The aim of the article is to assess the state of financial capacity of territorial communities of the Zhytomyr region and to model the prospects for their development, taking into account the established trends. It is substantiated that in order to achieve the effective functioning and development of territorial communities, all efforts should be aimed at the development of internal potential, the optimal use of mechanisms for the formation of the revenue side of local budgets and the rational use of the formed financial resources. It is found that the execution of local budgets of territorial communities of the Zhytomyr region in terms of key indicators indicates an unstable situation that characterizes the average trends in Ukraine, which is explained by the high concentration of production and service enterprises in the central regions of Ukraine (including in the Zhytomyr region), whose tax payments provide the lion’s share of all revenues to local budgets. It is identified that within the boundaries of the Zhytomyr region, communities with a population of up to 10 thousand people demonstrate the best results of economic management. In particular, it is found that the communities comprising from 5 to 10 thousand persons have the highest variability of the results obtained, which can be explained by their high flexibility and dependence on the quality of management. It is proved that the least effective and most vulnerable were large communities with a population of more than 15 thousand people. According to all of the above indicators, they were worse than the regional average, and there was not a single hromada with exemplary results among them. The main criteria for the success of territorial communities are allocated and substantiated, in particular: the optimal number of communities is up to 10 thousand people; effective financial provision, stability and sufficiency of resources; qualified specialists in self-government bodies; high-quality control over the activities of self-government bodies; activity and initiative of the community

Published: October 2023

Posters are great ways to promote movies. They visually show crucial components that stimulate excitement and interest in upcoming films. Nevertheless, using posters as movie promotional tools presents certain issues. Given the high volume of film releases annually, it can be challenging to differentiate oneself in a saturated market. Moreover, assessing their efficacy can pose a significant challenge. The movie advertising industry stands to benefit significantly from augmented reality's (AR) rapid development. It has the potential to generate interest in upcoming films by creating interactive and immersive experiences. This study aims to understand how Malaysian youths view AR movie promotion to determine the best approaches to creating AR-based movie promotions. Three augmented reality (AR) experiences promoting the local film "Roh" were developed and tested on university students aged 18 to 25. The results illustrate the perceptions of the Malaysian youths regarding AR movie promotion and suggest optimal approaches to creating AR-based movie promotions that appeal to this demographic.

Mental Health Problems Prediction Using Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Cheng Jia-Pao , Haw Su-Cheng
Published: October 2023

Mental health problems encompass a range of conditions that can impact an individual's emotions and behaviors. The conventional methods of mental illness prediction often suffer from the issue of either over-detection or under-detection and the time-consuming manual review process of patients' data during screening sessions. Therefore, this research aims to utilize machine learning techniques to predict mental health problems, complementing the traditional clinical screening and diagnosis process. The proposed models in this project: Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Random Forest leverage relevant factors from the dataset concerning mental health survey published by Open Source Mental Disorders in 2014 to predict mental health problems. Feature selection and hyperparameter fine-tuning are employed to identify the factors contributing to mental health problems and enhance the performance of the models. The evaluation of these models is measured using accuracy, recall, precision, F1 score, and AUROC. Experimental evaluation results indicated that the Random Forest model utilizing hyperparameters derived from the RandomizedSearchCV method outperforms during model selection using cross-validation. When predicting test set data, it exhibits a good generalization with an accuracy of 83.23%, recall of 89.87%, precision of 78.02%, F1 score of 83.53%, and AUROC of 83.57%.

БОЇ ЗА ПУКТИ ПРОПУСКУ НА УКРАЇНО-РОСІЙСЬКОМУ ДЕРЖАВНОМУ КОРДОНІ ПІД ЧАС АНТИТЕРОРИСТИЧНОЇ ОПЕРАЦІЇ (ЧЕРВЕНЬ – СЕРПЕНЬ 2014 РОКУ)
Authors: Ананьїн Олег
Published: October 2023

Розглянуто хід та результати бойових дій підрозділів Державної прикордонної служби України та незаконних збройних формувань «ДНР/ЛНР» за контроль над пунктами пропуску на ділянках українсько-російського державного кордону у межах територій Донецької та Луганської областей.

У червні 2014 року місцеві органи влади фактично втратили контроль над суспільно-політичною ситуацією у прикордонних районах Луганської та Донецької областей. З кожним днем збільшувалася кількість випадків проведення біля прикордонних підрозділів різних несанкціонованих мітингів за участю місцевих мешканців. Їхніми вимогами до прикордонників були  здати зброю та перейти на бік, так званого, «народу Донбасу».

У загрозливому становищі на державному кордоні опинилися пункти пропуску. Більшість з них були розташовані на значному віддалені від відділів прикордонної служби, яким підпорядковувалися. Блок-пости бойовиків «ДНР/ЛНР» на автошляхах ускладнювали доставку до пунктів пропуску змін прикордонних нарядів. У разі нападу бойовиків прикордонні резерви не мали можливості вчасно надати необхідну допомогу. Незважаючи на складну обстановку, прикордонники продовжували нести службу на визначених ділянках. У такий ситуації Уряд України змушений був припинити здійснення прикордонного контролю та закрити 8 пунктів пропуску на українсько-російському державному кордоні у межах Донецької та Луганської областей.

Найбільші за тривалістю часу та значенням для Антитерористичної операції у період червень – серпень 2014 року стали бойові дії за пункти пропуску у районах населених пунктів Довжанське, Ізварине, Маринівка та Червонопартизанськ. Контроль над захопленими пунктами пропуску через державний кордон надав бойовикам можливості вільно отримувати з території РФ зброю, боєприпаси, людські та матеріально-технічні ресурси.  Що стало однією з багатьох причин, які унеможливили для української влади успішне завершення активної фази АТО в літку 2014 року.
ПІХОТНА АРТИЛЕРІЯ ДРУГОЇ СВІТОВОЇ ВІЙНИ: НІМЕЦЬКИЙ ПІДХІД
Authors: Харук Андрій
Published: October 2023

Німецький підхід до організації піхотної артилерії в роки Другої світової війни відзначався продуманістю і системністю. Він передбачав як технічні заходи (створення артилерійських систем відповідного призначення), так і організаційно-штатні (введення підрозділів піхотної артилерії в структуру полків, а в окремих випадках – батальйонів). До початку 1930-х рр. в Німеччині були створені два основних взірці артсистем цього класу – легка піхотна гармата leIG 18 і важка sIG 33. Після початку Другої світової війни головним напрямком їх удосконалення стало підвищення мобільності, зокрема, створення самохідних артилерійських установок з гарматами sIG 33. Основною організаційною формою піхотної артилерії була полкова рота піхотних гармат. Однак в деяких випадках легкі піхотні гармати вводились в стркутуру батальйонів. Це обумовлювалось специфікою піхоти рігських стрілецьких і танкових дивізій.

It gathers 18 contributions (12 in English, 5 in French, and 1 in German) by various scholars who have addressed the topic in question by focusing on specific aspects of the reception of these two texts between the sixth and 16th centuries in very different periods and cultural contexts. For this reason, the weighty volume is divided into five sections according to the cultural and geographical areas examined:(1) Byzantium,(2) The Caucasus,(3) The Lands of Islam,(4) The Latin West, and(5) The Hebrew Tradition.In view of the breadth and richness of the themes dealt with, I will limit myself to some brief and summary remarks on the main topics addressed in each essay.

Authors: Villey Émilie
Published: October 2023

A Companion to Byzantine Science est un volume composé de 13 chapitres, d’une introduction de Stavros Lazaris, d’une conclusion d’Anne Tihon et de trois index (index général, index des manuscrits et index des noms modernes) réalisés par Antonio Ricciardetto. Onze des 13 chapitres sont consacrés à un domaine spécifique de la science byzantine (sur les sciences mathématiques, l’optique, la météorologie et la physique, l’astronomie et l’astrologie, la géographie, la zoologie, la botanique, la médecine et la pharmacologie, la médecine vétérinaire, l’art militaire et enfin les sciences occultes (divination, astrologie, alchimie). Les deux premiers chapitres (« ‘Inner’ and ‘Outer’ Knowledge : The Debate between Faith and Reason in Late Antiquity » d’Hervé Inglebert et « Science Teaching and Learning Methods in Byzantium » d’Immaculada Pérez Martín et Divna Manolova) constituent une sorte d’introduction à l’ensemble des sujets abordés dans le volume. L’éditeur réussit son pari en offrant ici un véritable guide utile pour faciliter l’accès aux textes grecs byzantins traitant de sciences mathématiques et naturelles.
Reading Proclus and the Book of Causes: 3. On Causes and the Noetic Triad by Dragos Calma
Authors: Gersh Stephen E.
Published: October 2023

This is the third of a three-volume series of essay collections based on three conferences held in Paris at the École pratique des hautes études in 2015–2016. The papers delivered at the conferences have been arranged thematically for publication—with a few essays being moved and a few others commissioned for the printed version—by Dragos Calma as general editor, who planned and organized the original sessions together with the late Marc Geoffroy. The first volume deals with a wide range of topics in connection with the Western intellectual tradition from Antiquity to the Renaissance; the second is arranged geographically and deals with the Byzantium, the Caucasus, the Lands of Islam, the Latin West, and the Hebraic Tradition; while the third contains the essays having the most overtly philosophical character within the various traditions.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effects of AFA and its associated factors, especially those coexisting with hyperandrogenism or PCOS, on QoL using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).
Materials and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on AFA patients who had been treated between May 2018 and January 2020. Dermatologists had performed history taking and determined the clinical severity of the acne, and gynecologists had identified PCOS. Aggravating factors and DLQI were self-reported by the patients.
Results: A total of 208 AFA patients, aged 31.8±7.1 years on average, were included. The mean DLQI score was 8.0±5.4 (range: 0-23). Patients with moderate to severe acne had significantly higher total DLQI scores compared to those with almost clear to mild acne (P=0.043). Similarly, patients who reported acne aggravated by diet, androgenetic alopecia, or perioral and chin lesions had significantly higher total DLQI scores (P=0.025, P=0.049, and P=0.014, respectively). However, PCOS and hirsutism did not significantly impact QoL. The aspect most affected was feeling embarrassed and self-conscious, with significantly greater impacts observed in patients with moderate to severe acne compared to mild acne. The daily activities of patients with androgenetic alopecia were significantly impacted in terms of their choice of clothes and sexual difficulties.
Conclusion: AFA mostly had a moderate to extremely large effect on patients’ QoL. Knowing the factors influencing QoL, such as acne severity, dietary aggravation of acne, and androgenetic alopecia, may enable physicians to improve the QoL of patients.

Both musculoskeletal and mental health are important components of the quality of life of individuals as well as public health. This study aimed to determine the musculoskeletal and mental health problems of adult smokers in Dhaka city, Bangladesh. During July to October 2022, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among desk-based officials in Dhaka city who smoke. Musculoskeletal pain of officials was determined by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and mental health status was determined by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) scale. The collected dataset was checked and analyzed by IBM SPSS 23 package software. During the study period, 289 complete interviews with smokers were conducted, of which only 13.1% were female. Our analysis has identified a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain (66%), where 15% had severe pain and another 28% had moderate pain. Severe depression was seen among 2.8% of participants, and another 9% had moderately severe depression. Advanced aged individuals (>54 years) are at higher risk of having musculoskeletal pain (OR=1.99, 95% CI: 1.01-3.93). People who are overweight or obese have 71% more risk of developing musculoskeletal pain (OR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.02-2.86). Moreover, having a lift facility in the house and the depression level of the participants were also significantly associated with the presence of musculoskeletal pain (P<0.05). There is a high prevalence of moderate to severe musculoskeletal pain and mental health problems among sedentary workers who smoke. The findings of this study would be helpful for smoking cessation programs to control smoking and would guide policymakers to take effective steps to control tobacco. More research is required to determine the combined effect of depression and smoking on musculoskeletal pain.

Background: Both off-pump (OPCAB) and on pump arrest heart coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) are frequently performed in department of cardiac surgery, NICVD, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Both types of procedures have advantages and disadvantages. This study was conducted to analyze early post-operative outcome following both types of CABG on patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.
Methods: Between 1st September 2019 to 28th February 2021, a cross-sectional study was performed with total 60 patients. 30 patients underwent Off Pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB)(Group A) and 30 patients underwent Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass (CCAB) (Group B) surgery. Preoperative, peroperative and post-operative variables were recorded and analyzed with appropriate statistical tools and p ≤ 0.05 considered statistically significant.
Results: Fifty-five male i.e., 91.67% and five female i.e., 8.33% of total patients were participated in this study. Mostly were within forty-five to sixty-four years age group. Preoperative risk factors, family history and drug history had no significant difference (p>0.05). Mean ± SD number of bypass conduits given in each group almost similar and no statistically significant arrhythmia in terms of atrial fibrillation (AF), ventricular tachycardia (VT) and premature ventricular contraction (PVC) were found preoperatively (p>0.05). New onset of early post-operative ECG changes was found in 3 patients of group A and 9 in group B (10 % vs 30%). AF and PVC found in group B significantly (p<0.05) higher than group A. Immediate post-operative troponin I was higher in group B (p = 0.001). Mean ± SD duration of mechanical ventilation, inotropic supports, ICU stay, bleeding and blood transfusion and serum creatinine were significantly higher in group B (p <0.05). Overall immediate and follow up post-operative morbidities were higher in group B than A (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Although on pump arrest heart CABG still stands gold standard, in our study we found OPCAB is better than conventional method.

Cardiac Rehabilitation in Coronary Artery Disease: Improving Outcomes and Adherence
Authors: Ullah Mohammad , Rahman Md Toufiqur , Islam AKM Monwarul , Majumder AAS
Published: October 2023

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a program that aims to improve the cardiovascular health of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) through a multidisciplinary approach. CR typically includes exercise training, risk factor modification, psychosocial support, and education. Studies have shown that CR can improve exercise capacity, reduce angina symptoms, enhance overall quality of life, and reduce the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. Despite the benefits of CR, adherence remains a challenge, and many patients with CAD do not participate in these programs. Strategies to improve adherence to CR include patient education, personalized goal setting, motivational interviewing, and peer support. Encouraging and supporting patients with CAD to participate in CR programs is crucial for the secondary prevention and long-term management of their condition.
While CR programs are effective, access to these programs may be limited for some patients, particularly those in underserved communities or rural areas. Tele-rehabilitation, which uses technology to provide remote delivery of CR services, has shown promise in increasing access to CR for patients who may not have access to traditional in-person programs.
Overall, CR is a vital component of the management of CAD, and its benefits extend beyond cardiovascular health to include improvements in overall quality of life. It is important to raise awareness about the importance of CR and to work towards increasing access to these programs for all patients with CAD.
