Type Checking Algorithm for the TIL-Script Language
Authors: Duží Marie  , Fait Michal
Published: February 2025

The success of automated reasoning techniques over large natural-language texts heavily relies on a fine-grained analysis of natural language assumptions. While there is a common agreement that the analysis should be hyperintensional, most of the automatic reasoning systems are still based on an intensional logic, at the best. In this paper we introduce the TIL-Script language, which is a computational variant of Pavel Tichý's Transparent Intensional Logic (TIL). TIL is a hyperintensional, typed lambda calculus of partial functions. Hyperintensional, because the TIL terms are interpreted as denoting procedures rather than their products, which are partial functions-in-extension. Thus, in our stratified ontology we have got procedures, their products, i.e. functions-in-extensions, or even procedures of a lower order, as well as functional values. These procedures are rigorously defined as TIL constructions. With constructions of constructions, constructions of functions, functions, and functional values in our stratified ontology, we need to keep track of the traffic between multiple logical strata. The ramified type hierarchy does just that. The type of first order objects includes all objects that are not constructions. The type of second-order objects includes constructions of first-order objects. The type of third-order objects includes constructions of first- or second-order objects. And so on, ad infinitum. The goal of this paper is to introduce the algorithm of type control over the results of logical analysis of natural-language expressions, i.e., checking whether the analysis results in a type-theoretically coherent procedure assigned to the expression as its meaning.
Optimizing Locations of Social and Health Care Service Centers Using Location-Allocation Tools
Authors: Widbom Timo  , Lipping Tarmo
Published: February 2025

Two different principles of solving the location-allocation problem – the minimum impedance and the maximum coverage principle – are compared for optimizing the location of healthcare and social service centers (HCs) in Satakunta, Finland. Optimization is performed using grid data on population density and age as well as digital road maps of the area. The results indicate that if the number of HCs is small (in our case, 4), the two models give similar results while when allowing more HCs (in our case, 7), the maximum coverage model comes up with more decentralized locations. The two models make different compromise between offering excellent accessibility (in terms of travel time to the service center) to most of the population versus offering reasonably good accessibility to the whole population.

Published: February 2025

In this paper, an improved LDA topic model called SLDA is proposed for analyzing English essay of Chinese learners, which is used to analysis sentiment of English essay and judge whether the content of the English essay is on-topic, and it performs well combined with English essay automatic correction system. The corrected LDA topic model is added a sentence level analysis process to make up for the shortcoming of the method based on bag of words that ignoring the relationship between words, and it overcomes the shortcoming that model needs lots of training text. The model proposed in this paper mainly aims at the automatic analysis of the overall thought expression of Chinese English learners, which can be applied to the automatic correction system for analyzing English essay to serve Chinese English learners, and experiments show that it performs well in practice.

Authors: Kozmina Natalija  , Niedrite Laila  , Zemnickis Janis
Published: February 2025

Big data technologies are rapidly gaining popularity and become widely used, thus, making the choice of developing methodologies including the approaches for requirements analysis more acute. There is a position that in the context of the Data Warehousing (DW), similar to other Decision Support Systems (DSS) technologies, defining information requirements (IR) can increase the chances of the project to be successful with its goals achieved. This way, it is important to examine this subject in the context of Big data due to the lack of research in the field of Big data requirements analysis. This paper gives an overview and evaluation of the existing methods for requirements analysis in Big data projects. In addition, we explore solutions on how to (semi-) automate requirements engineering phases, and reason about applying Natural Language Processing (NLP) for generating potentially useful and previously unstated information requirements.
New Knowledge-Transmission Mechanisms Based Horizontal Collaborative Fuzzy Clustering Algorithms for Unequal-Length Time Series
Authors: Jiang Shurong  , Yu Fusheng
Published: February 2025

In clustering of unequal-length time series, how to deal with the unequal lengths is a crucial step. In this paper, the given unequal-length clustering problem is first changed into several equal-length clustering sub-problems by dividing the given group of unequal-length time series into some groups of equal-length subsequences. For each sub-problem, the standard fuzzy c-means algorithm can give the clustering result represented by a partition matrix and cluster centers. In order to obtain the final clustering result, horizontal collaborative fuzzy clustering algorithm is employed to fuse the clustering results of the sub-problems. In horizontal collaborative fuzzy clustering algorithm, the collaborative knowledge is transmitted by partition matrixes whose sizes should be the same to the final partition matrix. But in the scenario here, the obtained partition matrixes most often have different sizes, thus we cannot directly use the horizontal collaborative fuzzy clustering algorithm. This paper here presents two new manners for extending the partition matrixes to have same size to the final partition matrix. In the first new manner, each added element in the extended partition matrix is the element in the same position of the extending matrix. In the second new manner, each added column is same to the corresponding column of the extending matrix; while each added element in the pre-existing column is set to be 0. The main difference between the two manners is that the normalization condition does not hold for some columns in the first new manner. Thus, normalization should be made for those columns. Meanwhile, this paper investigates the selection of the extending matrix which is crucial in the two new extending manners. Both the two new extending manners can make the partition knowledge be effectively transmitted and thus assume the proposed clustering algorithms good clustering results. Experiments showed the effectiveness of the proposed manners.

Authors: Kushniruk Andre  , Borycki Elizabeth  , Kitson Nicole  , Kannry Joseph
Published: February 2025

The objective of the work described in this paper was to develop a coding scheme focused on socio-technical issues and considerations for the analysis of video data collected in usability studies of health information systems. The usability and safety of health information systems such as electronic health records, decision support and patient facing applications has become a critical issue. Although a variety of studies and methods have appeared in the literature involving video-based analysis of human factors data from healthcare, few have reported the coding scheme used to analyze the data. In this paper we describe how we have developed and continue to refine a video coding scheme that extends basic usability engineering by considering socio-technical aspects of system use that have become critical to assess in evaluating the effectiveness and efficacy of health information systems in real use.
Approaches to Demonstrating the Effectiveness and Impact of Usability Testing of Healthcare Information Technology
Authors: Kushniruk Andre  , Hall Simon  , Baylis Tristin  , Borycki Elizabeth  , Kannry Joseph
Published: February 2025

In recent years the usability of health information systems has come to the fore as a major issue, with many reported examples of problems with the usability of systems such as electronic health records and other health information technologies (HIT). In response a range of usability engineering methods have emerged to help in the design and evaluation of HIT. Many studies have shown the importance of usability testing methods that include full video recording of user interactions, such as the method known as low-cost rapid usability testing. However, such approaches have been considered by many as being too costly to carry out and some have argued that they may take too long to be used for practical input into improving applications and systems. In this paper we demonstrate several approaches we have taken for proving the cost-effectiveness and benefit of conducting principled usability testing. It is argued that such studies are needed to inform system design and evaluation and for proving to healthcare management the need for properly conducting such studies before releasing HIT.

Authors: Kuziemsky Craig E.  , Eynakchi Reza  , Jibb Lindsay  , Stacey Dawn
Published: February 2025

Digital process innovation in healthcare enables us to enhance functionality beyond what is enabled in physical process execution. However, the movement from paper artifacts and manual processes to the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to support healthcare delivery is challenging because system design requirements for digital processes can be much less structured and more difficult to define than for physical processes. This paper addresses the above issue and presents on our research in converting paper-based cancer symptom management practice guides to digital format for use by patients. We provide an overall architecture and three system design considerations for digital process innovation to support patient centered cancer symptom management.

Authors: Parush Avi
Published: February 2025

The practice of patient-centric empowerment with health information delivered through various channels is widespread and often effective. While empowering patients improves the sharing of power between patients and healthcare professionals, it can also inadvertently disempowers healthcare professionals. This paper proposes an approach to the design of health information with the aim of mutually empowering patients and healthcare professionals. The approach consists of mapping a joint journey, identifying the intersecting information points serving both patients and healthcare professionals, and designing the information in a shareable and mutually empowering fashion.

Estimating Clinical Trial Bleeding Events Using Electronic Health Record Data
Authors: Eisenstein Eric L.  , Wojdyla Daniel  , Kong David F.
Published: February 2025

Clinical trials conducted for regulatory approval may include outcomes that are informative but not routinely collected in clinical practice. This situation can be problematic when pragmatic clinical trials (PCT) seek to use electronic health record (EHR) data to test the effectiveness of medical products and services in actual practice settings. We use TIMI bleeding events to illustrate how a complex clinical trial endpoint can be implemented using EHR data. While we were able to demonstrate that our EHR-defined bleeding events were associated with differences in patient clinical outcomes, we are not confident that these measurements could be replicated in other locations with consistent reliability and validity. We believe the development of PCT endpoint definitions is an important issue that should be addressed by medical and informatics professional societies, regulators and the medical products industry.

Authors: Danilov Gleb  , Kotik Konstantin  , Shifrin Michael  , Strunina Uliya  , Pronkina Tatyana  , Potapov Alexander
Published: February 2025

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) conceal a hidden knowledge that could be mined with data science tools. This is relevant for N.N. Burdenko Neurosurgery Center taking the advantage of a large EHRs archive collected for a period between 2000 and 2017. This study was aimed at testing the informativeness of neurosurgical operative reports for predicting the duration of postoperative stay in a hospital using deep learning techniques. The recurrent neuronal networks (GRU) were applied to the word-embedded texts in our experiments. The mean absolute error of prediction in 90% of cases was 2.8 days. These results demonstrate the potential utility of narrative medical texts as a substrate for decision support technologies in neurosurgery.
Predicting Blood Donations in a Tertiary Care Center Using Time Series Forecasting
Authors: Bischoff Francisco  , Koch Maria do Carmo  , Rodrigues Pedro Pereira
Published: February 2025

The current algorithm to support platelets stock management assumes that there are always sufficient whole blood donations (WBD) to produce the required amount of pooled platelets. Unfortunately, blood donation rate is uncertain so there is the need to backup pooled platelets productions with single-donor (apheresis) collections to compensate periods of low WBD. The aim of this work was to predict the daily number of WBD to a tertiary care center to preemptively account for a decrease of platelets production. We have collected 62,248 blood donations during 3 years, the daily count of which was used to feed (standalone and ensemble versions of) six prediction models, which were evaluated using the Mean Absolute Error (MAE). Forecast models have shown better performances with a MAE of about 8.6 donations, 34% better than using means or medians alone. Trend lines of donations are better modeled by autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) using a frequency of 365 days, the trade-off being the need for at least two years of data.

Published: February 2025

Many healthcare IT systems in Germany are unable to interoperate with other systems through standardised data formats. Therefore it is difficult to store and retrieve data and to establish a systematic collection of data with provenance across systems and even healthcare institutions. We outline the concept for a Transformation Pipeline that can act as a processor for proprietary medical data formats from multiple sources. Through a modular construction, the pipeline relies on different data extraction and data enrichment modules as well as on interfaces to external definitions for interoperability standards. The developed solution is extendable and reusable, enabling data transformation independent from current format definitions and entailing the opportunity of collaboration with other research groups.
Cross-Institutional Pathway Guidance – Chance or Extra Burden?
Authors: Bürkle Thomas  , Lehmann Michael  , Holm Jürgen  , Sariyar Murat  , Zetz Erwin  , Denecke Kerstin
Published: February 2025

In this paper, we examine requirements, show potential user interfaces and describe a prototypical development for a Pathway Navigator App that guides the patient through healthcare episodes. Our use case is a fictional patient requiring surgery for a hip total endoprosthesis. Fundamental is the provision of appointment information and the option to contact the healthcare provider for rescheduling. This implied an architecture which was more complicated than expected. We realized an HL7 interface for appointment data from hospital information systems; no comparable standard was found for GP IT systems. The future Swiss Electronic Patient Dossier could enhance the integration of the Path App within a broader health-IT ecosystem.
Current Reasons for Not Using Clinical Pathways in Practice
Authors: Sariyar Murat  , Bürkle Thomas  , Lehmann Michael  , Holm Jürgen
Published: February 2025

Clinical pathways are often promoted as the holy grail of efficient healthcare provision. However, our experiences during the Swiss research project Hospital of the Future demonstrated that most Swiss hospitals do not implement clinical pathways in the sense of ‘… a document describing the common process of a multidisciplinary treatment for a particular type of patient’. In this paper, we will discuss reasons for the lack of pathway implementations. We differentiate between three different categories of explanations: (i) organization-specific impediments, (ii) environmental hurdles, and (iii) inherent problems of clinical pathways. Without additional support and regulation by the policy maker, it seems rather unlikely that an increase of pathway implementations will take place in the near-future in Switzerland.

Published: February 2025

As there is no consensus about how to store the results of echocardiography examinations, information extraction from them is a non-trivial task. Successful named entity recognition (NER) is key to getting access to the stored information and the process of identification has been recognized as a bottleneck in text mining. Our goal was to develop and compare such NER methods that are capable of achieving this task. Our practical results show that the text mining-based NER method is able to perform at a similar level in finding and identifying terms as the regular expression-based NER method. The paper highlights the advantages and disadvantages of both methods.
Multicompartment Hydrogels for the Local Delivery of Chemotherapic Drugs
Authors: Boi Stefania  , Dellacasa Elena  , Rouatbi Nadia  , Monticelli Orietta  , Pastorino Laura
Published: February 2025

Over 85% of human cancers are solid tumors. The effectiveness of anticancer therapy in solid tumors depends on adequate delivery of the therapeutic agent to tumor cells. Inadequate delivery would result in residual tumor cells, which in turn would lead to regrowth of tumors and possibly development of resistant cells. The most prominent option, for now, is the local delivery of chemotherapic drugs into the cavity resection of the tumor. However, the burst release of massive concentrations of the drugs usually boosts the side effects of chemotherapy. Aiming to block the burst release a new drug delivery system (DDS) for the local delivery of Doxorubicin (DOX) was designed and tested, combining different materials and techniques. Following a bottom-up approach, porous spherical calcium carbonate (CaCO3) microspheres, with high loading properties, were loaded with DOX and Layer by Layer (LbL) assembled by biocompatible and biodegradable polyelectrolytes, dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) and polyarginine (PARG). Then, a protocol for the fabrication of alginate (Alg) hydrogels associated with LbL coated drug loaded CaCO3 microspheres were developed by combining internal and external gelation. Therefore, injectable multicompartment hydrogels (MCH) for the local and sustained delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs, with the ability to block the burst release, were developed and characterized.
Digital pHealth – Problems and Solutions for Ethics, Trust and Privacy

Published: February 2025

The penetration of digital platforms and ecosystem based business-model together with the use algorithm and machine leaning are changing the environment where pHealth takes place. Traditional pHealth is changing to Digital pHealth. This development brings new ethical, privacy and trust problems which have to solve to make Digital pHealth successful. In this paper ethical, privacy and trust problems in Digital pHealth are studied at conceptual level. Concerns caused by the use novel ICT-technology and regulatory environment are also discussed. The starting point is that the Digital pHealth as a system and its applications and algorithms should be ethically acceptable, trustworthy and enable the service user to set own context-aware privacy policies. Mutual trust is needed between application and all stakeholders. Solution proposed for trustworthy Digital pHealth include ethical design, policy based privacy management and on-line calculation of privacy and trust levels using proven mathematical methods. In the future, novel solutions such as algorithm based access control and data sharing, and algorithm based privacy prediction together with cryptography based blockchain seems to have potential to change the way privacy is managed in Digital pHealth. Technology alone cannot solve current privacy and trust problems. New regulations which not only give users of the Digital pHealth right to set personal privacy polies but also force pHealth service providers and platform owners to prove regulatory compliance of their services are needed.

Authors: Nurhayati
Published: February 2025

This research aims to determine whether there are significant differences in the financial performance of conventional banks and their overseas branches before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The study focuses on key financial ratios, including the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Return on Assets (ROA), Operating Expenses to Operating Income (BOPO), and Loan-to Deposit Ratio (LDR). The data spans two periods: pre pandemic (January 2018 to December 2019) and during the pandemic (January 2020 to December 2021). Descriptive statistics reveal that both domestic and overseas banks maintained CAR ratios above 12%, indicating strong risk management capabilities. However, domestic banks showed better resilience in terms of ROA and BOPO during the pandemic, while overseas branches faced greater operational inefficiencies. A series of  statistical tests, including the paired sample t-test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, were  conducted to evaluate the differences in performance. The results indicate significant  differences in CAR, BOPO, and LDR ratios for both domestic and overseas banks before and during the pandemic. Notably, domestic banks had a higher CAR and ROA compared to their overseas counterparts before the pandemic. The findings highlight the varying  degrees of resilience between domestic and international branches, offering valuable  insights into the ability of different types of banks to withstand global economic shocks. These insights contribute to the development of strategies for improving financial stability and crisis management in the banking sector.

Published: February 2025

Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure demands high power density, efficiency, and reduced harmonic distortion to meet modern energy standards. This paper presents the design and analysis of an Interleaved Totem-Pole Power Factor Correction (PFC) Converter for high-efficiency EV charging applications. The proposed topology leverages interleaving techniques to reduce input current ripple, enhance power quality, and minimize switching losses, thereby improving overall system efficiency. Simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink validate the performance of the proposed system, achieving high power factor (≈0.99), low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD < 5%), and improved thermal performance. The interleaved control strategy effectively distributes current between multiple phases, leading to reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improved reliability. This study demonstrates that the interleaved totem-pole PFC is a promising solution for next-generation EV fast chargers, offering high efficiency (>95%) and compliance with IEC 61000-3-2 harmonic standards.
ЛЕКСИКО-СТИЛІСТИЧНІ ЗАСОБИ ВИРАЖЕННЯ КОМІЧНОГО У ЗБІРЦІ НАРИСІВ ДЖЕРЕМІ КЛАРКСОНА «ЯК Я ВЖЕ КАЗАВ... СВІТ ЗА КЛАРКСОНОМ»
Authors: ТОРГОВЕЦЬ Юлія
Published: February 2025

У статті здійснено спробу виявити лексико-стилістичні засоби вираження комічного у збірці нарисів відомого британського ведучого та журналіста Джеремі Кларксона «Як я вже казав... Світ за Кларксоном». Сміх – важлива, властива лише людям і певним приматам, підсвідома, еволюційна реакція на комічне. Більшість науковців погоджується, що комічне є категорією естетики, філософії, психології, літературознавства та лінгвістики, яка описує явища та об’єкти реальності через призму осміяння або жартівливого ставлення до них. Механізми творення комічного здавна перебували у фокусі уваги дослідників, і з часом це питання не втратило своєї актуальності. Досягнення комічного ефекту у вибраних нарисах Джеремі Кларксона здійснюється шляхом використання іронії, гіперболи, порівняння, градації, парцеляції та метафори, які розкривають емоційно-психологічний стан автора, виражають його критичне, подекуди, зневажливе ставлення до суспільно-політичних норм та стереотипів. Ключову роль серед перерахованих лексико-стилістичних засобів відіграє іронія. Вона стає потужним інструментом у майстерних руках автора, оскільки, завдяки своїй двоплановості, дозволяє йому маніпулювати змістом, створюючи контраст між буквальним значенням і тим, що насправді мається на увазі. Комічність ситуації створюється завдяки використанню автором логічно або семантично несполучуваних елементів, введенню одиниць низької передбачуваності, що призводить до когнітивного дисонансу і логічного збою читача, адже часто така несумісність є абсурдною, що у свою чергу викликає сміх або усмішку. Водночас результати дослідження показали, що автор вдається до використання складного комізму, який вимагає від читача наявність певного рівня фонових знань, необхідних для повноцінного розуміння та інтерпретації інформації, закладеної у тексті.

Стаття присвячена аналізу змін у взаємодії медіа з аудиторією в умовах кризових ситуацій, зокрема під час пандемії COVID-19 та російсько-української війни. Дослідження виявляє трансформацію підходів до інформування, нові виклики та можливості, що постали перед журналістами та медіаіндустрією. Авторка статті аналізує, як кризові ситуації вплинули на роботу працівників медіа. Опитування працівників медіа дозволило оцінити зміни у сприйнятті аудиторії, рівень довіри до різних каналів комунікації, а також визначити ефективні методи взаємодії з аудиторією. Завдяки аналізу відповідей респондентів зафіксофано, що соціальні мережі та месенджери набули значного впливу як джерела інформації, а традиційні ЗМІ продовжують відігравати важливу роль, проте зменшується їхній рівень довіри. Також розглянуто використання цифрових технологій, зокрема штучного інтелекту (ChatGPT), у журналістській практиці та пов’язані з цим виклики. Окрему увагу приділено проблемі довіри до медіа в кризових умовах. Виявлено, що аудиторія стає дедалі більш критичною до джерел інформації, що вимагає від журналістів дотримання високих стандартів етики та професійності. Важливою складовою дослідження є питання етики та відповідальності журналістів у кризових умовах. Більшість респондентів наголошують на необхідності дотримання принципів достовірності, уникнення маніпуляцій та збереження довіри аудиторії. Дослідження демонструє, що головними завданнями сучасних ЗМІ особливо під час кризових ситуацій є забезпечення об’єктивності, перевірки фактів та прозорості у висвітленні подій. Отримані висновки підкреслюють важливість подальших досліджень впливу цифрових технологій на роботу медіа та аудиторії, а також необхідність розробки нових стратегій комунікації в умовах кризових ситуацій. Результати дослідження можуть бути корисними для працівників та дослідників медіа та всіх, хто зацікавлений у вивченні змін у сфері медіакомунікацій.
ПСИХОЛОГІЧНА ГОТОВНІСТЬ СТУДЕНТІВ-ФІЛОЛОГІВ ДО ОПАНУВАННЯ НАВИЧОК ІНШОМОВНОГО СПІЛКУВАННЯ В КОНТЕКСТІ ЇХ МАЙБУТНЬОЇ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ

Стаття присвячена комплексному аналізу психологічної готовності студентів-філологів до опанування професійного іншомовного спілкування, що є невід’ємною складовою їхньої педагогічної та методичної підготовки. У дослідженні акцентовано увагу на взаємозв’язку мотиваційних, когнітивних, емоційно-вольових і культурних компонентів, які формують здатність студентів успішно взаємодіяти в іншомовному середовищі. Висвітлено ключові психологічні бар’єри, такі як тривожність, страх помилок, низька самооцінка та невпевненість, а також проблеми міжкультурної комунікації, що виникають через недостатнє розуміння культурних особливостей. Розглядаючи психологічну готовність у контексті філологічної освіти, слід враховувати, що вона включає як особистісний компонент (бажання вдосконалювати свої знання і здатність до рефлексії), так і професійний компонент – орієнтацію на застосування іншомовних навичок у викладацькій або перекладацькій діяльності. У статті детально розглянуто педагогічні умови, які сприяють розвитку психологічної готовності, включно з інтерактивними формами навчання, міжнародними мовними проєктами, створенням мовного середовища та залученням цифрових технологій. Окремо проаналізовано роль психологічної підтримки та мотиваційних тренінгів у подоланні страхів і тривожності студентів. Автори також звертаються до проблем інтеграції теоретичних і практичних знань, пропонуючи рекомендації для вдосконалення навчального процесу. У роботі також запропоновано низку практичних рекомендацій, що сприятимуть формуванню цієї готовності, включно з використанням інтерактивних методик, індивідуалізованого підходу та новітніх технологій. Автори звертають увагу на проблеми, з якими стикаються майбутні філологи, та пропонують шляхи їх вирішення через адаптацію методик навчання, впровадження новітніх технологій та розвиток міжкультурної компетентності. Практичний аспект викладений у формі рекомендацій для освітніх закладів. Матеріали дослідження спираються на результати сучасних наукових праць, емпіричних досліджень і практичного досвіду. Стаття може бути корисною для викладачів закладів вищої освіти, педагогів-методистів, дослідників у сфері освіти та студентів, які прагнуть підвищити рівень професійної іншомовної компетентності.
ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ВПЛИВУ СИНЕРГІЗМУ В ПЕРЕКЛАДІ ХУДОЖНІХ ТЕКСТІВ АНГЛІЙСЬКОЮ МОВОЮ НА ЗБЕРЕЖЕННЯ АВТОРСЬКОЇ СТИЛІСТИКИ

Переклад – це складний процес, важливий елемент мовного контакту, що виникає, коли дві мови існують поряд. У сучасному світі глобалізація і переклад взаємопов’язані, адже вони сприяють соціальній та економічній інтеграції країн. Переклад часто викликає суперечки, адже його природа передбачає запитання про збереження оригінального сенсу та культурних нюансів. Літературний переклад, зокрема, займає особливе місце в культурному обміні, виконуючи роль інтерпретатора звичаїв і традицій різних народів. Мета запропонованої роботи – дослідження впливу синергізму в перекладі художніх текстів на збереження авторської стилістики. Методом аналізу наукової літератури отримано результати, які демонструють, що переклад художніх текстів є складним процесом, котрий передбачає збереження балансу між передачею змісту та авторської стилістики. У цьому контексті синергізм перекладу відкриває нові перспективи в літературних дослідженнях, дозволяючи дослідникам виходити за межі простої трансформації тексту з однієї мови на іншу. Синергізм передбачає узгоджену взаємодію між оригінальним текстом, культурним контекстом, перекладацькими стратегіями та очікуваннями аудиторії. Переклад виконує функцію не лише збереження, а й оновлення оригінального тексту, аби він мав змогу «вижити» в нових культурних і мовних середовищах, надаючи йому нові значення та можливість впливати на аудиторії різних епох. Процес перекладу неминуче включає творчий підхід до перепрочитання та адаптації оригіналу. У сучасну епоху транскордонних і міждисциплінарних літературних досліджень синергізм у перекладі сприяє глибшому розумінню художнього тексту. Творчий підхід до перекладу, який підкреслює взаємодію між мовними і культурними системами, забезпечує збереження стилістичної цілісності оригіналу. Концепція синергізму перекладу слугує основою для розвитку перекладознавства. Це дозволяє аналізувати роль перекладача як посередника та співтворця, що додає тексту нову естетичну та культурну значущість. Висновки: дослідження синергізму в перекладі стає ключовим у розумінні як окремих творів, так і літературних систем загалом.

Dermoid cysts (choristomas) are non-tumoral growth of skin with a normal structure that appear in atypical parts of the body. A 6-month-old calf (bull) of the Ukrainian grey breed was diagnosed with a pigmented neoplasm of a rounded shape with hair on the dorso-medial edge of the lower eyelid of the left eye. Upon immobilization and anesthesia, the neoplasm was surgically removed and histopathology was carried out. Microscopically, the base of the neoplasm consists of dense unstructured fibrous connective tissue, externally covered with a multilayer keratinized epithelium. In the deep layers, hair follicles, end parts of the sweat and sebaceous glands are localized. An area of chronic inflammation with ulceration characterized by epithelial desquamation and cellular infiltration of the connective tissue base was identified. In this case, an ocular dermoid was diagnosed in a calf of the Ukrainian grey breed.
