offered on the basis of neuron networks of the deep learning to create CAS of segmentation of phonograms, possessing high efficiency of selection of pauses in speech information. Thus the system must be independent of level of noises in every concrete pause, and also language, context and announcer, whose speech is fixed in a phonogram. It is suggested to examine pauses as one of the types of voice information, which characteristics differ from characteristics of speech information fixed in a phonogram. For educating of such network it was required to create the primary base of these sounds and pauses. On its basis three arrays of the data, intended for learning, testing and determination of the crooked errors of І and ІІ kinds, are created. After learning and testing the system passed verification on the real phonograms. As a result taking into account some features of speech on the neuron networks of deep learning there has been built the system providing effective segmentation of pauses in phonograms in the automatics mode. The obtained results suit examination that is conformed by given curves over of errors of І and ІІ kinds.

Wormhole Detection Mechanism in Wireless Sensor Networks

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a component with sensor nodes that continuously observes environmental circumstances. Sensor nodes accomplish different key operations like sensing temperature and distance. It has been used in many applications like computing, signal processing, and network selfconfiguration to expand network coverage and build up its scalability. The Unit of all these sensors that exhibit sensing and transmitting information will offer more information than those offered by autonomously operating sensors. Usually, the transmitting task is somewhat critical as there is a huge amount of data and sensors devices are restricted. Being the limited number of sensor devices the network is exposed to different types of attacks. The Traditional security mechanisms are not suitable for WSN as they are generally heavy and having limited number of nodes and also these mechanisms will not eliminate the risk of other attacks. WSN are most useful in different crucial domains such as health care, environment, industry, and security, military. For example, in a military operation, a wireless sensor network monitors various activities. If an event is detected, these sensor nodes sense that and report the data to the primary (base) station (called sink) by making communication with other nodes. To collect data from WSN base Stations are commonly used. Base stations have more resources (e.g. computation power and energy) compared to normal sensor nodes which include more or less such limitations. Aggregation points will gather the data from neighboring sensor nodes to combine the data and forward to master (base) stations, where the data will be further forwarded or processed to a processing center. In this manner, the energy can be preserved in WSN and the lifetime of network is expanded.

The Communist Party and Peasant Mobilization, c.1932–48

The Algerian Communist Party (PCA) played a particularly important role in the anti-colonial movement in the Chelif region, a prominence that explains why it was chosen as the primary base for the ‘Red Maquis’ guerrilla force in 1956. Chapter 7 looks at the way in which the PCA, dominated by the French Communist Party, initially opposed nationalism and followed the orthodox Marxist doctrine that the peasantry could not constitute a revolutionary class, a vanguard role that could only be assumed by an industrial or urban proletariat. In the Chelif region the veteran communist and trade union leader Mohamed Marouf reflected this position and focused propaganda work on the farm labourers of the plain while neglecting the mountain peasants that were seen as a form of seasonal, blackleg labour. However, from 1932 onwards a minority movement began to emerge in the PCA that was favourable to a peasant-based strategy, and in 1944 this led to the creation of the Syndicat des petits cultivateurs (SPC). The peasant-based movement that developed in the Aurès, Tlemçen, and Chelif mountains during the late 1940s and prepared the ground for a later guerrilla movement.

Opportunistic Channel Allocation Model in Collocated Primary Cognitive Network

The growing demand of radio spectrum to facilitate the primary/secondary users in a cellular network is a challenging task. Many channel allocation models, applying cognition, have been proposed to increase the radio spectrum utilization. The proposed model peruses three types of users: primary users (PUs), opportunistic primary users (OPUs), and secondary users (SUs) that use the radio resources in collocated primary base stations. Out of these users, the opportunistic primary users and secondary users may request for handover as per their requirements. The objective of the model is to enhance the radio spectrum utilization by the opportunistic utilization of radio resources by OPUs and by enabling cognitive radio base stations to collect free channel information dynamically. The cognitive radio base station maintains the centralized free channel at collocated primary base stations to facilitate the SUs opportunistically. The proposed channel allocation technique maintains the Quality of Experience (QoE) of the users as well. The performance analysis of the model is done by simulation which diversifies the importance of the proposed model in the view of minimum blocked services.

TRUST AND SELF-VALUABLE ATTITUDE OF ADOLESCENTS IN DIFFERENT SOCIAL CONDITIONS

The main objective of the study is to study the characteristics of the formation of trust and self-worthy attitude towards oneself in adolescents brought up in different social conditions. Adolescents who are brought up in a difficult life situation do not have a primary base on which trusting relationships and self-worthy attitude towards themselves can be formed. In our study, a self-worth attitude acts as a basic factor influencing the formation of confidence in oneself and in the world. An empirical study was carried out, in which methods were used that determine the characteristics of trust and self-value attitudes, as well as methods for diagnosing the characteristics of the emotional and personal sphere of deprived adolescents. The article examines the theoretical aspects of the role of trust and self-value attitudes of the individual in social interaction, as well as modern studies of the problem of raising adolescents in a difficult life situation. The presented results of the study of adolescents brought up in different social conditions are confirmed by the methods of mathematical statistics. The data obtained show that adolescents who are brought up in a difficult life situation do not have formed trust and self-worthy attitude towards themselves, which manifests itself in the deprivation of trust and personal deformations: a high level of personal and reactive anxiety; a feeling of insecurity and inferiority, hostility, conflict, difficulties in communication and a low level of self-value attitude towards oneself. The article presents an analysis of the differences between adolescents in difficult life situations and adolescents who are not affected by difficult life conditions. Based on the results of the empirical research, a correctional and developmental program for the formation of trusting relationships and self-valuable attitude towards oneself "I am a value" has been developed with the aim of helping adolescents in difficult life situations. Keywords: trust, self-value attitude, difficult life situation, adolescents, mental deprivation, deprivation of trust.

Mineralogy and Metallogenesis of the Sanbao Mn–Ag (Zn-Pb) Deposit in the Laojunshan Ore District, SE Yunnan Province, China

The Sanbao Mn–Ag (Zn-Pb) deposit located in the Laojunshan ore district is one of the most important deposits that has produced most Ag and Mn metals in southeastern Yunnan Province, China. Few studies are available concerning the distribution and mineralization of Ag, restricting further resource exploration. In this study, detailed mineralogy, chronology, and geochemistry are examined with the aim of revealing Ag occurrence and its associated primary base-metal and supergene mineralization. Results show that manganite and romanèchite are the major Ag-bearing minerals. Cassiterite from the Mn–Ag ores yielded a U–Pb age of 436 ± 17 Ma, consistent with the Caledonian age of the Nanwenhe granitic pluton. Combined with other geochemical proxies (Zn-Pb-Cu-Sn), the Sanbao Mn–Ag deposit may originally be of magmatic hydrothermal origin, rather than sedimentary. The Ag-rich (Zn-Pb (Sn)-bearing) ore-forming fluids generated during the intrusion of the granite flowed through fractures and overprinted the earlier Mn mineralization. Secondary Ag (and possibly other base-metals) enrichment occurred through later supergene weathering and oxidation.
