Methodology for complex condition assessment of a capital construction object at the stage of its exploitation
Authors: Paramonov M. Y. , Zheglova Yu. G.
Published: December 2024

This paper is dedicated to developing a methodology for comprehensive assessment of capital construction objects during their operational phase. During operation, a capital construction object is subjected to various influences, which inevitably affects its current condition. At present, there is no methodology that allows for evaluating the overall wear of a capital construction object. The main attributes influencing the operational characteristics of buildings have been identified and grouped into larger categories. A mathematical model has been developed to obtain a comprehensive assessment of the object’s condition, taking into account the influence coefficients of attribute groups and the current state of individual elements. The proposed methodology allows for determining the overall wear of a building and assessing the need for repair work. Applying this approach can improve the effectiveness of management decisions in building operations, optimize resource allocation, and serve as a basis for creating a monitoring system for the condition of capital construction objects.

Authors: Kazaryan A. Y. , Baeva O. V.
Published: December 2024

The study of niches in the interiors of medieval dwelling houses of Ani, the largest Christian city in Armenia, carries out for the first time as part of a monographic article. The material for the study is the samples of niches in the structure of the houses of Ani excavated by the expedition of Nikolay Marr more than a century ago and by Turkish archaeologists over the past decades. The typological classification, carried out according to various criteria, contributes to the ordering of this material, which, despite its wide popularity, turned out to be poorly studied. Special attention is paid to the conches of the niches, which often had sculptural and carved decoration. It made the niche the most expressive form in the entire room. The dating of the studied niches within the epoch between the second half of the 12th and the first half of the 14th century is confirmed by the peculiarities of the stylistic implementation of these architectural forms, as well as their visual similarity with the niches created in the apses of Armenian churches, starting from the turn of the 12th–13th centuries. Reflections are expressed on the purpose of niches in the halls of dwelling houses, some palaces, on their similarity to the niches depicted in the miniatures of manuscripts, with the titles of the gospels. The similarity with the niches in the palaces of the Seljuks of Asia Minor also is detected.

Published: December 2024

The study presents a comparative analysis of technical solutions and technologies for energy-efficient capital repairs of apartment buildings. The purpose of the study is to identify technical solutions and technologies during the overhaul of structural elements of an apartment building that ensure the most effective reduction of heat losses and consumption. The methodological approaches of the study are based on a statistical analysis of the data on the results of major repairs in the Russian Federation. According to the results of the study, it was found that when planning major repairs, it is necessary to choose a set of technical solutions and technologies that together contribute to reducing energy consumption during work and achieving the most significant results in increasing the energy efficiency class of a residential building based on a comparative assessment of alternative options. The analysis showed that with the introduction of modern energy-saving technologies, the overhaul of apartment buildings can increase the level of energy efficiency for a minimum period of operation (for a quarter of a century) before the next major overhaul, ensuring equal conditions of energy comfort with new generation buildings (modern construction), which as a result improves the quality of life of citizens and accelerates the economic growth of the country.

Published: December 2024

The article assesses the transformation of the chemical composition of surface waters in the southeastern part of the Khibiny mountain massif after the beginning of development of the Oleniy Ruchey apatite-nepheline ore deposit in 2012. The influence of the Oleniy Ruchey Mine was reflected in an increase in water mineralization (by an order of magnitude) and in a change in the ratio between the basic ions in water objects receiving runoff from mines, rock dumps and tailings, compared to watercourses not affected by the mining enterprise’s activities. Natural hydrocarbonate-sodium water composition with a mineralization of 10 mg/l was transformed into nitrate-sodium or sulfate-calcium. The content of nitrogen group compounds in the water of Lake Komarinoe, which receives wastewater from the tailings pond over the ten-year history of the mining and processing plant, has increased by two orders of magnitude, and the nitrate ion is part of the basic ions. The concentrations of other basic ions and mineralization in this lake increased by an order of magnitude, as well as the content of trace elements (Sr, F, Mo), which are part of the main rock-forming minerals of apatite-nepheline deposits. Increased mineralization (up to 260 mg/l), pH value (up to 10) and a modified chemical composition compared to background objects were noted in mine wastewater. They are characterized by a hydrocarbonate-sodium composition with a large proportion of nitrates and sulfates. Mine wastewater contains increased levels of compounds of nutrients, organic matter and a number of microelements (Al, Fe, Sr, Cu, Mn, Zn and Cr). It has been established that geochemical modifications in the quality of surface water have local characteristic and are typical for water objects receiving wastewater from a mining enterprise, in contrast to metallurgical plants, the atmospheric emissions of which have a polluting effect over tens and hundreds km.

Published: December 2024

The estimates of isotope parameters and sources of fresh water components for subsurface, intermediate, and deep waters of Western part of the Bering Sea were carried out using the isotope (δ18О, δD) data for 177 seawater samples. We show that subsurface, dichothermal and, partially, intermediate waters ( 1000 м) are freshened by the regional atmospheric precipitations. For these waters the next equations of relations between delta values and salinity were obtained:
δ18О = [0.39 ± 0.02]S – 13.52 ± 0.61 and δD = [3.1 ± 0.1]S – 107.0 ± 2.7.
A deeper (1000–2500 m) waters also freshened by atmospheric precipitations, but from the more south region (≈ 40–45 S). The deepest waters (2800–4300 m) are preserving their isotope signal obtained by freshening with meltwaters of Antarctic glacier ice. The distribution of isotope parameters with the depth shows that the vertical mixing at the ≈1000–2500 m depth take place. This process should influent on the re-distribution of the biogenic elements, dissolved oxygen, organic matter, and other components in waters of the Western part of the Bering Sea. Isotope composition of waters passing into the Arctic Ocean halocline (S = 33.1) from the Bering Sea are δ18О = –0.61‰, and δD = –5.4‰.

Manner of motion and directional verbs in spoken adult and child Romanian
Authors: Stoicescu Ioana
Published: December 2024

This paper presents the patterns of use for manner of motion and directional verbs in a corpus of oral adult-to-adult Romanian, and a longitudinal corpus of child Romanian comprising both adult-to-child and child data. In adult-to-adult speech, as well as adult-to-child speech, manner of motion verbs were much less frequently used than directional verbs. This trend was also found in child speech. In the adult input and child speech, manner of motion verbs were mainly used intransitively, without reference to a Goal of Motion. By contrast, inherently directed motion verbs were used in bare verb constructions, or in association with Goal of Motion prepositional and adverbial phrases.

Published: December 2024

Abstract - This research was conducted to explore how telemedicine can assist people with chronic illnesses by examining the relationship between healthcare needs, social influence, and healthcare access by employing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The study was conducted across 144 participants with varying healthcare needs and social backgrounds. The findings revealed that healthcare needs had a significant and positive impact on the perceived usefulness of telemedicine. Social influence was identified as a key factor that positively affected both the perceived usefulness and ease of use of telemedicine. Moreover, the overall acceptance of telemedicine among people with chronic illnesses was positively influenced by perceived usefulness and ease of use. The healthcare access that would influence the acceptance of telemedicine did not have a significant moderating effect on the acceptance of telemedicine as initially hypothesized. The study's conclusions provide useful information for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and health tech businesses. This helps to enhance telemedicine adoption and develop effective implementation strategies among those who manage chronic diseases.

GEN Z INVESTMENT DECISION: ROLE OF FINANCIAL LITERACY, INTEREST AND RISK TOLERANCE USING LOGISTIC REGRESSION
Authors: Yusup Adi Kurniawan , Gunawan Kartikasari
Published: December 2024

Abstract- The number of Generation Z individuals who invest in high-risk financial instruments is increasing. This trend is interesting because high-risk investments commonly tend to attract older and more experienced investor. This study aims to analyze the impact of financial literacy and financial interest on investment decisions of Generation Z in high-risk assets, with risk tolerance as a moderating factor. Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is used to formulate the hypotheses. This study used quantitative method and the data is collected by distributing the questionnaires to the respondents. The sample of this study is 401 Generation Z individuals in Surabaya who are over 17 years old and thus legally able to invest according to Indonesian regulations. We conduct logistic regression analysis to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal that financial literacy does not affect investment decisions in high-risk assets, whereas financial interest has a positive effect. Furthermore, risk tolerance does not moderate the relationship between financial literacy and investment decisions. However, a high level of risk tolerance strengthens the positive effect of financial interest on investment decisions in high-risk assets. This research contributes new insight for investment companies and government to boost financial interest through engaging activities like gamified financial tools and interactive workshops.

Media Ecologies and Transcendent Technology in Richard Powers’s 'The Overstory'
Authors: Storey Thomas
Published: December 2024

Often cited as a preeminent text of contemporary environmental fiction, Richard Powers’s The Overstory is a literary attempt to bridge the gap between the human and the nonhuman and reveal the entanglement of their shared ecological well-being. The novel carries out this project by providing vegetal lifeforms, specifically trees, with some communicative capacity. They are able to express themselves, both through chemical signals, relayed across networks of fungi and other organic lifeforms, and through an affective, transcendental mode of communication. Powers therefore evokes both the scientific discourse around the so-called ‘Wood Wide Web’, and the Romantic notion of nature as a vector for transcendent experience. However, through its emphasis on a nonhuman media ecology and on technology as a mode of communication, The Overstory also reveals how, in the context of the Anthropocene, technological mediation has become inescapable in any interaction with nature.

Waiting for a Cure: Factors Influencing Melanoma Treatment Delays
Authors: Huang Lisa , Rubin David , Vidal Lothar , Riser Jordan , Jones Christopher , Hiester Samantha
Published: December 2024

Melanoma, with a five-year survival rate of 94% in early-stage diagnosis, drops significantly when diagnosed at later stages, making identifying barriers to timely treatment crucial. This literature review examines factors influencing melanoma treatment wait times and their impact on patient outcomes. Elderly, male, and Medicare patients, along with those with higher Breslow thickness and severe melanoma stages, experienced longer wait times. Patients receiving intervention within 30 days had better survival rates. Lack of knowledge and misconceptions about melanoma contribute to delayed care, particularly in communities with lower incidence rates. Black patients faced longer waits from diagnosis to surgery, indicating disparities. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with lower-income neighborhoods experiencing longer wait times. Targeted interventions are needed to reduce these disparities. Enhancing public health education and addressing patient-based factors can improve outcomes. Further research is required to explore the impact of melanoma across racial groups and investigate factors like insurance coverage and access to care. Community education initiatives could lead to earlier interventions. Understanding these factors is essential for improving access to timely melanoma treatment and enhancing patient outcomes.
The Impact of the COVID-19 Mask Mandate on Effective Communication Between Healthcare Providers and Deaf/HoH Patients
Authors: Conti Antonia J. , Gingerich Alexa
Published: December 2024

During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries mandated the use of facial masks in public environments, especially in healthcare settings.While this was beneficial in reducing the spread of the coronavirus disease, it created many challenges for the deaf/HoH community. In particular, it limited effective communication between healthcare providers and deaf/HoH patients. It was found that masks limit word recognition for both deaf/HoH and non-deaf/HoH individuals. Additionally, both surgical and N95 masks hinder word recognition for deaf/HoH individuals and significantly impact communication during medical appointments.

Authors: Li Zhewen , Athanasiadis Konstantinos A. , Fygkioris Michail , Koufopoulos Dimitrios N.
Published: December 2024

Financial Reporting Quality (FRQ) is crucial for the accurate representation of a company’s financial performance and position. Corporate documentation, such as annual reports, is used by managers to enhance their investment decisions. Better reporting could improve the investment decisions of managers, thus improving the Investment Efficiency (IE) of the company, avoiding both overinvestment and underinvestment. This study examines the impact of financial reporting quality on the firms' investment efficiency using accounting and stock data for U.S. listed firms from 2010 to 2022. The data were acquired through CRSP, Compustat and BoardEx databases. Our final sample consists of 10,350 firms yielding 70,939 firm-to-year observations. We adopted the Chen et al. (2011) approach defining FRQ and Biddle et al. (2009) for IE. Our results show that financial reporting quality is positively related to investment efficiency and that this positive effect is more pronounced in firms with aged CEOs. The study conducts robustness checks on these results by utilizing alternative empirical models. The results lend support to the theory by Biddle et al. (2009), suggesting that firms with high reporting quality are less likely to overinvest or underinvest. Moreover, this study extends the research by demonstrating that CEO age has an enhancing effect on the impact of financial reporting quality (FRQ) on investment efficiency (IE).

Authors: Nair Anjali Suresh , Nair Priya , Agrawal Anurag
Published: December 2024

This study examines the symbiotic relationship between Internal Auditing (IA) and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), demonstrating how the efficiency of one function enhances the other. Specifically, it analyzes the influence of ERM on the IA function and investigates the role of internal auditors in the ERM implementation process, assessing how their involvement may optimize this process. Additionally, the study explores the potential repercussions of auditors' engagement in ERM on their independence and objectivity. Data for this research was gathered through questionnaires distributed to professionals in the field, with conclusions drawn based on the majority of responses. The findings reveal that an established ERM framework significantly boosts the efficiency of the IA process. Internal auditors can leverage ERM's comprehensive data to prioritize their auditing activities more effectively. Furthermore, the study concludes that the involvement of internal auditors in ERM, when confined to advisory capacities, does not compromise their independence or objectivity. This controlled participation ensures that auditors maintain their critical oversight capabilities while contributing to the management of enterprise-wide risks.

(Madrid), the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Azores, and Oran (Algeria: syntypes of S. dimidiata var.
angusta), which helped refine and correct some identification criteria. Over 15 specimens of S. sardoa
from Sardinia were also examined to complete the species description. The individuals from the
Var department were identified as S. sardoa due to numerous morphological similarities, marking
the species’ first recorded occurrence in France. However, future detailed studies of Sardinian and
Var populations could potentially reveal discrepancies, as minor morphological differences were
noted between the French and Sardinian specimens (potential subspecies?). A comparative table of
S. dimidiata, S. sardoa, S. arcisherculis Brölemann, 1904, and S. subterranea (Shaw, 1794) is provided with
an English translation.
A large hornet from the Upper Miocene of Saint-Bauzile, southeastern France (Hymenoptera, Vespidae)
Authors: Engel Michael S. , Nel André
Published: December 2024

A new species of large hornet is described and figured from the Upper Miocene (end Tortonian)
lacustrine diatomite of the paleolake la Montagne d’Andance of the Saint-Bauzile Konservat-Lagerstätte
(Privas, Ardèche). Vespa (Intervespa) tortonica n. subgen., n. sp., is distinguished from extant and extinct
species of Vespa Linnaeus on the basis of wing venation, which intermingles symplesiomorphic
features of the Palaeocene-Eocene Palaeovespa Cockerell and other extant genera of Vespinae with
the apomorphic elongation of the vertex present in Vespa. The historical diagnosis for Palaeovespa is
clarified. Since V. tortonica bridges the character divide between Vespa and other vespines, the former
is placed in its own subgenus, putatively sister to all other Vespa.

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF A METHODOLOGY FOR THE INTEGRAL INDEX OF INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE
Authors:   Mukachevo State University, Chernychko Tetiana , Chorii Yurii ,   Mukachevo State University, Kotubei Yurii ,   Mukachevo State University

The article highlights the relevance of the issue of socio-economic inequality, accessibility of opportunities for
all segments of the population, and the rational use of human capital in the context of Ukraine's modern development. The authors emphasize the limitations of traditional methods of assessing socio-economic development,
which largely focus on general indicators and often ignore disparities in access to economic resources among different social groups. This approach complicates policy-making, as key aspects of inclusive development, such as
social cohesion, fair distribution of benefits, and the participation of all citizens in socio-economic life, remain
overlooked. Given current challenges, the paper underscores the need to establish an inclusive approach to development that would promote not only economic growth but also ensure social stability and reduce inequality among
the population. However, Ukraine currently lacks comprehensive methodologies to measure the level of inclusivity
in development, significantly hampering the ability to make well-founded decisions at the state level and slowing the country’s sustainable development. In response to these challenges, the article aims to develop and test a methodology for an inclusive development integral index, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of the country's
socio-economic development through the lens of inclusivity. The proposed approach encompasses an analysis of
accessibility to economic opportunities, social equality, quality of life, and regional stability. The integral index
serves as a comprehensive tool that reflects socio-economic development as a single aggregate value based on the
evaluation of such aspects as income, access to education, healthcare, environmental conditions, social infrastructure, and gender equality. The formation of the index involves a multi-stage process, including the identification of
key indicators, their normalization, and the calculation of weight coefficients using the Analytic Hierarchy Process
(AHP). The article proposes a formula for the integral index that objectively assesses the level of inclusivity, which
can be used to monitor the dynamics of Ukraine's socio-economic development, adapt policy decisions, and identify
directions for improving regional policy.
