Color in the Art-Productive Activity of Preschool Children
No full textThe article analyzes the theoretical aspects of the formation of ideas about colors in children from 1 to 7 years old. It was found that color is an important means of expressiveness in artistic activity, a way of organizing the aesthetics of life, self-expression. The issue of children's attitude to colors and their use in their own artistic and productive activities is highlighted. The study carried out a definitional analysis of the main concepts of the study: "color", "artistic and productive activity". The works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists dealing with the investigated problem are considered. The peculiarities of the use of color by children of older preschool age in artistic and productive activities were clarified, the influence of gender stereotypes on the perception and use of colors by children was confirmed. The influence of various motives on the artistic and productive activity of children and their relationship with the use of colors in creative activity are considered. It was found that children choose the color of materials for making products according to their own preferences, but the purpose of the product is a significant factor influencing their choice. Experimental research proves: children are ready to give in to their own desires and tastes are not based on their own preferences, but on the tastes of the recipient of the gift, so it allows us to note the influence of moral motives. The structure of artistic and productive activity of children of older preschool age is singled out. The conclusions of scientists regarding the perception of colors by older preschool children in modern practice have been confirmed.У статті проаналізовано теоретичні аспекти формування уявлень про кольори у дітей від 1 до 7 років. З’ясовано, що колір є важливим засобом виразності у мистецькій діяльності, способом організації естетики побуту, самовираження. Висвітлено питання ставлення дітей до кольорів і їх використанні у власній художньо-продуктивній діяльності. У дослідженні здійснено аналіз основних понять дослідження: «колір», «художньо-продуктивна діяльність». Розглянуто праці українських і зарубіжних учених, що займались досліджуваною проблемою. З’ясовано особливості використання у кольору дітьми старшого дошкільного віку художньо-продуктивній діяльності, підтверджено вплив гендерних стереотипів на сприймання і використання кольорів дітьми. Розглянуто вплив різних мотивів на художньо-продуктивну діяльність дітей та їх взаємозв’язок з використанням кольорів у творчій діяльності. З’ясовано, що колір матеріалів для виготовлення виробів діти обирають відповідно власних вподобань, проте суттєвим чинником, що впливає на їх вибір є призначення виробу. Експериментальне дослідження засвідчує: діти беруть до уваги інтереси інших і готові поступитися власними бажаннями та смаками орієнтуються не на власні вподобання, а на смаки отримувача подарунка, отже дозволяє зазначити про вплив моральних мотивів. Виокремлено структуру художньо-продуктивної діяльності дітей старшого дошкільного віку. Підтверджено висновки науковців щодо сприйняття дітьми старшого дошкільного віку кольорів у сучасній практиці
Opacity in Tundra Nenets
No full textThe analysis of opaque relations presents a problem to classic Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993, McCarthy and Prince 1993), inherently a surface-oriented theory. Many different proposals have been made to integrate the analysis of opacity into OT. In this paper, we address the problem of opacity in Tundra Nenets (TN), a Uralic (Samoyedic) language spoken in Arctic Russia and Northern Siberia.
TN has a complex system of alternations, many of which interact opaquely, and provides a good test case for the current theories of opacity. In this paper, we are concerned with the categorical metrical vowel deletion that represents a case of self-counterfeeding opacity, and its interaction with vowel deletion in final syllables. We show that among OT approaches to opacity, there are some that cannot handle metrical vowel deletion in TN in principle (Targeted Constraints, OT-CC), some that can but are undesirable on theoretical grounds (Local Constraint Conjunction, in particular, self-conjunction), and the full analysis of the data still requires combining two different theories (Stratal OT and Comparative Markedness).Kavitskaya, D., Staroverov P.

Class struggle in “Aag ka Darya”
No full textIn Urdu, “Aag ka Darya” written by Quratul ain Haider is a novel with a unique structure, the story of which begins two and a half thousand years ago and ends in the middle of the twentieth century ... but with the impression that like the waves of a flowing river, this story will continue to flow. ... Perhaps forever ... And after the complete end of the universe, if the earth and the sky are reborn, this story will also begin again This story can be divided into four periods: the first period belongs to the time of Chandragupta Maurya (four hundred years BC). The second period begins with the end of the Lodhi Empire and the arrival of the Mughals, while the third period belongs to the time of the East India Company. The fourth and final period of the novel begins around 1930 and continues until 1950. The first three periods are related to the theory of civilization and historical foundations of the author. The importance of this theoretical part is in its place, but the last and fourth period of the book is a complete novel in itself, which examines the lives of the characters in the light of the political and social movements that emerged in the first half of the twentieth century, bringing us to the stage of the Partition of India (1947). In this novel, different civilizations are interconnected. This article has been written in this context.

A relatively sharp lithological change at 0.86 m depth reflects a shift from detrital silts to carbonates-rich fine silts. From this depth upwards, a Holocene chronology is built based on ten radiocarbon dates on ostracod shells and bulk carbonates. From the vegetation point of view, the Late Pleistocene deserts and steppes were partially replaced in the most sheltered areas by an open woodland with Pinus, Juniperus-Hippophae-Elaeagnus and even Alnus-Quercus-Pterocarya and Fraxinus, related to the Allerød palynozone. This was interrupted by the Younger Dryas palynozone when Artemisia reaches a maximum in a first instance followed by a very dry phase with only a slight return of Pinus and Quercus and the rare presence of Ulmus-Zelkova. From 11.5 to 8.4 cal. ka BP, an open landscape dominated by shrubs such as Ephedra and progressively increasing Quercus appeared. The final spread of diverse evergreen and deciduous trees is delayed and occurs after 8.4 cal. ka BP. It is suggested that this delay is caused by an arid climate in the Early Holocene linked to high insolation and perhaps to a lake effect. The dinocyst assemblages fluctuate between slightly brackish (Pyxidinopsis psilata and Spiniferites cruciformis, 7 psu and lower) and more brackish (Impagidinium caspienense, ∼13 psu). In the Lateglacial (Khvalynian highstand), the assemblages remained dominated by relative low salinity taxa. A late and brief increase of salinity occurred prior to 11.2 cal. ka BP associated with the Mangyshlak lowstand. It is suggested that it was caused by a brief drop in meltwater flow from both the north and the southeast (Uzboy) and a likely evaporation increase. This lowstand occurs quasi at the same time as the end of a longer lowstand in the Black Sea. The freshest waters are then inferred as having occurred between 8.4 and ≤4.4 cal. ka BP, linked to a connection with the Amu Darya and the melting glaciers on the Pamir Mountains. The Caspian Sea is a sensitive environment, easily perturbed by global climatic changes, such as the Allerød and Holocene warming, and the Lateglacial and Younger Dryas cooling, as well as by regional changes in its hydrography, such as shifts in the Eurasian meltwater and the Volga and Amu Darya inflows.Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Franc

Design and control of a self-sensing piezoelectric reticle assist device
No full textThesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2013.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 233-239).This thesis presents the design and control techniques of a device for managing the inertial loads on photoreticle of lithography scanners. Reticle slip, resulting from large inertial loads, is a factor limiting the throughput and accuracy of the lithography scanners. Our reticle-assist device completely eliminates reticle slip by carrying 96% of the inertial loads. The primary contributions of this thesis include the design and implementation of a practical high-force density reticle assist device, the development of a novel charge-controlled power amplifier with DC hysteresis compensation, and the development of a sensorless control method. A lithography scanner exposes a wafer by sweeping a slit of light passing through a reticle. The scanner controls the motion of the reticle and the wafer. The reticle-stage moves the photoreticle. To avoid deforming the reticle, it is held using a vacuum clamp. Each line scan consists of acceleration at the ends of the line and a constant-speed motion in the middle of the line, where exposure occurs. If the reticle's inertial force approaches or exceeds the clamp's limit, nanometer-level pre-sliding slip or sliding slip will occur. The assist device carries the inertial load by exerting a feedforward force on the reticle's edge. The device retracts back during the sensitive exposure interval to avoid disturbing the reticle. The reticle is at the heart of the scanner, where disturbances directly affect the printing accuracy. Our reticle assist device consists of an approach mechanism and a piezoelectric stack actuator. The approach mechanism positions the actuator 1-m from the reticle edge. The actuator, with 15-[mu]m range, extends to push on the reticle. We have developed control techniques to enable high-precision high-bandwidth force compensation without using any sensors. We have also developed a novel charge-controlled amplifier with a more robust feedback circuit and a method for hysteresis compensation at DC. These technologies were key to achieving high-bandwidth high-precision sensorless force control. When tested with a trapezoidal force profile with 6400 N/s rate and 60 N peak force, the device canceled 96% of the inertial force.by Darya Amin-Shahidi.Ph.D
