MOTIVATIONAL COMPONENT OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE DEVELOPMENT IN HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS
Authors: MELNYK Anton
Published: November 2022

Introduction. The success of any organization depends on the level of its organizational culture. Healthcare institutions are no exception, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizational culture is influenced by many factors, but one of the most important components in the development of organizational culture is the staff motivation.
The purpose of the research is to analyze the relationship between the level of staff motivation and organizational culture of healthcare institutions.
Results. Healthcare institutions in Ukraine have specific features in the structure of their staff. The formation of staff is regulated at the legislative level. It was found out that the studied healthcare institutions have different structure by category, age and work experience. It is proved that the development of organizational culture depends on the level of staff motivation. The level of staff motivation in some healthcare institutions in Kharkiv has been determined. Based on the proposed approach, the level of staff motivation can be high, sufficient and low. Providing survey, the main motivators and demotivators in the work of the staff are formed. It was outlined that the main motivator is material reward. It includes salaries, regular bonuses, gifts, etc. The intangible aspects of motivation consist of good working conditions, the presence of a social package, a normal work / home ratio, respect and trust in the team, gratitude and fairness of the leader. Among the demotivators, unsatisfactory wages, unsatisfactory working conditions and a negative climate in the team were noted. For developing the organizational culture, healthcare institution should improve the motivation system based on the main motivators and by eliminating the negative influence of the demotivators.
Conclusions. Many factors influence the development of the organizational culture of healthcare institutions. Among them, staff motivation plays a significant role. Motivational measures should be based on certain motivators and demotivators of the staff of a particular healthcare institution.
Keywords: motivation, development of organizational culture, motivators, demotivators, level of motivation, healthcare institution.

Published: November 2022

The unreliability of the energy system to provide a proper account of energy utilized by consumers has been a huge burden on the distribution system network. Different metering methods and designs to detect and prevent fraud, employed in the past have proven fruitless, thus signalling the need for a much smarter energy metering system. The most frequent problem is electricity larceny, this has incurred a major economic loss in the energy distribution system. To this end, this paper presents the distinctive design and hybrid simulation of a larceny deterrent energy evaluation system, capable of detecting different methods of energy theft within power consumer premises. The method employed comprises of deep understudy of previous work in this field, a model is proposed and is simulated under good working conditions and several theft situations using MATLAB while the hardware is simulated using Proteus 8.1 and Arduino software. In conclusion, the efficiency of the proposed system is evaluated by employing different electric theft algorithms, with the results indicating significant energy cost savings in the distribution network.

Authors: Aigboje E. O. , Odiamenhi A. M.
Published: November 2022

This paper deals with the design and fabrication of a centrifugal blower. A backwards-curved blower was employed in the study, because the backwards-inclined blower is highly efficient, operates at approximately twice the speed of a forward-curved air blower, and is suitable for high-state pressure applications. The design consideration and analysis concerned within this study is for a single-stage centrifugal blower with capacity, Q (0.317m3/min) at a pressure, P (10,000Pa), head, H (61.87m), and shaft speed, N (1450rpm). The lowest air volumetric rate of 0.073 m3s-1 was obtained at closing the inlet (85%), the impeller speed (400rpm), and the air volumetric rate (0m3s-1) at closing the inlet (100%) for all the impeller speeds. The highest air volumetric (0.379m3s-1) was obtained at closing the inlet (0%) and impeller speed (960rpm). The impeller speed of 400rpm with a static pressure value of 47.03Pa, can be computed as the pressure value at 960rpm (i.e., 40.07Pa), indicating a 17% deviation (difference of 6.96 Pa). The highest total efficiency achieved is on closing the inlet of 50% and the impeller speed of 960rpm was attained at about 9.93%, whereas the lowest total efficiency on all the impeller speeds is achieved at the closing inlet of 0%. The result shows that the centrifugal blower was efficient over a wide range of flows. The blower provides a small unit of footprints with a good turn-down capacity.

Introduction: CRT in Higher Education: Confronting the “Boogeyman” Bans, Censorship, and Attacks on Racial Justice
Authors: Jayakumar Uma Mazyck
Published: November 2022

It took only a year after 2020’s racial justice uprisings for legislatures in half the states to attempt to ban teaching about systemic racism in US public schools, colleges, and universities. The boilerplate legislation disallows the teaching of “divisive concepts,”
including the reality that systemic racism benefits white people. In what Patricia Williams calls “definitional theft,”1 architects of this conservative backlash appropriated “Critical Race Theory” as a catch-all label for those “divisive” concepts2
– even though, as many scholars and journalists attempted to publicly clarify, Critical Race Theory is a specific field of legal scholarship rarely taught in college, let alone elementary and secondary schools. As one of the founders of CRT, Kimberlé Crenshaw, proclaimed: “This
is basically an effort to create a boogeyman and pour everything into that category that they believe will prompt fear, discomfort and repudiation on the part of parents and voters who are primed to respond to this hysteria that they’re trying to create.”3 The “definitional
theft” isn’t even a secret strategy. One architect of the backlash, Christopher Rufo, announced it proudly in a public Twitter post: “We have successfully frozen their brand – ‘critical race theory’ – into the public conversation and are steadily driving
up negative perceptions.”4
ANALYZING PHILIP K. DICK’S “DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?” TRANSLATION INTO RUSSIAN: TRANSLATION OF NON-EQUIVALENT LEXIS
Authors:   Samara State Technical University, Zhuravlev A.P.
Published: November 2022

This paper is devoted to evaluation of the translation of the well-known novel called “Do androids dream of electric sheep?” written by the American science fiction writer Philip K. Dick. The original text is compared with its Russian translation made in the early 1990’s (assumingly by the group of translators). Due to these factors, as well as a number of other issues, the translation has several characteristic features; the reasons for these features to occur may be of particular interest both for professional translators and amateurs. Evaluation is carried out according to a number of aspects, and the present paper focuses on the first one of them, namely on how well the translator coped with the task of translating the non-equivalent lexis. The author of the paper explains what he means by the non-equivalent lexis in this particular research and analyzes the number of words and word combinations to find out whether their translation is adequate to what the author of the novel tried to express or not. The results obtained in this research can be used later to form the total characteristic of the job done by the translator.

Authors:   Samara State Transport University, Chernitsyna R.N.
Published: November 2022

The article discusses one of the ways of organizing self-educational activities of students (SDS) when studying mathematics at a technical university. In the context of the transition to state standards of a new generation, the problem of the organization of SODS is particularly important, since its volume should be at least half of the total number of hours provided for the study of the discipline. In this paper, a matrix model of the organization of students' self-educational activities is used, which provides the organization of disciplinary modules and the systematization of educational tasks at four levels of complexity. Cognitive levels are highlighted: perception, comprehension, algorithmization and control, which represent one of the possible structures of the cognitive process. Combining the levels of cognitive process and self-educational activity made it possible to obtain a matrix model of the organization of the SODS, which was applied to the study of mathematics by students of the construction and economics faculties of Samara State University of Railways, which made it possible to guarantee their assimilation of educational material with a quality not lower than basic. An example of a test task of the second level of complexity is given, which allows students to self-test their knowledge and assess the level of assimilation of educational information, while acquiring self-education and self-assessment skills.

TO THE CONCEPT OF CULTURAL-PHILOSOPHICAL INTERPRETATION OF A LITERARY-ARTISTIC WORK
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Makarchuk I.Yu.
Published: November 2022

The article presents a research strategy, according to which the author consistently considers such concepts as "hermeneutics", "understanding", "meaning", "text of a literary and artistic work", "philosophical interpretation", and then, on the basis of the above approaches, constitutes the concept of "cultural-philosophical interpretation of a literary and artistic work. Hermeneutics accompanies the process of cognition, when the processes of crystallization of meanings take place in the latter, which gives grounds to consider it as the most suitable means for recognizing the meanings of a literary and artistic work. Such works are genetically a semantic landscape, respectively, suggest understanding as a condition for penetration into their inner world. The meanings of literary and artistic works are usually encrypted by the authors, which implies painstaking interpretive activity based on the relevant philosophical and cultural traditions. Understanding and meaning are inextricably linked with each other, since understanding of meaning is the result, the final result of the process of interpretation, ”correspondingly, interpretation is needed in the absence of direct understanding. The study found that the cultural-philosophical interpretation of literary works, using hermeneutic tools, enriches philosophical research within the framework of the theory and history of culture, as it synthesizes new knowledge, thanks to which we become part of culture, getting acquainted with its best examples, distinguished by culturalphilosophical depth and fundamentality. Based on the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the culturalphilosophical interpretation of a literary and artistic work is a method of humanitarian knowledge, which aims to establish the philosophical and cultural meanings embedded by the author in the corresponding literary and artistic work by applying hermeneutic procedures.

Published: November 2022

Der Artikel befasst sich mit den „Eliten” der ostkarpatischen Waldsteppe in der jüngeren vorrömischen Eisenzeit. Auf Grund vor allem die Bestattungen es sollte festgestellt werden, dass es eine sehr hohe Übereinstimmung zwischen sozialem und militärischem Rang gibt. Hochwahrscheinlich die Krieger sind den gehobenen gesellschaftlichen Schichten so gut wie gleichbedeutend. Die durch die archäologische Analyse ermittelte Sozialgliederung macht den Eindruck einer relativ ebenen hierarchischen Ordnung. Die überwiegende Zahl von Bestattungen zeichnet sich durch ein hohes Mas an Uniformität aus, da das Inventar den Gräbern im Wesentlichen nicht über eine direkte Ausstattung für die Person hinausgehen. Diese sog. Eliten die in ihrem Wohlstand kaum über den gesellschaftlichen Durchschnitt hinausgehen und nur im militärischen Bereich wirklich überwiegen, zeichnen sich im Gebiet der Poienești-Lucașeuca-Kultur durch das Auftauchen folgender Elemente ab: – Bestattung in Metalgefas; – vollständige Bewaffnung; –Reitzubehor.
Almgren 236 Fibulae from Poiana (Romania)
Authors: Spanu Daniel
Published: November 2022

Among the numerous Early Roman fibulae discovered at Poiana (Galaţi County, Romania) there are also some specimens of the Almgren 236/237 type, also called Norican-Pannonian fibulae (Germ, Doppelknopffibeln). Three of them (figs. 1 and 2) are still preserved today in collections from Tecuci and Bucharest. Three other specimens were probably lost during 2nd World War, but their existence is attested by Radu Vulpe’s sketches drawn in his field journals (fig. 3). One fibula was discovered in the funeral pyre of the “Movila Hartop” tumulus in Poiana (fig. 2/2). All the others come the protohistoric settlement on the “Cetăţuie” site, but their contexts were insufficiently documented. The Almgren 236/237 type fibulae from Poiana exceeds the number of similar specimens found so far in other sites dated before the conquest of Dacia by Trajan on the territory of today Romania (fig. 4). The presented fibulae from Poiana indicate the close cultural contacts with the Alpine provinces in the early period of Roman Principate. The typological and chronological framing of the fibulae from Poiana are deficient due to their fragmentary state of preservation. However, the reception of Norican-Pannonian fibulae in local cultural milieus since the Augustus-Claudius time is suggested by a local imitation on silver discovered in the Remetea Mare hoard (fig. 5).

Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVES
This objective of this study was to evaluate the role of a heavy metal- lead acetate in the eruption rate of hypo functional incisors in albino Wistar rats.
METHODOLOGY
An experimental study was done in animal house of Post Graduate Medical Institute, Lahore since March 2019 to March 2020. 34 adult albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups (n=17 for each group) i.e., control and lead acetate group. Right mandibular incisors were selected for this study. Selected incisors were marked 1mm above the level of gingival papillae. The incisors were cut above this mark to make it hypo-functional. The readings were measured by digital Vernier caliper. This was considered as day 0. Incisors length was measured at day 0, 3, 6, 12 and 15 and eruption was calculated. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 22.
RESULTS
Eruption rate was similar throughout the study except last follow up. At the end of this study eruption of incisors in albino Wistar rats in control was 03.30±0.72mm, in lead 02.43±1.19mm. At day 15, the difference between control and lead group was statistically significant (p-value 0.033).
CONCLUSION
These results reveal that besides other causes of delayed tooth eruption excessive lead intoxication are also acausative factor of delayed tooth eruption.

To evaluate the effectiveness of disc excision in the treatment of herniated lumbar intervertebral disc.METHODOLOGY
METHODOLGY
This study was conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar. A total of 62 patients had moderate to severe radicular pain due to Prolapsed intervertebral disc at L4/5 or L5/S1. All the enrolled patients were subjected to disc excision surgery. Postoperatively the patients were kept for 48 hours for observation and then discharged. All the patients were advised to come after 2 weeks for the follow-up to check effectiveness.
RESULTS
The mean age of patients was 34.59± 7.49 years. There were 64.5% male and 35.5% female. 53.2% of patients had L4-L5, 33.9% of patients had L5-S1 and 12.9% of patients had both L4–L5 and L5–S1 level disc herniation. 85.5% of patients had no pain, 8.1% had mild pain and 04.8% had moderate pain. Postoperatively 79.0% of patients were satisfied.
CONCLUSION
As compared to conservative care limited disc excision is safe, effective, and reliable in terms of pain. Disc excision technique provides immediate relief from radicular pain.
A Methodical Approach to Scrutinize the Role of Body Mass Index in Heart Rate Increment and Recovery
Authors: Zaman Muhammad Haidar , Zhang Yaoyuan , Ilyas Muhammad , Yilin Weng , Su Yiwen , Bukhari Ashfaq Ahmad Shah , Ahmad Aousaf
Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVES
Heart rate (HR) is a crucial health indicator and is also one of the health factors we need to pay explicit attention to. Body Mass Index (BMI) is considered a cofactor in heart-related issues like heart rate increment and recovery. Thus a study was conducted to determine the relationship between BMI and the rate of heart rate increment and recovery.
METHODOLOGY
24 participants aged 17-20 were examined during elliptical machine training once a week continuously for three months. Their regular resting heart rate and change in heart rate during and after the elliptical workout were recorded and compared with BMI.
RESULTS
The HR increments were noted alongside BMI for male participants below BMI 21.13, and female participants below BMI 20.16. The heart rate increment tempo decreases alongside the increased BMI for both sexes afterwards. The heart rate recovery (HRrecovery) for male participants falls with the BMI increase to ~25 and increases thereafter. The female participants show a differing trend: HRrecovery rates increase following BMI growth till BMI ~ 20 and then decrease parabolically till the maximum BMI among female participants. The findings suggest no linear and non-significant correlation between BMI and heart rate increment or HRrecovery. The coefficient of determination is too tiny (R2 = 0.1395 for males and R2 = 0.003 for females) to indicate the causation between BMIs and HRrecovry.
CONCLUSION
This is the first study scrutinizing the role of body mass index on heart rate increment and heart rate recovery. Thus BMI should not be used as the cofactor or risk for heart activity or impaired functions.

Antimicrobial resistance has become the major threat to the health worldwide. It has lead to the ineffective impact of the ability of the substance or antibiotics to kill the bacteria. Therefore,there is a need to find a new alternative to overcome the problem by using natural products. In this study Piper betle (P. betle) and Murraya koenigii (M. koenigii) leaf extracts were used to measure their synergism effect towards antimicrobial treatments. Previous study has shown that both plants has shown their ability in inhibiting the growth of bacteria separately. Three different concentration ratios of the synergised leaf extracts were used with 1:1(P.betle:M. koenigii) ratios, 2:1 (P.betle:M. koenigii) ratios and 1:2 (P.betle:M.koenigii) ratios.The synergised leaf extracts was at the highest inhibition zone with combination of 2:1 ratio of P.betle and M. koenigii with 22.6mm. However, it does not have the greater inhibition ability as compared to the P.betle leaf extract with 28.1mm . Therefore, from the study, antagonism effect was discovered when both plant extracts were combined.

Published: November 2022

The application of biopolymer in piezoelectric application provides a great potential to replace traditional piezoelectric substances like polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and lead zirconate titanium (PZT), because of their biodegradability, biocompatibility, low toxicity properties and sustainable production. Chitosan, a natural polysaccharide has been found to fulfil all the characteristics and can be used safely for piezoelectric applications in agricultural, food industries and biomedical fields. This study aims to assess how piezoelectric characteristics are affected by different acid solvents and solvent casting volumes during chitosan thin film production. Chitosan thin film prepared using acetic acid and formic acid were fabricated using solvent casting method on petri dish at different volume of acids solvent. Chitosan thin films produced using acetic acid and 25 mL solvent loading provided the most significant mechanical quality factor (2.8). Moreover, the dissipation factor (0.80) was the lowest, indicating comparability to traditional thin PVDF film piezopolymer. Hence, thin chitosan films produced using acetic acid is proven to have the potential in piezoelectric application

A container-type plant factory is a closed facility for crop production with artificial lighting and a controlled environment allowing year-round crop production. In a plant factory, a poor ventilation system can result in physiological problems and unequal post-harvest quality which will lower the crops' commercial value. This study was conducted to investigate the temperature distribution in a container-type plant factory via computational fluid dynamics (CFD), followed by experimental studies for validation. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to simulate the container-type plant factory with air conditioning and an exhaust fan providing cooling air and ventilation across the plant factory. The predicted airflow distribution on the upper shelves accommodating crops shows that the average temperature is about 23.74 ℃ while for lower shelves is 23.59℃. This shows the temperature distribution is rather uniformly distributed across the plant factory. A validation between experimental data and simulated values indicated that the temperature distribution had a deviation smaller than 2%, suggesting the validity of the CFD studies. Hence, the CFD model was used to simulate several operational conditions towards optimizing the indoor condition of the plant factory.

Published: November 2022

In recent decades, a Model-Based Predictive Control (MPC) has revealed its dominance over other control methods such as having an ability of constraints handling and input optimization in terms of the value function. However, the complexity of the realization of the MPC algorithm on real mechatronic systems remains one of the major challenges. Traditional predictive control approaches are based on zero regulation or a step change. Nevertheless, more complicated systems still exist that need to track setpoint trajectories.

Currently, there is an active development of robotics and the creation of transport networks of movement without human participation. Therefore, the issue of programming the given trajectories of vehicles is relevant. In this article, authors reveal the alternative solution for tracking non-standard trajectories in spheres such as robotics, IT in mechatronics, etc., that could be used in self-driving cars, drones, rockets, robot arms and any other automized systems in factories.

The ability of Model-Based Predictive Control (MPC) such as the constraints handling and optimization of input in terms of the value function makes it extremely attractive in the industry. Nevertheless, the complexity of implementation of MPC algorithm on real mechatronic systems remains one of the main challenges.

Secondly, common predictive control algorithms are based on the regulation approach or a simple step shift. However, there exist systems that are more complicated where a setpoint to be tracked is given in the form of trajectories. In this project, there were made several modifications in order to improve an MPC algorithm to make better use of information about the trajectories.

The efficacy of the organization and corporate strategy are substantially impacted by enterprise resource planning (ERP) technologies. However, it might be difficult to manage and apply the anticipated benefits of ERP. Workarounds further complicate outdated and evolving business procedures, which impedes the ongoing development of ERP. As a result, reaping the rewards is sometimes challenging. The complexity of realizing advantages also rises when subsidiaries are not able to discover new benefits on their own, even though benefits may differ from subsidiary to subsidiary. ERP systems, which integrate, synchronize, and centralize corporate data, are frequently viewed as a key resource for businesses that thrive in a fast-evolving global market. The selection of ERP systems is a crucial and challenging strategic choice because of the high cost of purchasing, installation, and implementation as well as the variety of offers. Because there are many different tangible and intangible requirements. This paper presents data on the development of innovative digital technologies in enterprise management. The main theoretical concepts of innovative digital technologies are described, as well as automated control systems and methods of their development are studied. This paper presents a model of innovation management in an industrial enterprise, an analysis of the ICT market, and developed recommendations on the methodology for implementing an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system.
