Authors: Khelemskyi Viktor
Published: February 2024

The study is devoted to the development of the conceptual foundations of financial determinants of capital investments and their role in the sustainable development of Ukraine is determined. The author established that the annual investment needs for developing countries alone are estimated at 3.3 to 4.5 trillion. USD per year. Investments are needed primarily to finance the development of basic infrastructure, the fields of medicine and education, ensuring food security, mitigating the consequences and adapting to climate change and other areas of sustainable development. The research substantiates that the financing of capital investments of sustainable development is a separate sphere of socio-economic relations, where financial support for the creation, restoration or expansion of capital assets in all spheres of social development takes place. Such a system has specific complex mechanisms for the formation of financial potential for the realization of capital investments and tools for self-preservation and self-development, which are subject to the Goals of sustainable development, for the sake of the main goal – the sustainable development of the country. The article analyzes the instruments of state policy regarding sustainable finance and determines that the state should create the necessary environment for stimulating the financial provision of capital investments in the future. Considering the European integration processes in Ukraine, the state policy in the field of financing sustainable development capital investments should be based on European principles. The improvement of the taxation system in the field of investment capital markets, the introduction of special investment accounts, the improvement of activities in the field of joint investment, the introduction of social bonds and bonds of sustainable development, the disclosure of information about ESG and other directions. The study proved that the financing of capital investments of sustainable development is a sustainable system integrated into the international space, capable of facing challenges, developing and contributing to the sustainable development of the country. The author determined that the main task today is to form sufficient financial and investment potential for the reconstruction and socio-economic development of Ukraine, to ensure access to sustainable financing for all communities, business entities, to strengthen the mobilization of domestic savings for long-term investments aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

APPLIED POTENTIAL OF PHENOMENOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF DEATH AND MORTALITY
Authors: Петращук Мирослава
Published: February 2024

The presented article attempts to structure the phenomenological interpretation of death and mortality through the study of their relationship with other significant phenomenological themes, in particular corporeality, intersubjectivity, and temporality. The author determined that the phenomenological understanding of corporeality as a combination of the physical body (German: der Körper) and the living body (German: der Leib) is capable of helping to overcome the natural-scientific reduction of the body to physical and functional aspects. The article also highlights the intersubjective rootedness of a person's understanding of his own transience and defines the role of experiencing the deaths of others in the formation of an attitude towards one's own death. The author expresses the idea of the inaccessibility of experiencing death as an actual, immediate reality. In the context of temporality, death is defined by the author as a moment in which no continuity is established, as time that no longer unfolds. In the concluding remarks, the understanding of death as the loss of a unique contribution to intersubjective experience is substantiated, and the role of awareness of mortality in the emergence of culture is determined. Overall, it was concluded that phenomenology can become not only a theoretical tool for the interpretation of death but also an applied basis for the development of bioethics.

The purpose of the article is to show the causal relationship between the philosophical ideas of postmodernism, as well as its cultural expression and the socio-political situation of the modern West, which the author of the article describes as a civilizational decline. The article examines the context of the emergence of postmodernism as the dominant worldview today in the Western world, as well as its main philosophical ideas, such as deconstruction, transgression, anti-logocentrism, loss of trust in metanarratives, skepticism in relation to the concept of truth, moral relativism, and others. The author of the article examines the evolution of postmodernism, which has taken place over the past half century, passing from academia, through various spheres of culture to political activism and the lives of ordinary people. The article places special emphasis on the consequences of postmodern ideas in the social and political life of the West. In this context, the phenomenon of post-truth politics, the sexual revolution, the political polarization of societies, social engineering and, in general, the crisis of Euro-Atlantic civilization are analyzed. Postmodernism is seen as the decadence of European culture. In the conclusion, the context of the war and state-building in Ukraine and the connection of their prospects with the spiritual and civilizational condition of the West appears.
POST-TRUTH: A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY AND PROMOTION OF IDEOLOGY
Authors: Борисенко Єлизавета
Published: February 2024

The new era of human existence brings a new challenges. Today, humanity has the Internet. It is a tool that not only improves, but also poses a great threat to the existing world order. The rapid spread of information is both an advantage (as it helps to instantly share breaking news to the world) and a danger (as it can spread misinformation just as quickly). It is possible to say that people have lied throughout their history, but it is the widespread and instantaneous distribution of false and manipulative information that has become a feature of our time. The situation that arose was not typical for all previous eras, and researchers quickly gave it the name "post-truth". This term was quickly picked up and began to spread both in academic circles and in the mass media. Post-truth is a situation in which the appeal to emotions has more weight than the reasoned operation of facts, which appeals to reason. And in this case, it is a suitable environment for the spread of fakes, manipulations and propaganda. It also creates favorable conditions for the spread of ideology. On the one hand, it divides society, because now everyone has "his own truth", his own information bubble, and, therefore, common meanings, orientations and, ultimately, common sense disappear. This poses a direct threat to the existence of democratic regimes, because it undermines its fundamental foundations. On the other hand, it is this individualization that turns people into masses (in term of H. Arendt), which can be easily manipulated and implanted in them with ideologically correct thoughts and beliefs. In addition, people no longer need to prove something based on real facts and well-argued statements. It is enough to create an emotionally pleasant picture in their imagination, in which they themselves want to believe. Thus, language, which no longer needs any connection with reality, but closes in on itself, becomes the key means of achieving its selfish goal. In such a case, it is important to find out exactly how, in the post-truth situation, precisely thanks to language manipulation, humanity again became close to the collapse of democracy and the establishment or strengthening of existing totalitarian regimes.
IS BENEDICT ANDERSON A CONSTRUCTIVIST: TO THE QUESTION ABOUT NATIONS AS “AS IMAGINED COMMUNITY”
Authors: Носова Ганна
Published: February 2024

Constructivists in theoretical investigations are considered as researchers who adopt positions of artificiality and unnaturalness in creating social objects. Benedict Anderson, with his famous work “Imagined Communities,” seems to automatically fall into their ranks, as the very title suggests the artificiality of nations created through imagination. However, despite the prevalence of such an understanding of the concept of “constructivism,” the author attempts to look somewhat differently at the “creation” of nations by Anderson. Firstly, nations, as well as other historical communities are not “natural”, because they are historical, arise up and disappear together with time. And more main all, communities are the product of human practice, exactly in this sense they are constructed. Thus, calling in questions the constructivism of Benedict Anderson, an author of article tries to explain, as far as him research position yet or already not structural. The author analyses “constructivism” component determinations of nation by Benedict Anderson, as a limited and sovereign, and imagined community, analyses how the height of human population compels people to unite by means of imagination, why national languages, national myths and history are created, how they construct national community, what are role by territories and state is in this process. It is needed to mark that for Anderson imaginary are other historical community too that differ in except other factors by the style of imagination too. Nation is the real only as it is correlated with the modern territorial state and, with nationalism that presents her. Given that, from the philosopher's point of view, it is nationalism that gives rise to the nation, Andersen can be added to constructivism without reservation. Anderson's nations have “natural” features inherited from previous communities, primarily religions. The idea of ​​the nation followed the motives of brotherhood and service to sacred values, which gives human life a transcendent meaning – belonging to unity. Because of belonging to the nation and only through it, a person felt the belonging of historical existence. Nationalist discourse idealizes the nation and sanctifies the state, its people are considered as the chosen people. Anderson betrays constructivism when he claims that nationalism gives rise to collective solidarity of a special force, which is embedded in the very nature of national identity. Nationalism acts as a kind of religion of modern society, which promises a person immortality in the eternal existence of the nation to which he considers himself in his imagination. And in the opinion of the author of the article, one cannot be considered a constructivist who considers certain entities to be eternal.

Authors: Рожко Василь
Published: February 2024

This scientific article explores the crucial aspects of the influence of religious leaders on the formation of environmental consciousness, focusing on both the biblical perspective on creation, moral aspects of responsibility towards nature, and the potential for interfaith cooperation in addressing environmental issues. The paper delves into the specificity of the terminology used in documents related to religious themes. It places a significant emphasis on the interaction between cultural, social, and linguistic factors in shaping the terminology within the discourse of religion. The author conducts a comprehensive analysis of the interaction between religious leaders and nature, considering not only the biblical perspective but also the moral aspects associated with environmental responsibility. The study identifies religious leaders as key agents in cultivating a positive attitude towards ecology within society and underscores their crucial role in addressing contemporary environmental challenges. The research reveals how religious leaders can be not just spiritual guides but also leaders in developing sustainable environmental awareness. The article emphasizes the importance of dedicating time to thoroughly explain these matters to ensure the understanding and engagement of parishioners when religious leaders invite them to participate. Furthermore, it underscores the necessity for religious leaders to set an example for their communities, organizations, or the wider public. It is noted that altering practices within religious institutions represents a primary means of involving community members in addressing climate change. The paper also highlights the possibility of "greening" religious facilities as an example of what parishioners can do in their own homes. The article analyzes specific measures and initiatives undertaken by supporters of the Christian Church to elevate environmental consciousness, encompassing not only education through moral upbringing but also public statements by religious leaders on sustainable resource utilization and broader environmental issues.

2-Dominating sets and 2-domination polynomials of pan graph \(P_{m, 2}\)
Authors: P.C. Priyanka Nair  , T. Anitha Baby
Published: February 2024

Let \(G\) be a simple graph of order $\mathrm{m}$. Let $D_2(G, x)$ be the family of 2-dominating sets in $G$ with size 1 . The polynomial $D_2(G, x)=\sum_{i=\gamma_2(G)}^m d_2(G, i) x^i$ is called the 2-domination polynomial of $G$. Let $D_2\left(P_{m, 2}, i\right)$ be the family of 2-dominating sets of the pan graph $P_{m, 2}$ with cardinality $i$ and let $d_2\left(P_{m, 2}, i\right)=\left|D_2\left(P_{m, 2}, i\right)\right|$. Then, the 2-domination polynomial $D_2\left(P_{m, 2}, x\right)$ of $P_{m, 2}$ is defined as, $D_2\left(P_{m, 2}, x\right)=\sum_{i=\gamma_2\left(P_{m, 2}\right)}^{m+2} d_2\left(P_{m, 2}, i\right) x^i$, where $\gamma_2\left(P_{m, 2}\right)$ is the 2 - domination number of $P_{m, 2}$. In this paper we obtain a recursive formula for $d_2\left(P_{m, 2}, i\right)$. Using this recursive formula we construct the 2-domination polynomial, $\left.D_2\left(P_{m, 2}, x\right)=\sum_{i=\left[\frac{m+2}{2}\right.}^{m+2}\right]_2\left(P_{m, 2}, i\right) x^i$, where $d_2\left(P_{m, 2}, i\right)$ is the number of 2-dominating sets of $P_{m, 2}$ of cardinality $i$ and some properties of this polynomial have been studied.
Relatively prime inverse domination of a graph
Authors: C. Jayasekaran  , L. Roshini
Published: February 2024

Let \(G\) be non-trivial graph. A subset \(D\) of the vertex set \(V(G)\) of a graph \(G\) is called a dominating set of \(G\) if every vertex in \(\mathrm{V}\) - \(\mathrm{D}\) is adjacent to a vertex in \(\mathrm{D}\). The minimum cardinality of a dominating set is called the domination number and is denoted by \(\gamma(G)\). If \(\mathrm{V}\) - D contains a dominating set \(\mathrm{S}\) of \(\mathrm{G}\), then \(\mathrm{S}\) is called an inverse dominating set with respect to \(D\). In an inverse dominating set \(S\), every pair of vertices \(u\) and \(v\) in \(S\) such that (deg \(u\), deg \(v\) ) =1, then \(S\) is called relatively prime inverse dominating set. The minimum cardinality of a relatively prime inverse dominating set is called relatively prime inverse dominating number and is denoted by \(\gamma_{r p}^{-1}(\mathrm{G})\). In this paper we find relatively prime inverse dominating number of some graphs.

A set \(S \subseteq V\) is said to be a relatively prime geodetic set if it is a geodetic set with at least three elements and the shortest distance between any two pairs of vertices in \(S\) is relatively prime. The relatively prime geodetic set of \(G\) is denoted by \(g_{r p}(G)\)-set. The cardinality of a minimum relatively prime geodetic set is the relatively prime geodetic number and it is denoted \(g_{r p}(G)\).

Authors: G. Sumathy  , K.S. Shruthi
Published: February 2024

A vertex \(v \in V(G)\) is said to be a self vertex switching of \(G\) if \(G\) is isomorphic to \(G^v\), where \(G^v\) is the graph obtained from \(G\) by deleting all edges of \(G\) incident to \(v\) in \(G\) and adding all edges incident to \(v\) which are not in \(G\). A vertex \(v^{\prime}\) is the duplication of \(v\) if all the vertices which are adjacent to \(v\) in \(G\) are also adjacent to \(v^{\prime}\) in \(D(v G)\), which is the duplication graph of \(G\). Duplication self vertex switching of various graphs are given in the literature. In this paper we discuss about the 2-vertex duplication self switching graphs.

Radio Even Mean Graceful Labeling of a connected graph \(G\) is a bijection \(\phi\) from the vertex set \(V(G)\) to \(\{2,4,6, \ldots 2|V|\}\) satisfying the condition \(d(s, t)+\left\lceil\frac{\phi(s)+\phi(t)}{2}\right\rceil \geq 1+\operatorname{diam}(G)\) for every \(\mathrm{s}, \mathrm{t} \in \mathrm{V}(\mathrm{G})\). A graph which admits radio even mean graceful labeling is called radio even mean graceful graph. In this paper we investigate the radio even mean graceful labeling on degree splitting of some special graphs.

Published: February 2024

A total geo chromatic set of a graph \(G\) is a geo chromatic set \(S_c\) such that the subgraph induced by \(S_c\) has no isolated vertices. The minimum cardinality of a total geo chromatic set of \(G\) is the total geo chromatic number of \(G\) and is denoted by \(\chi_{t g}(G)\). A total geo chromatic set of cardinality \(\chi_{t g}(G)\) is called a \(\chi_{t g}\)-set of \(G\). The total geo chromatic number of some standard graphs are determined and some general properties satisfied by this concept are studied.

Identification of shortest path with Dijkstra’s algorithm through the distribution function analysis of flow and connectivity in non-directed graphs
Authors: P. Kamal Devi
Published: February 2024

A non-directed graph is one type graph and these nodes are connected by non-directed arcs. A non-directed arc is an edge that has no arrow. Both ends of a non-directed arc are equivalent-there is no head tail. Therefore, this paper represents an edge in a non-directed graph as a set rather than an ordered pair which is assigned with weighted path. So it is important to calculate to find the shortest path in assigned graphs. Dijkstra algorithm is one of the familiar methods to find shortest paths from point to another point in a graph. It is also known as single source shortest path algorithm and which is applied only on positive weights. This paper proposes a new scheme for computing the shortest paths on non-directed graphs with distributed function analysis. It creates a linear size structure that facilitates single source shortest path computations in \(o(m \log a)\) time, where \(a=\alpha(m, n)\) is the slowly growing inverse - Ackermann function, \(p\) the number of vertices and \(q\) the number of edges. This algorithm infers ne bounds on both the all pairs and single source shortest paths problems. To resolve the all pairs problem in \(o(m n \log \alpha(m, n))\) time and, if the ratio between the maximum and minimum edge length is constrained by \(n^{(\log n)^{o(1)}}\) These results express the better performance of Dijkstra algorithm in undirected graphs.

Let \(G\) be a \((p, q)\) graph and let \(A\) be a group. Let \(f: V(G) \longrightarrow A\) be a map. For each edge \(u v\) assign the label  \(\left\lfloor\frac{o(f(u))+o(f(v))}{2} \mid\right.\). Here \(o(f(u))\) denotes the order of \(f(u)\) as an element of the group \(A\). Let \(\mathbb{I}\) be the set of all integers that are labels of the edges of \(G\). \(f\) is called a group mean cordial labeling if the following conditions hold:(1) For \(x, y \in A,\left|v_f(x)-v_f(y)\right| \leq 1\), where \(v_f(x)\) is the number of vertices labeled with \(x\).(2) For \(i, j \in \mathbb{I},\left|e_f(i)-e_f(j)\right| \leq 1\), where \(e_f(i)\) denote the number of edges labeled with \(i\).A graph with a group mean cordial labeling is called a group mean cordial graph. In this paper, we take \(A\) as the group of fourth roots of unity and prove that,the splitting graphs of Path \(\left(P_n\right), \operatorname{Cycle}\left(C_n\right), \operatorname{Comb}\left(P_n \odot K_1\right)\) and Complete Bipartite graph ( \(K_{n, n}\) when \(n\) is even ) are group mean cordial graphs. Also we characterized the group mean cordial labeling of the splitting graph of \(K_{1, n}\).

By a graph \(G=(V, E)\) we mean a finite undirected graph without loops or multiple edges. Let \(G\) be a graph and \(\sigma \subseteq V\) be a non-empty subset of \(V\). Then \(\sigma\) is said to be a self switching of \(G\) if and only if \(G \cong G^\sigma\). It can also be referred to as \(|\sigma|\)-vertex self-switching. The set of all self switching of the graph \(G\) with cardinality \(k\) is represented by \(S_k(G)\) and its cardinality by \(s s_k(G)\). A vertex \(v\) of a graph \(G\) is said to be self vertex switching if \(G \cong G^v\). The set of all self vertex switchings of \(G\) is denoted by \(\operatorname{SS}_1(G)\) and its cardinality is given by \(s s_1(G)\). If \(|\sigma|=2\), we call it as a 2-vertex self switching. The set of all 2-vertex switchings of \(G\) is denoted by \(\operatorname{SS}_2(G)\) and its cardinality is given by \(s s_2(G)\). In this paper we find the number of 2-vertex self switching vertices for the umbrella graph \(U_{m, n}\).
Institutional Amnesia in Government
Authors: Stark Alastair
Published: February 2024

The concept of institutional amnesia represents a means of describing the loss of policy-relevant knowledge across time. This loss is keenly felt in all government institutions and typically leads to a conclusion that institutional amnesia is a problem to be fixed. However, there are positives that can be associated with a lack of memory. This article explores the good and the bad of memory loss by asking ‘how much amnesia is enough?’ This question prompts a discussion of the nature of amnesia in government, where it is most keenly felt, what causes it and the effects it produces.
Zombie Ideas: Policy pendulum and the challenge of effective policymaking
Authors: Peters B. Guy , Nagel Maximilian L.
Published: February 2024

Ideas are important as a foundation for public policy, but they can also become ‘zombie ideas’ which survive even though they have been proven to be ineffective. Both the political right and the political left have their own zombie ideas, and when there is a change in government old ideas may return. This article presents the concept of zombie ideas and discusses its relevance for policy in New Zealand.
Must Indigenous Rights Implementation Depend on Political Party?
Authors: Lightfoot Sheryl
Published: February 2024

Canada and New Zealand were two of only four countries which voted against the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007, before eventually moving to support. Since then, this declaration has influenced Canadian politics and practices, particularly the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 2015 ‘calls to action’, legislation, and subsequent action plans on both the federal and provincial levels. Different political parties’ priorities affect the implementation of indigenous rights policies. Nonetheless, Canada demonstrates the importance of normative change, outside of legislation or formal policy change. Norms of co-development, co-design and co-drafting create opportunities for indigenous peoples to have a say in policies that affect them.

Beyond Control Towers, Vending Machines, Networks and Platforms towards more dynamic, living metaphors for governance
Authors: Maniam Aaron
Published: February 2024

Metaphors affect how humans perceive and interact with reality, not least in governments, so our metaphors for government and governance matter. In this article, early metaphors such as government as Leviathan, machine, control tower and vending machine are shown to be limited, as are their replacements, like government as network and government as platform. Instead, the article suggests conceptualising government and governance as a ‘moral ecology’, to do justice to the complex and evolving roles of public sectors and public officials amid global turbulence and increasingly challenging domestic circumstances.
Adopting a Purposeful Approach to Hybrid Working integrating notions of place,space and time
Authors: Buick Fiona , Williamson Sue , Weeratunga Vindhya , Taylor Helen
Published: February 2024

Hybrid working is a prevalent way of working, representing a significant change for public sector organisations. The change management literature brings together the notions of place and space; however, little research on hybrid working has used this framing. In this article, we extend this framing to include time, arguing that key to hybrid working effectiveness is the adoption of a purposeful approach to integrating place, space and time. This article has the potential to assist public sector human resource practitioners, managers, employees and policymakers as they navigate their way through these changing times.
Investigating the Effects of the Kappa Opioid Receptor Agonist Nalfurafine, in a Mouse Model of Optic Nerve Demyelination
Authors:   , Tunley Sabrina
Published: February 2024

Optic neuritis is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the optic nerve (ON) which is often associated with autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. Its relationship with MS is closely interwoven, as optic neuritis is commonly the first clinical sign of MS and is experienced by 60-70% of MS patients in the course of their disease. Disease occurs when white matter lesions appear on the ON, leading to axonal loss and atrophy of the retinal nerve fibre layer, potentially leading to permanent vision loss despite the individual recovering from the acute immune attack. There is no cure for MS-associated optic neuritis, and current immunomodulatory treatments for MS and optic neuritis focus only on preventing attacks and slowing disease progression, not repairing the damage that has already been done.

Treatments targeting the oligodendrocyte lineage - responsible for myelination of the central nervous system - are promising due to their potential to drive remyelination. Recent preclinical studies using models of demyelination have presented the kappa opioid receptor (KOPr) as a target for remyelination, with KOPr receptor agonists having been shown to promote oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation into oligodendrocytes and increase myelination. The current research investigated the ON features in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of demyelination and the effect of the clinically available KOPr agonist, nalfurafine, on myelination, immune infiltration, oligodendrocyte lineage cells, microglia, and astrocytes in the model. Techniques used were Black-Gold II and haematoxylin and eosin staining, and immunolabelling with anti-SOX10, -GST-pi, -IBA1, and -GFAP antibodies. It was shown that demyelination and immune infiltration occur, mature oligodendrocytes are fewer, while microglia and astrocyte numbers increase in ONs of EAE mice. Additionally, nalfurafine suppressed astrocyte GFAP expression in the EAE model.

Borderline neuropsychiatric disorders firmly hold a leading position in a large group of mental illnesses, among which neuroses occupy a significant place. The increasing number of patients with diseases associated with neuropsychiatric disorders makes the search and introduction of highly effective anxiolytics and antidepressants into medical practice increasingly important. In parallel with the search for medicinal substances with such pharmacological properties, it is necessary to resolve issues of standardization and quality control. One of these drugs may be a new synthetic derivative of ortho-benzoylaminobenzoic acid, which has antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. This compound was synthesized at the department of organic chemistry of the Pyatigorsk Medical and Pharmaceutical Institute under the leadership of professor Kodonidi I.P. Several biologically active compounds were synthesized - derivatives of o-benzoylaminobenzoic acid, one of which is 2-benzoylamino-N-[4-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-ylsulfamoyl)-phenyl]-benzamide (laboratory code - PMFI-195) . Preliminary pharmacological studies of PMFI-195, carried out on the basis of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education of the Stavropol State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia and the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education of the North Caucasus Federal University, under the leadership of professor Manvelyan E.A., showed the promise of developing a drug based on the substance PMFI-195 for the treatment of such diseases such as depression, neuroses, psychopathy, neurosis-like and psycho-like states. Quality control and development of modern methods of pharmaceutical analysis is one of the basic stages of introducing pharmaceutical substances into production. This requires an in-depth study of physicochemical characteristics, as well as the selection and justification of methods of analysis and quality control of pharmaceuticals. substances. The results of the developed method for the qualitative determination by UV spectrophotometric method of a new quinosalinone derivative 2-benzoylamino-N-[4-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-ylsulfamoyl)-phenyl]-benzamide, which has anxiolytic and antidepressant activity, are presented.

. Laser interferometers are an important tool in prosthetic dentistry, used to measure microscopic structures and surfaces of teeth and oral tissues. These devices allow dentists to obtain accurate data on the shape and condition of teeth, which significantly improves the quality of treatment for patients in need of dental prosthetics. The relevance of the use of laser interferometers in orthopedic dentistry at present is due to several important factors, such as high measurement accuracy. Laser interferometers allow measurements to be taken with incredible precision, avoiding even the small errors that can occur with traditional dental measurement methods. Non-contact - one of the main advantages of laser interferometers is their ability to carry out measurements without contact with patient tissue. This minimizes discomfort for the patient and avoids the risk of infection or tissue damage. The speed and efficiency of laser interferometers can significantly speed up the diagnostic and prosthetic fabrication processes in prosthetic dentistry, making procedures more efficient and cost-effective. These devices allow for detailed analysis of the micro- and macrostructure of teeth, which is important for the precise manufacture of dentures and bite correction. The use of laser interferometers opens up innovation for the research of new diagnostic methods in dentistry, which can lead to the development of more effective and new approaches to the treatment and rehabilitation of patients.
