Traumatic intrusion of a primary tooth and its management: a case report
Authors: Alqadi Soha , Alsaedi Rahaf , Alahmadi Renad , Mirah Mahir , Dar-Odeh Najla
Published: October 2023

Background: Intrusive luxation injuries of primary teeth are characterized by displacement of a tooth in an apical direction with or without alveolar bone fracture. These injuries account for a substantial proportion of luxation injuries in primary teeth. Management is challenging due to the possible presence of other comorbidities such as caries, the potential adverse outcomes affecting the developing permanent successors, and the likely lack of cooperation associated with young age of the patients.
Case presentation: We present a case of complete intrusion of tooth #81 that followed a fall trauma in a 5-year old girl. The case was conservatively managed with the successful outcome of re-eruption of the primary tooth and subsequent healthy eruption of the permanent successor.
Conclusion: This report highlights the importance of early diagnosis, maintenance of optimum oral hygiene and conservative management in specified cases, which increases the odds of treatment success.
Pattern of mandibular third molar impaction: a cross-sectional CBCT study
Authors: Zain-Alabdeen Ebtihal
Published: October 2023

Objective: This study aimed to describe the mandibular third molar's impaction classifications in three dimensions by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). These classifications might help oral and maxillofacial surgeons in making a clinical choice about when to extract a tooth or prepare another treatment strategy.
Methods: A total of 259 CBCT scans were found eligible for inclusion in the study. Impacted mandibular third molars were radiographically assessed for Pell and Gregory's classification (impaction), Winter's classification (angulation of the impaction), and the relation of the impacted mandibular molar to the buccal and lingual bone (horizontal relation).
Results: Mesioangular angulation constituted 55.6% of all angulations, with horizontal angulation constituting 21.62% and vertical angulation 16.22%. The most frequent horizontal relation was lingual impaction. The most prevalent level of impaction was level A, and the most prevalent ramus relationships were class II at 52.51%. Both men and women were classified similarly, and there was no discernible difference between the right and left sides of the mouth (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Additional research with a bigger sample size is required to assess the Saudi Arabian third mandibular molar impaction pattern.

Gender differentiated impacts of climate change on agriculture in Nepal: A review
Authors: Chhetri Bidhya , Ghimire Sudip
Published: October 2023

Gender disparities\' sensitivity to climate change impacts in agriculture is a major source of concern. This review investigates the gender-specific effects of climate change on the agricultural sector. The study is based on a meticulous review of over sixty-seven published reports, documents, articles, and presentations by the Government of Nepal (GoN) and numerous international organizations active in the domains of gender, climate change, and agriculture. We also examine the experiences of men and women regarding the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Nepal, encompassing their respective roles, duties, and vulnerabilities. This study actively contributes to the ongoing international discourse on gender and climate change. The literature review reveals that while climate change affects both men and women, it disproportionately increases the workload for women due to their limited access to reliable weather prediction information, crop and livelihood diversification alternatives, and decision-making authority. Incorporating gender considerations into initiatives for climate change adaptation and mitigation can result in enhanced and enduring solutions. This study concludes that climate change impacts have the potential to exacerbate existing gender inequalities and recommends the adoption of gender-responsive approaches when addressing climate change challenges.

The mystery of man in the teachings of Blaise Pascal: between mysticism and rationality
Authors: Gutova Svetlana Georgievna , Berillo Ivan Viktorovich
Published: October 2023

The article explores an anthropological essence of Blaise Pascal's philosophical views along with their analysis in the context of his personal being and also of common directions in the Modern Age intellectual and philosophical movement. An unbreakable connection between Pascal's ideas and setting cartesian scientific and philosophical world-outlook is shown here, as well as some cardinal differencies of his thoughts on nature, significance and perspectives for human being from pure rationalistic treatings of these problems. The main anthropological work of Pascal ("Pensees") is charaterised under the angle of its structure and method. The comparison of reception and evaluation of Pascal' and Socrates' personalities and ideas by the modern European philosophers (W. Windelband, E. Kassirer) and Russian religious thinkers (B.P. Vysheslavtzev, S.S. Glagolev) provided here. It is shown that in his reasonings on human being, wich are traditionally considered as religous and mystical, Pascal keeps some faithfullness towards "geometric spirit" of cartesian philosophy. It is manifestated by using of mathematical terminologies and also by constructing of phenomenological topica of human existing. The last one must be charaterised as vector determinanta or as intentional existence. The principal attention is given to concepts of love and heart with stressing that Pascal realised his specific method of exploring the human being problems through these intuitive and existential symbols in "world - self - being" triada. In conclusion it is determined that Pascal's anthropological ideas as presented in "Pensees" are to be considered as some christian apologetic experience (according to author's personal intentions) and also as one of the foundings of contemporary philosophical anthropology (due to their principially critical primal points).
Value Derived from Digitalised Human Resource Management: Perspectives from South Africa
Authors: Chapano Munodani , Mey Michelle Ruth , Werner Amanda
Published: October 2023

A lack of empirical research on the value derived from digitalised human resource management contributes to the sluggish adoption of its technology in organisations, also in South African workplaces. In this article, we present empirical findings of the value derived from digitalised human resource management. These findings are based on the observations of 312 human resource management professionals and line managers in the automotive industry in South Africa. The data were collected by means of a cross-sectional quantitative survey design using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. The findings of this study provide evidence of perceived value and impact value derived from digitalised human resource management. The perceived value of digitalised human resource management was evident for (1) performance, (2) stakeholders, (3) employees, and (4) talent creation, whereas the impact value was observed for (5) employment relations, (6) time and cost savings, and (7) human resource administration and control. These seven value factors were categorised as operational, relational or transformational, indicating the level at which the value of digitalised human resource management was realised. In the study, we provide a strong case for investing in the technology of digitalised human resource management to optimise strategic human resource management and maximise digitalised value in organisations. We caution human resource management practitioners that digitalisation is not an end goal, but a means to greater organisational effectiveness and stakeholder satisfaction.
Efficacy of Plant Extracts against Carbapenem Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: A Notorious Pathogen in the Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Paneri Manita , Sevta Prashant , Yagnik Vipul D.
Published: October 2023

Carbapenem was originally regarded as a cornerstone therapeutic for Gram-negative bacterial infections that could be fatal, but these pathogens are rapidly acquiring resistance to it by various methods such as forming biofilms, mutations in porin channels, overexpression of efflux pumps, altering or modifying antibiotics, and by horizontal gene transfer of resistance biomarkers. Among Gram-negative pathogens, the World Health Organization has prioritized Acinetobacter baumannii as a “pathogen of concern.” A. baumannii strains have a variety of antibiotics resistance pathways, making them resistant to the majority of antibiotics. Antibiotics are used indiscriminately and excessively, causing extensive natural selection pressure and allowing just the most versatile variants of A. baumannii to flourish. Evolutionary changes are unavoidable, but the widespread utilization of antimicrobials in communities, hospitals, and agriculture industries is certainly contributing to the outbreak. Antibiotic resistance has resulted in a number of adverse outcomes such as inadequacy of antimicrobials, persistent infections, and physical ailments that cause the patients to lose momentum, longer stay in the hospital, increased mortality, and morbidity, as well as increased cost that can overburden the patients and even the hospitals. Therefore, optimizing efficient alternate natural antibacterial compounds is a critical aspect of addressing the problem of antibiotic resistance. Various studies (in vitro) done by scientists and researchers have illustrated the efficacy of plant extracts and their essential oils against A. baumannii and other pathogens. The most urgent need is to do research in vivo and more screening of natural products or plant parts, which might lead to the discovery of novel therapeutically efficient antibacterial agents against resistant bacterial infections.
Organ-preserving enucleation in a case of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of pancreas
Authors: Karkera Parag , Banerjee Arka , Munghate Gayatri , Bendre Pradnya
Published: October 2023

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is a rare pancreatic tumor affecting mostly females in the second or third decade of life. These tumors have a low malignant potential, and hence, surgical resection remains the main treatment. Large tumors may present with compressive symptoms such as abdominal pain or vomiting. Once resected completely, SPNs usually have an excellent long-term prognosis. We report a 16-year-old girl who presented with vomiting and abdominal pain localized to the right upper quadrant. Imaging showed an encapsulated tumor arising from the pancreatic head which prompted us to perform organ-preserving enucleation. Histopathology confirmed the tumor as an SPN.

Authors: Петько И. А. , Усович А. К.
Published: October 2023

Данные о формировании и преобразованиях желез простаты человека из эпителиальных тяжей в сложные альвеолярно-трубчатые железы, особенностях их роста и динамики развития в течение пренатального онтогенеза у детей многочисленны, но фрагментарны и не систематизированы. Уточнение сроков появления и формирования тех или иных структур является важным для наблюдения за правильным развитием мочеполового аппарата плода мальчиков в постнатальном онтогенезе. Цель данного исследования – выявить возрастные особенности структурной организации главных желез простаты человека во всех зонах органа в пренатальном и постнатальном онтогенезе мальчиков. Исследование выполнено на серийных гистологических срезах тазовой области 51 зародыша и плодов человека, 36 простат мальчиков от неонатального периода до второго детского возраста. Изучены форма и размеры концевых отделов желез и их просветов, эпителиоцитов концевых отделов. Результаты показали, что образование и канализация эпителиальных тяжей простаты определялись уже в раннем фетальном периоде. Установлены изменения размера и формы концевых отделов желез простаты в пренатальном периоде. Установлены особенности структурных преобразований главных желез в различных зонах простаты. Формирование концевых отделов желез простаты происходит не непосредственно из эпителиальных тяжей, а последовательно: эпителиальные тяжи преобразуются в простатические проточки, из которых формируются концевые отделы желез. Возраст с 1 года до 12 лет – это период медленного роста концевых отделов желез простаты. В 1 – 12 лет имеются особенности структурной организации главных желез в различных зонах простаты. В детские возрастные периоды различаются формы концевых отделов желез и их просветов в разных зонах простаты.
“Conselho de amigo, aviso do céu”: contributos para a análise semântico-pragmática dos atos ilocutórios de conselho e de aviso em confronto com o de ameaça
Authors: De Almeida Carla Aurélia
Published: October 2023

Based on selected examples of spoken European Portuguese, this paper discusses the organization and functioning of the illocutionary acts of advice and warning, highlighting the resemblances and differences between them and discourse acts such as threats and promises, hypothetic warnings and conditional threats. After the analysis of Grice’s notion of “meaning” and Austin’s notion of “uptake”, we emphasize the relation between intention and convention, in the analysis of Searle’s illocutionary acts, and map the rules that determine illocutionary force indicating devices. The interpretation of illocutionary values in the sequence of interventions highlights the relation between discursive practices and face work theory.
Interpretação de pronomes e aquisição de dependências referenciais em português L2
Authors: Fiéis Alexandra , Madeira Ana
Published: October 2023

This study investigates whether L2 learners of (European) Portuguese display asymmetries in their comprehension of reflexive and non-reflexive pronouns, as has been found in L2 English (e.g., Kim, Montrul & Yoon, 2014). Forty- one intermediate learners of L2 Portuguese, who were L1 speakers of Spanish, English and Chinese, completed a truth-value judgement task (Silva, 2015) testing both reflexive and non-reflexive object clitics. The three groups achieved targetlike results in their interpretation of both types of pronouns. These findings indicate that, unlike strong pronouns, clitic pronouns pose no difficulties for learners, which suggests that, as previously shown for L1 acquisition (e.g., McKee, 1992), the grammatical status of pronouns (strong vs. clitic) is also relevant in L2 acquisition.

Chemical bond overlap descriptors from multiconfiguration wavefunctions
Authors: Santos-Jr Carlos , Moura Jr. Renaldo
Published: October 2023

Chemical bonds are fundamental in chemistry, serving as the foundation for understanding molecular properties. Over time, various theories and descriptors have evolved to characterize these bonds since the inception of quantum mechanics. This report focuses on extending overlap density and its topological descriptors (OP/TOP) using Multiconfigurational Self-Consistent Field (MCSCF) wavefunctions, highlighting their importance. We present a comparative analysis of OP/TOP descriptors using CASSCF and DCD-CAS(2) wavefunctions for a diverse range of molecular systems, including X$-$O bonds in X$-$OH (where X = H, Li, Na, H$_2$B, H$_3$C, H$_2$N, HO, F) and Li$-$X' (where X' = F, Cl, and Br) molecular test systems. CAS(10,16) and CAS(6,20) calculations challenge the MCSCF-based OP/TOP bond descriptors, with comparisons to QTAIM and LVM descriptors. Additionally, we examine the Li--F dissociation profile using OP/TOP descriptors. Our study reveals that chemical bonds formed between atoms with varying electronegativities exhibit overlap density shifted towards the more electronegative atom, as predicted by the OP/TOP descriptors. Quantitative assessments using critical point overlap density and its Laplacian descriptors show reduced spreading in bonds with increasing electronegativity differences. The sensitivity of OP/TOP descriptors to ionic/neutral inversion during Li--F dissociation showcased their potential in elucidating intricate bond phenomena. These insights into multiconfigurational wavefunctions, facilitated by OP/TOP descriptors, open new avenues for understanding chemical bond dynamics across multiconfigurational and multireference wavefunction classes, offering novel applications in the field of chemistry.
Attraction Between Like Charged Ions in Ionic Liquids: Unveiling the Enigma of Tetracyanoborate Anions
Authors: Goloviznina Kateryna , Bakis Eduards , Philippi Frederik , Scaglione Nicolas , Rekis Toms , Laimina Laura , Costa Gomes Margarida , Padua Agilio
Published: October 2023

Intermolecular interactions in ionic liquids are mainly governed by Coulomb forces. Attraction between cations has been previously observed and was attributed to dispersion interactions between non-polar moieties, hydrogen bonding, or π-stacking. In this study, we present the intriguing behaviour of tetracyanoborate anions in ionic liquids that, unlike their dicyanamide and tricyanomethanide counterparts, form dimers in both solid and liquid phases. A joint simulation and experimental study uncovers the origin of such anion-anion attraction: stabilisation by induction and dispersion forces between several cyano-groups, which is strong enough to overcome electrostatic repulsion. These findings open up new opportunities in the rational design of ionic liquids, where interactions between ions of the same charge can be controlled and fine-tuned by the presence of cyano-groups.
Metal Ions Turn on a Stereoselective Nonenzymatic Reduction of Keto Acids by the Coenzyme NADH
Authors: Mayer Robert , Moran Joseph
Published: October 2023

The relationship between genetic molecules and metabolism is one of the longest standing problems for the origin of life. A central molecule within early metabolism is the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(H)), a modified ribonucleotide and reducing agent. Yet, without enzymes, NADH does not reduce carbonyl compounds, its primary metabolic substrates, leading to an apparent paradox regarding its role in the evolution of metabolism. We now report that abundant metal ions turn on a nonenzymatic, stereoselective, and potentially primordial reduction reaction of keto acids by NADH. Kinetic, mechanistic, and computational studies elucidate the reaction mechanism and the way stereochemistry is transferred. Complexes of metals with RNA-derived coenzymes could have mediated the transition from inorganic to organic reducing agents and the propagation of chirality in early metabolism.
Digital DNA Strand Displacement for Molecular Computing

Published: October 2023

Multiplexed analysis of feature biomarkers enhances the accuracy of molecular diagnostic results. Molecular computing systems exhibited potentials for intelligent analysis of multiplexed biomarkers. However, the chemical reaction networks of current molecular computing systems suffer from the use of large number of oligonucleotides and limited encoding capability. Here, we developed a molecular computing platform termed as Digital DNA Strand Displacement (DDSD), utilizing the features of DNA polymerase-mediated strand extension and displacement to achieve robust linear weight encoding as well as exponential weight encoding. This approach not only ensures precise molecular diagnostics but also enables precise identification of specific infection types. The DNA polymerase-based digital DNA strand displacement guaranteed high specificity in molecular reactions and reduced the number of DNA strands used in molecular computing. We conducted double-blind experiments to diagnose and identify bacterial or viral infection samples accurately. Furthermore, we demonstrated two approaches (cascade strand displacement and multi-way DNA junction) for computing capability upgradation, enabling weighted calculations for at least 15 feature biomarkers. Digital DNA strand displacement lays the foundation for more intricate and accurate molecular computing and diagnostics.
A STUDY ON LEGAL POLICIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR SHIP BALLAST WATER TREATMENT
Authors: Linh Le Nguyen Viet , Tung Vo Dinh , M. Al-Tawaha Abdel Rahman , Tuyen Nguyen Dinh
Published: October 2023

Shipping plays a very important role in the movement of most goods in the world. Ships are a means of transport used to transport goods at sea. Every day, there are many ships moving back and forth between different seas at a high frequency. Each ship’s voyage can be full, low-load, or no-load. Using ballast water is a long-standing solution used to balance and stabilize ships during voyages. Ballast water is taken into the ship and discharged anywhere in the sea. This means that the organisms in the ballast water can also migrate to any part of the sea. There are beneficial organisms and harmful organisms for the ecosystem in the waters they are brought in. Organisms that grow unprofitably will destroy the stable ecology of the seas they reach. To solve this problem, it is necessary to have appropriate legal policies and solutions to treat ballast water. This short review presents current regulatory policies and solutions for ballast water treatment. Some challenges and prospects for future regulatory policies and solutions for ballast water treatment are also outlined.
Mental states dynamics in civilians during the war in Ukraine
Authors: Zhdanova І. , Shakhova О. , Rodenkova V.
Published: October 2023

The article presents the results of the mental states dynamics study in the Eastern region civilians of Ukraine during the Russian military aggression on the territory of Ukraine in the first year of the war. The paper substantiates the relevance of the study of the mental states of the civilian population in the context of maintaining mental health problem and preventing post-traumatic stress disorders. War is a prolonged traumatic situation during which episodes of a threat to life and health occur with a certain frequency, and this affects the dynamics of the mental states of the civilian population. An additional traumatic effect on the psyche is exerted by the information and psychological warfare that people are exposed to through Internet technologies. The study found that at the beginning of hostilities in Ukraine, the most typical mental states of civilians in the eastern regions of Ukraine were fear, confusion, helplessness, despondency, depression, panic, irritability and anger. These mental states are typical of the acute experience of a traumatic stressful situation. A year after the start of the war, respondents noted a significant decrease in the frequency of experiencing fear, confusion and panic. At the same time, sadness, depression, fatigue, exhaustion, anxiety, and irritability became common. These are mental states that testify to the reduced energy potential of the population, the danger of new fears and outbursts of irritation. The consequence of this may be a violation of interpersonal relationships, professional maladjustment, the development of psychosomatic and post-traumatic disorders. At the same time, a number of respondents showed an interest in life, "protective indifference", peace. The results of the study can be used in the development of psychotechnologies to minimize the consequences of war-related injuries, as well as to preserve and support the mental health of the population in war conditions and in the long term.
Psychometric indicators and adaptation ch. Osgud's method "semantic differential" (ukrainian version of the method
Authors: Yanovska S. , Sevostyanov P. , Turenko R.
Published: October 2023

The article presents the results of adaptation and standardization of the Semantic Differential method (Ch. Osgood). The purpose of the article was to adapt the Ukrainian version of the Semantic Differential method and determine the possibilities of its use in further psychological research. In order to meaningfully validate the adapted version of the Semantic Differential method, five experts were involved - philological specialists in the field of English-Ukrainian translation. In the course of joint work with experts, the following was carried out: direct translation of the original text of the method of semantic differential by Ch. Osgood; retroversion; correction of the translated material in order to increase the degree of compliance with the linguistic features of Ukrainian speakers (taking into account compliance with the theoretical construct of the methodology); final substantive and linguistic evaluation of the Ukrainian-language version; selection of the optimal sequence of pairs of adjectives. The work was carried out in several stages: translation; expert substantive evaluation of the preliminary translation; standardization of the questionnaire; collection of relevant norms on the domestic sample (563 persons (24.01-11.95 years old), among whom 198 are carriers of the male gender; 365 – female). All subjects were fluent in the Ukrainian language; the level of knowledge of English is not lower than B1 (Intermediate). Language knowledge was tested using express methods on the eve of testing. The testing took place in the following order: the original (English) version of the Semantic Differential (the attitude towards oneself was assessed); Rosenberg self-esteem scale; subjective scaling of one's self; adapted author's Ukrainian modification of the Semantic Differential (attitude towards oneself was also assessed). During the analysis of the psychometric indicators of the adapted version of the methodology, its content and construct validity were checked; reliability and coherence of its points; in addition, test norms for the Ukrainian-speaking sample were obtained. Test norms were determined separately for groups of men and women. It was established that the adapted version of the Semantic Differential is characterized by high psychometric indicators, so it allows the use of the method for further study of the attitude to phenomena determined by the purpose of a separate study.

Griboyedov’un Akıldan Bela(Горе от ума) adlı eserinde Batı ve Rus tipi bireyselleşme ana kahraman Çatski ve bir bütün olarak karşısında yer alan Famusov dünyası olarak adlandırılan kahramanlar bağlamında değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuştur. Çalışmamız kapsamında disiplinler arası yöntemle bireysellik olgusu çerçevesinde sosyolojik-felsefi düşüncenin edebiyattaki yansıması örneklendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu çerçevede Batı ve Rus medeniyetini birbirinden ayıran pek çok faktör olmasıyla beraber birey ve bireysellik olguları bağlamında Hıristiyanlığın önemli bir dönemeci oluşturduğu görülmüş ve Orta Çağ’da iki medeniyette de bireyselleşmenin Hıristiyan değerler etrafında biçimlendiği anlaşılmıştır. Rönesans ve Aydınlanma, Batı dünyasında birey kültünün merkeze yerleştiği bir dünya yaratırken Rusya bu sürece ancak 18. yüzyılda Çar I. Petro reformlarıyla dâhil olabilmiştir. Ne var ki dışarıdan dikteyle dayatılan reformlarla büyük ölçüde başarı sağlanmış olsa da çarpık bir birey olgusunun ortaya çıktığı yeni bir toplumsal yapı ortaya çıkmıştır. Ancak 18.yüzyılda Petro reformları ve 19. yüzyıldaki tarihsel toplumsal koşulların ardışıklığı bağlamında Rusya’nın da Batı ile benzer bir medeniyet yoluna girdiği görülür. Yaratıcılığı çağın koşulları içinde biçimlenen Griboyedov, akıl sahibi, dünyayı değiştirme, özgürlük ve bireysellik düsturundan hareket eden aydınlanma bireyi olarak Çatski’yi betimler. Ancak Griboyedov’un kahramanı Çatski, Famusov dünyasıyla sembolleştirilen dünyada tutunmayı başaramaz. Bu noktadan hareketle çalışmamızda vardığımız temel sonuç; bireyselliğin yokluğuyla karakterize edilebilecek Famusov dünyasında Çatski’nin başarısızlığı kahramanın değil; Rusya’da bireyselliğin gelişiminin başarısızlığını ifade eder.

This research has the desire to prove the role of financial performance in strengthening the relationship between the role of the board of commissioners of liquidity and CSR. Research was conducted on consumer sector companies in the Indonesian capital market. The research was carried out from 2017 – 2021. The data analysis method used is Moderating Regression Analysis (MRA). The process of statistical testing is done with the help of STATA. The result of founding independent commissioners' roles and liquidity has a positive effect on CSR disclosure, besides that company performance which functions as a moderating variable also has a positive effect on company performance. In testing the moderating effect it was found that the company's performance weakened the relationship between liquidity and CSR, while the second test found that the company's performance strengthened the board of commissioners' relationship with CSR disclosure in consumers of good companies in the Indonesian Stock Market, Theoretically, our research will contribute to the development of the concept of green accounting and governance, which of course will encourage increased corporate reputation, besides that practically our research results can be used as a policy reference for public companies in Indonesia in increasing the implementation of environmental, social and environmental responsibility values governance.

Does The Psychology of Investment Decisions Depend on Risk Perception And Financial Literacy?
Authors: Anifa Anis Sukha , Soegiharto Soegiharto
Published: October 2023

This study examines and analyses the effect of overconfidence, herding effect, and disposition effect bias on investment decisions mediated by risk perception and moderated by financial literacy. The sample for this study uses 184 investors from 19 provinces in Indonesia using a purposive sampling technique. Regression partial least squares test the hypothesis with the Warp-PLS application version. The study's results found that overconfidence bias does not affect risk perception. Herding effect bias and disposition bias have positive effects on risk perception. Risk perception has a positive effect on investment decisions. Risk perception fully mediates the relationship between disposition effect bias on investment decisions. However, risk perception does not mediate the relationship between overconfidence bias and herding effect bias on investment decisions. Meanwhile, financial literacy must moderate the relationship between risk perception and investment decisions. The implication of the study is expected to assist the Financial Services Authority in increasing investors' financial literacy in the capital market.

Published: October 2023

One of the most urgent tasks of robotics is to perform work in conditions where a person cannot work, in extreme conditions. At the same time, the goal is to find a person at a distance, often a considerable distance, in safe conditions. From this follows the need to create robots that will be able to work by themselves either in autonomous mode or in remote control mode. At the same time, the task of detecting sources of combustion, which can be solved by a mobile robot equipped with specific sensors, is extremely urgent. Therefore, the task of developing an interactive control system for such a robot becomes urgent. The subject of this study is a mobile robot control program. The purpose of this article is to improve the efficiency of the fire safety system through the development of a mobile robot with appropriate sensors, as well as an interactive control system. To achieve the goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: analyze the methods of creating prototypes of mobile robots, develop a structural diagram of a mobile robot, choose components, choose the necessary sensors based on the goals of ensuring fire safety, develop an automated control system based on a modern single-board computer and intuitively develop clear operator interface. Conclusions: as a result of research, a structural diagram of a mobile robot was developed, its components were selected, it was assembled, equipped with sensors, and software was created that allows you to control it interactively. The developed prototype of a mobile robot will reduce the risk of fires and the need for human intervention, ensuring an operational response to danger. In addition, a mobile robot with the ability to independently navigate and recognize danger will ensure the optimization of work processes at various enterprises, or to check dangerous areas, improve the safety of workers or people around and reduce material costs. The result of the work is a functioning robot prototype with an implemented interactive control system
On the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution to a boundary value problem for a nonlinear ordinary differential equation of 4n order
Authors: Abduragimov G. E.
Published: October 2023

The paper considers a two-point boundary value problem with homogeneous boundary conditions for a single nonlinear ordinary differential equation of order 4n. Using the well-known Krasnoselsky theorem on the expansion (compression) of a cone, sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive solution to the problem under consideration are obtained. To prove the uniqueness of a positive solution, the principle of compressed operators was invoked. In conclusion, an example is given that illustrates the fulfillment of the obtained sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of the problem under study.
