La presente investigación aborda la incidencia en el consumo de agua potable durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Puerto Vallarta es un destino de playa de los más importantes del pacífico mexicano, actualmente la producción de agua y su consumo se encuentran casi en punto de equilibrio. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo determinar y analizar los consumos de agua potable antes y durante la crisis sanitaria, que permita establecer la suficiencia en su abastecimiento. La investigación parte de un análisis cuantitativo descriptivo de fuentes primarias, hacer una proyección de la población por el método de regresión potencial para 2019, los índices de ocupación hotelera y determinar los consumos y demanda del agua en Puerto Vallarta. Los resultados evidencian que los consumos analizados respecto a un año típico. Aunque la pandemia causada por el COVID-19 representó una disminución importante entre los patrones de consumo en los usuarios de servicios hoteleros con respecto al año 2019, con una variación de -27.85%. Pero para el consumo doméstico, a pesar de las restricciones sanitarias, se incrementó con una variación de 2.11%. Puerto Vallarta por ser un destino de playa, cuenta con un clima cálido y de seguridad para el desarrollo de actividades de sol y playa, el cual ha generado un mayor incremento de turistas en los últimos años. Por consecuencia, a mayor incremento de turistas, equivale a mayor demanda en infraestructura para la hotelería, esto conlleva a mayor demanda de servicios básicos.

У статті обгрунтовано, що процес економічних досліджень супроводжується використанням низки загальних та спеціальних методів, які у взаємодоповненні допомагають всебічно
пізнати процес або явище, виділити його складові, передумови виникнення, особливості протікання та наслідки. Визначено, що факторний аналіз серед цих методів посідає вагоме місце.
Він дозволяє вивчити структури взаємозв’язків між змінними (класифікація змінних) і виявлення внутрішніх закономірностей шляхом «стиснення» статистичної інформації, у зв’язку з
чим факторний аналіз використовується або як метод класифікації, або як метод скорочення
даних. Основним завданням факторного аналізу є перехід від первісної системи великого числа
взаємопов’язаних показників до відносно менших прихованих (латентних) факторів. Запропоновано використовувати метод факторного аналізу, що дозволяє виокремити взаємозалежні
показники, як складовий елемент методики оцінки економічної безпеки підприємства. Детально
описано приклад застосування факторного аналізу за визначеними етапами на прикладі сільськогосподарського підприємства. Визначено та розглянуто фактори впливу на економічну
безпеку сільськогосподарського підприємства.
Проведено оцінику впливу факторів на рівень економічної безпеки сільськогосподарських
підприємств. Доведено ефективність використання факторного аналізу для визначення впливу
факторів на рівень економічної безпеки сільськогосподарських підприємств. Окреслено перспективи досліджень проблематики економічної безпеки, що полягають у подальшому аналізі

ДЕТЕРМІНОВАНА МОДЕЛЬ ЗАДАЧІ БЮДЖЕТУВАННЯ
Authors: Терещук І.В. , Захарченко А.О.
Published: May 2024

Стаття присвячена розробці динамічної детермінованої моделі задачі бюджетування як складової частини математичного забезпечення СППР бюджетування об’єктів
класу однієї природи (підприємств групи «А»). Такі моделі призначені для прогнозу
показників фінансування виробничої програми на кожну добу з урахуванням зміни
показників протягом місяця.
Дослідження системи бюджетування дозволило виділити три види бюджетів:
підсумкові, функціональні, операційні. Система функціональних бюджетів утворює
бюджетну структуру підприємства. Відповідно до аналізу характеристик об’єкта
управління та класифікації змінних формалізовано структуру бюджетів за допомогою
логіко-формальних зв’язків між різними видами бюджетів.
На підставі розробленої логіко-формальної моделі бюджетування сформовано
параметричну модель-структуру взаємозв’язку вхідних та вихідних змінних, що представлена системою рівнянь (для витратної та доходної частини бюджетування). Їх
параметри показують відмінність даного об’єкта від подібних до нього, що визначається за експериментальними даними. Модель дозволяє прогнозувати бюджетні
показники підприємства.
Відповідно до обраного методу моделювання модель задачі управління для кожного з трьох рівнів системи представлена у вигляді системи нелінійних диференціальних рівнянь. Представлено ітеративний розрахунок нелінійностей динамічних моделей
3-го та 2-го рівней системи бюджетування у зв’язку з тим, що чисельне рішення
систем диференціальних рівнянь здійснюється методом Рунге-Кутти 4-го порядку, що
передбачає апроксимацію змінних на попередній ітерації.
Наукова новизна роботи представлена динамічною моделлю прогнозу показників
фінансування виробничої програми щодня, яка враховує випадковий характер коливання показників моделі попередніх періодів. Дані моделі можуть бути використані
для вирішення задачі оперативного управління на наступну добу протягом місяця
користувачами системи. Диференціальні рівняння являють собою інструментарій,
який може бути реалізований у спеціальному математичному та програмному забезпеченні СППР бюджетування.
Надалі передбачається провести параметричну ідентифікацію моделі, після чого
моделі будуть придатні для прогнозу показників.

Use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for studying cognitive control in depressed patients: A systematic review
Authors: Hernández-Sauret Ana , Martin de la Torre Ona , Redolar-Ripoll Diego
Published: May 2024

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating mental disorder and the leading cause of disease burden. Major depressive disorder is associated with emotional impairment and cognitive deficit. Cognitive control, which is the ability to use perceptions, knowledge, and information about goals and motivations to shape the selection of goal-directed actions or thoughts, is a primary function of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Psychotropic medications are one of the main treatments for MDD, but they are not effective for all patients. An alternative treatment is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Previous studies have provided mixed results on the cognitive-enhancing effects of TMS treatment in patients with MDD. Some studies have found significant improvement, while others have not. There is a lack of understanding of the specific effects of different TMS protocols and stimulation parameters on cognitive control in MDD. Thus, this review aims to synthesize the effectiveness of the TMS methods and a qualitative assessment of their potential benefits in improving cognitive functioning in patients with MDD. We reviewed 21 studies in which participants underwent a treatment of any transcranial magnetic stimulation protocol, such as repetitive TMS or theta-burst stimulation. One of the primary outcome measures was any change in the cognitive control process. Overall, the findings indicate that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may enhance cognitive function in patients with MDD. Most of the reviewed studies supported the notion of cognitive improvement following TMS treatment. Notably, improvements were predominantly observed in inhibition, attention, set shifting/flexibility, and memory domains. However, fewer significant improvements were detected in evaluations of visuospatial function and recognition, executive function, phonemic fluency, and speed of information processing. This review found evidence supporting the use of TMS as a treatment for cognitive deficits in patients with MDD. The results are promising, but further research is needed to clarify the specific TMS protocol and stimulation locations that are most effective.

O objetivo geral deste estudo foi compreender o comportamento investidor dos professores da rede estadual de ensino de Caetité –BA respondendo o seguinte problema: qual o comportamento investidor dos professores da rede estadual de ensino de Caetité –BA antes da COVID-19? Este artigo buscou ainda, como objetivos específicos, descobrir a porcentagem da renda ou do salário destinado a investimentos, identificar os produtos de investimento utilizados antes da pandemia e conhecer o perfil de investidor dos participantes antes do período pandêmico. O presente trabalho é uma pesquisa de campo com natureza básica, abordagem quantitativa e do tipo descritiva. A amostra é composta por 23 docentes participantes, com os dados coletados por meio de formulário eletrônico desenvolvido no Google Forms e analisados através da estatística descritiva. De acordo com as respostas, a maioria dos pesquisados destinavam até 30% da renda ou salário para investimentos, principalmente na renda fixa, demonstrando um perfil de investidor mais conservador e com a poupança sendo o produto de investimento preferido. Entretanto, a maioria não soube definir seu perfil corretamente. Reconhecer o perfil de investidor faz-se necessário para maior familiaridade com suas preferências, objetivos e tolerância aos riscos do mercado, ajudando na busca de produtos adequados e rentáveis. É sugerida a continuidade da pesquisa, para descobrir se o grupo pesquisado sofreu impactos nas finanças pessoais depois da crise sanitária e se houve mudanças nos hábitos comportamentais de investimento, além do tema apresentar grande importância e existir uma escassez na literatura atual acerca deste assunto com professores brasileiros.

O Programa Nacional de Controle do Tabagismo (PNCT) desenvolvido pelo Instituto Nacional do Câncer (INCA), órgão do Ministério da Saúde responsável pela articulação da rede de tratamento do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), é referência mundial no combate ao tabagismo. O Núcleo de Apoio à Saúde da Família (NASF), foi implantado no município de Três Rios -RJ no ano de 2008, com intuito de apoiar a Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF), com ele, foi inserido o PNCT na Atenção Primária à Saúde do município. Com o objetivo de apresentar as ações desenvolvidas no Programa de Controle ao Tabagismo (PCT) do município de Três Rios pela equipe multiprofissional, foi realizado este relato de experiência. Para o referencial teórico utilizou-se documentos disponibilizados nos portais eletrônicos do Inca, do Ministério da Saúde e das Organizações Mundial da Saúde e Pan-Americana de Saúde, assim como a base de dados SciELO. O tabagismo constitui-se uma doença de saúde pública com números relevantes e apesar do Brasil possuir políticas públicas fortes, o que contribuiu para que ocorresse uma queda na prevalência do tabagismo no país, ainda assim, essa doença permanece entre as principais causas de mortes evitáveis no mundo.

This paper introduces an innovative approach to reducing crop wastage by converting traditional onion warehouses into smart warehouses using IoT and AI technologies. We propose an IoT-based monitoring solution that continuously analyses and communicates the health status of onion stock in real time. Additionally, our methodology aims to support farmers by providing them with essential information about their onion stocks, enabling informed decision-making. Traditionally, farmers rely on sensory cues such as onion odor to detect decomposition. However, we propose a technological intervention utilizing image processing and AI-driven sensory mechanisms to enhance the onion detection process. Specifically, cameras are employed to identify sprouted onions, while AI algorithms analyze sensory data to detect rotten onions. Our prototype achieves an impressive 87% efficiency in identifying sprouted onions using camera-based systems. Furthermore, the response of the gas sensing system in detecting rotten onions under prescribed chamber dimensions yields encouraging results. Through the integration of IoT and AI, our methodology offers a promising solution to minimize crop wastage and promote sustainable agricultural practices.

This initiative will use blockchain technology to address issues and inefficiencies in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The traditional pharmaceutical supply chain is vulnerable to problems such as counterfeiting, data inconsistencies, and a lack of transparency.The proposed solution uses a decentralized and transparent blockchain technology to improve the entire traceability, security, and efficiency of the supply chain. The solution uses smart contracts to automate and enforce preset business rules, lowering the risk of mistakes and fraud. Each transaction, from medicine manufacture to distribution and retail, is securely documented in an immutable ledger to provide a tamper-proof and genuine record. This degree of openness gives stakeholders, including as producers, distributors, and pharmacies, real-time information on the status and placement of pharmaceuticals.

Cayenne pepper is a significant plant in tropical regions, utilized not only as a culinary spice but also in the pharmaceutical industry. An effective strategy for enhancing the physical, chemical, and biological quality of soil is the employment of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR, a soil microorganism that colonizes plant roots, can accelerate growth and protect against certain pathogens. The use of PGPR, particularly in biocontrol of plant pathogens and biofertilization, is prevalent across various global regions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of PGPR in boosting the growth of cayenne pepper and was conducted in Peresak Village, Narmada District, West Lombok Regency, NTB Province. The methodology implemented was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) experiment with five treatments and five replications, totaling 25 plant units. The treatments included a control (P0 ml/L) and four PGPR concentrations: P1 (10 ml/L), P2 (20 ml/L), P3 (30 ml/L), and P4 (40 ml/L). Each PGPR dose was dissolved in 1 liter of water and administered at 200 ml per polybag. The findings indicated that PGPR application significantly impacted the growth of cayenne pepper plants, notably increasing plant height, leaf count, branch count, and flower count. The 30 ml/L PGPR concentration (P3) proved most effective in enhancing these growth parameters. The results underscore the substantial benefits of incorporating PGPR as a biofertilizer agent in agricultural practices to optimize crop yields.

Putative type specimens of 18 taxa described from Mozambique collected by Américo Pires de Lima at the beginning of the 20th century are kept in the African collections of the Herbarium of Porto (PO) at the MHNC-UP. These specimens were not collected as part of a dedicated scientific mission, but they and the scientific studies carried out by Pires de Lima represent an important contribution to Portuguese colonial projects. During his scientific career, and despite the lack of support and specialised literature, Pires de Lima described 17 species new to science. In this work we analysed part of the material collected by Pires de Lima, kept in PO at MHNC-UP. Today, only two of the 17 taxa described by Pires de Lima remain as accepted taxa, viz. Tephrosia reptans var. microfoliata (Pires de Lima) Brummitt and Crotalaria retusa var. tunguensis (Pires de Lima) Polhill. In addition, information on Polygala limae Exell, named after Pires de Lima, has also been analysed as this is still accepted. Of over 300 specimens collected by Pires de Lima in the early 20th century, some 40% remain unidentified due to lack of expertise. Undoubtedly, this collection contains many other promising specimens in need of revision, taxonomic update, and other novelties that can be found even in the more ancient and inconspicuous materials.
Effects of Earth’s Oblateness on Black Hole Imaging through Earth–Space and Space–Space Very Long Baseline Interferometry
Authors: Tamar Aditya , Hudson Ben , Palumbo Daniel C. M.
Published: May 2024

Earth-based very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) has made rapid advances in imaging black holes. However, due to the limitations imposed on terrestrial VLBI by the Earth’s finite size and turbulent atmosphere, it is imperative to have a space-based component in future VLBI missions. This paper investigates the effect of the Earth’s oblateness, also known as the J
2 effect, on orbiters in Earth–space and space–space VLBI. The paper provides an extensive discussion on how the J
2 effect can directly impact orbit selection for black hole observations and how, through informed choices of orbital parameters, the effect can be used to a mission’s advantage, a fact that has not been addressed in previous space VLBI investigations. We provide a comprehensive study of how the orbital parameters of several current space VLBI proposals will vary specifically due to the J
2 effect. For black hole accretion flow targets of interest, we demonstrate how the J
2 effect leads to a modest increase in shorter-baseline coverage, filling gaps in the (u, v) plane. Subsequently, we construct a simple analytical formalism that allows isolation of the impact of the J
2 effect on the (u, v) plane without requiring computationally intensive orbit propagation simulations. By directly constructing (u, v) coverage using J
2-affected and J
2-invariant equations of motion, we obtain distinct coverage patterns for M87* and Sgr A* that show extremely dense coverage on short baselines as well as long-term orbital stability on longer baselines.
