Paleomagnetism of the phanerozoic sequences of the central part of the Central Asian fold belt
Authors: Kovalenko D. V. , Yarmolyuk V. V. , Kozlovsky A. M.
Published: June 2024

The article summarizes paleomagnetic data for Tuva, Mongolia and Eastern China, which showed that in the central part of the Central Asian fold belt, areas with different paleomagnetic characteristics are distinguished, these are areas located north of the Mongol-Okhotsk mobile belt, the western and eastern parts of the South Mongolia and Eastern China. The areas located north of the Mongol-Okhotsk mobile belt were part of the structure of the Siberian continent from the Ordovician and experienced movement similar to the Siberian continent. The regions of the western part of Southern Mongolia have been part of the structure of the Siberian continent since the late Carboniferous. The geological complexes of the eastern part of Southern Mongolia and the blocks of Eastern China in the Middle Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic were located in a latitudinal interval close to the North China block and experienced similar latitudinal movements and similar rotations. The large difference between the paleolatitudes of coeval strata in western and eastern Mongolia and Eastern China south of the Mongol-Okhotsk mobile belt suggests the existence of a tectonic boundary that separated blocks formed at paleolatitudes along the 107E meridian, close to Siberia and Northern China. To the west of the 107° longitude meridian, the paleolatitudes of formation of the Late Carboniferous–Permian strata are close to the paleolatitudes of Siberia, and to the east of the meridian — to the paleolatitudes of Northern China. The width of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean in the late Paleozoic–early Mesozoic was 30°–40° latitude (~3000–4000 km). The southern limit of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean was segmented and consisted of terranes of various genesis and structure. The closure of segments of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean occurred as a result of the collision of terranes with the Siberian continent during the period from the Late Carboniferous (in the west) to the Jurassic (in the east).

The article presents the results of the study of manifestations of modern geodynamic movements in the bottom structures of the White Sea (Baltic crystalline shield). Based on expeditionary work carried out in the White Sea, data were obtained on the formation of the seabed relief and the thickness of loose sediments under the influence of modern seismotectonic events and geodynamic movements, as well as long-term neotectonic processes. It is shown that the Kandalaksha Bay depression is a modern graben developing along faults activated in the Quaternary. Graben development continues to the northwest, where a new Quaternary structure is formed. Signs of manifestations of modern geodynamic movements have been identified. The role of disjunctive tectonics in the formation of slopes and tectonic structures transverse to the strike of the bay, morphologically represented by relief ridges cutting the SrednyLudy rise, located in Kandalaksha Bay, is shown. The influence of modern geodynamic processes on the distribution of thicknesses of Quaternary sediments of various genesis and the mosaic distribution of modern bottom sediments has been established. The influence of gravitational processes involved in the formation of underwater landslides, leading to the appearance of abnormally thick layers of loose sedimentary cover, has been studied.
The layered tectonics and mathematical modeling of geodynamic setting of the Fergana depression (Uzbekistan)
Authors: Atabekov I. U. , Sadykov Yu. M. , Mamarakhimov J. K.
Published: June 2024

The geodynamic features of the Fergana intermountain depression are the presence of a rift during meridional compression of the region and the discrepancy between the location of earthquake sources and the boundaries of heterogeneities in the layers of the earth’s crust. The first feature is solved using the ideas of multi-stage plate tectonics, which provides an additional opportunity to assess the oil and gas content of the basin. However, existing hypothetical tectonic schemes are not supported by mathematical calculations. To clarify these features, we have developed a mathematical model of the stress-strain state in relation to one of the cross sections of the Earth’s crust in the Fergana depression, which has a zonally inhomogeneous density structure. The results of the mathematical model show that the presence of blocks of different densities creates displacements under the influence of horizontal compressive stresses. It is also shown that the isolines of maximum tangential stresses are located close to the boundaries of inhomogeneous zones, which indicates the presence of large errors in determining earthquake hypocenters.
Viruses of the Ocean: On the Shores of the Aqua Incognita. Horizons of the Taxonomic Diversity
Authors: Khotimchenko Yu. S. , Shchelkanov M. Yu.
Published: June 2024

In recent years, marine viruses have evolved into a distinct branch of virology, yet they still represent a sort of “dark matter”, and their role and significance in the evolution and functioning of Earth's biosphere remain unclear. The widespread implementation of the primerless sequencing methods in routine laboratory practice has streamlined the development of marine virology from initial observations of virus-like particles in seawater, once deemed exotic, to comprehensive generalizations that reshape our understanding of global problems in the World Ocean. They include the continuous depletion of biological resources and diversity, marine pollution, and global climate change. Nevertheless, in terms of virology, the World Ocean remains a true aqua incognita, and marine virology, as a subset of general virology, and marine biology are just at the initial stages of their development, standing on the cusp of new discoveries. Those discoveries have the potential to reveal fundamental processes in the origin and evolution of life on Earth, accelerate the development of novel technologies, and even foster innovative approaches to reshaping the noosphere. The aim of this review is to draw scientific attention to the numerous problematic aspects of viruses in the World Ocean. It covers the main topics such as the current taxonomy of marine viruses, their role in marine ecosystems, the presence of viruses in marine species and related diseases, and the role of marine viruses in the context of global climate change, focusing on unexplored area and outlining directions for future research studies.
A Comparative Assessment of Content of a Number of Heavy Metals in Soft Tissues of Mytilus trossulus A. Gould, 1850, Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819 (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) and Their Hybrid Forms From Minonosok Bay of Peter the Great Bay (Sea of Japan)
Authors: Kavun V. Ya.
Published: June 2024

A comparative assessment of the content of Fe, Zn, Cu, Cd, Mn, Pb, and Ni in the soft tissues of bivalve mollusks Mytilus trossulus, M. galloprovincialis and their hybrid forms from Minonosok Bay of Peter the Great Bay (Sea of Japan) has been made. No significant differences in the accumulation of Fe and Cd in the tissues of all studied groups of mollusks were found. It has been shown that the hybrid forms of these species had more intensive growth, and against this background, they accumulated significantly lower concentrations of such metals as Cu, Mn, Pb and Ni in their soft tissues compared to the parental species. A significant negative correlation has been found between the accumulation of these metals in the tissues of mollusks and the length and weight of their shells and whole soft tissues. M. trossulus, which had a significantly lower weight of valves and soft tissues, differed from M. galloprovincialis in the accumulation of significantly higher concentrations of Zn, for which no relationship has been found between its content and all the studied size and weight characteristics. The conducted testing has not revealed any significant dependence of the accumulation of all studied metals, with the exception of Pb, in the tissues of mollusks on their condition index. The results obtained indicate the need to take into account the above features of the trace metal composition of the soft tissues of the studied species, when using them in monitoring environmental pollution with heavy metals.
Hematological Parameters of Black Scorpionfish Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus, 1758 under Experimental Hypothermia in vivo
Authors: Silkin Yu. A. , Silkina E. N. , Silkin M. Yu. , Vasilets V. E.
Published: June 2024

The linear dimensions of erythrocytes, their nuclei, the number of cells and hemoglobin in the blood of the black scorpionfish Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus, 1758 were studied in the autumn-winter period, at water temperatures of 17, 13, 8 and 4˚С. The results showed high and relatively equal hemoglobin content and the number of erythrocytes in the blood of black scorpionfish at 17 and 13˚C. However, the studied parameters values at a water temperature of 13˚С were taken as the physiological norm since this temperature more corresponded with the autumn temperatures of the Karadag coast. Lowering the water temperature in the aquarium to 8˚C reduced the hemoglobin level by 25% and the number of erythrocytes by 26% in the blood of S. porcus. The linear dimensions of erythrocytes did not change when the temperature dropped to 8˚C. At a temperature of 4˚C the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in the blood of S. porcus rapidly decreased by 57% and by 31% respectively, and swelling of erythrocytes was observed. The large diameter of red blood cells increased by 11%, and the small diameter by 25%. The linear dimensions of the nuclei of erythrocytes increased by 12% along the major and minor axes already at a temperature of 8˚С. At 4˚C, the nuclei of erythrocytes decreased in size, along the major axis by 7%, along the minor axis by 9%, indicating a disruption of the chromatin structure in the nuclear apparatus of the cell. The results obtained made it possible to carry out a clear gradation of the temperature resistance of S. porcus. At water temperatures below 8˚С, destructive processes occurred in the blood, indicating the exhaustion of protective reserves in this species of fish. The data obtained can be used in fish mariculture as indicators of resistance to temperature factors.

Obtaining a functional coating during the plasma-chemical synthesis of borides w-b systems on al₂o₃ substrate
Authors: Balakhonova D. I. , Nikolenko S. V.
Published: June 2024

The article presents the results of studies of an experimental coating obtained in the process of plasma synthesis of tungsten borides and the reduction of metallic tungsten, from a mixture obtained on the basis of a scheelite concentrate and a boron-containing material. The coating was formed on an Al₂O₃ substrate. The paper describes a step-by-step process of formation of tungsten borides on the substrate surface and reduction of metallic tungsten from oxide, using a high-temperature synthesis unit — a plasma generator. The formation of a coating on a substrate consisting of reduced metallic tungsten and borides of the W–B system proceeds in one technological stage in the process of condensation from the vapor-drop phase. To conduct a series of experiments, a prototype of an indirect plasma torch was developed with the generation of an electric arc plasma flow with a specific power g 10⁴–10⁵ W/cm2. In the process of high-temperature plasma flow exposure to the complex structures of the mineral concentrate and tungsten oxide included in its composition, destructurization and subsequent sublimation of the mixture material in the form of a vapor-drop phase occur. The synthesis of tungsten borides occurs in the process of chemical transformations, when the dispersed material is removed from the heated plasma flow, the formation of nucleating phases and condensation from the vapor droplet phase on the substrate surface. The synthesis process is also accompanied by a significant sublimation of boron from the compounds, which leads to the reduction of metallic tungsten. The material obtained in the course of plasma synthesis forms the W–B system and structures, the physicochemical properties of which depend on the mixture composition, flux density, plasma pressure and temperature. The results of a chemical analysis of particles forming a W–B coating on the surface of an Al₂O₃ substrate in the form of a solid solution of dendrite crystals are presented. In the course of X-ray spectral microanalysis, the phase composition of coating samples was determined, the presence of tungsten borides W₂B₅, WB₂, W₂B, WB and metallic tungsten were revealed. The results of research work on obtaining coatings or films based on the W–B system, using mineral multi-component raw materials, can be useful in various science-intensive industries, in the hydrometallurgical or chemical industries.
Psychological Aspects of Islamists’ Radicalization and Deradicalization
Authors: Kharitonova E. V.
Published: June 2024

The article deals with psychological aspects of the problem of radicalization and deradicalization of Islamists, with special attention paid to the situation with migrants. The problem is relevant in connection with the growing tension in the system of international relations, with the increasing probability of interfaith conflicts and terrorist threats, with the increasing number of migrants from Africa and the Middle East. The purpose of the study is to attract psychological and socio-psychological concepts for scientific understanding of the problem of radicalization, as well as for the development of methods of preventing violent and terrorist actions. The author proposes to consider radicalization both at the personal level and at the level of social interaction as a socially-determined phenomenon. At the personal level, social expectations, coping strategies as ways of coping with difficult life situations, as well as motivational factors and basic needs are considered. In accordance with A. Maslow’s pyramid of needs, radicalization at all levels is considered. The author presents ways to reorient needs using the methods of argumentation and negotiation. It is noted that the most difficult for deradicalization is the level related to the “idea”, ideology, meaning. When considering radicalization as a socially determined phenomenon, the question arises about social triggers of radicalization and about “induced” (or provoked) radicalization under conditions of hostile social and cultural environment, including alien value system and ethics. The author considers the “host community” as one of the triggers and even provoking factor of radicalization of immigrants and refugees. An analysis of ethnic (social) stereotypes and prejudices, as well as the concept of stigmatization is proposed. It is noted that stigmatization is based on negative stereotypes of perception of a person or social group, and identification of a person or group as deviant leads to prejudice and discrimination. The author concludes that from the point of view of social psychology, radicalization prevention work can include not only work with actual and potential Islamists, but also with the “receiving” society.

THE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL MODEL OF THE METHODOLOGICAL SYSTEM OF BLENDED LEARNING IN THE ASPECT OF MANAGERIAL INTERACTION
Authors: Manyakhina Valentina
Published: June 2024

The digital transformation of education makes significant changes in the educational environment and influences the pedagogical system which, in fact, becomes a blended learning system. In blended learning, there is a strong emphasis on personalization, which involves a greater degree of selfmanagement on the part of the learner. In this regard, the article deals with issues related to the management and manageability of a blended learning system. Based on the theory of evolutionary systems, simplified mechanisms of functioning (archetypes) of learning are considered that describe the interaction between the management of an educational institution and the student, the interaction of the teacher and the student, and the interaction of the student and the digital educational environment, and a complex mechanism of blended learning is built which is a composition of the listed learning archetypes. The article also discusses the relationship between the complex mechanism and the structural-functional model of blended learning and describes the levels of management of the pedagogical system of blended learning.

Authors: Sukhanova Natalya
Published: June 2024

The modern educational landscape, which is undergoing changes due to socio-cultural reasons, contributes to the development of projects aimed at improving the quality of thinking. This research is addressed to the program settings of the university course “Logic and Critical Thinking”. The methodological substantiation of the formal-logical approach to the consideration of the phenomenon of critical thinking is shown. The results obtained in the course of teaching, effective in terms of building critical thinking skills of students, are explicated. The purpose of the article is to analyze the pedagogical experience of working with the course materials on problematic subjects when studying judgment and the relationship of judgment and information. Attention is focused on the evolution of the concept of “critical thinking” and, during its transformation, the preservation of essential features indicating the identification of the features of judgment and the conjugacy of judgment with the analysis of information data. The author reveals the project participants’ own achievements in terms of reflexive comprehension of the difficulties of interpreting a judgment, which makes it possible to fix their cognitive connection to the conceptual apparatus of the discipline. It is concluded that immersion in the subtleties of thinking about judgment is of fundamental importance in the progression of critical thinking abilities and skillful handling of information, and also significantly enriches the picture of students’ ideas about language and cognition.

Zagadnienie skutków prawnych stwierdzenia nieuczciwości klauzul narzuconych oraz będącej jej następstwem bezskuteczności umowy jej zawierającej staje się szczególnie doniosłym zagadnieniem prawnym w dobie rosnącej liczby spraw kwestionujących ważność umów kredytowych denominowanych w obcej walucie. Sąd Najwyższy w wyroku z dnia 19 września 2023 r., II CSKP 1627/22 odszedł od dotychczasowej linii interpretacyjnej dotyczącej mechanizmu kontroli kredytowych postanowień narzucanych poprzez daleko idące zawężenie rozumienia wymogu transparentności, a przez to możliwości kontroli postanowień określających główne świadczenia. Poruszana w artykule materia dotyka wprost krytyki przedmiotowego orzeczenia w oparciu o prezentację treści wymogu transparentności stworzonego na gruncie dyrektywy 93/13/EWG, której cele muszą być uwzględniane każdorazowo przy dokonywaniu wykładni prawa kraju członkowskiego. Głównym celem artykułu jest podkreślenie, iż w ramach interpretacji zasada transparentności powinna być rozumiana szeroko jako dotykająca wielu różnych przypadków nietransparentnych klauzul. W tej perspektywie przedstawiona zostaje analiza lingwistyczna transparentności zawierająca się w takich aspektach jak jasność, zrozumiałość oraz jednoznaczność. Analiza prawna przedstawiona w oparciu o wytyczne opinii oraz dorobek doktryny prawa polskiego i niemieckiego koncentruje się na odpowiednich wytycznych kierunkowych w zakresie kształtowania porządku prawnego państw członkowskich zmierzających do zapewnienia należytej efektywności postanowień dyrektywy 93/13/EWG. Otwierając drogę dla szerokiego rozumienia zasady transparentności na gruncie dyrektywy orzecznictwu sądów państw członkowskich pozostawione zostaje zadanie oceny konkretnych przypadków nietransparentności postanowień narzuconych, a w rezultacie uznania ich bezskuteczności.
Defining long words succinctly in FO and MSO
Authors: Hella Lauri , Vilander Miikka
Published: June 2024

We consider the length of the longest word definable in FO and MSO via a formula of size n. For both logics we obtain as an upper bound for this number an exponential tower of height linear in n. We prove this by counting types with respect to a fixed quantifier rank. As lower bounds we obtain for both FO and MSO an exponential tower of height in the order of a rational power of n. We show these lower bounds by giving concrete formulas defining word representations of levels of the cumulative hierarchy of sets. For the two-variable fragment of FO we obtain quadratic lower and upper bounds for the definability numbers of quantifier rank k fragments. In addition, we consider the Löwenheim–Skolem and Hanf numbers of these logics on words and obtain similar bounds for these as well.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND:

Visual vertigo occurs after vestibular and non-vestibular pathology and can be present in children and adolescents. It can be assessed by “the Visual Vertigo Analogue Scale” (VVAS), a questionnaire with a Portuguese version for adults.

OBJECTIVES:

To perform the adaptation to pediatric age and validation of VVAS in European Portuguese.

METHODS:

This prospective study involved the pediatric adaptation of the Portuguese VVAS, according to recognized guidelines. It was then completed by 30 healthy controls and 18 children with vestibulopathy. Patient caregivers also completed the Dizziness Handicap Inventory - Patient Caregivers (DHI-PC) to further explore the link between questionnaires. Groups were compared for severity of visual vertigo and VVAS test-retest reliability was tested.

RESULTS:

The VVAS score was significantly higher in vestibular group ( p < 0.001). No statistically significant differences were found between VVAS initial and re-test scores ( p = 0.33). VVAS severity scores showed a positive correlation with DHI-PC (r = 0.598, p = 0.009).

CONCLUSION:

The present Pediatric adaptation of VVAS in European Portuguese shows good psychometric properties for the assessment of visual vertigo. A positive correlation with the DHI-PC was showed, establishing the potential use of both questionnaires in the evaluation of vertigo children.
SHARIA ECONOMIC LAW ANALYSIS OF MUD BATHING IN TIKTOK LIVE AS ONLINE BEGGING (MAQASHID SYARIAH APPROACH)
Authors: Masyithoh Luthfiyah Dewi , Amrah Dwi Putra , Musthofa Imron
Published: June 2024

The phenomenon of live mud bathing content on TikTok has stirred controversy, being perceived as a manifestation of online begging. TikTok’s live streams attract significant viewership, allowing some participants to earn substantial sums in a single session. However, this practice raises ethical concerns and conflicts with the principles of Maqashid Sharia, particularly in upholding human dignity and avoiding harm. This study aims to systematically analyze the issue through the perspectives of Sharia Economic Law and Maqashid Sharia. The research synthesizes relevant references from scholarly books and journals using a literature review methodology. The analysis indicates that live mud bathing content on TikTok primarily results in financial losses rather than benefits for Indonesian viewers. Furthermore, the study proposes recommendations for the Minister of Religious Affairs to ensure that TikTok content in Indonesia adheres to educational standards and local regulations. The novelty of this research lies in its application of Sharia Economic Law and Maqashid Sharia principles to analyze a contemporary digital ethics issue. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic jurisprudence and digital media ethics by critically evaluating the ethical dimensions of live mud bathing on TikTok. The findings underscore the need for regulatory measures and moral guidelines to mitigate the negative impact of such content, ensuring alignment with societal values and religious principles.

Published: June 2024

Investment is a compelling topic, especially in the capital market context. In Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world, the Islamic capital market plays a significant role in economic development under Sharia economic law. However, many Muslim investors still use conventional investment accounts, indicating a gap in understanding and adherence to Sharia principles. This study aims to examine the behavior of Muslim investors in making investment decisions based on Sharia principles and the factors influencing these decisions. This research employs a literature review method, with data from various journals, books, documentation, and internet sources over the past five years. The findings reveal that perceived behavioral control significantly influences investor decision-making, and attitudes toward perceived risk also impact investment decision-making. This study identifies a gap in the literature regarding Muslim investors' understanding of Islamic investment products and contributes new insights by integrating behavioral investment analysis with adherence to Sharia principles. These findings are expected to provide practical recommendations for developing the Islamic capital market in Indonesia and enhance Muslim investors' awareness and understanding of the importance of Sharia-compliant investments under Sharia economic law.
Analysis of phase equilibria in liquid chromomanganese steel in the presence of calcium. Report 3. Phase equilibria in the system Fe–Ca–Cr–Mn–C–O (high-alloy steel)
Authors: Makrovets L. A. , Bakin I. V. , Kalyaskin A. V.
Published: June 2024

The quantity and morphology of non-metallic inclusions (NI) in structural steels have a significant impact on the performance properties of metal products. The chemical and phase composition of the resulting NIs depend on the composition of the steel and the content of impurity elements in it, which in turn is determined by the characteristics of the technological process at a particular enterprise. In this work, phase equilibria are studied in systems for which deoxidation processes of high-alloy steel are realized, i.e. in melts with a high (10–13%) content of chromium and manganese. Based on a thermodynamic analysis of the interaction processes of oxygen, chromium, manganese, calcium and carbon in iron, the solubility surfaces of components in liquid metal (SSCM) were constructed. Analysis of the data obtained suggests that the main NIs in this case should be solid oxides CaO and MnO with a small amount of FeO, as well as solid solutions of spinels. For steels with a chromium content of 13% and higher, there is a possibility of calcium chromite and Cr3O4 formation. At a carbon concentration of 1% and a high chromium concentration (10 and 13%), the formation of a CO-based gas phase is possible. In the absence of stronger deoxidizers, the oxygen content in the melt remains high (100–200 ppm or more), which is unacceptable in the industrial production of products from this type of steel. To obtain high-quality metal products from high-alloy steels, it is necessary to use stronger deoxidizing agents (for example, aluminum) or special technological methods, such as vacuum melting

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND Despite the prevalence of cardiovascular complications in hemodialysis (HD) patients, routine screening for asymptomatic individuals remains underexplored in clinical practice, particularly beyond those assessed for kidney transplantation. This study aimed to investigate echocardiographic changes in prevalent HD patients, irrespective of symptomatic presentation.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS A prospective, single-center study spanning 36 months included 79 HD patients. Grouping was based on cardiac symptomatology assessed with the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification: group 1 comprised 18 asymptomatic patients (NYHA class I), while group 2 included 61 patients with moderate cardiac symptoms (NYHA classes II and III). Routine laboratory analyses, miRNA 133, hydration, and nutritional parameters were assessed, with echocardiography performed a day post-HD.

RESULTS Demographic data, HD quality, blood pressure, therapy, and most echocardiographic indicators showed no significant differences. Asymptomatic patients exhibited noteworthy cardiac structural and functional abnormalities: 55.5% had left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and 72.2% had increased left atrial volume index (LAVi). Concentric hypertrophy was observed in 7/18 asymptomatic patients, while 15/61 symptomatic patients demonstrated concentric left ventricle remodeling. In comparison to group 2, group 1 displayed higher hemoglobin, uric acid, and miRNA 133 concentrations, along with better hydration control and higher lean tissue index. All these dependent variables show statistically significant relation to the NYHA: approximately 13% of the variance in Hb levels and 18% of the variance in miRNA can be explained by NYHA classification.

CONCLUSION This study advocates for routine echocardiographic and cardiac examinations for all HD patients from the treatment's onset, irrespective of symptoms. Maintaining optimal volume, nutrition, urate concentrations, and hemoglobin is crucial for comprehensive cardiac care in this population. Additionally, exploring whether interventions targeting these non-cardiac factors could alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life in symptomatic HD patients would be worthwhile.
The Impact of Tax Revenue on Macroeconomic Variables: A Case Study from Palestine
Authors: Samarah Wisam A. , Talalweh Mohammad A.
Published: June 2024

Taxes are a vital component of fiscal policy. Governments use tax revenues to either stimulate or slow down an economy. The purpose of this paper is to examine the cause-and-effect relationship between taxes and inflation, Real GDP, Real GDP Per Capita, and unemployment for the State of Palestine. The data was collected from the Palestinian Monetary Authority, covering the period from 1996 to 2022. A time series analysis was conducted to measure the cause-and-effect relationship. The results indicated that taxes are positively significant for both Real GDP and Real GDP Per Capita. This finding helps policymakers in determining the impact of tax revenue on the Palestinian economy, especially since Israel controls some of the collection of tax revenues. Meanwhile, taxes were not significant for either inflation or unemployment.

Measuring complexity in multidimensional systems with high degrees of freedom and a variety of types of information, remains an important challenge. Complexity of a system is related to the number and variety of components, the number and type of interactions among them, the degree of redundancy, and the degrees of freedom of the system. Examples show that different disciplines of science converge in complexity measures for low and high dimensional problems. For low dimensional systems, such as coded strings of symbols (text, computer code, DNA, RNA, proteins, music), Shannon’s Information Entropy (expected amount of _information_ in an event drawn from a given distribution) and Kolmogorov‘s Algorithmic Complexity (the length of the shortest algorithm that produces the object as output), are used for quantitative measurements of complexity. For systems with more dimensions (ecosystems, brains, social groupings), network science provides better tools for that purpose. For complex highly multidimensional systems, none of the former methods are useful. Useful Information Φ, as proposed by Infodynamics, can be related to complexity. It can be quantified by measuring the thermodynamic Free Energy F and/or useful Work it produces. Complexity measured as Total Information I, can then be defined as the information of the system, that includes Φ, useless information or Noise N, and Redundant Information R. Measuring one or more of these variables allows quantifying and classifying complexity.

BACKGROUND: Nigeria has approved 50% coverage of text and images of pictorial health warning labels (PHWLs) on packages of cigarettes and other tobacco products such as cigars, smokeless tobacco, and loose tobacco. While there is knowledge on the extent to which LMICs like Nigeria adopt the WHO Framework Convention of Tobacco Control (FCTC), there is need to examine the compliance with adopted packaging and labeling policies to generate knowledge for strengthening existing policies and efforts at enforcement. We assessed agreement with FCTC regulations as well as compliance with Nigerian requirements which are not adequate and do not effectively capture all FCTC requirements to identify the gaps being explored by these companies in an environment of poor regulation in Lagos, Nigeria.

METHODS: This descriptive study was conducted in Lagos State, Nigeria, from October 2022 to January 2023. A multistage random sampling method was utilized. Four local government areas (LGAs) with a combined population of 16 million, accounting for 70% of the population in Lagos, Nigeria were selected while three points‑of‑sale were randomly picked from two selected wards in each LGA. Empty discarded packs of cigarette and other tobacco products were collected from these outlets. The pack dimensions were measured and assessed for PHWLs, health warning manipulations and cessation assistance. Findings were assessed for compliance with the FCTC and national legislation. For each compliance feature, we calculated the frequencies and percentages of the packs that were compliant.

RESULTS: 704 packs: 434 packs of 22 cigarette brands and 270 packs of 17 different tobacco products including cigars, snuff and loose tobacco were included in the study. Of 434 cigarette packs assessed, 50.3% were compliant with 9 indicators measured. These ranged from 48.8% to 55.5% for individual brands. For cessation assistance, image variability and image manipulation, compliance was 0% across all cigarette packs. Out of 270 tobacco product packs assessed, 10.6% were compliant with the 9 indicators assessed. Of the 12 multinational parent companies and product distributors assessed, the overall level of compliance among them was 24.9%. Level of compliance was noted to very low for companies involved in marketing other tobacco products, ranging from 0% to 20% but moderate for those marketing cigarettes, ranging from 37% to 55.5%. Companies that had no presence or subsidiaries in Nigeria but only export their products were highly non-compliant.

CONCLUSIONS: Tobacco companies had low compliance with PHWL on cigarettes and negligible compliance on other tobacco products like cigars, loose and smokeless tobacco. The government should expand and strictly enforce all regulations applying to health warnings, especially on non-cigarette tobacco products and closely monitor companies that merely export their products to the country.

The present paper investigates the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Human Resources Management (HRM) functions such as recruitment, training, and performance management. AI can improve recruitment procedures, train and develop employees, and optimize performance management by offering more accurate feedback. However, it also emphasizes issues like data privacy and security, employment displacement, and the necessity for human oversight and accountability. The paper discusses the implications for the workforce, organizations, and society, as well as future research to address these issues, ensure human oversight, address social and economic inequalities, improve AI training and development programs, and create more effective AI governance frameworks. The study employs a methodical approach to literature review. The chosen journal articles are grouped according to HRM and AI that are taken from the body of existing literature. According to the paper, AI has the potential to significantly change how human resource management practices are carried out in the future. but its implementation must be subject to responsible and ethical governance and regulation to maximize its benefits and mitigate its negative impacts.

Abstrak
Kawasan Wisata The New Kemukus atau biasa orang sebut Kawasan Gunung Kemukus terletak di Kabupaten Sragen, Jawa Tengah. Pengembangan Kawasan tersebut merupakan bagian terintegrasi Destinasi Super Prioritas Nasional Borobudur dan sebagai bagian dari Kawasan Strategis Pariwisata Nasional (KSPN) Solo – Sangiran. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan banyaknya wisatawan domestik dan mancanegara untuk berwisata dikarenakan keunikan wisata religi dan alam. Dampak yang terjadi akibat banyaknya wisatawan adalah persampahan. Permaslahan tersebut mengakibatkan pengelolaan sampah harus dengan bantuan masyarakat lokal. Partisipasi masyarakat lokal dalam pengelolaan sampah sangat tergantung pada kepedulian dan kemauan masyarakat untuk meningkatkan kualitas lingkungan yang baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan 1) Mengetahui faktor penghambat partisipasi masyarakat lokal terhadap pengelolaan sampah serta kepedulian dan pemahaman masyarakat terhadap pengelolaan sampah dalam pengembangan Kawasan Gunung Kemukus. 2) Mengetahui peta sebaran sampel lokasi aspek penghambat partisipasi tersebut. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan kuesioner dan wawancara yang dibagikan kepada 20 responden. Hasil penelitian menyebutkan bahwa seluruh aspek penghambat partisipasi dikarenakan  Pengetahuan mengenai sampah yang rendah, kontribusi masyrakat mengenai pengelolaan sangat tinggi, aspek perorganisasian masyarakat peduli terhadap lingkungan yang rendah, dan aspek sikap responden jika melihat terjadinya pengrusakan lingkungan akhibat sampah sangat tinggi. Untuk peta sebaran sampel lokasi aspek penghambat partisipasi menggunakan aplikasi ARCGIS 10.8 dengan metode tracking poin Kawasan Wisata.

Зміни постави дітей дошкільного віку в процесі фізичної реабілітації
Authors: Коломієць Тетяна
Published: June 2024

Резюме. Кількість дітей з порушеннями постави постійно зростає. Є три «критичні» періодирозвитку дитини, коли вона особливо вразлива до ураження постави, а саме: вставання,початок відвідування школи та вік статевого дозрівання. Порушення постави зустрічаютьсяне тільки у дітей шкільного віку, а й дошкільного віку, який збігається з критичними періо-дами росту і розвитку. Їх можна знайти в усіх сегментах хребта, тулуба та нижніх кінцівок.Сучасний спосіб життя є найпоширенішою причиною порушення постави. Діти менше зай-маються фізичною активністю і проводять більше часу сидячи та лежачи. Такі звички суттє-во знижують більшість їхніх фізичних і функціональних можливостей, а слабкість певних групм’язів, особливо мускулатури черевного преса, або надмірне та одностороннє навантажен-ня на певні м’язи може спричинити різноманітні розлади в хребті, грудній клітці, верхніх абонижніх кінцівках. Мета. Визначити зміст засобів контролю стану біогеометричного профілюпостави дітей п’яти–шести років у процесі фізичної реабілітації в умовах закладів дошкіль-ної освіти для своєчасної корекції її порушень.
