Generation of synthetic Point Clouds for MEMS LiDAR Sensor
Authors: Berens Felix , Reischl Markus , Elser Stefan
Published: April 2022

Sensory data is essential for the training of methods in autonomous driving like object detection, odometry, or SLAM. MEMS LiDAR sensors can be very valuable for autonomous vehicles because they are less prone to shock and wear compared to motorized optomechanical LiDAR sensors. Recording real-world data is complicated and expensive. An alternative is simulated data, but for MEMS LiDAR sensors there is no publicly available software to simulate this type of sensor. With this paper, we introduce a method to simulate data recorded by a MEMS LiDAR sensor like the Blickfeld Cube~1 (and other MEMS LiDAR sensors as well). For this, we use the open-source autonomous driving simulation environment CARLA (our method is available online\footnote[1]{https://github.com/BerensRWU/MEMS-LiDAR-Generator}). We compare our synthetic point cloud with a real-world point cloud and evaluate the similarity. Moreover, we demonstrate the application of our method on the problem of the optimal sensor configuration.

The aim of the study was to study the clinical and therapeutic aspects of injuries secondary to trauma to the external genitalia. This was a prospective and descriptive study of 18 patients with trauma to the external genitalia admitted and operated on at the urology department of the Fousseyni DAOU hospital in Kayes from June 2015 to November 2020. The average age of the patients was 17 years with extremes of 10 and 62 years. 3 clinical forms have been studied (coital missteps, accidental trauma to the penis and trauma to the purses). Coital missteps affected 38.8% of patients (7 cases). The average age of the patients was 48 years with extremes of 29 years and 62 years. These were consensual, heterosexual relationships. The main reason for consultation was Cracking accompanied by pain and swelling of the penis. We had collected 9 cases of open bursa trauma, i.e. 50% of patients. The average age of the patients was 18 years with extremes of 10 and 28 years. The reasons for consultation were pain, open wound in the scrotum, bleeding. Associated lesions were urethral rupture in 3 cases, rupture of the vas deferens in 1 case, leg fracture in 1 case and loss of skin substance. Penile trauma after road accident was 2 cases (11.11%). They most often occur in the context of war or psychiatric illness. Repair of trauma to the external genitalia accounted for 0.63% of our surgical activities.

Follicular thyroid carcinomas have a greater propensity for distal metastasis than papillary and anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. Metastases are most observed in the lungs, followed by the bones. The most common skeletal sites of metastases are the humerus, pelvis, radius, and scapula. In this article, we present an unusual case of a 66-year-old, presented with papillary carcinoma thyroid with clavicle metastasis. Bone metastases have the potential to severely impact the quality of life by causing pain, fractures and spinal cord compression. Due to the lack of cases of patients with distant metastasis reported in the literature, there are still no definitive guidelines to treat these patients. We suggest and encourage the collection of more data on such patients in order to understand the natural history of the disease process and, consequently, in order to be able to formulate guidelines aiming to help clinicians make the right choice when treating patients with distant thyroid metastasis.

Abstract: Preconception and pregnancy care is important for better pregnancy outcome. Awareness of both male and female is necessary for reducing maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in developing country like Nepal. The objective was to find out level of awareness on preconception and pregnancy care among bachelor level students of Dharan. Descriptive design was used for the study. Purposive sampling method was used to select 50 students from each college. Four colleges were selected through simple random sampling from 16 colleges and a total of 200 students who were studying bachelor final year were selected for study. Data were collected by self-administered Semi structured questionnaires. The result shows that 24.5% of total respondents heard about folic acid. Among them 7% were male respondents and 17.5% were female respondents. Majority (89%) of respondents accepts that male’s awareness is important for better pregnancy outcome. Female (mean awareness=55.2) were more aware than male (mean awareness=52.61) respondents on preconception and pregnancy care. Female were more aware on both preconception and pregnancy care. The source of information (media, newspaper) is associated with level of awareness. (p=0.010). Awareness level is related to employment status with higher proportion of employed individuals showing average awareness level (p=0.014). An equal to half (50.5%) of respondents have average awareness level on preconception and pregnancy care. The study concludes female (17.5%) have more good awareness level than male (7%) respondents.

Published: April 2022

Objective: In this study, preoperative subjective sleep quality (SP) and the factors which affect the SP were investigated in patients who underwent myomectomy and hysterectomy.
Material and Methods: A total of 172 patients were included in the present study; 67 patients undergoing myomectomy and 105 undergoing hysterectomies were evaluated. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used preoperatively to evaluate subjective sleep quality, anxiety, and depression, respectively. The patients were classified into two groups according to sleep quality score: good quality (PSQI ≤ 5) and poor quality (PSQI > 5).
Results: Overall, 56.4% of patients reported poor sleep quality with a PSQI score > 5. The total PSQI score, BAI score, subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep disturbances, and the use of sleeping medication of the patients undergoing hysterectomy were significantly higher than those undergoing myomectomy (p < 0.05). Age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.082; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.012–1.157; p = 0.021), operation type (OR = 1.071; 95% CI, 1.015–1.149; p = 0.035), and BAI score (OR = 1.097; 95% CI, 1.073–1.294; p = 0.001) were significantly associated with poor sleep quality. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, the BAI score, and the type of surgery were significantly associated with poor sleep quality.
Conclusion: The preoperative sleep quality of patients was significantly associated with the surgical procedure, patient age, and patient anxiety. Preoperative sleep quality of patients who underwent hysterectomy was worse than those who underwent myomectomy.
Analysis on Cryptographic Framework for IoE: Challenges and Issues
Authors: Baraneetharan E.
Published: April 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been supplanted by the Internet of Everything (IoE) since lately. Cities, states/provinces, and the federal government all face the same problem of how to fulfill rising public expectations while dealing with shrinking or static resources. A growing chasm exists between public expectations and what governments are able to offer as a result of this problem. In addition, a wide range of additional concerns must be dealt with, at the federal, city/state/local, healthcare, military, and education levels as well. Since the advent of the Internet, nothing has been held as much promising for public sector executives as the Internet of Everything, which has the ability to bridge the gap between citizens' expectations and what governments actually provide. The public sector has a unique chance to improve the quality of life for their citizens via the IoT. Type approval and cyber security methods, on the other hand, are critical for this new paradigm. Many traditional encryption algorithms fail in security and privacy in IoE which is not feasible for devices due to unawareness of the updated Trojan horse etc. The analysis of security and privacy issues for IoE domain is focused at various places such as home, city, government health center and more. In addition, it is at odds with the explanations offered by numerous IoE studies.
Rateworkspace: BIM integrated post-occupancy evaluation system for office buildings

Published: April 2022

The feedback obtained from occupants regarding their comfort needs and performance of buildings is critical for assessing occupant satisfaction, identifying the operation and maintenance (O&M) issues in time and for improving resource efficiency in buildings. Current facility management (FM) systems and occupant feedback collection practices, however, have limitations in supporting effective decision-making in FM, as they lack the necessary contextual data related to the occupant feedback (e.g., building geometry, systems, elements). Building Information Modeling (BIM)-enabled FM systems are used for combining different types of FM information with building models; however, occupant feedback is still not effectively utilized in FM since it is not integrated with BIM. In this study, a BIM integrated post-occupancy evaluation system prototype is developed for: (1) collecting occupant feedback along with the contextual information related to the feedback items in a structured way, and (2) presenting this information as integrated with BIM to the facility managers. This enables conducting spatio-temporal queries and supports effective decision-making by visualizing the collected feedback. The prototype was designed by using qualitative shadowing with FM teams to identify information needs and use case analysis to determine how contextual data integrated with BIM could be collected from office occupants who are non-technical persons with limited information on building models. This paper identifies the FM query categories that are required to process the occupant feedback and describes the RateWorkSpace prototype developed for office buildings. The deployment of the prototype in a real-world office demonstrates that the proposed system is applicable, practical, usable, and that real-time building performance data can be both collected and analysed with the developed system. This has the potential to increase the effectiveness of the FM and O&M processes, and help to create office spaces with optimized energy use and occupant comfort that also supports occupant well-being and productivity.

Published: April 2022

En el presente trabajo se explica de forma general el concepto de plasmones de superficie y sus aplicaciones. Además, se muestra que la geometría Kretschmann que consta de vidrio-metal-vacío es una de las usualmente utilizadas para excitar el campo electromagnético bajo el plasmón.  Debido a que, de forma natural en una superficie plana no es posible generar este efecto, con excepción de algunos casos particulares de la fuente incidente o combinación de haces. También, se cuantifica la intensidad o amplificación del campo en función de la posición y se observa una propiedad importante de amplificación bajo la condición del plasmón, en la cual decae la intensidad del campo exponencialmente al alejarse de la interfaz metal-vacío. Igualmente se hace mención de las áreas de investigación relacionadas con los plasmones de superficie.

Insbesondere in Städten werden Gesundheitsungleichheiten individuell verkörpert. Gleichzeitig werden sie in Recht-auf-Stadt-Kämpfen kollektiv adressiert. Dennoch bleibt das Verhältnis zwischen Gesundheit und Ungleichheit in der Kritischen Stadtgeographie unterrepräsentiert. Wie genau werden Machtverhältnisse in Form von Gesundheit und Krankheit konkret und ortsspezifisch ungleich verkörpert und mit welcher Raumwirksamkeit? Mithilfe eines relationalen Gesundheitsverständnisses fragen wir, wie Machtverhältnisse – vermittelt über Gesellschaftsstrukturen und (politisch konstruierte) Umwelten – krank machen. Urbane Gesundheitsinitiativen verfolgen vielfältige räumliche Strategien zur Sichtbarmachung und Bearbeitung krank machender Verhältnisse. Mithilfe des Konzepts Worlding tragen wir das verstreut vorliegende Wissen dieser Initiativen bezogen auf Stadtteilgesundheit, Frauen- und migrantische Gesundheit zum Einfluss bioökosozialer Verhältnisse auf Gesundheit zusammen. Wir diskutieren die Raumrelevanz für die Hervorbringung von Krankheit und die kollektive Repolitisierung von Gesundheit auf Stadtteilebene. Damit tragen wir zu einer Kritischen Stadtgeographie verkörperter Ungleichheiten bei, die zeigt, wie Machtverhältnisse sich in Form von Krankheit und Gesundheit in Körper einschreiben.
The Transnational Impact of Pop Culture on Tourist Destination
Authors: Vasadze Manana Vasadze Manana , Bortsvadze  Nino Bortsvadze  Nino
Published: April 2022

Different genres of popular culture, such as music, video, movies, TV series and digital games, influence the transnational flows of world tourism (Griffin, M.,2002). Unlike "high" culture, popular culture is seen as the everyday culture of mass attraction (Gans, H.J.,1999). Popular culture involves a wider community that shares its values and meanings. The impact of popular culture is so great that it can affect people’s thinking, speech, fashion, and perspective (Shirley & Biagi, 1996). Thanks to global media networks, communication systems and digital information technologies, popular culture can reach a wide audience. This, in turn, will lead to a new phenomenon in the tourism industry, which can be called Popular Culture Tourism (Junghun L, 2006.). The paper discusses the impact of popular culture on tourist behavior.

Digital Agritourism as a Hub of Multifaceted Economic Development
Authors: Tamta Mamulaidze Tamta Mamulaidze , Otar Bagaturia Otar Bagaturia
Published: April 2022

Rural tourism is considered by UNWTO (united Nation’s World Tourism Organization) as a high-potential direction, the stimulation of which is considered as a factor of economic stability for small and medium businesses (SMEs).
The Covid-19 pandemic causes unprecedented damage to tourism sector. The Authorities in many countries responded immediately to the crisis. UN Women organization, together with the Georgian Farmers' Association, submitted a working / draft version bill on supporting measures for agritourism to the Parliamentary Agrarian Committee (still without respond).
Moreover, in the article there are considered the perspectives of the abovementioned law, also the prospective of agritourism or rural tourism, and potential of digitalization in indicated sphere.
The development of agritourism as an independent direction of tourism will be a kind of multiplier for the economy of both the region and the country.
Novelty of suggested research is that digitalization can connect traditional agriculture and modern trends of tourism. With the digitalization and mutual cooperation of the agricultural sector and agritourism, it is possible to offer a completely exclusive product to the international consumer, to create a new industry and to attract additional financial resources from outside the country, for the recovery of the country's economy, and in this meaning agritourism can be interpretated as a kind of export, and this is also novelty of this research. In this regard, agritourism can be considered as one of the alternative ways to promote the multifunctional and sustainable development of the communities and regions of Georgia and whole country as well.

Two years after the COVID-19 pandemic, many uncertainties persist about the causal agent, the disease and its future. This document contains the reflection of the COVID-19 working group of the Official College of Physicians of Madrid (ICOMEM) in relation to some questions that remain unresolved. The document includes considerations on the origin of the virus, the current indication for diagnostic tests, the value of severity scores in the onset of the disease and the added risk posed by hypertension or dementia. We also discuss the possibility of deducing viral behavior from the examination of the structure of the complete viral genome, the future of some drug associations and the current role of therapeutic resources such as corticosteroids or extracorporeal oxygenation (ECMO). We review the scarce existing information on the reality of COVID 19 in Africa, the uncertainties about the future of the pandemic and the status of vaccines, and the data and uncertainties about the long-term pulmonary sequelae of those who suffered severe pneumonia.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Covid-19 pandemisinde uzaktan eğitime katılan öğretmenlerin öz düzenlemeli öğrenme öz yeterliklerini; görev yaptıkları kademe, eğitim durumu, cinsiyet, branş, yaş ve hizmet süresi değişkenleri ile ilişkisini incelemektir. Araştırmada tarama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Covid-19 pandemisi kısıtlamaları göz önünde bulundurularak uygun örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Örneklem, Ankara’daki devlet okullarında eğitim veren 543 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Veriler, kişisel bilgi formu ve öğretmenler için öz düzenlemeli öğrenme öz yeterlik ölçeği kullanılarak 2020-2021 eğitim öğretim döneminde toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde parametrik testler kullanılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin çoğunluğunun sanal sınıfları, mesajlaşma uygulamalarını ve eğitim portallarını kullandıkları görülmektedir. Öğretmenlerin öz düzenlemeli öğrenme öz yeterliklerinin genel olarak yüksek olduğu görülmektedir. Lisede görev yapan öğretmenlerin öz düzenlemeli öğrenme öz yeterliklerinin diğer kademelerde görev yapanlara göre düşük olduğu bununla birlikte okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin diğer branşlarda görev yapan öğretmenlere göre öz düzenlemeli öğretmen öz yeterliklerinin yüksek olduğu söylenebilir. Öğretmenlerin görüşlerinde cinsiyetlerine göre zayıf düzeyde anlamlı farklılık vardır. Öğretmenlerin yaşları arttıkça öz düzenlemeli öğrenme öz yeterliklerinin düştüğü görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak; öğretmenlerin öz düzenlemeli öğrenme öz yeterliklerinin farkında olmaları; öğrencilerinin akademik düzeylerine uygun öz düzenlemeli öğrenme içerikleri ve yöntemlerini seçmeleri açısından önemlidir. Bu sayede öğrencilerin akademik performansı arttırılabilir.
On Bipartite Distance-Regular Cayley Graphs with Small Diameter
Authors: Van Dam Edwin R. , Jazaeri Mojtaba
Published: April 2022

We study bipartite distance-regular Cayley graphs with diameter three or four. We give sufficient conditions under which a bipartite Cayley graph can be constructed on the semidirect product of a group — the part of this bipartite Cayley graph which contains the identity element — and $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$. We apply this to the case of bipartite distance-regular Cayley graphs with diameter three, and consider cases where the sufficient conditions are not satisfied for some specific groups such as the dihedral group.We also extend a result by Miklavič and Potočnik that relates difference sets to bipartite distance-regular Cayley graphs with diameter three to the case of diameter four. This new case involves certain partial geometric difference sets and — in the antipodal case — relative difference sets.
Combinatorial Perspectives on the Crank and Mex Partition Statistics
Authors: Hopkins Brian , Sellers James , Yee Ae Ja
Published: April 2022

Several authors have recently considered the smallest positive part missing from an integer partition, known as the minimum excludant or mex.  In this work, we revisit and extend connections between Dyson's crank statistic, the mex, and Frobenius symbols, with a focus on combinatorial proof techniques.  One highlight is a generating function expression for the number of partitions with a bounded crank that does not include an alternating sum.  This leads to a combinatorial interpretation involving types of Durfee rectangles.  A recurring combinatorial technique uses sign reversing involutions on certain triples of partitions to establish a result of Fine and other identities.
LEGAL ASSESSMENT OF INSULTS AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE OFFENSE AND A CRIMINAL OFFENSE
Authors: Ishchenko D. P. , Basov A. V. , Ishchenko G. K.
Published: April 2022

The work is devoted to insulting the individual. Insult is a common offense. Historically, before decrimi-nalization in 2011, insult was a criminal offense. The current legislation divides these offenses by special compositions into criminally punishable crimes and by general ones into administrative offenses. In the course of the study, the difficulties of law enforcement practice in establishing the mandatory sign of an indecent form, the objective and subjective side of the offense, and the peculiarities of the victim’s personality are considered. The definition of an insult is fixed by law, while the criterion of an indecent form is not legally defined, which requires additional legal regulation.
DIRECTIONS FOR IMPROVING THE SUPERVISION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LAWS ON THE LICENSING SYSTEM IN THE REPUBLIC OF CRIMEA
Authors: Mogorychev А. М.
Published: April 2022

In this publication, the author identifies the problematic aspects and prospects for improving the supervision of the implementation of laws on the licensing system in the Republic of Crimea. It is revealed that the problems in the studied area are due to the fact that a large number of permits for certain types of activities were issued and issued in accordance with the legislative norms that were in force on the territory of the Republic of Crimea until March 18, 2014. When supervising the implementation of laws in the permissive sphere, the prosecutor often has to appoint documentary examinations, since at the time of the transition of the Republic of Crimea to the Russian Federation, the heads of organizations and institutions still have seals and forms at their disposal, which does not exclude cases of abuse and the production of forged documents.

The purpose of the article is to prove that jurisprudence in general and criminology in particular are a full-fledged part of economic scientific disciplines.
The scientific results obtained by the authors: 1) it is proved that jurisprudence, including criminology, are sectoral economic disciplines, and should be developed precisely in the vein of the corresponding economic disciplines of micro- and macroeconomic cycles; 2) it is proved that jurisprudence as a science has no time and space boundaries; 3) shows that in isolation from basic economic disciplines, in particular micro- and macroeconomics, jurisprudence cannot develop.
Scientific novelty: lies in the newly obtained scientific results.
The practical significance lies in the possibility of using the obtained scientific results in the development of legal scientific and academic disciplines.
ON THE STATE OF THE RAILWAYS OF THE UNION OF GERMAN RAILWAY ADMINISTRATIONS IN 1895-1897
Authors: Zmerzlyy B. V.
Published: April 2022

The development of the railways of the German Empire in the period under review (1895-1897) followed an evolutionary path, aimed not only at increasing freight traffic and the railway network itself, but also at improving the quality and reliability of the roads themselves, which was expressed in gradually improving the quality of the sleepers and rails used in their construction and repair, which were made of increasingly resistant and durable materials. This seemingly inconspicuous work allowed Germany to reduce the subsequent costs of repairing the railway network and maintain a high level and culture of transportation.
Interpretation of Surrealism among University Fine Art Students - Analysis of Selected Surrealist Work by Fourth Year Students at Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya
Authors: Wango Kamau
Published: April 2022

Surrealism, whether in drawing or painting, remains an engaging and fascinating Art style and continues to be of great influence in the way artists, including students of Art, perceive self-expression and generation of new meaning in their work. Surrealism is considered among the most influential artistic movements of the 20th Century. It started in the 1920s as a literary movement that eventually took on a visual dimension, its foundational principles have continued to influence the thought process and styles of many modern artists in the realm of self-expression. Though students at the University undertake drawing in the context of a number of units in their undergraduate programme, surrealism is introduced as a fourth-year unit since they are expected to have adequately mastered drawing and consolidated an expressive individual style over time. This study examines, through analysis of selected works, the extent to which students are able to, firstly, internalize the concept and visual tenets of surrealism such as distortion, abstraction, and juxtaposition of forms and apply these tenets in the composition of new artistic work of their own. Secondly, the study sought to determine whether their drawings demonstrated individual capacity for self-expression and the derivation of meaning that appealed to the audience. The students were introduced to surrealism through examination and discussion of examples of previous students’ surrealist work, analysis of the subject matter, the origination of ideas, and style of execution in pencil as a manipulative tool. The students were also introduced to rendering surrealist images from various sources into artistic compositions that are interpretable by the audience and, therefore, bear the ability to generate artistic meaning. This being a drawing unit and for the purpose of uniformity of medium, they were instructed to work in pencil on A3 drawing paper. They were expected to internalize each other’s work through class presentations and focused critiques. The students, subsequently, produced a large body of drawings that were sampled and selected in terms of artistic execution and/or display of a significant impetus for self-expression. They were ultimately expected to demonstrate the ability to interpret the meaning of imageries derived from the unconscious mind or whatever dreamlike sources they may have referenced. The work was analysed in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the analytical framework.
Eldership in Traditional Africa as a Core Definer of Ubuntu Ecclesiology in Configuration to Pauls’ Conception of Eldership Institution
Authors: Oduor Peter Lee Ochieng
Published: April 2022

The growth of Christianity in Africa comes with a strong demand on biblical African ecclesiology that is keen on strong and trusted leadership. There have been multiple of accusations labelled against the African church that centre around her quality of leadership. In the formulation of an Ubuntu ecclesiology, we are keen to have an ecclesiology that is most friendly to the African conceptual framework and one that can indeed be of use in the articulation of theology in Africa. This is in the spirit and letter of contextualization that is bent on an incarnational theology. This is only achievable through an understanding of the eldership framework from an African mindset and the biblical concept of eldership as is captured in the Old and New Testament. The benefits that African Ubuntu ecclesiology can obtain with regard to quality leadership from the concept of eldership in traditional Africa is well articulated to combat the leadership ineptitude that has characterized African ecclesia. Lastly the study at the conclusion has presented a theological reflection on eldership as a core definer of accuracy of leadership within Ubuntu ecclesiology by the observation of church leaders as representatives of the church in the model and pattern of Christ who is the character par excellence in the institution of eldership

The article considers event management as an integral part of information and communication technologies in public administration. Opportunities, prospects and additional benefits of organizing even-events, and little attention from the heads of public administration indicates the need for research to update the tools of event management. It is noted that the use of technologies offered by event management allows to optimize the cost of events, increase the credibility of public administration, increase public interest in the proposed events and loyalty to the authorities. It is determined that the use of event management logically reflects the content of the activities of public authorities in the information society. The combination of the communicative function and the function of providing services in terms of content is the purpose of a modern system of The main prerequisites for the introduction of event management concepts in government are the demassification of the population, the focus of the government on the consumer of administrative services as a full participant in government relations, increasing demand for a combination of entertainment and social elements, the need to activate the population to overcome political and social absenteeism.

Published: April 2022

Ukraine requires modern industry for stable, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, which is based on the development and implementation of innovative technologies in Industry 4.0. High-tech productions and services have significant innovative potential. In order to develop them, Ukraine should make its profit of the opportunities of integration into the European Research Area as a tool for adapting the standards and norms of the European Union in the field of education, science and innovation.
The work is aimed at substantiating scientific and methodological provisions for the formation of a relevant niche of Ukrainian-Polish scientific, educational and innovation space in the form of a pilot project to create an international high-tech cluster of Industry 4.0 with industrial enterprises and educational institutions.
The scientific and methodical provisions of the experiment on the formation of the relevant niche of the Ukrainian-Polish scientific-educational and innovation space in the form of a pilot project to create an international high-tech cluster are substantiated on the example of the Pridneprovsky economic region. It is noted that its key actor can be recognized as a research center – an institution that is focused on performing specific functions in order to scientifically and innovatively ensure the modernization of industry regardless of administrative and territorial boundaries. The effective functioning of science parks is necessary to combine education, science and industry. The establishment of a representative office of the main stakeholder educational institution of the Polish side on the territory of the science park in Ukraine and a representative office of the Ukrainian research center in the Polish science park should provide both parties with PR support in the territory of the participating countries, access to market research, expert advice, investors and programmers communication.
Methodology for Evaluating of Threats Influence on the Energy Security Level
Authors: Sukhodolia О.  , Riabtsev G.  , Kharazishvili Yu.
Published: April 2022

When an energy transition takes place, geopolitical confrontation over energy resources and technological leadership intensifies, models of energy market are changed, energy carriers are used as a weapon to achieve political goals in “hybrid” wars, the need increases to ensure the ability of authorities to neutralize threats to energy security or reduce the negative consequences of their impact.
To solve this problem, methodology for evaluating of threats influence on the energy security level was developed. The methodology based on a systems approach. Threat evaluation consists of three stages – identification, analysis and, in fact, evaluation. Threat identification consists of its detection, registration and description. The used formula is: the “factor of influence” due to the presence of “vulnerability” can lead to “negative consequences”. The analysis consists of establishing the vulnerability of the object, as well as possible consequences of the threat impact, taking into account actions of authorities, aimed at its neutralization. Threat evaluation consists of establishing the total risk for each identified threat by combining corresponding probabilities and cumulative negative consequences, which are due to the vulnerability of the object.
The developed methodology was used to evaluate the Ukraine energy security threats as of 1 September 2021. It was found that the weightiest of them are: degradation of energy systems and networks, lack of professionalism in the policy-making, government interference in the energy markets functioning (as internal threats); cyberattacks, washing out of professional personnel, military actions (as external threats).
A systematic assessment of energy security threats will allow the authorities to better understand the phenomena, trends and factors that may complicate or make it impossible the implementation of Ukraine’s national interests in the energy sector.

Utilization of slag is a time consuming process. It can be efficient in one case only: if 100% of produced slag is utilized. However, it concerns new waste. To utilize the old waste is much harder. For instance, in case of Mariupol city landfill slag there is so caked that it is very hard to get it away from the shore.
Landscape reclamation of post-industrial areas is a new global trend. The article considers the possibilities of landscaping slag heap.
Taking into account the condition of the slag pile and possibilities of landscaping, it is feasible to create a landscape park. To meet the up-to-date environmental requirements the landscape park should have renewable energy.
At the same time, the project of a landscape park creation is important for all therefore every resident of the city should be aware of it. Because the creation of the landscape park matters everybody the crowd-investing project with share capital is the most acceptable form of landscape park creation.

Authors: Petrova I.P.
Published: April 2022

The current state of development of public-private partnership is studied and the prospects of PPP development in the implementation of smart-specialization in Ukraine are substantiated. It is determined that the implementation of agreements on the basis of public-private partnership is in its infancy. Despite the improvement of the legislation on partnership between the state and business, the number of PPP projects has not increased. Information on public-private partnerships on the websites of regional state administrations is analyzed. It is revealed that PPP is gradually being integrated into the practice of strategizing socio-economic development of regions on the basis of smart-specialization. The regional development strategies for the use of public-private partnerships are analyzed and recommendations are given regarding the prospects for the development of PPP in the implementation of smart-specialization in Ukraine. It is proposed to develop an Action Plan ” Roadmap” for the development of public-private partnership in each region. It was revealed that the result of the development of the Roadmap should be to determine the areas of practical implementation of Ukraine’s regional policy in the field of public-private partnership.

Tone and downstep in Paicî (Oceanic, New Caledonia)
Authors: Lionnet Florian
Published: April 2022

In this paper, I propose an updated analysis of the tone system of Paicî, one of the rare tonal Oceanic languages. Building on Jean-Claude Rivierre's (1974) work, I show that the tonal system of Paicî is best described with three underlying primitives: a High tone, a Low tone, and a downstep /↓/ analyzed as a register feature independent of tone. Paicî is particularly interesting for the empirical documentation as well as the typological and theoretical understanding of downstep, because it combines many rare properties: (i) only downstepped ↓L is attested; (ii) downstep is its own phonological object; (iii) downstep is realized utterance-initially; and (iv) downstep is not caused by a floating tone, but has its roots in a former accentual system. The paper also provides an acoustic description of tone and downstep in Paicî, an important step toward filling a serious gap in the documentation of downstepped ↓L tones and their properties.
