Expectations of How Acute Cannabis Use Affects Gambling Experiences and Behaviors
Authors: Smith E. Halle
Published: October 2023

Emerging research shows that many individuals commonly consume cannabis and gamble simultaneously. However, individuals’ expectations for how cannabis consumption will impact their gambling behavior remains unknown. Participants who gambled weekly (N = 472) were recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk and completed assessments of gambling behaviors, cannabis consumption, and expectations about the influence of cannabis on gambling. Over half (55%) of participants reported lifetime cannabis consumption, and almost all those participants (99%) reported gambling under the influence of cannabis (GUIC) in the past month. Most participants agreed with positive expectations of gambling; they expected that they would feel calmer when under the influence of cannabis (61.4%), that gambling would be more enjoyable (61.0%), and that they would be more focused when GUIC (60.6%). At the same time, most participants also agreed with negative expectations of GUIC. They expected cannabis use would make them more careless (56.4%), more anxious (54.8%), and less able to concentrate (53.7%) while gambling. Negative cannabis expectancies were significantly associated with the severity of cannabis consumption. Both positive and negative cannabis expectancies were significantly associated with gambling problems and time spent gambling under the influence of cannabis. These findings indicate that expectations may influence the decision to consume cannabis and gamble simultaneously. This study contributes to the need for addressing cannabis expectations during treatment of gambling problems.
Uneasiness in interdisciplinary research and the importance of metaphors: a case story on building an interdisciplinary chronic pain research team.

Published: October 2023

Interdisciplinary research is increasingly recognized as a key method to tackle complex societal challenges and stimulate creativity to find innovative solutions. Our key goal when starting our collaboration was to come to innovative ways of treating chronic pain. An ambitious goal that requires out-of-the-box and high-risk-high-gain research. However, interdisciplinary research in practice can be uneasy and will not always be succesful. This paper describes a case story focussing on the challenges we faced building an interdisciplinary team. One of the most important lessons is that when working with a multidisciplinary team of researchers, patients and a general (non-scientific) audience, we need to speak a common language. Researchers from different disciplines may think they speak a universal ‘language of science’, but a thorough understanding of each other’s ways of working, research paradigms, methods, and concepts is necessary before they can start working together on solving scientific questions. In fact, if researchers cannot understand each other’s language, they cannot expect patients to understand scientific language either (whatever that may be). When working on healthcare related research questions , we therefore need to understand what language patients use to convey e.g. their stories, symptoms, wishes, questions and, concerns. Lastly, for scientists to engage with a non-scientific audience and for a non-scientific audience to engage with scientists, we need to find and create places to meet and find ways to interact effectively. Language is the medium through which all these interactions take place. It is therefore essential that language takes a central place in the process of multidisciplinary collaboration, interdisciplinary research, patient participation and public engagement. In this case story we share our experiences in creating a common language, summarized in five steps. Metaphors play an important role in this process. We will demonstrate how we reflectively progressed through these steps while enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration, (scientific) innovation and public engagement. This five-step journey can be used as a process-tool for any other high-risk-high-gain multidisciplinary research team seeking to innovate through interdisciplinarity – with the risk of becoming a brilliant failure.
Coral bleaching to starvation: Impending mass mortality and feasibility of sustainable conservation strategies
Authors: Nguyen Minh-Hoang , Vuong Quan-Hoang
Published: October 2023

Coral reefs provide substantial benefits to humans by generating biologically diverse ecosystems and reducing coastal hazards. However, in recent years, mass mortality of coral reefs due to bleaching has been witnessed in the ocean worldwide. Bleaching induced by the loss of the symbiotic relationship between algae and coral is mainly attributed to climate change. Marine protected areas (MPAs) can effectively prevent local disturbances but are less likely to conserve the coral reefs from global events like climate change. Other conservation and restoration methods can be useful to protect and replenish the coral population temporarily, but whether they are feasible as sustainable conservation strategies is still equivocal. Coral reef mass mortality is not an exceptional occurrence but is linked to various instances of ecological loss, serving as an S.O.S. signal of severe prolonged climate extremes.

Teaching culture in a competitive market: The introduction of VCE Chinese Language, Culture, and Society
Authors: Benney Jonathan , Chan Philip Wing Keung , Gindidis Maria
Published: October 2023

In 2012 the White Paper Australia in the Asian Century urged governments across Australia to improve access to Asian studies in schools. Despite this, schools still struggle to maintain interest and success for secondary students, particularly those without an Asian family background.In response to the low numbers of non-Chinese-background students graduating from secondary schools with proficiency in Chinese language, the Victorian government launched a new Chinese Language, Culture, and Society subject in 2017. This study focuses on the teaching of this subject, which is taken in the last two years of secondary schooling during the pre-tertiary Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). Drawing upon interview data with administrators, teachers and students during the first years of its implementation, the article presents the views and challenges of stakeholders involved in this subject and argues that the inherent limitations of the VCE system will make it difficult for the new subject to achieve its stated aims.
Too good to be true: Comparing lying habits as reported by credible vs non-credible responders
Authors: Henriquez Natacha , Boskovic Irena , Kok Rianne , Van der Hallen Ruth
Published: October 2023

Researchers typically rely on self-report when inquiring about individuals’ behavior. Yet, when measuring socially unacceptable behavior such as dishonesty, self-report is prone to bias, especially underreporting (i.e., “positive response bias” or “faking good”). This study aimed to examine the impact of supernormality, an extreme form of positive response bias, on self-reported lying behavior. A total of 777 participants completed an online survey, which included assessments of lying behavior and supernormality. Based on their supernormality scores, participants were categorized into a "supernormal group" (n = 223, 28.7%) and a "credible group" (n = 554, 71.3%). Our results revealed that the supernormal group reported a significantly lower lying frequency, higher unwillingness to lie due to negative internal factors such as experiencing guilt (i.e., negativity), being less influenced by external factors in their decisions to lie (i.e., lower contextuality), lower relational lying, and lower antisocial lying, compared to the credible group. These group differences in lying behavior are interpreted as a manifestation of the supernormal group’s heighted motivation to “fake good” and as underreporting of their lying behavior. Furthermore, when controlling for supernormality levels, subtle gender differences in lying behavior were revealed, with women reporting lower proficiency in lying, being less influenced by contextual factors in their decisions to lie and engaging in less antisocial lying than men. Overall, our results highlight the unreliability of self-report when investigating sensitive topics, such as lying, and the importance of screening for response bias (i.e., underreporting).

Sign-tracking to non-drug reward is related to severity of alcohol-use problems in a sample of individuals seeking treatment
Authors: Watson Poppy , Prior Katrina , Ridley Nicole , Monds Lauren Ann , Manning Victoria , Wiers Reinout , Le Pelley Mike
Published: October 2023

BackgroundOne of the most prominent theories of drug addiction is the incentive sensitization model. Individual differences in the tendency to ascribe motivational salience to cues that predict reward, and their ability to promote reward-seeking behaviour have been identified as potentially important in understanding vulnerability to addiction and relapse. However, to date this behaviour has not been assessed in a treatment-seeking clinical population, highlighting a significant gap in the literature pertaining to incentive sensitization and drug addiction.MethodsIndividuals accessing drug and alcohol services with alcohol as primary drug of concern were recruited to participate in an intervention study. At the baseline session, participants completed various self-report measures (including the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test; AUDIT) in addition to a visual search task measuring sign-tracking to cues predicting monetary reward. Self-reported abstinence at 3-month follow up was primary outcome measure. All analyses and hypotheses were pre-registered.ResultsAt baseline (49 participants), AUDIT scores correlated with sign-tracking to signals of monetary reward, a relationship that cannot be explained by overall response time in the task or demographic variables. Sign-tracking, gender and craving during the sessions predicted return to use at 3-month follow up (41 participants). ConclusionsOur work demonstrates that involuntary sign-tracking to cues signalling non-drug reward is associated with problematic alcohol use and return to use at 3-month FU, in a treatment-seeking sample. Whether this automatic prioritisation of cues signalling reward is a consequence or vulnerability for problematic drug use remains to be seen.
Insights From a Generation: A Qualitative Study of the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Young Adults’ Mental Health and Beyond
Authors: Wiedemann Anna , Jones Peter B. , Burn Anne-Marie
Published: October 2023

Purpose: Initial discussions about the COVID-19 pandemic often overlooked its impact on young adults. Our research aimed to explore how this group experienced the pandemic, and specifically how it affected their mental health, relationships, and careers. Methods: Data collection involved the use of in-depth semi-structured interviews. Using a pre-determined sampling frame, we purposively recruited 30 participants based on age, gender, ethnicity, and deprivation from the Neuroscience in Psychiatry Network (NSPN). The NSPN cohort, established in 2012, consists of 2403 young people aged 14 to 24 at baseline, recruited from Greater London and Cambridgeshire. Interviews were conducted in Autumn 2022; data were analysed using the framework method. Results: Participants were on average 28 years old (SD = 3 years, range 24-34 years; 53.3% female). The sample comprised individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds, with 40% from non-White ethnic groups. Participants’ perceptions regarding their mental health during the pandemic were organised across five domains including general impact, impact on social networks and dynamics, coping strategies, adaptation and personal growth, and work and education. Conclusion: Young adults reported experiencing profound personal growth during the COVID-19 pandemic, re-evaluating their mental health and career priorities. However, the pandemic also caused substantial disruptions, with many returning to their parents’ homes, facing career challenges, and lacking mental health support. Policy changes are needed to address these issues in the post-pandemic landscape.
Instrumental Causal Learning
Authors: Teo Dennis W. H. , Ong Desmond C.
Published: October 2023

Causal learning has traditionally been regarded as a process of forming epistemically accurate causal beliefs that represent the world. Yet, considering that a primary function of causal learning is to further people’s practical goals by increasing their control over their surroundings, perhaps people also evaluate the instrumental value of causal beliefs when forming them—that is, what are the causal beliefs that are most effective at realizing some outcome. We formalized these two processes of learning (epistemic vs instrumental) using a Bayesian generative framework and compared their respective model predictions to human causal inferences across four separate studies. In Studies 1-3, we showed that an instrumental learning account (compared to an epistemic learning account) provides a better explanation for people’s causal inferences, which also exhibited the conjunction bias, a well-established learning phenomenon. An instrumental account explains that people favor conjunctive causal explanations because acting according to these explanations maximizes the chance of attaining the desired outcome. In Study 4, we compared the instrumental account and epistemic accounts to an alternative variant that incorporated the intentionality of observed agents. Again, we showed that the instrumental account better fit human inferences, and the results could not be explained by intentionality. We discuss how these findings change current conceptualizations of causal learning, and relate to real-world examples like superstition and functional thinking.
Quality Over Quantity: Focusing on High-Conflict Trials to Improve the Reliability and Validity of Attentional Control Measures
Authors: Moretti Luca , Koch Iring , Hornjak Raphael , von Bastian Claudia Christina
Published: October 2023

In conflict tasks, congruency effects are thought to reflect attentional control mechanisms needed to counteract response conflict elicited by incongruent stimuli. Although congruency effects are well-replicable experimentally, recent studies have evidenced low correlations between congruency effects measured across different paradigms, leading to a heated debate over whether these low correlations indicate a lack of construct validity or are rather attributable to high measurement error, as indicated by the poor reliability typically displayed by congruency effects. In the present study, we investigated whether the poor reliabilities of congruency effects are due to their poor theoretical specification. Specifically, we tested whether the psychometric properties of congruency effects can be improved by focusing exclusively on those trials in which response conflict is theoretically expected to be highest. We considered two factors modulating the degree of response conflict: previous trial congruency, with higher conflict following congruent trials, and the time elapsed since stimulus onset, with higher conflict in fast responses. Data from 195 participants completing a Simon and a spatial Stroop paradigm showed that generally poor split-half reliabilities for the full set of trials improved greatly when excluding post-incongruent and slow trials. Importantly, between-task correlations also increased substantially when controlling for these factors, suggesting that, with increased reliability, these tasks capture a common attentional control ability. Our results suggest that individual differences in conflict tasks can provide valid and reliable measures of attentional control when focusing on the trials with the theoretically highest response conflict.
The promise and pitfalls of a strength-based approach to child poverty and neurocognitive development: Implications for policy
Authors: DeJoseph Meriah Lee , Ellwood-Lowe Monica E , Silverman David , Shannon Kat Adams , Reyes Gabriel , Rakesh Divyangana , Frankenhuis Willem
Published: October 2023

There has been significant progress in understanding the effects of childhood poverty on neurocognitive development. This progress has captured the attention of policymakers and promoted progressive policy reform. However, the prevailing emphasis on the harms associated with childhood poverty may have inadvertently perpetuated a deficit-based narrative, focused on the presumed shortcomings of children and families in poverty. This focus can have unintended consequences for policy (e.g., overlooking strengths) as well as public discourse (e.g., focusing on individual rather than systemic factors). Here, we join scientists across disciplines in arguing for a more well-rounded, “strength-based” approach, which incorporates the positive and/or adaptive developmental responses to experiences of social disadvantage. Specifically, we first show the value of this approach in understanding normative brain development across diverse human environments. We then highlight its application to educational and social policy, explore pitfalls and ethical considerations, and offer practical solutions to conducting strength-based research responsibly. Our paper re-ignites old and recent calls for a strength-based paradigm shift, with a focus on its application to developmental cognitive neuroscience. We also offer a unique perspective from a new generation of early-career researchers engaged in this work, several of whom themselves have grown up in conditions of poverty. Ultimately, we argue that a balanced strength-based scientific approach will be essential to building more effective policies.

Transparency in the reporting of empirical studies is foundational to a credible knowledge base. Higher levels of transparency, in addition to clarity in writing, also make research more accessible to a diverse readership. Previous research reviewed how transparently reported qualitative, interview-based, studies were in contemporary technology education research (Buckley, Adams, et al., 2021). The results illustrated that no article was fully transparent and that authors tended to be less transparent in some areas, such as the management of power imbalances and a saturation point, than in others, such as the methodology adopted and research setting. This article presents a similar study, however the focus of the investigation was on contemporary quantitative technology education research. An analysis of 46 articles revealed again that no article was fully transparent and that authors tended to be more transparent in some areas than others. Interestingly, the areas where authors or quantitative research tended to be more or less transparent were similar to the areas in which authors of qualitative research tended to be more or less transparent. These results have use in supporting researchers in the clear and transparent reporting of the empirical work and could be useful in the development of guides or support material for academic writing.
A vernacular for living systems: alternative framings for the future of food
Authors: Loring Philip A.
Published: October 2023

Industrialized nations face the imminent need to transform our food systems in service to climate, biodiversity, and humanity, and inroads to such transformation are arguably already being made in pockets of innovation and activism around the world. However, debates rage over the various technologies and values that ought to drive those transformations. In this essay I argue that we are in the midst of a paradigm shift in how we think about and design our food systems, away from the industrial paradigm and toward an approach informed by the nature and function of living systems. As a part of that ongoing change, I argue we need to develop a new set of language to replace the familiar industrial values and concepts that underpin how we think about solutions—including scalability, standardization, efficiency, and control. I offer suggestions for alternative concepts drawn from emerging work in the areas if regenerative design, Indigenous stewardship, and complex systems, concepts that can reframe how proponents of food system transformation design and evaluate new ideas and approaches that are more healthful, sustainable, and just.
Do We All Long for the Past? Investigating Nostalgia as a Persuasive Political Rhetorical Strategy
Authors: van der Velden Mariken Anna Catharina Geertruida , Ortega Alberto Lopez , Roth Denise J. , Guldemond Puck Charlotte
Published: October 2023

This paper delves into the persuasive role of nostalgia in political rhetoric, questioning when and for whom it exerts influence. While right-wing populists have embraced nostalgia, this study argues that nostalgia is a versatile tool across ideological lines. The study uses a multidimensional approach, including reluctant, progressive, and playful nostalgia, to measure nostalgia's impact. It assesses nostalgia's persuasive ability by separating it from scapegoating in political discourse. Findings reveal an overlap between reluctant nostalgia and populist attitudes, broadening the conceptualization of nostalgia in political research. This paper highlights the need for a comprehensive understanding of nostalgia's role in shaping political campaigns.
What’s the Most Defense Friendly Jurisdiction in America? The Military.
Authors: Monea Nino C.
Published: October 2023

The military treats criminal defendants better than any other jurisdiction in the country. Some of these protections are straightforward improvements over civilian systems, some are inadvertent benefits for the defense. This article catalogs the benefits. They come in three main classes spread throughout the process. First, there are more substantive and logistical roadblocks for the prosecution to surmount to achieve and sustain a conviction, whether misdemeanor or felony, trial or appeal. Second, defendants are treated better on a personal level, which means more dignity in the courtroom and having their worldly needs taken care of during the entire process. And third, defense attorneys are treated better. Military defenders are paid more, have fewer cases, and have fewer obligations than their typical civilian counterparts. This article concludes by arguing the military system should incorporate aspects of the civilian justice system, but also celebrate its superior elements.
When Truth Trumps Facts: Studies on Partisan Moral Flexibility in American Politics
Authors: Kim Minjae , Hahl Oliver , Poskanzer Ethan , Zuckerman Sivan Ezra W.
Published: October 2023

This paper presents results from a series of online surveys—conducted among American voters during and after the (President Donald) Trump administration—that show how voters (both Republican and Democratic) provide explicit moral justification for politicians’ statements that flagrantly violate the norm of fact-grounding. Such justification is inconsistent with prevailing theory, whereby partisan voters’ tendency (due either to laziness or bias) to mistake misinformation for fact is the only factor responsible for their positive response to misinformation purveyed by partisan standard bearers. The studies presented in this paper provide consistent evidence of such factual flexibility. Yet they also provide consistent evidence of moral flexibility, whereby voters justify demagogic fact-flouting as an effective way of proclaiming a deeply resonant political “truth.” A key implication is that political misinformation cannot be fully eliminated by getting voters to distinguish fact from fiction; voters’ moral orientations may be such that they prefer fact-flouting. More general lessons pertain to the role of democratic norms in liberal democracies and to how moral orientations relate to perceived interests.
Reforming Military Juries in the Wake of Ramos v. Louisiana
Authors: Monea Nino C.
Published: October 2023

Juries in the military are smaller than civilian practice and may convict by less than unanimous verdicts. Although empirical research has shown larger, unanimous juries perform better by virtually every measure, military courts have not adopted them. They claim that it is inapplicable because the research was conducted on civilians. This Article explains the science supporting large, unanimous juries, courts’ resistance to the science, and addresses the objections courts have raised to jury reforms. It concludes that there is no worthwhile reason to maintain the status quo for military juries.
Legal Benefits of Homeownership
Authors: Monea Nino C.
Published: October 2023

The law prizes expensive, single-family homes above all other forms of housing. This Article details the many ways that the law benefits homeowners and distains renters, mobile-home owners, and the homeless. There are seven topics: (1) zoning laws mandate single-family homes and ban localities from requiring affordable housing, (2) the Tax Code allows homeowners to write off innumerable expenses but virtually nothing for renters, (3) lenders seeking to foreclose on a mortgage must surmount many hurdles, but landlords may act with nearly a free hand to evict, (4) federal, state, and local institutions all work to support the housing market and give homeowners disproportionate power and opportunities, (5) courts extend far more privacy to homes, especially large ones, and give homeowners more authority to defend their properties, (6) owners of manufactured housing, also known as mobile homes, have few protections against abusive landlords, and (7) the homeless are actively targeted by the law and punished for merely existing. Overall, the wealthier the homeowner, the more benefits the law grants them.

In October 2021, the Graduate Student Issues Committee at NCME called their graduate students to create a study group about the current edition of The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (Standards). During this study group, we studied eachchapter of the Standards and consulted with different Experts about its content and potential for improvement. After a year of work in this group, we continued writing a statement representing graduate students and young professionals from NCME about our view on the new edition of the Standards. This document presents our views about most of the foundational chapters in the document. We wrote this statement using a democratic process, voting on each of its sections among its contributors, and ratified by the group of graduate students with a 90% percentage of approval (N = 19). In our recommendation, we denounce a reputational debt left by the older generations in our field, the need for a clear anti-racist, decolonizing, and culturally responsive stance in the new edition of the Standards, and a need for a better writing process that can react faster to a changing environment. We also recommend making full use of digital formats now available for consensus documents like the Standards.
No matter how you slice it: The persistence and pervasiveness of disproportionate punishment for Black students
Authors: Darling-Hammond Sean , Ho Eric
Published: October 2023

Scholastic punishment is harmful. A governmental review of 2013-14 data indicated that Black students were overrepresented among those experiencing punishment in a variety of contexts. In the intervening decade, new data has emerged, schools have implemented policies to reduce racial disparities, researchers have highlighted new methods of measuring disparities, and pundits have reignited debates about the degree and pervasiveness of disparities. Clarity is needed. Are Black students experiencing more exclusion and punishment than their peers? If so, of what kinds and in what contexts? This article responds by reviewing the most recent federal data, measuring Black overrepresentation across six types of punishment, three comparison groups, sixteen subpopulations, and seven types of measurement. We generate 1,581 unique estimates of Black overrepresentation and find evidence that no matter how you slice it, Black students are overrepresented among those punished. We conclude with policy recommendations to reduce widespread and enduring racial disparities.

The research explores how the manner in which movies are translated, whether through free or literal methods, influences their received ratings. We leverage the power of large language models to uncover nuanced patterns in translation styles and their corresponding impact on audience assessments. By scrutinizing a diverse dataset of translated movies, we aim to elucidate whether particular translation strategies are associated with higher or lower ratings. Our findings suggest that GPT-4 is capable of distinguishing between literal and free translations with a high accuracy of 0.8. Through statistical tests, we observed that literal translations lead to significantly higher rating scores than free translations in English-to-Chinese movie title translations. However, when examining different Chinese-speaking movie markets, only mainland China exhibits this difference, with no discernible variation in rating scores in Hong Kong and Singapore. Our findings offer valuable insights into the dynamics of translation styles and their resonance with audience preferences. This sheds light on the intricate relationship between linguistic adaptation and viewer satisfaction in the cinematic realm. Future studies are encouraged to expand our research to include more translation pairs
Assessing the duration of Putin's war with Ukraine
Authors: Fokkink Robbert , Lindelauf Roy
Published: October 2023

The war in Ukraine has continued for more than a year without an end in sight. Estimating the duration of such a conflict that is a combination of attrition and manoeuvre is difficult. In a general sense both sides are drawing resources from their respective pools of manpower, (artillery) ammunition and other supplies to slowly wear down their opponent. It is likely that the war will end once one of both parties runs out of their resources. We use mathematical models and open source date to estimate when the war will end and how, within given bounds of uncertainty.
State Constitutional Rights to Bear Arms Ten Years After Heller/McDonald
Authors: Monea Nino C.
Published: October 2023

In 2008 and 2010, the United States Supreme Court gave the Second Amendment real teeth and applied it to the states. Before, litigants had to rely on state constitutional provisions protecting the right to bear arms. This Article examines roughly 800 state cases citing a state constitutional right to bear arms to see what effect, if any, the Supreme Court precedent had in the states. After framing issues of state constitutionalism, this Article finds that state courts largely refused to use state constitutions to strike down gun laws, both before and after the Supreme Court got involved. Though state courts did make some cosmetic changes to how they address gun rights, they continued to honor precedent upholding gun safety legislation.
Eviction Moratorium Litigation: What Courts Said, and What Courts Missed
Authors: Monea Nino C.
Published: October 2023

In 2020, federal, state, and local governments imposed eviction moratoriums to prevent mass homelessness and limit the spread of COVID-19. Landlords responded to this unprecedented action by filing lawsuits around the country. This Article analyzes the litigation. It examines the claims of landlords, defenses raised by the government, and how courts dealt with each of them. It also highlights the ways that courts misunderstand the rental market and devalue tenants. The Article shows that, before the Supreme Court intervened in mid-2021, most landlord suits failed, either because courts rejected their claims or governments ran out the clock, demonstrating that mass eviction moratoriums can protect the most vulnerable in times of crisis.
TOURISM DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY IN SKIKDA: BETWEEN RHETORIC AND PRACTICE
Authors: Ahmed Soufiane SID
Published: October 2023

Presently, tourism is recognized as a crucial driver for generating added value and a viable option for global economic revitalization and development, particularly in developing nations. Our selection of this topic emerged from an examination of the tourism sector in Algeria, with a specific focus on the Skikda Department. This examination revealed certain deficiencies associated with this destination. Consequently, we contend that the tourism sector in Algeria confronts a myriad of challenges and threats, resulting in a continual decline in its share of the global tourism market in recent times.

One of the main causes of the climate change is accumulation of huge amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere emitted from the combusting of organic fuels (coal, oil products and natural gas), consequently, to slow down the  progress of the global warming is directly related to the limitation of CO2 emission which could be achieved through the rational use of fuel and energy in every sector (industrial, household, transport and building sectors), introduction of energy-saving measures including highly efficient technologies and innovative methods. The building sector accounts for about 40% of the energy saving potential, therefore reduction of energy losses is the best way to reduce energy consumption of buildings. To calculate the heat loss from the building envelope, it is necessary to know the thermal conductivity coefficient (λ) of each construction element. Currently developed methods of λ determination are entirely based on the laboratory test using the stationary regime. For more realistic results, it is necessary to take into account the daily variability of temperature and non-stationary thermal conductivity processes. Solving the non-stationary thermal conductivity tasks are associated with the significant difficulties due to the application of the relatively complex mathematical equations. Usually, the theory of non-stationary thermal conductivity refers to the method of separation of variables or the so-called Laplace Transform, which requires the use of operational counting methods. The article presents an innovative method for determining the coefficient of thermal conductivity (λ) of each construction element in the non-stationary temperature regime, which enables determination of heat losses from the building envelope in real environment using the precise definition of thermal flow velocity.
MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY CRITERIA FOR ІNDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES

Published: October 2023

The article deals with an important problem of management - determination of criteria for the efficiency of management of industrial enterprises and evaluation of the effectiveness of this activity. After studying various approaches to the concept of "enterprise management efficiency", the expanded interpretation of this category as a set of criteria and methods of their evaluation, which in general have a clear date of a comprehensive research study of the concept, was substantiated. The article proposed such criteria for the efficiency of industrial enterprise management as financial, production, resource, marketing, innovation, risk and social.

Since different indicators have different effects and significance on the efficiency of an industrial enterprise, to evaluate the integral indicator of the efficiency of industrial enterprise management, the expert survey method was used. The creation of an integral indicator of management efficiency makes it possible, firstly, to quickly analyze and compare enterprises of the industry in terms of management efficiency. Secondly, the use of a single coefficient is a good basis for internal monitoring of the dynamics of enterprise management efficiency.

The integral indicator can take values from 0 to 1. The closer this value is to one, the better is the management efficiency of the industrial enterprise. The proposed integral indicator of the efficiency of industrial enterprise management makes it possible to determine the state of the enterprise, monitor the dynamics of development, and also creates ample opportunities for benchmarking, as it allows you to correctly compare different enterprises of the industry.
