Tanulmányunkban egy olyan kutatási projektet mutatunk be, amelyben egy aktorokhoz (pl. intézményekhez, személyekhez) kapcsolódó, szentimentek és konkrét érzelmek klasszifikációjára képes nyelvi modell létrehozása a célunk. A modell tanítóadatbázisát egy tízezer cikkből álló, online újságokból származó, statisztikai mintavétel segítségével összeállított, humán annotált szövegkorpusz jelenti. Az annotálás során két lépcsőben először az előforduló névelemeket, illetve aktorként funkcionáló közneveket, majd ezt követően a névelemek szövegkörnyezetében megtalálható szentiment- és érzelmi tölteteket annotáljuk. Az annotált szövegek adatbázisa jó bemeneti adatot jelenthet felügyelt klasszifikációs modellek létrehozásához. Cikkünkben ismertetjük a projekt korpuszát, a felügyelt és nem felügyelt szövegklasszifikációs eljárások sajátosságait, valamint a szentiment- és érzelemdetektálás lehetséges módszereit. Ezt követően bemutatjuk a kutatásunkban alkalmazott kétlépcsős annotálási módszertant, az ennek kialakítása során felmerült problémákat és kihívásokat, illetve azokat a kutatói döntéseket, amelyeket a létrehozni kívánt modell társadalomtudományos felhasználhatóságának érdekében hoztunk meg.
ПРОБЛЕМА КАДРОВОГО ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ПРОМИСЛОВИХ ТРЕСТІВ УКРАЇНИ В ПЕРІОД НЕПу (1921-1929 РР.)
Authors: Коцур Віктор , Хмельницька Людмила
Published: June 2023

У статті на основі архівних джерел та наявного історіографічного доробку розглянуто ряд аспектів виникнення, загострення та вирішення більшовицькою владою проблеми належного кадрового забезпечення промислових трестів України у період впровадження нової економічної політики (1921–1929 рр.). Наголошено на актуальності цього дослідницького напрямку із огляду на соціальні запити сучасного українського суспільства в отриманні історичного досвіду, щодо використання альтернативних методів відродження повоєнної промисловості за рахунок інструментів ринкової економіки, апробованих світовою практикою. Автори наголошують на, тому що дана проблема окреслена в історіографії досить побіжно та формалізовано, з відверто упередженими ідеологічними наративами, а отже є перспективною та актуальною для її подальшого висвітлення, беручи до уваги загальну доступність архівних джерел, які довгий час перебували, поза межами дослідницького сегменту.
Автори стверджують, що із впровадженням непу та оптимізацією промисловості трести, які розміщувалися в Україні відчули гостру потребу у кваліфікованих, добре обізнаних із виробничими циклами, спеціалістах, які б у стислі терміни змогли б відновити процеси на виробництві, оптимізувавши їхні можливості з орієнтацією на запити ринку. Також, авторами наголошено, що одним із визначальних критеріїв підбору кадрів в умовах встановлення тоталітарного режиму була їх політична лояльність владі та соціальна приналежність. В той же час, підготувати нових фахівців у відповідності до більшовицького стандарту та в той же час володіючих знаннями, потрібними для функціонування підприємств в умовах непу, влада не могла. В статті акцентована увага на тому, що всі дореволюційні власники підприємств та кваліфіковані досвідчені інженерно-технічні кадри були усунуті радянською владою від сфери управління, як ворожі класові елементи та потенційні «шкідники» радянського майна. Така позиція влади проявилась у фатальних наслідках економічних прорахунків та низки волюнтаризьких рішень керівників із надійною більшовицькою біографією. Тоді як спеціалісти високого рівня із дореволюційним минулим були зараховані до категорії неблагонадійних. Країну охопила загальна судова практика із покарання винних у прорахунках «спеців» із старих кадрів.
Отже, у даній науковій розвідці наголошено на тому, що проблема забезпечення кадрами промислових підприємств набула в період непу чималого розмаху та вирішувалась більшовицькими методами в основі яких лежали ідеологічні підходи, а не професійні критерії. Автори зазначають, що із переходом до нової економічної політики, випадки переслідування дореволюційних фахівців почастішали у зв'язку із зростанням вимог до робітників із боку спеціалістів. Проте такі підходи лише прискорювали процес згортання непу та наростання потужностей тоталітарного режиму.

A concert performance is a special form of activity on stage of a future music teacher. This type of professional activity has its own regularities that must be considered not only during the preparation period of the concert, but also in the process of working on a piece of music. Students of higher education and teachers should consider the specific peculiarities of thinking and specialties in behavior during activities on stage and peculiarities in the creation of the performance form of a musical work precisely during preparation for the performance. Understanding these phenomena will contribute to successful achievement of artistic goals in the process of activity on stage, professional development of the future specialist as a whole and will help prevention and coping stage stress, the path of which is multifaceted and complex. Working with stage stress, in most cases, should be built based on individual approach to the development of stage reflection, creation of positive psychological attitude, formation of constructive skills, a creative and positive attitude to extreme situations. The very necessity of overcoming stage stress became the key to determining the paths of formation of readiness for activity on stage in the process of instrumental training of future music teachers as it allowed to find new resources of qualitative basis for improving executive training in accordance with modern requirements. After all, psycho-emotional states often become an obstacle to performance excellence during a concert performance.

Published: June 2023

Today, the educational process of higher educational institutions of Ukraine is undergoing changes and needs innovations. Recently, due to the transition to distance learning, the introduction of martial law, aerial alarms and unstable Internet connection, teachers and students must learn to quickly adapt to the relevant situations and continue to carry out online educational activities at a high level. With the transition to distance learning, the implementation of mobile learning has become relevant, which involves the use of mobile and portable devices (phones, laptops, tablets) for teaching and learning. Among all of them, it is worth noting mobile phones, because modern smartphones satisfy the basic needs for carrying out educational activities. The article examines mobile applications in the process of learning the discipline «Higher Mathematics». The following applications were selected and analyzed: Maxima, MatrixCalculator, IntroStat, Maple Calculator, Mathematics, PhotoMath. The indicators for the analysis were the ability to work offline, free of charge and support for the Android system. Applications were analyzed for solving problems from the discipline «Higher Mathematics»: calculation of matrices and determinants, statistical processing, construction of graphs of functions, differential and integral calculus, calculation of limits of numerical sequences and solving equations. It was established that the Maxima and Mathematics applications correspond to absolutely all indicators. Among all mobile applications, the Maxima application was chosen. With the help of Maxima, students do not automatically fill in numerical values to solve the problem, but use special operations to enter data. This guarantees awareness and independent solving of problems, rather than mechanical writing off ready-made calculations. The article demonstrates the practical use of the corresponding application in solving problems from the discipline «Higher Mathematics». Key words: educational process, higher educational institutions, mobile learning, mobile applications, higher mathematics.

Authors: Ferreira Maria Eduarda , Giovanini Adilson , Bertolini Ligia Baechtold , Walcanaia Daniela
Published: June 2023

O avanço das tecnologias digitais proporciona plataformas sob demanda que reduzem os custos de transporte dos servidores públicos. Essas iniciativas são suscetíveis à ação de agentes oportunistas, sendo necessário identificar as ferramen-tas que podem ser utilizadas para as proteger da atuação desses agentes. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar se os princí-pios de design sugeridos por Ostrom contribuem para a utilização de modo sustentável do TáxiGov, uma plataforma de trans-porte sob demanda desenvolvida pelo Governo Federal brasileiro. O método empregado é a pesquisa documental e a elabo-ração de um questionário com base nos princípios de design. Os resultados mostram que a presença de instrumentos de monitoramento e de controle do acesso, a imposição de punições aos agentes que não obedecem às regras e a complementa-ção da gestão com regras definidas pelos órgãos públicos locais são alguns dos instrumentos que contribuem para a proteção contra a atuação de agentes maliciosos.

Authors: Vilela Toé Leonardo
Published: June 2023

Apresenta-se neste artigo uma crítica à forma como são construídos os orçamentos corporativos de vendas a partir do modelo utilizado e seus resultados. Foi analisado um método consagrado de orçamentação de vendas utilizado por uma instituição financeira brasileira. Tal método baseia-se em (i) histórico de performance (ven-das), coletiva e individual; (ii) estudos de mercado; (iii) potencial de clientes e (iv) capacidade produtiva insta-lada. A seguir, comenta-se as condições objetivas em torno destes fatores. A análise foi baseada nos resultados de entrevistas realizadas com gestores de três unidades de atendimento a pessoas físicas de alta renda. Foram encontrados três achados relevantes: (i) os orçamentos de vendas induzem os mais diversos tipos de comporta-mentos, desejáveis e indesejáveis. (ii) há um descompasso entre o que a alta gestão especifica em termos de expectativa de vendas e o que os agentes efetivamente realizam, podendo gerar prejuízos na avaliação destes agentes; e (iii) a etapa de participação é negligenciada e mesmo inexistente exatamente no nível das pessoas que realmente conduzem as metas. Busca-se com esse estudo promover a discussão acerca da condição atual de peças orçamentárias orientadas a vendas, fornecendo diretrizes úteis para a implementação de novos modelos orçamentários em que a participação, a democratização da informação, a experiência de superiores e o feedback consistente poderão ser aproveitados no interesse da própria instituição, com ganhos de flexibilidade e legitimi-dade.

Correlation of mediation as an alternative way to protect civil rights and interests and tort liability
Authors: Horislavska Inna
Published: June 2023

The trends and challenges of modern society stimulate a review of the features and characteristics that define law as a set of social norms and shape its image through the provision of legal norms either with means of coercion, or by encouraging the use of other, alternative methods. Changes of a global nature, which are connected not only with the war in Ukraine, are accompanied by alternative methods of protecting the rights of participants in civil relations. The purpose of this study was to establish the legal and scientific and practical principles of the mediation procedure as one of the alternative ways of protecting civil rights and interests. Philosophical, specifically hermeneutic, and general scientific methods of scientific cognition (generalization, logical, praxeological, prognostic and modelling, as well as bibliographic) were used in this study. Special legal methods were also applied: formal legal and comparative legal. Modern positions in the understanding of legal categories, such as civil protection and civil liability and the influence of modern conditions of society on them, have been established. Various approaches to the mediation procedure were presented, and the prerequisites for its occurrence in Ukraine and the world were revealed. The study investigated how the categories “protection of civil rights and interests”, “tort liability”, and “mediation” interact. The modern trends of the civil doctrine regarding the protection of civil rights and interests were examined, the specific features of tortious liability and the possibility of introducing the principles of restorative justice regarding the protection of violated property rights were covered. The legal and practical bases of the application of mediation were determined, the advantages of its application in various spheres of social relations were established. The study analysed the judicial practice regarding the procedure for stopping proceedings in a case due to transfer of the dispute to mediation. The given materials and research results can be used in practical activities by participants in civil legal relations for further scientific research, as well as mediators, teachers, students of various educational degrees, representatives of state authorities and local self-government bodies.

Authors: Piddubny Oleksii , Deineha Maryna
Published: June 2023

The relevance of the subject under study is conditioned upon the rapid and active development of the biotechnological area. This segment of the economy and science requires not only comprehensive preliminary work, but also further legal protection of the interests of inventors and society. The development of biotechnologies regulates not only the present, but also the prospects for the future. But it is important to harmonize the use of biological processes to avoid a biological catastrophe. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible legal instruments for limiting the patent-protected powers of subjects of intellectual property law to guarantee biological safety. The following methods were used to collect, process, and present information in this paper: general scientific (formal-logical, analysis and synthesis, comparison, induction and deduction, systematization) and special-legal methods (formal-legal, comparative-legal). This study considered the possibility of limiting the rights granted to the subjects of patenting to guarantee biological safety. International and Ukrainian legislation was analysed in the aspect of patenting biotechnological achievements, compulsory patenting and restrictions on the rights of patenting subjects. The legal nature of biotechnologies as objects of intellectual property rights was identified. Legal measures to restrict the patent-protected powers of subjects of intellectual property rights were highlighted. Attention was drawn to the legal consolidation of the resolution of controversial issues in the field of patenting of biotechnological inventions according to the criteria of ethics and morality. The need to improve the national legislation governing issues of biotechnological research considering the principle of sustainable development, according to which social and ecological aspects should be recognized as a priority, was substantiated. The importance of this study is reinforced by the increased demand for biotechnologies, which leads to certain legal actions related to their protection. The present paper will be useful for scientists in the field of law, medicine, and bioengineering.

Published: June 2023

The study of the animal body and its morphoarchitectonics is a priority area for the successful development of animal husbandry. The purpose of the study is to establish the macroscopic structure of the lungs and provide an organometric assessment of their morphological structures in domestic sexually mature animals. The study used 30 clinically healthy individuals of 6 animal species belonging to the class Mammalia – Mammals. According to the results of the morphometry analysis of absolute and relative lung values in domestic mammals and their right and left lobes, a pronounced asymmetry was established, the coefficient of which corresponded to: in rabbits – 1:1.30, in dogs – 1:1.33, in sheep – 1:1.37, in pigs – 1:1.34, in cattle – 1:1.37, in horses – 1:1.2. For morphological assessment of typical lung features characteristic of a particular animal species, a morphological scale of marker features of the organ is proposed. According to the results of the study, it is proposed to classify the lungs of domestic mammals, considering the structure and shape, into 4 types: 1st – expanded-shortened (lung development index (LDI) = 85– 100%); 2nd –intermediate (LDI = 101–120%); 3rd – moderately elongated (LDI = 121–130%); 4th – elongated (LDI = 131–140%). Based on a detailed analysis of organometric studies, a scale for assessing marker features of the lung is proposed – in rabbits (LDI = 90 ± 1.89%) assigned to the extended-shortened type, in cattle (LDI=117±2.21%) and sheep (LDI=114±2.08%) – intermediate type, in horses (LDI = 127 ± 2.74%) – moderately elongated type, in pigs (LDI = 136 ± 3.01%) and dogs (LDI = 137 ± 2.84%) – elongated type. The obtained results of morphological studies of the lungs of the representatives of the mammalian class are of practical importance in biology and veterinary medicine since they are marker signs of their morphofunctional state and criteria for pathomorphological diagnosis of respiratory diseases

Published: June 2023

To evaluate the quality and safety of fish and seafood meat, along with generally accepted methods, new histological research methods are used, which allow establishing microscopic changes in fresh, spoiled, and canned foods. The purpose of this study is to examine the microscopic structure of salted fish meat (Herring, Pollock) and seafood (squid, mussels) by freezing. It was confirmed that fish meat is composed of skeletal muscle, fibrous connective (endo- , perimysium) tissues with blood, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. Muscle tissue fibres have the appearance of cylindrical formations, with well-defined transverse striation and numerous nuclei. The basis of seafood meat is smooth muscle tissue with layers of loose fibrous connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerve fibres. Smooth muscle cells are fusiform in shape, without transverse striation and with a single nucleus. During freezing of fish meat at a temperature of -18ºС, ice crystals are small and well-defined in the endo- and perimysium, and at a temperature of -23ºС – in muscle fibres. When fish is re-frozen, large ice crystals form in both the muscle fibres and the endomysium and perimysium of the muscles, the muscle fibres are fragmented and have cracks. In frozen seafood meat, there is a deformation of bundles of smooth muscle cells and their fragmentation. During the salting of fish meat, in the dehydration phase, a decrease in the diameter of muscle fibres and the width of the endo- and perimysium is noted, the transverse striation and nuclei of muscle fibres are well expressed, and in the dehydration phase, the reverse processes occur. Meanwhile, the fibres become straight with cracks and crevices, and graininess is noticeable in the endomysium and perimysium. Based on the results obtained, it is possible to evaluate the microstructure of frozen and salted fish and seafood meat, which is important when monitoring the suitability of food products for consumers

Authors: Ansari Arshi , Agarwal Monika , Singh Vijay Kumar , Nutan Kumari , Deo Suajata , Deori Trideep Jyoti
Published: June 2023

Background: Every woman needs to know the facts, and the fact is, when it comes to breast cancer, every woman is at risk. India accounts for 7.2% of global cancer incidence, but in terms of mortality, the country accounts for 8.3% of global mortality. India faces a high burden of cancer with the late-stage presentation being a common feature. Early detection of cancer is an important strategy for improved survival and simple cost-effective treatment. Low levels of cancer awareness are a significant factor for delay in seeking treatment by women.Objective: The present study was conducted among Peripheral Health Workers (PHWs) in the Lucknow district to assess their perception of risk factors of breast cancer, knowledge of symptoms, early detection methods, and their availability in the district. Methods: The study was conducted from September 2017 to August 2018, among 450 female PHWs working in rural and urban areas of Lucknow. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information about the awareness of PHWs regarding breast cancer. The awareness score was calculated based on their responses. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24.0 (IBM Corporation).Results: The mean score for overall knowledge of breast cancer was statistically significantly high in BHWs in comparison to ASHAs (Accredited Social Health Activist). The mean knowledge score of signs and symptoms was significantly high among BHWs (Basic Health Workers). PHWs that had undergone training for breast cancer had about 5 times higher chances of having an above-median score. Conclusion: Current low awareness levels, scarcity of resources, and screening programs call for training and refresher pieces of training for peripheral level health workers to empower them to provide preventive health education and screening at the community level. Breastfeeding counseling sessions during home visits and VHNDs could be utilized as an opportunity to create awareness about breast cancer, especially its protective effect on breast cancer.

Published: June 2023

This study aims to enhance understanding of young adults’ social outcome. The existence of large multinational Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) data provides the opportunity to explore the relationship between young adults' propensity to volunteer and various background data in several countries. The focus of this study was on investigating the relationship between young adults volunteering and their educational attainment, social trust, gender, participation in lifelong learning, and cognitive skills in numeracy. The findings suggest that while significant characteristic differences exist among millennials who engage in volunteering activities, only a few of these characteristics such as their numeracy skills, participation in lifelong learning, and social trust influenced their propensity to engage in civic activities. These findings contribute to our understanding of the factors that influence millennials' participation in civic activities.

Stress is a unique feature in any language's phonology, serving various purposes. The study explores the function of lexical stress in Pahari by presenting a contrast between English and Pahari. In English, stress changes the syntactic category of the word; unlike English, the stress in Pahari not only changes the syntactic category but manages to put the lexical item in an entirely different semantic field with a sharp contrast of meaning. Documented data is insufficient for studying stress in Pahari, as it needs more established literature. Therefore, native Pahari speakers are the participants in exploring the phenomenon. Data analysis revealed that a stress shift in Pahari alters the entire organization of the lexicon in terms of a particular word as the word becomes representative of the different semantic fields. The feature distinguishes Pahari from English and many other languages where the stress changes only the syntactic category, not the semantic field; as a result, the lexical item carries the same conceptual field. An example of the change in the semantic field in Pahari is the word "mundi". Stress on the first syllable, /mÊndi/, will occupy the feature of the body part where it means ‘neck’. Stress on the second syllable /mÊnËdi/ carries the feature of the remaining portion of the trunk of the chopped tree, where it means ‘tree stump’. The study presents a list of such words and their meanings through componential analysis (CA), indicating the same word with two different stress realizations stands for two different semantic fields. This prosodic feature of lexical stress in Pahari is similar the languages like Hebrew.

Authors: Khokhar Muhammad Ibrahim , Iqbal Malik Mohammad , Solangi Mushtaque Ahmed
Published: June 2023

Viceroy’s House” by Gurinder Chadha is a 106 minutes long film released in English and Hindi in 2017. The film is about the last days of the British Raj and the subsequent partition of India in 1947. The film is based on the books "Freedom at Midnight (1975") and "The Shadow of the Great Game:The Untold Story of Partition (2005"). The film documents the period of the last Viceroy of India Lord Mountbatten who was missioned to handover freedom to India but unfortunately ended in the partition of India in his course of responsibilities. The current study discusses the misrepresentation of Jinnah the founder of Pakistan portrayed as an ambitious politician who wanted the division of India in line with imperial designs. This historical negationism and epistemological misrepresentation is in line with Corrigan's (2015) discussion about ideology in films where he discusses how films dominate and sometimes distort ways of seeing the world.

Published: June 2023

Cyber communication and gender issues have been subjects of sociolinguistic discussions among researchers in recent years. Online gender harassment has become a common phenomenon in the internet era. This harassment is aggravated when sufferers face more persecution due to delay, denial, and in some cases, unavailability of justice from the country's criminal justice system. Though third-world countries have categorized laws dealing with cyber-harassment to deal with cyber- criminals, the same system paves the way for secondary persecution. Past studies show that law enforcement agencies trivializing problems further victimizes the victim. This study is an endeavour to answer the following questions. What kind of cyber threats do Pakistani women face? Why has a country's judicial system failed to control cyber-harassment cases? What steps are required to deal with cyber-harassment? For this purpose, the data is collected from ten online journals and blogs. The study reveals that gender discrepancies, cybercrimes, and increasing reports of violent misogyny on the internet highlight the weakness of the country's security mechanism requires instant measures to be taken by the government by making strict cyber laws and a quick cyber force.

Wybrane konsekwencje prawne śmierci i zaginięcia żywiciela rodziny względem osób uprawnionych do alimentacji a potrzeba wprowadzenia tymczasowej renty rodzinnej

Przedmiotem artykułu są wybrane konsekwencje prawne śmierci i zaginięcia żywiciela rodziny względem osób uprawnionych do alimentacji w kontekście potrzeby ustanowienia tymczasowej renty rodzinnej oraz wprowadzenia specjalnego trybu postępowania skutkującego przyznaniem wskazanego świadczenia. Na potrzeby wywodu posłużono się metodą dogmatycznoprawną. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie i analiza skomplikowanego trybu postępowania w sprawach o uznanie za zmarłego i związanych z nim wątpliwości, a przede wszystkim zgłoszenie wniosków de lege ferenda wprowadzenia do porządku prawnego tymczasowej renty rodzinnej w sytuacji zaginięcia żywiciela rodziny i możliwego trybu jej przyznania. Śmierć osoby zobowiązanej do alimentacji rodzi prawo do renty rodzinnej. Natomiast zaginięcie żywiciela rodziny nie znajduje odzwierciedlenia w automatycznym ustanowieniu zabezpieczenia osób uprawnionych do alimentacji. Prawomocne uznanie zaginionego za zmarłego przez sąd jest zasadniczo możliwe dopiero po upływie dekady od końca roku kalendarzowego, w którym zaginął. W związku z powyższym przede wszystkim małoletnie dzieci zostają przez bardzo długi czas pozbawione środków do życia. W celu uniknięcia powstawania takich sytuacji autorki zaproponowały wprowadzenie tymczasowej renty rodzinnej w przypadku zaginięcia żywiciela rodziny oraz przedstawiły możliwy tryb postępowania mającego na celu jej przyznanie. Wyglądałby on następująco: złożenie wniosku o przyznanie tymczasowej renty rodzinnej przez podmiot uprawniony możliwe byłoby po upływie okresu rocznej karencji od dnia zaginięcia żywiciela rodziny, przy czym wskazaną okoliczność ustalałyby i weryfikowałyby organy ścigania. Następnie po przeprowadzeniu przez organ rentowy postępowania wyjaśniającego przyznawałby on uprawnionemu świadczenie w postaci tymczasowej renty rodzinnej. W przypadku decyzji odmownej i odwołania skarżącego otworzyłby się etap postępowania sądowego, tj. postępowania odrębnego w sprawach z zakresu pracy i ubezpieczeń społecznych z pełną inicjatywą dowodową i kognicją sądu powszechnego.
