There are multiple aspects of the importance of work: economic, social, psychological, pedagogical and the like. Above all, work enables the existance of the individual and those who depend on her/him. In addition, work provides social interaction of individuals with their colleagues, it represents the source of social status and prestige, and also has a very high intrinsic value for individuals as a source of identity, self-esteem and self-actualisation. Work is therefore a central human value and one of the key factors for the individual development within the society. The article defines basic concepts and terms in the filed of work pedagogy, such as: work, pedagogical value of work, professional values, job satisfaction and preoccupation with work, work attitude, professional development and career guidance. Based on the outcomes of scientific research on work attitude, it can be relatively easy to predict the economic prosperity of a particular state, to update the relations between ethnic and ethical aspects of work, to use the therapeutic role of work in the communes for addicts which act on a maxim ''ora et labora'', analyse career guidance, retraining and further education needs (which are very important for individual and social development), alienation of people in the labour process (some sociologists consider work utilitarism as a distinguishing mark of worker alienation), work stimulation (every from of work attitude should be stimulated adquately, otherwise there will be no increasing work productivity). Thus it is also possible to recognise creative tasks and individuals (self-actualisation orientation isa a significant indicator of professions which are an expression of creativity), the role of spare time in the process of (dis)alienation from work and to predict social changes as well as the effectiveness of various reforms (in fossilised work attitude and education one cannot expect any progress in proposed reforms).

Full textAbstract:
As the scientific marketplace rapidly evolves, we must keep revisiting strategic preparation of our doctoral students and early career scholars to be successful innovators in these contexts. As an inherently integrative, change-oriented, community-engaged, and context-sensitive discipline, social work has enormous potential as a value-added partner for greater cross-fertilization among scientists and stakeholders not only from the academy but also from clinical settings, laboratories, industry, and systems leadership. Yet social work researchers not uncommonly encounter perception challenges as they strive to bring their scientific potential and wares to the marketplace. This article argues that innovation and impact are now central expectations of research. Current research priorities increasingly require teams to function at a transdisciplinary level of theoretical and methodological integration and to develop translational partnerships. The article concludes with thoughts on educational directions to better prepare our T-shaped emerging scholars to be perceived and function as value-added research innovators.

The Development of Socialism from Idea to Science (hereinafter referred to as Development), taken from Engels' book Anti-Dühring, is an introductory work of scientific socialism, which was called "the most important part of the theoretical part" by Engels. The text profoundly elucidates the ideological origins of scientific socialism and reveals the importance of the materialist concept of history and the doctrine of surplus value. Revisiting this classic in the new era will be of great benefit to us in firmly establishing the correct political direction, opposing all kinds of historical nihilism and non-socialist thinking, and advancing the construction of socialism.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the scientific nature of work-based learning (WBL) and research as operationalized in Professional Studies by examining first principles of scientific inquiry. Design/methodology/approach This paper introduces a Professional Studies program as it has been implemented at University of Southern Queensland in Australia and examines it from the perspective of five first principles of scientific inquiry: systematic exploration and reporting, use of models, objectivity, testability and applicability. The authors do so not to privilege the meritorious qualities of science or to legitimise WBL or its example in Professional Studies by conferring on them the status of science, but to highlight their systematised approach to learning and research. Findings If the authors define Professional Studies to mean the systematic inquiry of work-based people, processes and phenomena, evidence affirmatively suggests that it is scientific “in nature”. Originality/value WBL has been well documented, but its orientation to research, particularly mixed methods (MM) research through Professional Studies, and its adherence to first principles of science have never been explored; this paper begins to uncover the value of work-based pedagogical approaches to learning and research.

Full textAbstract:
The effectiveness of research teams and scientists is largely estimated by their publication activity. One indicator of the quality of scientific work is the absence of plagiarism. The purpose of this paper was to consider the problems that arise with the formal-mechanistic approach to the detection of plagiarism in scientific papers. The questions of the correlation of meaning and plagiarism; quoting your own work; quoting and inaccurate quoting; the use of generally accepted expressions, laws, definitions; the need to refine anti-plagiarism systems are considered. It is shown that due to the fact that anti-plagiarism systems do not analyze the meaning of the text, “overdiagnosis” occurs. As a result of an uncritical approach to the conclusions of such systems, the writing of scientific papers becomes more complicated. The necessity of developing more accurate criteria for determining what is plagiarized in scientific papers is noted. Some suggestions were made to reduce the shortcomings of the formal approach.

In the paper the issues of work satisfaction as a part of life satisfaction were discussed. Research problem included link between terminal values, instrumental values or values connected with scientific fulfill and work satisfaction of university workers. Results of the conducted research showed, that work satisfaction is dependent from realizing terminal values in work. The more values person feels to realize, the more satisfied with the work he or she was and vice versa. Terminal values had more influence on work satisfaction than instrumental values or values connected with scientific fulfill. Analyzing the results helped to define plans of future research, showing the need to get to know causes of work satisfaction, including specific conditions of the examined profession.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of studying value orientations, as well as moral and social rules that determine an individual’s position to reality, is one of the key ones in modern science. Personal value orientations are the most important characteristic of an individual, since they determine his/her relationships and interactions with the outside world and regulate behavior. Realizing their own value guidelines, individuals search for their places in the world and refl ect on the meaning and purpose of their lives. Values are universal for all people, but the degree to which they are preferred and prioritized depends on a particular culture and society. Values are stable beliefs that determine preferred modes of behavior and life goals, and form principles that guide actions in such areas as study, work, and family relationships. Value orientations are formed through interaction with the outside world and refl ect the degree of maturity of individuals and their value system.

Scientific schools shape the image of universities, while the activity of the scientific schools enables sustainable and dynamic development of the universities. This paper is devoted to the role of scientific schools in characterbuilding work in the context of leading aerospace engineering universities of Russia. The paper stresses the value of building the students’ character based on the example of the older senior counterparts capable of transferring their experience and teaching the cutting-edge methods of educational and scientific work. Among these methods, the paper highlights a historical approach in the description of the logic and evolution of design and manufacturing solutions and the method of size effect, allowing in-depth comprehension of the true scale and composition of complex aerospace equipment. Aerospace universities of Russia implement these methods with special study laboratories called demonstration halls. Having unique specimens of spacecrafts in these laboratories helps preserve the historical memory of the forefront research of Russian scientists and engineers. Practical classes in such laboratories are a fine example of transferring the scientific legacy and positively affecting the motivation for professional growth.

There are a growing number of counter-hegemonic Brazilian scientific productions. The gradual process of decolonization of Brazilian universities, a result of the struggle of social movements, has opened space for researchers to present alternatives for scientific production. In this paper we will work with the hypothesis that there is a significant number of Brazilian academic works that seek to detach themselves from hegemonic theories based on new alternatives of epistemologies, ontologies, and value systems. To support it, we point to ten works that use emerging epistemologies, ontologies, and value systems to formulate conceptions and theories about socially marginalized groups.

Munro, Eileen Margaret. "The role of scientific methods in social work." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 1992. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1166/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis discusses the widely held view in social work that practice should be based on intuitive and empathic understanding and that standard scientific procedures are inapplicable. I argue that this anti-science attitude is misguided and that social workers can and should use scientific methods to test theories and develop more effective ways of helping. There are practical and philosophical reasons for reexamining this dismissal of science. Social workers' statutory powers and duties have increased rapidly but there is also growing concern about their professional competence. Moreover developments in the philosophy of science challenge social workers' assumptions about science. The first two chapters discuss the importance of overcoming the hostility to science, examining social workers' duties, training, and practice methods. The first objection to science examined is the claim that science studies only observable behaviour not mental phenomena. I argue that this is based on a false idea of science and suggest instead that there is great similarity in the way scientists and social workers theorise. The next chapter discusses the claim that the scientific search for causal explanations conflicts with a belief in free will; I argue that in fact there is no conflict. The following chapter questions the reliability and scope of fieldworkers' intuitive and empathic judgements and sets out some reasons why they should be supplemented with scientific methods of testing. What counts as empirical evidence and how theories are appraised are the topics of the next two chapters. I argue that the traditional social work view of empiricism is unduly narrow and has hampered social work research. I also address the comparatively new objection to science in social work, namely the relativists' claim that science is not empirical and therefore should not be held up as a model to social workers. The final chapter considers how scientific methods can be incorporated into practice.

Pitts, Anton D. "Wildlife viewing and ecotourism : ethical, scientific, and value-based considerations." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/24649.
Full textAbstract:
Management of wildlife viewing tourism, possibly as a legacy of management of hunting and trapping activities, tends to see its ultimate goal largely in terms of the sustainable human use of wildlife resources. However, where the potential impacts of human activities are non-lethal, the focus on population dynamics may not adequately address relevant societal and ethical concerns. Additional concerns include protecting tourist safety, maintaining a pristine wilderness experience, habituation (either positive, allowing for easier viewing, or negative, reducing animals’ “wildness'”), stressing animals, and showing disrespect or a lack of courtesy.
Formal theories of animal and environmental ethics, while frequently conflicting and under-determinate in terms of specific prescriptions, provide a coherent basis and language for the discussion of each of these different concerns.
The values extant in society, as reflected in lay writing about wildlife tourism, show that there is societal support for a variety of goals that wildlife tourism management should address. These include population-level and individual-level consequences as well as non-consequentialist goals such as fostering respect for wildlife or avoiding a “trophy photograph” mentality.
Scientists attempting to assess the impacts of wildlife tourism use a variety of measures related to both individual and population responses. Especially when using individual-animal measures (behaviour, stress responses), scientists are rarely explicit about why these measures are important, relying instead on an implicit and uncertain link to population-level impacts. These measures, however, may be linked more directly to equally valid (from a management perspective) individual-level concerns.
Given the variety of goals that are ethically justified and societally supported, it is inappropriate to conceptualise management as a mere scientific problem. Instead, I use a decision-analysis framework to synthesize relevant contributions from the scientific, ethical, and social-values literatures, identify their respective contributions to the decision-making process, and conclude that while good indicators exist for most of the objectives identified, thresholds at which changes in the indicators call for management action remain to be established.

Friis, Anders. "An examination of the relationship between work value similarity, work value fulfilment, leader-member exchange quality and work outcomes." Thesis, Aston University, 2013. http://publications.aston.ac.uk/25549/.
Full textAbstract:
As existing research on leader-follower value similarity and leader-member exchange (LMX) has shown varying results, this thesis has set out to explore whether the relationship between work values, LMX and work outcomes could be examined using another approach. Building on person-environment fit and discrepancy theories of job satisfaction research, this thesis proposes that similarity between the leader’s and the follower’s work values (work value similarity) and the leader’s fulfilment of the follower’s work values (work value fulfilment) are positively related to LMX and work outcomes (follower’s satisfaction with the leader, job satisfaction, organisational commitment, task performance and organisational citizenship behaviour). Related to this, it is proposed that LMX plays a mediating role on the relationship between work value similarity and work outcomes, just as LMX is proposed to play a mediating role on the relationship between work value fulfilment and work outcomes. Furthermore, it is proposed that work value fulfilment compared to work value similarity is more strongly related to LMX. To test the hypothesised relationships, two studies were conducted at a consumer products manufacturer in the UK and Denmark. The first study is cross-sectional and consists of 167 followers from the UK. The second study is longitudinal and data for this study were collected in two waves with a five-month interval from followers and leaders in Denmark. At time 1, the longitudinal study had a sample of 468 followers, of which 206 were rated by their immediate manager. At time 2 the study had a sample of 316 followers, of which 140 were rated by their immediate manager. Work value similarity and work value fulfilment were measured using direct and indirect measures of congruence, and the thesis uses structural equation modelling, relative weight analysis, and polynomial regression analysis. Across the studies, the thesis has generally found support for the hypothesised relationships. Findings of the thesis show that work value similarity and work value fulfilment are positively related to LMX and work outcomes, and that LMX plays a mediating role on the relationship between work value similarity and work outcomes, just as LMX plays a mediating role on the relationship between work value fulfilment and work outcomes. Furthermore, findings show that work value fulfilment compared to work value similarity is more strongly related to LMX. Generally, the results have been found by using crosssectional and longitudinal data, single-source and multi-source data, direct and indirect measures of congruence, and by using different advanced approaches for studying congruence. The implications of these findings for theory and practice are discussed.

Koh, Chee Wee. "Work-Value Profile and Career Success." Scholar Commons, 2016. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6281.
Full textAbstract:
Work values, defined as the end states people desire and expect to realize through work, appear to play a role in career success, but the small number of past studies have reported conflicting results, some of which may be attributed to research methodology. Using a person-centered approach to model the conjoint effects of intrinsic and extrinsic work values, the present study inductively investigated the association between work-value profile and career success using a three-panel longitudinal dataset consisting of 905 lawyers from the After the Juris Doctorate (AJD) study. Latent profile analysis identified five work-value profiles: (i) Neither Intrinsic nor Extrinsic (NIE); (ii) Moderately Intrinsic and Extrinsic (MIE); (iii) Highly Intrinsic (HI); (iv) Highly Intrinsic, also Extrinsic (HI[E]); and (v) Highly Extrinsic, also Intrinsic (HE[I]). Measurement invariance was established across gender, but gender was an antecedent to profile assignment, with males being more likely to belong to the NIE, MIE, or HE[I] profiles compared to the HI profile. The work-value profile construct displayed intuitive and meaningful relationships with objective and subjective career success indicators over time. The results exposed the inadequacies of methods that examine the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic work values separately. The two sets of values appeared to interact in a non-linear fashion in their associations with career variables, such that modelling them simultaneously, but only linearly, might also be misleading. Contrary to claims made by studies based on the self-determination theory, the HI profile was not positively associated with subjective career success. Generally, the more successful lawyers from early to mid-career also tended to report high intrinsic and high extrinsic work values i.e., those with the HI[E] and HE[I] profiles; the former enjoyed higher subjective career success while the latter exhibited the highest objective career success. The absence of the highly extrinsic profile among this sample of lawyers reinforced past calls to restructure the transactional rewards systems in large law firms.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Although the literature on the valuation of ecosystem services is becoming substantial, with an increase in the number of scientific articles over the last thirty years, it still lacks a widely accepted methodology for mapping and measuring the value of ecosystem services that is suitable for defining a strategy for their spatial planning and management. Measuring the value of ecosystem services requires, in fact, the coordination of multiple, composite and, quite often, conflicting dimensions of value. It is an articulated process, as the valuation of each ecosystem service requires scientific expertise in different fields that must, however, interact with each other, as well as a wealth of data whose availability and accessibility varies in terms of accuracy, updating, size scale, etc. Moreover, while for the assessment of some ecosystem services, well-established methodologies are available, for others, assessment techniques are still being tested. This paper - which summarises part of the work carried out during the first year of the Pilot Project “Climate adaptation plans for the reduction of the ecological footprint and ecological debt aimed at improving the conservation” within the SPOKE 4 (executor) “Resilience and accessibility in the valorisation of local cultural and natural heritage” (for a Budget of PP 2.2 million Euro) of the TECH4YOU Research Project “Technologies for climate change adaptation and quality of life improvement”.

AbstractThis work is demonstrating the use of a supercomputer platform to optimise hyper-parameters of a proposed by the team novel SNN-ESN computational model, that combines a brain template of spiking neurons in a spiking neural network (SNN) for feature extraction and an Echo State Network (ESN) for dynamic data series classification. A case study problem and data are used to illustrate the functionalities of the SNN-ESN. The overall SNN-ESN classifier has several hyper-parameters that are subject to refinement, such as: spiking threshold, duration of the refractory period and STDP learning rate for the SNN part; reservoir size, spectral radius of the connectivity matrix and leaking rate for the ESN part. In order to find the optimal hyper-parameter values exhaustive search over all possible combinations within reasonable intervals was performed using supercomputer Avitohol. The resulted optimal parameters led to improved classification accuracy. This work demonstrates the importance of model parameter optimisation using a supercomputer platform, which improves the usability of the proposed SNN-ESN for real-time applications on complex spatio-temporal data.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractTo create the innovative solutions global health demands, we rely heavily on scientific knowledge, the scientific method to test hypotheses, and observable measurable data. However, we can also incorporate additional ways of knowing into our process, to fully honor and receive wisdom from all aspects of our humanity and to foster meaningful and impactful outcomes. We can learn to value our imagination and intuition as useful tools for innovative problem-solving. We can learn to honor ancestral viewpoints and incorporate learnings from the community, their experiences, and their land. We can learn to partner as people first, to manifest infinite possibilities of common ground and open ourselves to more connection points than scientific purpose alone. As we do this, we can become extremely fulfilled as we find deeper purpose in our work, our calling. Here, we offer ideas for global health practitioners and researchers to explore introspection to aid in deeper partnerships and engagement. First, we delve into deliberate introspection to foster greater awareness of our inner and outer landscapes. Second, we invite other ways of knowing to broaden our perspective and bring greater creativity to our global health research process. Third, we pause to consider the calling of a global health career. Finally, we approach ways to engage with others to heal collective trauma and to see ourselves as activists and healers in our capacity to build a more just, equitable and healthy world. Although it takes time to build relationships this way with oneself, our global health partners, and the work itself, this expansive way of working can be transformative. We invite you to acknowledge and honor all aspects of yourself and weave them into your global health work, partnerships, and vision.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractDeveloping experimentation competencies is enhanced through scientific discourse and feedback. Students who are able to give and receive feedback through authentic scientific discourse are better able to reason about their science, identify questions, to value collaboration, construct knowledge, and to gain intellectual confidence as practicing scientists. Although the ACE-Bio Competencies were not the driver for our work, they were an important lens and affirmation of our curriculum where students learn to reason scientifically and do biological experimentation through scientific discourse and feedback. In this chapter we discuss the value of feedback, how we scaffold opportunities to practice giving and receiving feedback into a multi-week experimentation curriculum, and some practical implementation strategies with particular focus on the influence of a feedback-rich curriculum for students’ achievement of experimentation competencies. We provide examples, evidence, and instructional materials that support student learning through feedback and discourse. We articulate implications that would be relevant to junior faculty new to teaching experimentation as well as long-time practitioners. Finally, we outline affordances and persistent challenges to this type of teaching and learning, especially important when making decisions with limited resources.

The reasons for the Academy’s refusal to publish this work are discussed. The main lexicographic features of the dictionary are analyzed, including those from the point of view of critical remarks put forward by academics. The conclusion is made about the practical orientation of the grammatical essay and lexicon, written from the point of view of a foreigner and for foreigners studying the Russian language, which is the undoubted value of the work of Giorgio Dandolo.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines transformations in the epistemic governance of higher education and research on education in Europe, and in how the production of scientific knowledge increasingly is constrained by utilitarian expectations and standards based on policymaking decisions. The chapter explains how new political technologies produce certain modes of representation, cognitive categories, and value judgments that support development of new forms of interaction between researchers, experts, and policymakers. By characterizing transformations of academic capitalism, the chapter examines how academics today are engaged in heterogeneous networks that legitimize new relationships and work conventions. The chapter draws on sociological and education theory in explaining these transformations’ consequences, not only on the generation of academic knowledge, but also on selves and identities within scientific communities. This epistemic governance undermines some moral components and leadership attitudes in an increasingly competitive and instrumental environment.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) and Qatar University (QU) are working to adopt short- and long-term plans to ensure leadership in teaching and learning, scientific research, and community service at regional and international levels. Modern technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI), play an important role in our lives, providing realistic opportunities to accelerate business implementation and improve the final value of work. AI plays a crucial role in taking education and research to the next level, transforming the way these organisations work and make decisions. AI can improve the traditional work of educational institutions and transform the understanding of their complexity. However, challenges remain in various aspects, whether related to the nature of our work or to the AI technologies themselves. This is still a great opportunity for every HEI. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the potential of AI to accelerate the implementation of the strategic plans of the two universities.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter looks at how deliberative consensus is often used to making evidence-based recommendations to guide professional practice and public policy. When used for such purposes, deliberative consensus involves considerations additional to what the scientific evidence shows, in particular, value judgements about various courses of action. The evidence-based medicine movement is examined as an influential example of the use of deliberative consensus to guide medical practice. However, consensus processes have also been used to develop guidelines and position statements on practice and policy in other areas, with the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change an important example.

The transition to the market economy and the recalibration of budgets, financial independency and the transfer of responsibility to the local level in the management of social work budgets have caused concerns for the rational spending of money intended for these activities. We are still very far from managing these budgets fairly and efficiently, but the direction is very clear: the money will be little and must be used efficiently. The health and economic crisis that followed should lead to efficiency in the first phase and then to effectiveness and sustainability in the second. This requires a series of abrupt changes, which are difficult to achieve, both due to factors internal and external to the institutions. Their organization, the very high level of bureaucracy, poor staff performance, corruption and political interference in the administration turned good intentions into bad habits and inefficiency. Social services lack the contents and strategies to achieve quality, the elements that determine whether a service is considered quality or not are missing. There are control institutions, but they are ineffective because they cannot enforce quality assurance. They don�t have tools and don�t understand how to get results. The aim of this paper is to explore the deficiencies in social care case management, highlighting how these issues diminish the effectiveness of services and the well-being of beneficiaries. To achieve the purpose of the article, three focus groups were conducted with social case managers. The research underscores the importance of high-quality case management, which encompasses timeliness, effectiveness, client-centeredness, safety, and equity. The study also examines the potential of Lean management principles to improve efficiency in social work by eliminating waste and focusing on value creation. The barriers that stand between case management service providers and their beneficiaries identified in this research cand by removed by setting quality targets, organizing employees according to modern human resources system models, and institutional reorganization. The control of the variation of the processes cannot be done with a management based on functions, where the decisions, approvals, allocation of resources �walk� from one department to another, reaching that in the end, the beneficiary receives mediocre solutions or solutions that cost a lot. The current yield is negative, the institutions consuming huge resources to obtain results without much value. Our approach may not bring about the immediate changes we desire in this field, but it lays the groundwork for viable long-term solutions that can enhance the quality of services and improve the performance of social welfare institutions in the future.

Full textAbstract:
In climate change, drought, and water scarcity, the natural functioning of river systems largely depends on the proper distribution of water resources. Accurate determination of hydrological characteristics is essential for the sustainable management of water resources and provides information on the status and potential of water systems. Water management must be implemented in such a way as to meet the needs of man and the economy. At the same time, measures are taken to protect the quantitative characteristics of the aquatic environment. This means that water consumption must not exceed a particular limit value of the river flow - the ecological river flow. The development set determines the hydrological characteristics according to the methodology developed for determining the environmental flow for Bulgarian conditions and comparing it with the value according to the current regulation. The results obtained make it possible to make adequate management decisions, guaranteeing the maintenance of sufficient water in rivers and water ecosystems. The current regulation uses average annual and minimum average monthly water quantities. In our presented Methodology, the estimates are based on average monthly values grouped by three types of water content. It is recommended to work with a hydrological approach and standard statistical methods for calculating ecological flow, which requires a minimum of hydro-ecological information and enables the development of a national strategy.

The aim of the project concerns the production, characterization and impact on consumers of biscuits with wholemeal flour and grated carrots. The innovative character results from the use of wholemeal flour, which, unlike white flour, retains the bran and wheat germ, making it richer in fiber, vitamins and minerals. This contributes to a lower glycemic index and a superior nutritional profile. Carrots provide moisture and natural sweetness and are also an important source of beta-carotene, fiber and other vitamins and by adding orange essence, the flavor of the biscuits is greatly enhanced, adding a dose of vitamin C, boosting the nutritional value of the biscuits. The carrot, wholemeal flour and orange essence biscuit is a tasty and healthy product that is also a child-friendly product. In the present work, the obtained biscuits were analyzed from physicochemical and sensory points of view. From the physicochemical point of view the moisture, mineral, fat, protein and finally the carbohydrate content and energy value were evaluated. From a sensory point of view, the external appearance, in cross-section, taste, odor and general acceptability were evaluated.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents research on the development of enrichment of polymetallic ores of the Elan deposit. The heterogeneity of textures, structures and material composition of the ores of the Elan deposit make it a difficult object for technological research. The research was focused on the development of waste-free enrichment technology; progressive stadial, collective and collectively selective flotation schemes with full water circulation, ensuring environmental protection, using both currently manufactured by industry and promising (methyl isobutyl carbinol) reagents. The work was carried out using a number of modern accurate and precision physico-chemical research methods and well-known enrichment methods. Mathematical methods are widely used. Based on the identified features, a technology for the enrichment of all types of Elan deposit�s ores has been developed and confirmed in experimental industrial conditions, providing the production of copper, lead, zinc, pyrite and fluorite concentrates with high extraction of the components of the same name and the integrated use of ore. The technological typification of ores was carried out and a method for classifying ore samples by technological properties for technological mapping of the deposit was developed. One of the methods of increasing the reliability of engineering and geological assessment of ore deposits in the subsurface is technological mapping of deposits. Reliability improvement is achieved mainly through a detailed study of all natural types and phases of ores extracted at the deposit; differentiated calculation of ore reserves by technological types; correction of recoverable value in the technical and economic assessment of proven reserves, taking into account different ore enrichment. The practical value of the work, expressed in the development of technology for the approval of stocks. The scientific value expressed in the development of a methodology for classifying ores based on multidimensional statistical analysis.

As part of the experimental studies carried out in the Department of Civil, Environmental Engineering and Architecture of the University of Cagliari, to identify the best techniques for recovering of combustible materials, contained in the waste resulting from the dismantling of the anodes of spent electrolytic cells used in the production of primary aluminium, to be concentrated by flotation, work was first carried out to reduce the size of the waste, in order to give it a particle size that would allow it to be fed to a flotation process and to improve the liberation degree of the carbon particles to be separated. Since the Bond�s work index is an important factor in the design of the comminution circuits, in order to evaluate the grindability characteristics of the aluminium smelter anode scrap and, consequently optimize the grinding step, we proceeded to determine its Bond Index using the standard method. Bond's work index represents the energy required to reduce one short ton (907 kg) of a solid from an infinite size to 100 microns. Bond's energy law uses this index to predict the energy required to reduce the solid's size, which is the sum of the energy used to fracture the material and energy losses, such as mechanical losses occurring in comminution equipment or energy lost in the form of heat generated by attrition. A value of 11.07 kWh/sht was obtained for the Wi. This value is characteristic of rocks of medium hardness in terms of resistance to comminution. The Bond index obtained is valid for an industrial wet grinding process using a ball mill operating in a closed circuit with a mechanical classifier and a circulating charge of 250%.

Full textAbstract:
This work investigates autism through a sociological lens, emphasizing the need to understand and embrace neurodiversity in contemporary society. Exploring microsociological theories, the study highlights the significant impact of daily interactions and stigmatization on individuals with autism, focusing on how these experiences shape social identity. The paper evaluates traditional approaches that interpret autism in terms of deficiencies, promoting a perspective that values the individual experiences of autistic people. Utilizing phenomenological methods, it proposes a reevaluation of the concepts of �normality� and �empathy,� aiming to facilitate a more inclusive society. The analysis of the literature reveals how sociology, through its epistemological tools, contributes essentially to understanding autism and pushes the boundaries of current knowledge. By integrating principles of symbolic interaction and solidarity, the study shows how sociological approaches can offer answers to interdisciplinary challenges and improve the day-to-day life experiences of people on the autism spectrum. In conclusion, the paper calls for deep reflection on how society can recognize and value differences, paving the way for authentic acceptance of human diversity.

Full textAbstract:
In today's European business reality, and within it in production processes, sustainability issues are becoming as crucial as economic aspects. An attempt to respond to these challenges is the Lean Green concept, which integrates financial and environmental aspects as equally important for building company value. The Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, particularly the goal of responsible consumption and production and climate action, are becoming key targets for corporate action. The aim of this article is to examine and verify the possibility of implementing the Lean Green concept in the mining industry as building sustainable development, especially in the part related to the environment. The reference point is the environmental criteria and targets set by European legislation. The article discusses the basic principles of Lean Manufacturing, the concept underlying these considerations, and presents the Lean Green concept in the light of sustainable development and key environmental objectives. The possibility of achieving environmental performance improvements in mining companies using Lean Green tools, methods and techniques is also presented. The key parameters by which the positive impact of the Lean Green concept on improving the environmental aspects of mining companies' operations can be determined are also collated. This work confirms the validity of the implementation work of the Lean Green concept in the mining industry, which by its very nature has a significant impact on the environment.

Full textAbstract:
The deep processing of lignocellulose feedstock (including waste from the woodworking industry, agriculture, and agro-industry) allowing the high-added value products to be obtained is one of the key scientific problems. Lignocellulose biomass is a potential feedstock for the production of heat, electricity, fuel, chemicals, and other bioderived products. The liquefaction is considered to be one of the most promising ways to convert lignocellulose biomass into liquid fuels. During the liquefaction, lignocellulose biomass can be efficiently converted into important base compounds, such as furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, levulinic acid and its esters, ?-pentylactone, alkyl glycosides, and phenols. The search of effective catalysts for liquefaction is the main task for the development of the technology for obtaining liquid fuels from biomass. In this work, the liquefaction of the wood waste in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst was studied. The novel Ni-containing catalyst supported on the natural carbonaceous material was used in this work. The influence of the reaction parameters on the biomass conversion, and product yield was estimated. The effect of the solvent, reaction temperature, hydrogen pressure, and preliminary treatment of biomass was analysed. It was shown that the developed catalyst allows the feedstock conversion to be about 90 wt. % for the non-hydrolysed sawdust. The preliminary hydrolysis of the feedstock increased the conversion up to 95 wt. %. The composition of the liquid products were presented by the products of the hydrolysis of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, as well as the polyols, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, aromatics, and cyclic compounds.

The Association of American Universities, the Association of Research Libraries, and the Association of University Presses have published a final report assessing the success of their five-year pilot project to encourage sustainable digital publication of and public access to scholarly books. The associations launched the Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem (TOME) project in 2018 to publish humanities and social science scholarship on the internet, where these peer-reviewed works can be fully integrated into the larger network of scholarly and scientific research. The project engaged a network of more than 60 university presses and ultimately produced more than 150 open-access scholarly works. The books cover a wide range of topics in many disciplines, including philosophy, history, political science, sociology, and gender and ethnic studies. The pilot was designed to last five years, and the sponsoring associations committed to assessing its value to its target audience at the end of that period. The report analyzes whether the community of authors, institutions, libraries, and presses that participated in the pilot found it helpful. Author Nancy Maron of BlueSky to BluePrint surveyed and interviewed authors and TOME contacts at participating institutions to assess how each benefited from the pilot—from increased global readership to stronger relationships among libraries, research deans, and faculty.

Langlais, Pierre-Carl. Research transparency. Comité pour la science ouverte, 2024. https://doi.org/10.52949/61.
Full textAbstract:
A 2016 survey by Nature showed that 70% of researchers have failed to reproduce an experiment by someone else. Half of the respondents have even failed to reproduce their own experiment. This is not a new phenomenon. In 1966, it was estimated that 73% of publications in psychology delivered invalid conclusions. Science historians have highlighted that even well-known experiments and scientific findings relied on inadequate demonstrations. The reproducibility crisis has drawn an unprecedented public attention to long-standing issues of data management, reporting and workflows that equally concern non-experimental disciplines. Verifiability and accessibility to primary sources and materials are fundamental issues for fields like history, the humanities or medicine. Disciplines involved with policy regulations and social debates may require some form of “value transparency” to help contextualize the research. The lack of transparency of the editorial and curation process in scholarly publication negatively affects the other forms of research transparency as it creates a large range of problematic incentives. Open science has recently become the leading framework for implementing good practices, and norms of research transparency. Community initiatives like the TOP Guidelines (2014) aim to integrate transparency standards at all the stages of the research lifecycle. Major reforms include the generalization of data sharing, the implementation of extended citation standards, the pre-registration of studies and analysis plan and the development of open editorial policies. On a broader scale, the development of open science infrastructures have contributed to relieve individual researchers from some key tasks of data maintenance. Common and interoperable infrastructures ensure that transparency is not only a scientific value but a concrete ethical framework embedded in the daily work of research.

The importance of our research is due to the need to introduce into modern biological education methods of predictive modeling which are based on relevant factual material. Such an actual material may be the entry of natural and anthropic heavy metals into the soil at industrial areas. The object of this work: (i) to work out a predictive model of the total heavy metals inputs to soil at the Kryvyi Rih ore-mining & metallurgical District and (ii) to identify ways to use this model in biological education. Our study areas are located in the Kryvyi Rih District (Dnipropetrovsk region, Central Ukraine). In this work, classical scientific methods (such as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, analogy and formalization, abstraction and concretization, classification and modelling) were used. By summary the own research results and available scientific publications, the heavy metals total inputs to soils at Kryvyi Rih District was predicted. It is suggested that the current heavy metals content in soils of this region due to 1) natural and 2) anthropogenic flows, which are segmented into global and local levels. Predictive calculations show that heavy metals inputs to the soil of this region have the following values (mg ⋅ m2/year): Fe – 800-80 000, Mn – 125-520, Zn – 75-360, Ni – 20-30, Cu – 15-50, Pb – 7.5-120, Cd – 0.30-0.70. It is established that anthropogenic flows predominate in Fe and Pb inputs (60-99 %), natural flows predominate in Ni and Cd inputs (55-95 %). While, for Mn, Zn, and Cu inputs the alternate dominance of natural and anthropogenic flows are characterized. It is shown that the predictive model development for heavy metals inputs to soils of the industrial region can be used for efficient biological education (for example in bachelors of biologists training, discipline "Computer modelling in biology").

Melnyk, Olesia. MEDIA DISCOURSE AROUND THE FIGURE OF ORIANA FALLACHI AND HER JOURNALISM DURING 2017–2020. Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.30970/vjo.2021.50.11114.
Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the media discourse around the figure of Oriana Fallachi and her journalistic work during 2017-2020. The actual media image of the figure of Fallachi is highlighted, examples of positive and negative statements are given. It is substantiated why her journalism should be researched in various ways, taking into account other aspects of her work that are not related to Islamophobia. The subject of the study is critical texts in modern foreign media dedicated to the author’s work. The objective of the study is to outline the media discourse around the figure of Oriana Fallaci and her journalism during 2017-2020. The methodology. The following methods have been used in the process of scientific research: historical, comparative, systems analysis, content synthesis, and others. The main results. In total, we have analyzed eight materials in foreign publications, published over the past 3 years, as well as the two most famous biographies of Oriana Fallaci. Some of the most recent reviewed texts have been published in the last few months, reflecting the interest in the author’s journalism, her writing, and reporting. Therefore, we see the need for further tracking and analysis of this body of texts. Conclusions. Critics of Fallaci express polar views that are not all negative. Authors recommend quite cautiously her texts for reading, emphasizing their positive aspects. Both Fallaci’s biographies are also not entirely complementary: some aspects of her work are glorified, others are condemned. We managed to find general tendencies in the criticism of Oriana Fallaci’s journalism. These include accusations of xenophobia and Islamophobia, uncompromisingness, lack of political correctness, and moral value. The authors emphasize, at the same time, the openness and directness that bribe the reader, patriotism and honesty, strength of spirit and firmness of position. Significance of the research. The analysis of the latest criticism reveals what kind of media image Fallachi’s figure has today, and gives the possibility to research it for demonization and one-sided coverage. This is important not only for thorough research of the author’s work but also for understanding how the modern world perceives journalism, which is contrary to the generally accepted principles of political correctness, journalistic ethics, and humanity.

Full textAbstract:
Target. Currently, the development of professional values and official behavior of civil servants are relevant for training personnel for the public authority system. One of the ways to form the personality of a civil servant who is a professional is to increase the real level of his social responsibility. The article is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of social responsibility of civil servants. Method or methodology of the work. The systematic, activity-based and axiological approaches were used as methodological principles in the work. The research methods were analysis and synthesis, movement from the general to the particular, comparison and analogy, movement from the abstract to the concrete, complex generalization and classification. Results. The main results of the study include the concretization of the concept of «social responsibility of civil servants», the identification of the essential properties of social responsibility, the determination of the features of its functioning, the formulation of urgent problems for further research in this aspect. Scope of the results. The scientific results of the article can be applied when conducting psychological and pedagogical research and organizing classes in educational institutions of higher education.

Full textAbstract:
The UK has a legal commitment to reach net zero carbon (NZC) emissions by 2050. This is a topic that has recently been building momentum, with clean growth being one of the four Grand Challenges set out by the UK Government. The ways we grow, process and transport food are major contributors to climate change, accounting for more than a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing this will require substantial changes in agriculture, manufacturing, and transport. Consequently, the Science Council and FSA Chief Scientific Adviser (CSA) agreed that a deeper understanding of the potential implications of achieving net zero on food systems, together with identification of areas of uncertainty, would be of considerable value to FSA in pre-empting future policy and evidence needs in this area. In early discussions to scope the work required, Defra indicated to the FSA Science Council Secretariat that there are many new developments and changes to activity in primary production aimed at achieving net zero. The Science Council agreed, therefore, to concentrate its first investigations on changes expected in primary food production. Primary production is the production of chemical energy in organic forms by living organisms. The main source of this energy is sunlight. For the purposes of this review, primary food production includes the growing and harvesting of plants as food for humans or feed for animals, and the rearing and slaughter of animals including livestock, fish and a wide variety of aquatic and marine organisms. A Science Council Working Group 6 (WG6) began work in summer 2021, led by Science Council members Mrs Claire Nicholson (WG6 Chair) and Prof Jonathan Wastling (WG6 Deputy Chair). The brief for WG6 is to investigate the potential food safety implications arising from changes to primary food production practices and technologies that reduce carbon emissions in the next 10 years. The work programme (described in this report) covers 4 phases, with phases 1 and 2 now complete. The work so far has drawn diverse, wide-ranging, sometimes slightly conflicting, views and opinions from across academia, the FSA, Defra, industry bodies and individual food producers. This interim report summarises: The work undertaken to date (phases 1 and 2) What has been learnt including changes to practice already underway or imminent Issues arising from the changes that the FSA should be aware of Further work planned by WG6 to understand the nature of the risks in more depth (phases 3 and 4) The Science Council aims to complete its investigations by the end of 2022 and present its findings to the FSA Board as soon as possible afterwards.
