“Post-Non-Classical” or “Post-Neoclassical” Epistemology?

The article examines the theoretical, conceptual and methodological relations between scientific rationality, epistemological concepts and types of epistemology. Several relevant philosophical aspects of classifying epistemology into classical, non-classical and post-non-classical types are analysed. It was highlighted that at the current juncture, there are conceptual approaches to the elements above of scientific knowledge acquisition, justification, rationality, knowledge application, and the criteria for its authenticity. In this context, philosophers argue for developing new epistemological frameworks to facilitate an adequate philosophical comprehension of contemporary scientific knowledge. A variety of ideas have been proposed. In addition, there is a need to clarify terminology.Furthermore, philosophers are engaged in a debate regarding the most appropriate terminology to describe modern epistemology. One such debate concerns the merits of designating modern epistemology as "post-non-classical" or "post-neoclassical" about science. The article demonstrates that in addition to these, the norms, rules, boundaries of scientific understanding, the strategy and methodology of scientific activity, the rationality of scientific knowledge, its justification, the criteria of scientific truth and their search logic have been renewed. Researchers have finally designated this innovation as a post-non-classical (or post-neoclassical) type of scientific understanding. The article analysed whether modern epistemology is correctly described as "post-non-classical" or "post-neoclassical" from a philosophical perspective. The methodological principles of systematicity, non-linearity, intersubjectivity and synergetic formation were selected for the interdisciplinary approach. System analysis and dynamic integration are employed as methodologies. The scientific novelty is that the modern epistemological situation can be described as either "post-non-classical" or "post-neoclassical," which is related to how scientific understanding has evolved historically. In this context, the distinction between the terms is not a matter of differing interpretations of the underlying processes. This represents a distinct articulation of analogous concepts

The Concept of "Multi-knowledge" in the Digital Stage: an Epistemological Analysis

In the article, through the prism of the interdisciplinary methodological approach, the content of knowledge in digital culture conditions and the epistemological peculiarities of the formation of new knowledge are investigated. For this purpose, knowledge is viewed as the result of intellectual activity in the cognitive-social-cultural environment.The article shows that knowledge is transforming into "multi-knowledge" at the modern stage. It can be conceived as a processual gestalt with a multifractal character. Multifractality is used because the viewed object consists of a synthesis of different fractals (self-similarities). Therefore, this article considers knowledge a multifractal system (or network) of "fractal sub-knowledge". In that context, processual gestalt means that this multifractal system (or network) transforms from one phase to another, not fragmentarily, but entirely and whole. On this basis, the new multi-knowledge results from the creative transformation of the existing multi-knowledge as a multifractal unit due to the gestalt process.The following methodological principles are applied in the article: non-linearity, intersubjectivity, emergent interface, and multifractality. It is accepted that there is a close relationship between them.Applying synergistic synthesis and comparative analysis methods within the logical framework of this methodological approach allowed us to obtain concrete results

Hypertension in postmenopausal Indonesian Women: fluctuating Body Mass Index as a potential predictor of decreasing blood pressure

Background: The burden of Hypertension (HT) [P1][YT2] in Indonesian postmenopausal women has increased over the past years. Obesity is the most prevalent risk of HT among postmenopausal women. Objective: This study evaluates the relationship of fluctuating BMI with BP in postmenopausal women in Bogor, Indonesia. Methods: This longitudinal study acquired secondary data from a previous study of the “Cohort Study of NCD’ Risk Factors” along with a two-year follow-up. Data were analyzed from a total of 888 postmenopausal women aged ≥ 25 years[P3][wr4]. BMI and BP fluctuations were calculated from baseline BMI at the first visit (T1) until the observation period (T7). The significance of panel analysis at p value < 0.05.[P5][wr6] Results: The fixed-effect model showed a significant correlation between BMI changes with the changes in SBP and DBP and fluctuating BMI with SBP. After adjustment for physical activity, 1 kg of weight gain will increase SBP and DBP in normotensive, controlled, and uncontrolled hypertensive individuals. After adjusting for smoking, BMI reduction by 1% would lower the SBP as much as 2-3 mmHg compared to a stable BMI. Conclusions: Fluctuating BMI was a predictor in decreasing BP in postmenopausal women, so it could be used to control HT. Keywords: Fluctuating; BMI; BP; Postmenopausal; Indonesia

The Role Of Valwes In Forming The Identity of Migrants

On the leading role of values for the development of identity and ensuring the effective adaptation of migrants to the new ethnocultural environment, during the research process, we set the task to identify the values of migrants living in Azerbaijan. At the same time, such factors as the length of residence in the country and the age of the respondents were taken into account. The study involved 235 migrants, of whom 98 are Koreans and 137 Turks, who have been living in Azerbaijan for at least five years, aged 18-40. There are 55 women among Koreans, 43 men, 87 men and 50 women among Turks. The results of our study showed that the lower the level of national identity, the greater the opportunity for migrants to choose a marginal adaptation strategy. This behavior strategy leads to dissatisfaction, social and psychological safety of the migrant. Having lost the values of their culture, the migrant loses an adequate standard “image of the world”, which underlies the adaptation of the individual to the social environment. This means that the individual lacks values, patterns of adequate behavior, he has lost the significance of his culture, and therefore cannot adequately assess and accept the values of the host culture. Research has shown that a high level of indicators on such scales as the scale of interactivity (19%) and the scale of adaptation (18%) indicates that respondents feel confident enough in the new environment, are open to cooperation and are focused on self-realization, which gives them a sense of social and physical security. This situation, naturally, lowers the indicator on the scale of depression, which indicates the absence of serious emotional problems

Students’values and their Mental Health During Pandemic

Values are widely studied concept by many researchers  trying to explore how basic values influence the way individuals think, feel and behave (Durkheim, 1964; Weber, 1958; Hitlin & Piliavin, 2004; Rohan, 2000; Schwartz, 1992; Smith & Schwartz, 1997; Schwartz, 2006; Williams, 1968). Values are playing crucial role in the formation of individuals’ personality and this influence can be better explained by the components of these values which consist of how student perceive the reality, what they know, how they feel and the way they react to various situations.  Taken together these components help to form certain attitudes toward different objects, other people and situations and serve as a basis for students’ motivation. Therefore, by influencing the attitudes and motivations of individuals values are having various consequences. The current study attempted to understand some of the psychological consequences of values on students’ mental health.  The results of the study show that there are value differences for male and female students. In addition, the degree of anxiety and depression was assessed, and statistical analysis of the data shows that females are more anxious (F=0.24, p < 0.001) and depressed F=8.04 (p< 0.001) compared to male students and these differences were found to be statistically significant.Conformity, tradition, universalism, and power values were greater for females compared to males and these differences were statistically significant. Self-direction value was found to be more important to male students compared to female students and the difference was statistically significant. These findings lead to the conclusion that values that are having greater importance for females could be one of the factors contributing to their level of anxiety and depression while values being important for male students could be the factor helping them to cope with stressful situations. The development of further research would be suggested to explore the contribution of certain values to the level of anxiety and depression for students with more diverse and large sample

Hadoop Performance Analysis on Raspberry Pi for DNA Sequence Alignment

The rapid development of electronic data has brought two major challenges, namely, how to store big data and how to process it. Two main problems in processing big data are the high cost and the computational power. Hadoop, one of the open source frameworks for processing big data, uses distributed computational model designed to be able to run on commodity hardware. The aim of this research is to analyze Hadoop cluster on Raspberry Pi as a commodity hardware for DNA sequence alignment. Six B Model Raspberry Pi and a Biodoop library were used in this research for DNA sequence alignment. The length of the DNA used in this research is between 5,639 bp and 13,271 bp. The results showed that the Hadoop cluster was running on the Raspberry Pi with average usage of processor 73.08%, 334.69 MB of memory and 19.89 minutes of job time completion. The distribution of Hadoop data file blocks was found to reduce processor usage as much as 24.14% and memory usage as much as 8.49%. However this increased job processing time as much as 31.53%

Remember Me Film Festival : An Education Efforts to Increase Dementia Awareness in Young Generations

The role of film as one of the effective educational media is fundamental, especially in promoting awareness of the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. In Indonesia, there have not been many productions that specifically aim to escalate knowledge and awareness of Alzheimer's disease. The purpose of this activity was to increase public awareness of dementia and Alzheimer's, promote prevention and dementia risk reduction, produce short films on dementia and Alzheimer's with Indonesian cultural background as well as encouraging people toward elderly-friendly behavior. The event was held as a collaboration between FKIK Unika Atma Jaya, Alzheimer's Indonesia, and Eagle Institute titled Remember Me Film Festival (RMFF). In disseminating the information, The RMFF activities were publicized via YouTube and mass media. The aims of this study was to discuss the Remember Me Film Festival (RMFF) meetings as part of the tridharma institutions (community service), evaluation of benefits to the community, and qualitative assessment of the contents of dementia research for viewers on social media (YouTube) at three time points of observation (1 year after being downloaded on YouTube). The results of RMFF revealed that for each point of observation there was an increase in the number of views from September 2017 to October 2018. The RMFF activity can thus be employed as a model of increasing health promotion using digital/online platform for the younger generation

Pengaruh lama dan suhu pemanasan serta pengecilan ukuran terhadap mutu puree pisang talas (Musa paradisiacal var sapientum L.)

The talas banana is the superior local fruit of South Kalimantan. Talas bananas are still utilized in a few of applications and are mostly consumed fresh. Talas bananas have a particular aroma that no other banana has. This study aimed to analyze the effect of heating time, temperature, and size reduction on talas banana puree's sensory and chemical quality. The heating temperatures used were 70, 90, and 121oC. The heating time for 70 and 90oC was 15, 20, and 25 minutes, while for 121oC was 2, 4, and 6 minutes. The effect of size reduction was coarse texture (30 seconds) and fine texture (1 minute). Talas banana puree was analyzed by scoring test (color, texture, aroma, and taste) and chemical test (moisture content, pH, total dissolved solids, total titrated acid, reducing sugar content, and protein content). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with a nested factorial randomized block design at temperature with a further test was Duncan's test with α=5%. Sensory quality data were analyzed by the Kruskal Wallis test at α=5%, followed by the Tukey test at α= 5%. Talas banana puree is light yellow, close to the soft, banana aroma, and sweet taste. The best results for talas banana puree were obtained at 70oC with a 15-minute heating time and a 1-minute size reduction, 90oC with a 15-minute heating time and a 1-minute size reduction, and 121oC with a 6-minute heating time and a 1-minute size reduction
