Digital transformation framework for the New Zealand financial industry
Authors:   , Jose Mylene
Published: May 2024

This research aimed to contribute valuable insights and knowledge that can benefit practitioners, policymakers, and other researchers engaged in New Zealand's financial industry by providing a deeper understanding of digital transformation and to propose a comprehensive and customised digital transformation framework that aligns with the country's financial landscape. The research methodology involved a multi-faceted approach, beginning with a comprehensive literature review encompassing historical aspects, fundamental concepts, and an extensive examination of various digital transformation frameworks to establish a robust theoretical foundation. Data collection comprised two qualitative methods from the participants. The first method included interviews through a focus group, and the second method utilised a questionnaire method. These approaches allowed for the gathering of structured data ranging from low to high-level codes and in-depth exploration of critical issues and insights. Subsequently, data analysis involved using thematic analysis, facilitating the identification of patterns and themes to draw conclusions. This methodological approach ensured a well-rounded investigation of digital transformation frameworks and consideration of participants’ responses from within the financial industry in New Zealand. This research explored diverse factors influencing DT in New Zealand's financial industry, covering societal, cultural, governmental, regulatory, Māori cultural values, and economic aspects. It also addressed organisational, societal, cultural, and economic requirements for a proposed New Zealand DT framework, with participants’ validation categorised into acceptance, change management, governance, adaptability, alignment, communication, cybersecurity, financial regulation, market dynamics, and more. The study achieved its objective by integrating these factors into a proposed DT framework tailored to New Zealand's financial industry, drawing from the KPMG DT framework, participants’ insights, and researcher-proposed elements. The resulting framework emphasises well-defined guidance and strategy, standardisation, flexibility, risk management, collaboration, customer-centricity, regulatory compliance, data security, digital inclusion, technology adoption, organisational culture, and cross-cultural considerations. This adaptation addressed a critical gap and produced a comprehensive, customised DT framework aligning with New Zealand's unique financial requirements. The limitations of the research encompass concerns regarding its generalisability to other industries in New Zealand, the potential dominance of voices in the focus group potentially affecting the diversity of perspectives, time constraints in focus group discussions, the digital transformation framework's scope covering all financial industry aspects, and the small, purposively selected sample size.

Published: May 2024

The article delves into characterizing macrobending losses in optical fiber coils for use in diverse sensors. It examines Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) and Multimode Fiber (MMF) with step and graded index profiles incorporated into sensor coils of varying diameters and numbers of turns. The experimental configuration involves compressing the coils to monitor optical power loss caused by attenuation. The findings reveal that SMFs experience more significant macrobending losses than MMFs, while the graded index fiber exhibits notable resistance to bending. These results offer valuable guidance for fiber selection and sensor design considerations.

Published: May 2024

Morphogenetic and growth molecules, a key participant in reparative dentinogenesis, determine viability of the dentin-pulp complex (DPC), periodontium and dentogingival junction. They are secreted in microvessels, nerve fibers and connective tissue cells of the dental pulp, exerting homeostatic influence on the immediate surrounding. The present paper reviews the data on the localization of growth factors and signaling mechanisms that control histogenesis and reparative processes in the DPC. The paper points out the significance of these factors in the regulation of proinflammatory and immunocompetent cells in caries, periodontitis and osteoinductive processes in the alveolar outgrowth. The study of growth molecules appears crucial in the development of the latest clinical strategies to maintain the viability of the DPC and to integrate artificial materials in dental tissue restoration.

Authors: Shumeyko A. A. , Batyrshin I. M. , Demko A. E. , Sklizkov D. S. , Ostroumova J. S. , Fomin D. V.
Published: May 2024

Iliopsoas abscess comprises a frequently missed and late-diagnosed pathology that can be encountered by specialists of various profiles. Depending on the etiology and pathogenesis, iliopsoas abscess can be primary, if the infectious process initially develops in the iliopsoas muscle, or secondary, if the infection spreads from another inflammatory focus. The disease often has non-specific clinical manifestations and, in secondary abscesses, may be masked by symptoms of the underlying disease. The most informative diagnostic methods include CT scanning and magnetic resonance imaging. In the case of early detection and adequate treatment, the prognosis is generally good. Untimely treatment can lead to such serious complications as purulent leakage into neighboring areas, severe sepsis, septic shock, and persistent functional disorders. Without treatment, the mortality rate reaches 100%. To date, no uniform approaches to the management of patients with iliopsoas abscess has been developed.

Authors: Gordina E. M. , Bozhkova S. A. , Rukina A. N.
Published: May 2024

Objective. To evaluate an etiologic significance of S. maltophilia in the development of orthopedic implant-associated infections. Materials and methods. The study involved a retrospective analysis of the frequency of excretion of S. maltophilia in patients with periprosthetic infection and osteomyelitis, using the Microbe-2 program in period of 2005–2020. Clinical isolates were excreted according to standard methods. Identification was performed via Microlatest panels using iEMS Reader MF. Antibiotic susceptibility was studied in accordance with EUCAST. Results. Over 16 years 69 strains of S. maltophilia have been identified, comprising 0.33% of all isolated pathogens (n=20631). 50% of isolates were excreted from tissue biopsies, 30% – from wound exudates. In 89% of cases, S. maltophilia was isolated in microbial associations, including 65% of cases together with Grampositive bacteria, 18% with other non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria, and 6% with other pathogens. 63% appeared sensitive to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and 25.5% of isolates were resistant. The proportion of cultures sensitive to this drug was found to increase from 63% in 2011–2014 to 81% in 2015–2019 (p = 0.08). Conclusion. S. maltophilia should be considered as a causative etiologic agent of severe chronic orthopedic infections.

Published: May 2024

Objective. To assess the rehabilitation potential of patients with cerebrovascular disorders for prospective follow-up and effective medical rehabilitation. Materials and methods. The study group included patients with cerebrovascular diseases (n=20) and acute cerebrovascular accident (n=22). Integral assessment of the state of health was carried out using diagnostic complex “Computer dermograph for the topical diagnosis of pathology lesions of internal organs” (DgKTD-01). Following studying the baseline indicators, a comparative analysis of the study group and the control group (n=10) was carried out. The patients of the study group had their state of health corrected by means of the Computerized corrector ANKF-01 using low-intensity electromagnetic field for normalization of functional activity of the central and peripheral nervous system. The course consisted of 10 sessions weekly with preliminary functional and topical diagnostics using the DgKTD-01 complex. Results. Patients with acute cerebrovascular accident revealed a functional restructuring of autonomic regulation with a greater severity of activation of the sympathetic link, patients with cerebrovascular diseases – of the parasympathetic one. The determining factor in cerebral circulation disorder consists in the indices of basic functions F2 and F3. The study identified a model for predicting the likelihood of acute recurrent disorders of cerebral circulation, as well as additional diagnostic criteria for differential diagnosis. Purposeful change of excitatory (inhibitory) potentials in cortical-subcortical relations changes vegetative balance, stimulates microcirculation, muscle-tonic function, neurotrophic regulation. These effects stabilize and improve the condition of patients. The effectiveness of rehabilitation measures using ANKF-01 is considered to be higher in patients with acute cerebrovascular accident. Conclusion. Patients with cerebral circulation disorders have specific features of the adaptive capabilities of the body. This indicates the differentiation in the formation of the functional status of the body, taking into account the characteristics of the disease, individual resources and compensatory capabilities. Rehabilitation based on the use of ANKF-01 increases the effectiveness of measures aimed at preventing organic changes in the brain, and can significantly improve the prognosis and reduce the percentage of disability in this category of patients.

Authors: Sosnin D. Yu. , Galkovich K. R.
Published: May 2024

Objective. To determine the marker function of fatty acid binding protein (FABP) concentration in seminal plasma (SP) in order to assess ejaculate fertility used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment of infertility in couples. Materials and methods. The study involved semen samples of 96 men of reproductive age: the study group (n=63) – patients with a decrease in concentration and/or total content of spermatozoa in ejaculate, the comparison group (n=33) – men with normal concentration and number of spermatozoa in ejaculate. The content of FABP in SP was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using the test system “FABP – ELISA – BEST” (A-9102, Vector-Best, Russia). In order to determine the informative value of using the concentration of FABP in SP as a criterion of ejaculate fertility of men of the study group, the predictive value of positive and negative IVF results was determined by calculating the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and efficiency. Results. The content of FABP in SP accounted for 1.29 ± 0.24 ng/mL, the median and interquartile range comprised 1.23 [1.13–1.35] ng/mL, ranging from 1.08 to 2.79 ng/mL. The study revealed statistically significant intergroup differences (Mann-Whitney test U=79.00; p=0.000016), a weak correlation between the level of FABP and the concentration of spermatozoa (R=0.578008) and their number in ejaculate (R=0.583599). The diagnostic sensitivity of the test for FABP in SP of the men of the study group accounted for 81.82%, specificity – 78.95%, efficiency – 80.95%. Conclusion. Seminal plasma FABP can act as a marker of spermatogenesis disorders. The study of this protein in ejaculate provides the accuracy of predicting the outcome of in vitro fertilization.

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of breast cysts with an ozone-oxygen mixture using ultrasound guidance. Materials and methods. The methodology included a retrospective analysis of the ultrasound-guided treatment of breast cysts. Treatment was carried out according to clinical recommendations using a conservative method and involved outpatient ultrasound-guided removal of cystic content without sclerosant and with introduction of ozone-oxygen mixture. Results. 445 patients with fibrocystic mastopathy were treated. The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 55 years. The detected cysts up to 2 cm represented regular-shaped, rounded anechoic masses with clear even contours and homogeneous structure. Cysts larger than 2 cm were sometimes irregular in shape with anechoic, homogeneous content. In most cases, the multilocular cysts had an irregular shape with anechoic contents, without intracavitary parietal inclusions. The average size of the cysts comprised 2.8±0.9 cm. The analysis showed the effectiveness of the treatment methods. The best effect was obtained with the use of an ozone-oxygen mixture. Complications of the procedure were observed in 6 (2%) patients (hematoma and recurrence). Conclusion. The findings of the study showed that treatment of breast cysts with an ozone-oxygen mixture using ultrasound guidance proved to be a highly effective, low-traumatic, and safe method. This technique is performed on outpatient basis, does not require the administration of anesthetics, is well tolerated by patients, has a selective effect, has no serious complications and risk of cosmetic defects.
Difficulties in the diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis (clinical observation)
Authors: Torohtij G. A. , Belov S. A.
Published: May 2024

Neurological disorders are widely recognized as the most frequent and dangerous complication of neglected forms of spinal tuberculosis, typically leading to disability. Since tuberculous spondylitis remains free from pathognomonic clinical symptoms, the disease should be suspected in case of ineffective treatment of a non-tuberculous disease with a particular form of spinal tuberculosis to be behind. The diagnostic algorithm, being implemented from the initial stage of tuberculous osteitis formation, involves timely anti-tuberculosis treatment and correct management of patients, thereby making the basis for preventing the neurological disorders and disability of patients. The presented clinical cases indicate the advantage of an integrated approach in the diagnosis of this pathology in terms of establishing the tuberculous etiology of spondylitis.
“Rural teacher of the taxable part” or The activities of tax inspectors in the county
Authors: Vladimirova N. A.
Published: May 2024

This article tells about one of the difficult and important areas of activity of the local fiscal authority – tax inspectors – the process of working on salary fees from the peasant population. Tax inspectors were formed in the Russian Empire on April 30, 1885. Over time, their functions expanded and by the end of the XIX century, one of the most important duties of tax inspectors was to control the collection of taxes, including taxes from the peasant population. To that end, they travelled long distances to gather information about the peasant population, interacted with the local authorities of the Ministry of the Interior and even worked out the best measures to clear the gaps. Therefore, most of the time, inspectors assigned to work with the public, including explaining their rights and obligations in the area of taxation. They not only corresponded, but also had personal contacts with local county authorities and self-government. When the new draft law was issued, the inspectors should have explained it to the local authorities in a more accessible for understanding language. Moreover, they had to explain the tax law to the population as well. Thus, the work on salary fees required the tax inspectors to intensify their activities in the county and with the county local government and self-government, as well as with the population.
Aggressor and Victim in women's political discourse (on the example of the speeches of Laura Chinchilla Miranda)
Authors: Kushnereva D. A.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the features of constructing the image of “victim” and “aggressor” in the political speeches of the former President of the Republic of Costa Rica. The purpose of this study is to analyze the created “typology of victims and aggressors”, to determine the means of verbalization of these images, as well as to determine the manipulative strategies and tactics which are implemented by the speaker. The material was the speeches delivered by Laura Chinchilla during her presidency from 2010 to 2014; 12 speeches were analyzed in total. The relevance of the study is due to the low level of knowledge of such a phenomenon as the “victim-aggressor” dichotomy and its specific manifestations in terms of the speaker’s intentions within the framework of the female political discourse of Latin America. During the analysis it was possible to establish the specifics of the “victimization” process for Chinchilla’s speeches, as well as to identify three images of victims created by a politician (the country, women and the president herself), the contexts and methods that construct these images in political discourse, and a typology of “images of aggressors”. In particular, it was established that the goal of forming these images was the implementation of some tactics: cooperation, demarcation, presentation, self-presentation, rejection of criticism, accusation and denunciation.
“WHEN I LEAVE HERE AGAIN FOR MY HOMELAND”. REPATRIATION OF INGRIAN FINNS DISPLACED
TO FINLAND TO USSR IN 1944–1945 (BASED ON COLLECTION OF LETTERS FROM LENINGRAD REGION
STATE ARCHIVE IN VYBORG)
Authors: Moshnik Yu. I.
Published: May 2024

A valuable material for studying the history of resettlement in Finland and the
subsequent repatriation of the Ingrian Finns during the Second World War is provided by
sources of personal origin. In the collection of the Leningrad Region State Archive in
Vyborg, there is a collection of letters shedding light on the social and living
conditions of the displaced Ingrians, their families and friendships, interaction with
the authorities and the Finnish people, their moods and reactions to the events taking
place at the front and in international politics. These are letters in Russian and in
Finnish, as well as in the Ingrian dialect. Most of the documents in the collection
refer to the final stage of the Soviet-Finnish war of 1941–1944 and to the period after
the conclusion of the armistice, when the possibility of repatriating the Ingrians to
the USSR began to be discussed. The most important theme in the letters is homesickness
and discussions with relatives of the problem of returning. The documents eloquently
testify that many Ingrian settlers were never able to start a new life in Finland,
considered it a foreign country for themselves, persistently emphasized national
differences with the Finns, connection with Russian culture, and dreamed of returning
home.
BLOCKADE AND COMPUTER: “DIGITAL IMAGINATION” IN THE MEMORY OF THE GREAT PATRIOTIC
WAR IN THE 1980S?
Authors: Pavlovskiy A. F.
Published: May 2024

The article raises the problem of “digital imagination” in the cultural memory of
the Great Patriotic War and the blockade of Leningrad in the 1980s. Using the example of
the unfilmed screenplay of the documentary film Blockade and Computer (1983) by L.
Magrachev and E. Taluntis (perhaps the earliest example of digital memory of the Siege)
the author shows how the traditional discourse about the heroism and suffering of siege
survivors, the “Western falsification of history” and the “rational enemy” is refracted
into the screenwriters’ fantastic hypothesis of a supercomputer with which “imperialist
strategists” seek to code the “Leningrad heights of the human spirit” to scientifically
understand and defeat the Soviet man. The author concludes about the paradox of the
“digital imagination” of the memory of the war, in which a “smart machine” acting as an
analytical tool of the enemy is at the same time an effective tool to confirm the
“historical truth” about the Siege of Leningrad and to analyze its “absolute archive”.
At the same time, the author argues that, for all the strangeness of such an “imaginary
film”, it cannot be considered an anomaly, and in the early 1980s “digital imagination”
penetrated even the Party discourse of memory about the war.

Published: May 2024

Besin-ilaç etkileşimi; besinler, besin ögeleri ya da kişinin beslenme durumu ile herhangi bir ilaç arasında meydana gelen etkileşimlerdir. Dünyada görülme sıklığı %6 ile %70 arasında değişmektedir. İlaçlarda bulunan çeşitli maddeler kişinin beslenme durumunu etkileyebildiği gibi, besinlerde bulunan maddeler de ilacın aktivitesini etkilemekte, bu durum birey ve toplum sağlığını yakından ilgilendirmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı besin-ilaç etkileşimi konularında temel bilgileri açıklamak ve halk sağlığı yaklaşımıyla sorunları saptamak, çözüm önerileri geliştirmektir. Bu makale için; besin-ilaç etkileşimi ve halk sağlığı konuları hakkında bilimsel literatür bilgilerine Nisan ve Mayıs 2023 döneminde ulaşılmıştır. Ulusal ve uluslararası yayınlar incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla Türkçe ve İngilizce olarak “besin-ilaç etkileşimi”, “beslenme durumu”, “ilaç kullanımı” anahtar sözcükleri kullanılmıştır. Besin-ilaç etkileşimi, dört farklı mekanizmada, onlarca besin-ilaç arasında görülebilmekte, bu etkileşimlerin bir kısmı hayati tehlike oluşturabilmektedir. Antihipertansifler, warfarin, proton pompa inhibitörleri, antibiyotikler gibi günlük yaşamda sık kullanılan ilaçlar ve besin takviyeleri, besin-ilaç etkileşiminin önemli bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Etkileşimlerin nedenleri ise yapısal, sosyal, ekonomik ve ticari yönden birçok faktörle ilişkilendirilmiş olup, sağlığı yine bu faktörler aracılığıyla etkileyen bireysel ve toplumsal sonuçlara yol açtığı gösterilmiştir. Besin-ilaç etkileşimi açısından yaşlılık, gebelik dönemi, kronik hastalıklar, kanser hastaları gibi riskli dönem ve gruplar bulunmaktadır. Bireysel düzeyde oluşan risk ve tehditler toplumsal düzeyde de önemli sorunlara yol açabilmektedir. Besin-ilaç etkileşimlerinin yarattığı sorunları önleyebilmek için halk sağlığının primordial, primer, sekonder ve tersiyer korunma düzeyleri ile uyumlu adımlara ihtiyaç vardır. Kamu otoritelerinin alacağı toplumsal düzeyde önlemlerin yanı sıra bireyler arasında farkındalığın artırılması, ilgili bileşenlerin iş birliği, kanıta dayalı bilimsel araştırmaların geliştirilmesi gibi özel yaklaşımların da desteklenmesi önerilmektedir.
İSVİÇRE’DE YAŞAYAN TÜRKİYE KÖKENLİ GÖÇMEN KADINLARIN KRONİK HASTALIK DENEYİMİ: NİTELİKSEL BİR ÇALIŞMA
Authors: Bayram Tevfik , Sakarya Sibel
Published: May 2024

İsviçre’de, Türkiye kökenli göçmen kadınların daha fazla kronik hastalık yüküne sahip oldukları ve yeterli bakımı almada dezavantajlı oldukları bilinmektedir. Fakat bu popülasyonun deneyimlerini derinlemesine inceleyen sınırlı sayıda çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İsviçre’de yaşayan ve kronik hastalığı olan Türkiye kökenli kadınların İsviçre sağlık sistemi ile ilgili deneyimlerini derinlemesine incelemektir. Bern ve Cenevre şehirlerinde, maksimum varyasyon stratejisi kullanılarak, 18 yaşından büyük, kronik hastalığı olan Türkiye kökenli 12 ilk nesil göçmen kadınla derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Görüşmeler, kadın bir araştırıcı tarafından, Türkçe olarak gerçekleştirilmiş; biri hariç ses kaydı alınmış; ortalama 70 (45-103) dakika sürmüştür. Veriler Levesque’in sağlık hizmetlerine erişim modeli kullanılarak, tematik analiz ile değerlendirilmiştir. Görüşülen kişilerin yaş ortalaması 53,2 (42-71), İsviçre'de ortalama kalış süresi 23,5 yıldır (1,5-45). Çoğu (9/12) ilk veya ortaokul mezunudur; 11’inin çoklu kronik hastalığı bulunmaktadır (en sık kronik ağrı ve psikiyatrik bozukluklar). Kronik hastalığı olan Türkiye kökenli göçmen kadınların sağlık hizmetlerine erişimini etkileyen ana konular şöyle bulunmuştur: dil/kültür, toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri, damgalama/ayrımcılık; ve göçmenlik deneyimi/süresi. Türkiye kökenli göçmen kadınların, İsviçre sağlık sistemi ile ilgili deneyimlerinde, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğinin önemli ve olumlu bir tema olarak ortaya çıktığı görülmektedir. Öte yandan, olumsuz çalışma koşulları ve diğer sosyal faktörlerin kronik hastalığın ortaya çıkmasında belirleyici olduğu görünmektedir. Sağlık sorunlarının sağlık çalışanları tarafından sıkça sıla özlemi ile ilişkilendirilmesinin sağlık ihtiyaçlarının karşılanamamasına yol açtığı görünmektedir. Özellikle göçün ilk dönemlerinde dil bariyeri ve sisteme yabancılık nedeniyle sağlık sistemine erişimde önemli zorluklar yaşandığı görünmektedir. Bu nedenle, hem göçmen sağlığının korunması hem de hizmetlere erişimin iyileştirilmesi için yapılacak müdahalelerde, göçün ve hastalığın erken dönemleri öncelikli görünmektedir.

Authors: Orel O.V. , Ohniev V.A.
Published: May 2024

Background. According to the WHO, about 830 women die every day worldwide from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. In the recent years, Kharkiv region remains one of the problematic regions of adverse pregnancy outcomes according to the integrated assessment of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Against the backdrop of an unfavorable demographic situation, the problem of researching various aspects of the pregnancy period is becoming more and more urgent. Most of the complications that occur during pregnancy are considered from the side of general medical approaches, including hormonal disorders, infectious complications, immunological disorders, etc.

The aim of the work was to study and assess the influence of risk factors on pregnancy complications.

Materials and Methods. For the study, the pregnant women were distributed into two groups: the Main Group (MG) included 299 pregnant women who had complications during pregnancy, and the Control Group (CG) – 199 pregnant women with a normal pregnancy. The median (minimum; maximum) age was in MG was 32 (21; 44) years, in CG – 31 (24; 45) years (p>0.05). The median values of the pregnancy period during the survey were 28 weeks for the MG and 26 weeks for the CG (p>0.05).

Results and Conclusions. It was determined that biological, socio-economic and socio-psychological lifestyle factors have the greatest influence. The presence of diseases of the cardiovascular system (including hypertension) and diseases of the genitourinary system in a pregnant woman increased the risk of complications during pregnancy by 31.4 times in MG; and by 23.3 times – in CG. The presence of stress in everyday life and, as a result, the deterioration of the psychological state of the pregnant woman increased the chances of pathology of the course by 42.6 and 40.7 times, respectively. Low financial status of the family increased the risk by 16.5 times.

Keywords: pathology of pregnancy, preventable deaths of pregnant women, stress.

This study explores the synergies between marketing strategies, analytical insights, and consumer education in propelling electric vehicle (EV) adoption. We uncover intricate sales patterns in Türkiye’s EV sales data using advanced statistical models such as Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA), and Error, Trend, and Seasonality (ETS). Türkiye’s fully electric vehicle (FEV) sales value was estimated in the next five-year period using the ARIMA (4,1,4) model. According to the research results, the FEV sales rate in Türkiye is expected to increase by an average value of 58.2% in the next five-year period, and the annual sales amount, excluding Tesla, will be 17459. Findings underscore the efficacy of aligning marketing strategies with analytical insights, demonstrating the significance of education in shaping positive consumer attitudes. Education-driven marketing emphasizing economic benefits, reduced emissions, and technological advancements is a potent catalyst in overcoming adoption barriers. Digital campaigns, experiential marketing, and sustainability messaging, validated by our analysis, play pivotal roles in influencing consumer behavior. Strategic partnerships with energy companies address infrastructure challenges, while incentive-based marketing, personalized strategies, and after-sales support foster a sense of community and loyalty. This research contributes a holistic framework for marketers, policymakers, and stakeholders to navigate the evolving landscape of EV adoption successfully, providing actionable insights and paving the way for future research directions in sustainable transportation.

Authors: GRANDE Gaudencio , HIDALGO-REYES Martín , CRUZ Pedro , VELÁZQUEZ Noe
Published: May 2024

The main purpose of technological progress is to enhance the quality of human life. In agriculture, there has been a trend towards automating all stages of production processes. Transplanting seedlings is no exception, as it involves a repetitive and laborious process that demands significant time, depending on the extension to be transplanted. The objective of this review article was to analyze the evolution and technological development of automated transplanter prototypes by bibliometric analysis and a detailed review. Results show that the technological progress in this equipment is based on two main characteristics: (1) physical-mechanical properties of seedlings, which play a crucial role in component design, and (2) control and automation development. This means that efficiencies of over 90% and an error rate of less than 7.6% can be currently obtained for automated transplanter.

Published: May 2024

The management of inter-row space of vineyards and fruit trees has emerged as an essential approach in sustainable agriculture, optimizing resource use and improving ecosystem services. This paper reviews a range of innovative technologies and solutions aimed at revolutionizing line management practices. Modern sensing and monitoring systems provide real-time data on soil moisture, nutrient levels, and plant health, facilitating precision row-to-row management. Furthermore, techniques for grassing the space between rows of vines and fruit trees are important for space management, ensuring good air circulation and facilitating agricultural activities such as maintenance and harvesting. In addition, the advent of inter-row seeding machines simplified the implementation of cover crops. These machines use advanced seed delivery mechanisms, precisely distributing the cover seed into the spaces between the rows. This not only encourages soil health and erosion prevention but also mitigates weed competition, increasing the overall resilience of the agroecosystem. The purpose of this review is to discuss the combination of state-of-the-art technologies such as 3D LIDAR technology, intelligent systems used for inter-row management of vines and fruit trees, and inter-row solar panel systems, all these examples have revolutionized inter-row management in vineyards and orchards. This holistic approach optimizes resource allocation, improves soil health, and encourages sustainable agricultural practices, paving the way for greener and more resilient inter-row spaces in modern agroecosystems.

Authors: ZAIATS Victor , TYTOR Volodymyr
Published: May 2024

Introduction. Debt collection related to the common transit operation is one of the areas of international cooperation between the countries participating in the international transit system deployed in Europe. The article examines the process of determining in Ukraine guaranteed obligations to pay a debt that may arise in relation to goods placed under the common transit procedure in force in the European Union. The main attention is paid to the issue of the same interpretation and use of the term “debt” in the context of the provisions of acts of international and national legislation in relation to the common transit procedure. The existing legal basis for objectification/determination, verification and control by customs authorities of the amount of potential debt is analyzed. In the proposals formulated in this article, directions for improvement of domestic legislation are defined, which are important for the harmonization and development of the common transit procedure in Ukraine

The purpose of the article is to analyze the practice of determining the obligations secured by guarantees in the application of the common transit procedure and substantiating proposals for improving the process of determining, verifying and collecting the amounts of obligations secured by guarantees.

Methods. During the study, a comparative legal method was used when working out the norms of international and domestic legislation regarding the application of the common transit procedure, methods of analysis and synthesis regarding the aspects of determining obligations secured by guarantees during common transit.

Results. The process of joining Ukraine to the international transit system operating in the European Union and the use of financial guarantees to ensure the payment of debts related to the application of the common transit procedure is characterized. This made it possible to determine and propose the introduction of the same interpretation and use of the term “debt” in the context of the provisions of the acts of the current international legislation, as well as the creation of a legal basis for the objectification/determination, verification and control by customs authorities of the amount of the guarantee intended to cover the debt, in the case of applying the common transit procedure.

Perspectives. It is advisable to continue scientific research on the use of the common transit procedure in Ukraine, taking into account the need for improvement, in particular, mutual assistance in the collection of claims under the joint transit procedure, which will lead to the need to finalize the national legislation in terms of introducing the necessary debt collection mechanisms, the possibility of transferring debt collection from one country to another.

The electrical device fabricated by the Si-on-SiC substrate exhibits superior heat dissipation and minimal RF loss. However, a common challenge in hydrophilic direct bonding is the inevitable formation of bubbles at the Si/SiC interface, which compromises material utilization efficiency. To address this issue, a multi-bonding process was introduced in this research. Experimental findings revealed that this method effectively mitigated interfacial bubble formation, especially when incorporating a multi-step annealing–separating–bonding approach, yielding even more promising results. Ultimately, a bubble-free 3 × 3 cm2 Si-on-SiC substrate was fabricated. Material characterization techniques confirmed the high crystal quality and minimal surface roughness for the Si functional layer. Transmission electron microscopy further revealed the presence of an amorphous oxide layer (∼3.5 nm) at the interface, devoid of any defects or nanovoids. It is believed that with its excellent physical properties, Si-on-SiC will have a broader application prospect in extreme environments.

For scholars, mining data and extracting information from huge databases has emerged as an intriguing field of study. Since a few decades ago, the concept of using data mining techniques to extract information has been around. The dataset was originally intended to be partitioned and the inherent features examined using classification and clustering algorithms. They base their predictions on these characteristics. These forecasts have been made in the area of educational data mining for a variety of reasons, including to predict student success based on personal characteristics and help students find the right professors and courses. These goals have been drawn from the attrition and retention of students. These objectives are the focus of our research on student attrition and retention. Additionally, we have found exciting variables that aid in predicting students' success, suggesting the most qualified instructors, and assisting them in course selection.

En América Latina hoy en día es evidente una tendencia hacia incrementar la educación superior en turismo como parte de la profesionalización de los servicios. En México, el surgimiento en 1958 de la primera licenciatura en turismo es notable debido a que es uno de los programas universitarios más tempranos en toda Latinoamérica. Esta investigación analiza el surgimiento y expansión de los programas educativos públicos en el nivel superior, es decir, las licenciaturas en turismo en México, desde 1958 hasta 2021. El objetivo es conocer su evolución y analizar si su creación respondió al desarrollo de la actividad turística en el país. Para fines de este estudio se construyó una base de datos ad hoc y se realizó un análisis diacrónico de los programas de universidades públicas vigentes en México entre 1958 y 2021. Los 63 años del período estudiado se dividieron en tres apartados. El primero inicia en 1958 y concluye en 1980. El segundo comprende de 1981 al año 2000 y el último del 2001 hasta el 2021. Los resultados indican un aumento exponencial de licenciaturas en turismo a partir del 2000. Aunque las primeras licenciaturas fueron creadas en instituciones públicas y estuvieron fuertemente ligadas a la consolidación de destinos mexicanos como Acapulco y Puerto Vallarta, a partir de la década de 1990, esta alineación es menos clara, llegando incluso a desfases de 20 años entre la consolidación de destinos turísticos como Cancún y la creación de la primera licenciatura pública en turismo en Quintana Roo. La novedad es que muchas de estas licenciaturas ya no solamente incluyen enfoques económico-administrativos, sino que también contienen asignaturas de las ciencias sociales y ambientales, lo que evidencia un cambio en la enseñanza tradicional del turismo.
