The purpose of the article is to substantiate the feasibility of an integrated approach to the implementation of measures for the restoration and modernization of housing stock and heat supply objects. On the conditional example of heat supply of a heated quarter (which means a small number of residential buildings to be heated, a local boiler room and local distribution heat networks), various modernization options are considered: separate thermal modernization of buildings, modernization of heating networks, modernization of the boiler room, and options for simultaneous modernization of all elements of the chain: production-supply-consumption of heat energy (complex modernization of the heated district). It is proved that precisely a comprehensive modernization, which involves a simultaneous production, coordinated in terms of time and volumes, supply and consumption of heat, is an effective instrument for improving efficiency in the sphere of heat supply and heat consumption. The complexity of modernization in this example involves thermal modernization of buildings in the heated district (with a decrease in heat consumption by 40%) with the simultaneous modernization of heat transmission networks (with a decrease in heat loss when supplied from 20% to 5%) and modernization of the boiler room (with an increase in the efficiency quotient of boiler equipment from 88% to 93%). The implementation of such a project is economically feasible for all participants: consumers reduce the cost of paying for heat supply services by 49%, and the supplier and producer of heat with a slight (up to 6%) increase in heating tariffs provide break-even activities and receive a larger investment resource in the form of a larger amount of depreciation. At the national level, the proposed mass complex modernization of heated districts can almost halve the consumption of natural gas by municipal heat and power engineering and to the same extent reduce emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere. In addition, it becomes possible to significantly reduce the amount of subsidies from the budget for the payment of housing and communal services by the population.

The article proves that today Ukraine finds itself in a situation where it depends solely on imported supplies of light oil products to meet its motor fuel needs, which is unacceptable from the point of view of the country’s energy and national security, and the solution to this problem lies in the plane of organization of motor fuel production from the country’s own natural resources. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the technical and economic foundations for creating a synthetic motor fuel subsector in Ukraine. To achieve this aim, the authors define the classification of alternative motor fuels; provide a comparative description of the energy content and scope of use of different types of motor fuels, and also provides comparative characteristics of synthetic along with the best grades of natural oil; assess the compliance of synthetic gasoline and diesel fuel with the Euro-4 standard; considers the technical-operational advantages of synthetic analogues of oil fuel over other alternatives. Based on the carried out analysis, the article proves that, given the limited resource capabilities of Ukraine’s motor fuel production from oil and natural gas, the production of synthetic liquid motor fuel (SLMF) from coal raw materials should be recommended for development in the country; the raw material base for the production of synthetic liquid fuel is researched. The article also analyzes the peculiarities of methods and specific technologies for producing synthetic liquid motor fuel from coal and determines that the technology of synthesizing synthetic liquid motor fuel using the Fischer-Tropsch method with preliminary production of synthesis gas by steam-oxygen gasification of coal is advisable for development in Ukraine. Taking this into account, the resource and product balance of the full cycle of synthetic liquid fuel production is formed, a general production scheme of the industry subsector of SLF in Ukraine is developed, technical-economic characteristics of the national and regional industrial complexes for the production of SLF are presented, and the structure of the subsector for the production of SLF in the country is proposed.

Authors:   State Biotechnological University, Poltavets Anatolii M.
Published: February 2023

The article examines the issue of the use of labor resources in the context of land resource management of agrarian enterprises. Such indicators as the number of the population, the share of the rural population, the share of labor resources employed in agricultural production, the share of the able-bodied rural population, the area of agricultural land per person employed in agricultural production, as well as the volume of production of agricultural products per person employed in agricultural production were analyzed. Thus, during 2010-2021, the working capacity ratio of the rural population decreased slightly, from 0.59 to 0.58, which indicates that the labor potential in rural areas is not high enough. The coefficient of utilization of labor resources in 2011 was only 0.22, which indicates that in rural areas only every fourth resident is engaged in labor activities or works outside of agriculture. The load on one able-bodied person is increasing. Both the general level of economic activity of the rural population and the level of economic activity of the able-bodied population are decreasing. The number of people employed in agriculture is decreasing every year. Thus, in 2010, the number of people working in rural areas was 2870.6 thousand, in 2019 - 3010.4 thousand, and in 2021 - only 2692.7 thousand. The level of unemployment in rural areas is much higher than in the city, which is due to the limited number of vacancies and their specific characteristics. However, a significant reduction in the number of people employed in agricultural production did not have a positive effect on the dynamics of labor productivity in general in the country, since the labor force from this industry sector was displaced to personal auxiliary farms where manual labor is used mostly and, therefore, a lower level of the labor productivity is observed. The main trends in the dynamics of indicators of the working capacity ratio of the rural population, the ratio of the use of labor resources, the level of economic activity of the rural population, etc. have been determined. It is established that the level of unemployment in rural areas is significantly higher than in the city, which is due to the limited number of vacancies and their specific characteristics.

Authors: V. Ravisankar Devarakonda B. , Nandanavam Venkateswararao
Published: February 2023

Spectrum sensing is one of the key tasks of cognitive radio to monitor the activity of the primary user. The sensing accuracy of the secondary user is dependent on the signal-to-noise ratio of the primary user signal. A novel Multi-head Attention-based spectrum sensing for Cognitive Radio is proposed through this work to increase the detection probability of the primary user at a low signal- to-noise ratio condition. A radio machine learning dataset with a variety of digital modulation schemes and varying signal-to-noise ratios served as a training source for the proposed model. Further, the performance metrics were evaluated to assess the performance of the proposed model. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model is optimized in terms of the amount of training time required which also has an increase of 27.6% in the probability of detection of the primary user under a low signal-to-noise ratio when compared to other related works that use deep learning.
Comparative Study and Performance Analysis of MANET Routing Protocol
Authors: Hemant Nemade Chetana , Pujeri Uma
Published: February 2023

MANET (Mobile ad hoc networks) are famous in research due to their ad hoc nature and effectiveness during calamities across continents when no framework support is free. Wireless network interfaces have a limited transmission range; nodes may require multiple network hops to trade information across the organization. Each versatile node functions like a switch in such an organization, sending details to the other portable connected nodes. The nodes should not interrupt communication and associate themselves with the correct information transfer. Another significant issue was the development of expandable route discoveries capable of assessing rapid topography variations and numerous network detachments caused by high vehicle quality. This research article describes extensive technological changes, including the components and flaws of current progressive routing algorithms. Routing protocols designed for wired networks, such as the distance vector or connection state conventions, are inadequate for this application because they assume fixed geography and high overheads. This research article includes the MANET-supported routing protocols and their performance analysis across various performance parameters such as packet delivery ratio, average throughput, residual energy, and delay.
Human Face Emotions Recognition from Thermal Images Using DenseNet
Authors: Babu Rajendra Prasad S. , Sai Chandana B.
Published: February 2023

In the current scenario face identification and recognition is an important technique in surveillance. The face is a necessary biometric in humans. Therefore face detection plays a major job in computer vision applications. Several face recognition and emotions classification approaches have been presented throughout the last few decades of research to improve the rate of face recognition for thermal pictures. However, in real-time, lighting conditions might change due to several factors, such as the different times of capture, weather, etc. Due to variations in lighting intensity, the performance of the facial expression recognition system is not good. This paper proposed a model for human thermal face detection and expression classification. Four main steps were involved in this research. Initially, the Difference of the Gaussian (DOG) filter is utilized to crop the input thermal images and then normalize the images using the median filter in pre-processing step. Then, Efficient Net is used for extracting features such as shape, location, and occurrences from thermal face images. After that, detect human faces utilized by the YOLOv4 technique to better emotions classification. Finally, classify the emotions on faces by using the DenseNet technique into seven emotions such as happy, sad, disgust, surprise, anger, fear, and neutral. The proposed method outperforms state-of-art techniques for face recognition on thermal pictures, and classifies the expressions, according to experimentations on the RGB-D-T database. The accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score metrics will be utilized with the database to assess the efficacy of the proposed methodology. The proposed models achieve a high classification accuracy of 95.97% on the RGB-D-T database. Furthermore, the outcomes show good precision for various face recognition tasks.

Beyond the Social Distance and Cultural Similarities: Turkish Citizens and Syrians in Şanlıurfa
Authors: Yetkin Aker Deniz , Erdoğan M. Murat
Published: February 2023

In Şanlıurfa, Syrians and residents have a historical background and cultural similarities such as language and kinship. Nevertheless, the number of Syrian refugees is very high in the city and residents are distant to Syrians. Şanlıurfa case study aims to analyze the variation in social distance of residents toward Syrian refugees. This study argues that the number of migrants in a country (or in a neighborhood) is more important than cultural similarities when explaining social cohesion. In addition, based on multiple regression analysis, the study suggests that under such  circumstance, there are mainly three determinants to explain variation in social distance, which are related to the perception and/or beliefs of Şanlıurfa residents, such as perceived crime and social disorder; their beliefs about Syrian refugees’ personalities; and their linguistic (in)tolerance ( increase in criminality (perceived crime) and erosion in identity (and maybe norms, that is social disorder)).
Psicología ambiental urbana. Una mirada a la ciudad contemporánea
Authors: Villalpando-Flores Arturo Eduardo
Published: February 2023

El objetivo del presente escrito apunta a la reflexión de la relación del diseño del entorno urbano contemporáneo con el comportamiento humano y la calidad de vida. Esto se debe a que las ciudades tienen múltiples problemas de producción espacial y depredación ambiental, sobreestimulando procesos psicológicos y repercutiendo en la salud y bienestar percibido. Dentro de este panorama la psicología ambiental contribuye al análisis de la relación del ser humano con el medio sociofísico, de tal manera que los procesos urbanos, socioespaciales, de planificación social-comunitaria y psicoambientales, impactan en la percepción del entorno próximo y de la calidad de vida, incidiendo en las resignificaciones espaciales y sostenibilidad urbano-ambiental y psicológica, con lo cual se pone de manifiesto la importancia de una infraestructura verde urbana que mitigue conflictos ambientales, desavenencias sociales y problemas psicológicos, beneficiando las distintas formas de apropiación física y psicológica del hecho urbano.

Published: February 2023

Purpose. Studying the features of the Zhailma volcano-tectonic depression formation, as well as the principles and factors affecting this structure’s ore formation. Methodology. Analysis of the results of isotope dating of rocks, critical analysis of literature and fund materials, analysis of the genesis and specificity of the Zhailma structure mineralization, features of the volcano-tectonic depression formation. Findings. The Zhailma graben syncline formation is associated with subsidence after ejections of significant masses of acidic magmatic material from stratovolcanoes concentrated on the Zhailma structure. The initiation and development of the graben-syncline is closely related to the processes of tectonomagmatic evolution of the Devonian volcano-plutonic belt. Originality. The search model for stratiform deposits of the Atasu type has been revised, taking into account the original theory of the volcano-tectonic origin of the structure, formed at the final stages of the formation and development of the Devonian volcano-plutonic belt. The genesis of the Atasu-type deposits is considered as sedimentary-hydrothermal one, associated with the processes of diagenesis and catagenesis occurring within sedimentary basins. The presence of two large volcanoes on the northern side of the caldera structure was substantiated: North Zhairem and Ustanynzhal. Practical value. It is recommended to carry out predictive metallogenic and, accordingly, prospecting work for deposits of the Atasu type within the graben-synclines of the Sarysu-Teniz segment of the Devonian volcanic belt, where such deposits of ferromanganese ores as Tur, Bogach and Karaadyr are already being developed in the Aydagarly graben-syncline.

Published: February 2023

Purpose. Substantiation of peculiarities of modernization of a heavy-duty vehicle with a hybrid power transmission by using the formed set of analytical and technological solutions for power transmission under operating conditions. Methodology. For the developed functional model of a hybrid vehicle operation, the parameters of the functional model and its links are presented, the relationships between the elements are described, and the boundary conditions are formed. A combined series-parallel hybrid drive scheme has been used, as it has a higher efficiency compared to parallel and series ones. When operating in idle mode and low loads, the diesel generator set replenishes the energy reserve in the energy storage device and the vehicle is operated. To recharge the energy storage devices, it is possible to use the traction electric motor as a generator, and during operation it is used in the energy recovery mode during vehicle braking. An optimization mathematical model has been developed to determine the parameters of the power plant and energy storage device, taking into account operating conditions. A procedure has been developed along with, on its basis, a subroutine algorithm for calculating the required energy intensity of the energy storage device and the power of the vehicle’s power plant. An assessment of the modernization effectiveness of mining dump trucks by hybrid power transmission was made. Findings. A functional model of a hybrid vehicle operation under appropriate operating conditions has been developed, and the main parameters limitations of the state have been given. The corresponding procedures and algorithm for calculating the parameters of the energy storage device and the power unit were compiled and then were used in the corresponding computer calculation program. In the study on fuel efficiency, three BelAZ-7547 dump trucks were considered. The values of the kinetic energy configuration were determined with an increase in speed (acceleration) and with a decrease in speed (deceleration). An assessment of the upgrading effectiveness was made for mining trucks with hybrid power transmission. The payback period of the corresponding measures was 1.42 years. Originality. To determine the power storage and power unit parameters, a functional model of a hybrid vehicle operation and an optimization mathematical model for determining the parameters of the power plant and energy storage, taking into account operating conditions, have been developed. The substantiation of a complex of analytical and technological solutions for the power transmission of a hybrid mining dump truck under operating conditions has been carried out. Practical value. The results obtained are useful in the implementation of the modernization of heavy mining dump trucks with hybrid power transmission in the operating conditions.

Purpose. To study environmental crimes in the field of subsurface resources protection and provide their criminological characterization, namely, to determine criminological indicators reflecting the studied crime rate, dynamics and structure. Methodology. A system of general scientific and special methods and approaches ensuring an objective analysis of the studied issue, particularly, logical and dogmatic, systematic, documentary, and modeling and statistical analysis methods. Findings. We determined absolute, mean and relative indicators of environmental crimes in the field of subsurface resources protection in Ukraine during 2002–2021, their total recorded number (9118 crimes), annual average (456 crimes) and share in the overall crime structure over the past 20 years (0.1 %). The conclusion shows a significant growth of environmental crimes in the field of subsurface resources protection in the overall crime structure (from 0.01 to 0.24 %) due to a significantly higher increase in these crimes rate compared to the absolute overall crime rate. The calculated dynamics indicators showed wave-like changes in the recorded crimes number against their steady overall upward trend – over the twenty-year period analyzed, reported crimes of this category increased more than 14 times. Originality. Following a long-term statistical analysis, since illegal amber mining criminalization, the article provides the first criminological characterization of environmental crimes in the field of subsurface resources protection. Practical value. The authors substantiate their understanding of the essence of this crime category envisaged by Article 240 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code “Violation of the Rules for Subsurface Resources Protection or Use, Illegal Extraction of Mineral Resources” and Article 2401 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code “Illegal Mining, Sale, Acquisition, Transfer, Sending, Transportation, and Processing of Amber”. The calculated indicators of the rate, dynamics and structure of the studied crimes are of standalone significance for academic research and law enforcement activities and create an appropriate basis for the information provision of combating environmental crimes in the field of subsoil protection being a prerequisite for developing an appropriate system of specified crime prevention measures.

Published: February 2023

Purpose. To create methodological tools for assessing obstacles to implementation of energy saving measures by enterprises. Methodology. In the course of the research the following methods were used: economic-mathematical modeling (substantiation of parameters of preferential crediting of energy-saving projects of enterprises on the basis of building models of repayment of loans and obtaining financial and economic results from these projects), classification and generalization (when grouping obstacles to reduction of consumption of non-renewable energy resources), system analysis (in the development of methodological principles for assessing barriers to energy efficiency); economic analysis and technical and economic calculations (when performing empirical studies on barriers to reducing natural gas consumption), questionnaire (when conducting a survey of owners and managers of surveyed enterprises on factors that hinder the implementation of projects), mathematical statistics (to process the results). Findings. Based on the results of a survey of owners and managers of 74 Ukrainian enterprises belonging to three industries characterized by significant volumes of natural gas consumption, the most significant barriers to reducing the consumption of non-renewable energy resources were identified and grouped. Methods for estimating the level of these barriers by the totality of the studied enterprises and by certain types of financial and economic barriers to reducing the consumption of energy resources are proposed. Models of substantiation of parameters of preferential crediting of energy saving projects which have for the purpose of realization of measures for reduction of consumption of natural gas at the enterprises are constructed. Originality. Existing methods for grouping barriers to reducing the consumption of non-renewable energy resources have been supplemented by introducing such additional features as the stages of development and implementation of energy saving measures and the factors of occurrence of relevant barriers. The methodological basis for assessing these barriers has been improved by substantiating the approach according to which the height of the barrier is determined by the cost of resources to overcome it. Formalized models of preferential lending for energy-saving projects of enterprises have been built, taking into account the efficiency of budget expenditures for such lending. Practical value. The obtained results can be used by both enterprises and public authorities and local governments in assessing obstacles to reducing the consumption of non-renewable energy resources and developing a set of organizational and economic measures to overcome them.

Published: February 2023

Present and future generations have a great concern about environmental issues such as the increase of contamination of natural resources and the loss of plant and animal life on earth due to excessive waste and its poor management, poor production practices and consumption habits. As a result of this concern, the main purpose of this research was to present the strategies and the framework that constitute the circular economy (CE) and to consider its application in Latin America. The methodology included a literature review using Scopus and Dialnet databases, applying the key terms “Circular Economy” and “Latin America”, the selection criteria were based on language, number of citations and publication date, which resulted in a statistical sample of 62 articles and reports. After completing the literature review of CE principal concepts, implementation strategies throughout different economic levels, opportunities and disadvantages for use, the researcher was able to see the potential for a global change in the economic system. Because there are clear differences in the application of a circular economy in different regions, the researcher found that an investigation into the socio-economic conditions of any particular region would be necessary before implementing a circular business model. The researcher found that in Latin America a circular economy with a focus on regenerative agriculture and a waste management sector with a waste-to-energy focus provided a high potential for success.

Проведення лабораторних занять з фізики в режимі синхронного дистанційного навчання вимагає наявності комп’ютерних програм, які адекватно моделюють реальне лабораторне обладнання, матеріалів, необхідних для підготовки та контролю готовності студентів до виконання лабораторних досліджень із врахуванням їх експериментаторського досвіду, а також методики проведення лабораторних занять онлайн.
У статті проаналізовані різновиди програмної реалізації лабораторних робіт, вимоги до комп’ютерних моделей реальних лабораторних робіт та обґрунтовано застосування мови HTML5 та Java Script для створення віртуальних лабораторних робіт (ВЛР) з фізики для студентів першого курсу всіх технічних спеціальностей, які навчаються за програмою підготовки бакалаврів у Національному технічному університеті України «Київський політехнічний інститут імені Ігоря Сікорського». Експертне оцінювання засвідчило відповідність створених ВЛР реальним прототипам, що є важливим для сприйняття студентами віртуальних об’єктів подібними до реальних. У роботі також стисло описана процедура розробки ВЛР, створені дидактичні матеріали (методичні вказівки, відеофільми, тестові завдання) та методика проведення лабораторних занять у режимі синхронного дистанційного навчання.
Застосування створених ВЛР та розробленої методики проведення лабораторних занять онлайн дозволило достатньо успішно подолати труднощі організації навчального процесу під час вимушеного переходу студентів на дистанційне навчання.

Перехід на дистанційну та змішану форми навчання в більшості закладів вищої освіти в період пандемії COVID-19, а потім дії воєнного стану в Україні спонукав викладачів до створення власних електронних освітніх ресурсів та електронних навчальних курсів, за допомогою яких передається зміст навчальної дисципліни. У статті висвітлені підходи до оцінювання якості електронних навчальних курсів. Виокремлено основні структурні компоненти електронного навчального курсу для закладів вищої освіти: техніко-технологічний, нормативно-організаційний, методичний, змістовий, результативно-оцінювальний, які можна вважати факторами або чинниками, що впливають на його якість. Визначено, що техніко-технологічний фактор характеризується можливістю та зручністю встановлення електронного навчального курсу на ПК і мобільні пристрої, сумісністю електронного навчального курсу з різними OC, наявністю та якістю інструкції щодо встановлення/запуску електронного навчального курсу, наявністю опису технічних характеристик електронного навчального курсу і контактів його розробника(ів); критеріями нормативно-організаційного фактора є нормативні акти, що стосуються навчального курсу, рецензії на електронного навчального курсу, анкети для здобувачів вищої освіти та викладача щодо визначення якості електронного навчального курсу; ознаки методичного блоку – інструкції для користувачів електронного навчального курсу, методичні матеріали для здобувачів вищої освіти щодо виконання основних видів завдань, методичні рекомендації для викладача електронного навчального курсу, зворотний зв'язок; змістовий фактор характеризується текстами лекцій, презентаціями до кожної теми, мультимедійними матеріалами, термінологічним словником, завданнями (практичними, інтерактивними, для самостійної роботи, творчими, дослідницькими), проєктними роботами, довідниковими матеріалами, списком основних і додаткових джерел, додатковими навчальними матеріалами, глосарієм.
Запропоновано базову факторно-критеріальну модель оцінювання якості електронного навчального курсу для закладів вищої освіти, що дозволяє здійснити об’єктивне кількісне оцінювання якості електронного навчального курсу та виявити можливі недоліки з метою їх вчасного усунення, яку можна використати під час розроблення та оцінювання електронних навчальних курсів для закладів вищої освіти з різних навчальних дисциплін.

Intensively developing digital technologies are transforming the basic processes studied by the didactics of higher education: ways of the teacher-student interrelated activity; the student and the knowledge, skills, and competencies intended to be learnt and gained; the teacher and the methodology of educational material. The learning goals set by the information society shift the focus from mastering the system of knowledge and developing professional skills to developing competencies, the formation of students’ readiness to design their own unique educational trajectories based on a competency-based approach. As higher education becomes more digitalized, there is a shift from coordinating teaching and learning activities to projecting, forming, and mastering individual educational plans. To meet the challenges of modern education, educators are expected to be able to comprehend changes impacting all of the components of didactic theory, including goals, content, forms, technologies, and learning tools. Digitalization processes lead to the dominance of infographic forms of presentation of educational material instead of narrative (text) forms associated with the development of voluminous texts. The variety of forms of organization of educational activities in the digital educational environment is increasing significantly, they are becoming a dynamic open system of educational modules. The educators are being faced with new theoretical tasks due to the active modernization of university educational practice, including the need to find ways to implement continuity between traditional and innovative methods of organizing the educational process while taking into account specific cognitive, motivational, and need-based characteristics of the digital generation. The transition from teaching as the educators’ primary activity to the variety of pedagogical roles they play in the digital educational process actualizes teachers’ mastery of the information technologies and the development of their personal professional teaching strategy.
