Science as a way to increase the innovation capacity of the economy: problems, risks and prospects
Authors: Davymuka Stepan A. , Paska Oleh V.
Published: April 2024

The results of science are directly related to the development of technologies, the level of which depends on the timeliness, scope, and quality of research, the effectiveness of R&D, and its transfer to production. The effectiveness of such processes directly depends on an efficient state science and technology policy. Years of postponed systemic reforms of the organization of scientific activity in Ukraine and gradual reduction of funding for science to a critical level only increase the scale of problems and deepen the loss of the country’s innovation capacity. New shocking challenges have been added to the problems of science’s survival in the last pre-war years due to the consequences of the full-scale war unleashed by russia against Ukraine. The article analyzes the role of science as a way of forming and increasing the innovative capacity of economic and social development. The authors identify and characterize the state and peculiarities of the functioning of the scientific sphere in Ukraine in the context of the russian-Ukrainian war. The article summarizes the peculiarities of approaches to the prospects for the development of science as an effective component of the national innovation system and the directions of its contribution to the post-war reconstruction of the country. The article aims to summarize the peculiarities and analyze the general state of functioning of the scientific sphere of Ukraine during the war, to identify its systemic problems, and to set the tasks of development in the post-war period in terms of forming the innovative capacity for the restoration and modernization of the national economy. Systematic analysis of the proposals initiated by scientists, experts, and public authorities in the field of education and science has shown that the state will try to focus funding on research in the field of defense complex and several other applied fields. This requires the actualization of direct dialogue between enterprises and scientists with some support from the state. There is a need for another significant transformation of the science governance system and the creation of an effective state body capable of efficiently planning activities and allocating and controlling research expenditures.

Authors: Dos Santos Batista Leonardo , Kumada Kate Mamhy Oliveira
Published: April 2024

Os resultados do Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes (Pisa) de 2018, indicaram que a maioria dos brasileiros apresenta baixo desempenho na matemática cotidiana, revelando assim uma situação alarmante na educação nacional. Em busca de contribuir com este cenário, observa-se a tendência da valorização de práticas sociais de numeramento e letramento visual (ou pedagogia visual) que se apóiam, respectivamente, no cotidiano e no uso de diferentes recursos imagéticos para a educação matemática, cujo potencial pode ser favorecido também pelas tecnologias digitais. Assim, acredita-se que a Realidade Aumentada (RA) pode beneficiar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de estudantes surdos e ouvintes. Com base nessa premissa, a partir de uma revisão sistemática, este artigo teve por objetivo realizar uma análise do uso de aplicativos de RA na educação matemática para surdos e ouvintes. Apesar de nenhum dos recursos encontrados ter sido pensado ou conter acessibilidade para o público surdo, os resultados evidenciaram que há um grande potencial da RA para trabalhar com conteúdos da matemática de maneira dinâmica, interativa e inclusiva com esse alunado. Acreditamos que os achados podem favorecer a produção de materiais didáticos deste segmento, sugerindo maior destaque para a temática.
Bryce Canyon National Park: Paleontological resource inventory
Authors: Tran Tut , Bonham Alexandra , Tweet Justin , Santucci Vincent
Published: April 2024

Originally designated as a national monument in 1923, Bryce Canyon National Park (BRCA) is recognized for its exceptional pink-orange hoodoo landscapes. Its iconic hoodoos, consisting of the Paleocene?Eocene Claron Formation, are only part of the geology of BRCA, which includes a nearly uninterrupted sequence of Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway evolution and diverse depositional environments from approximately 100 to 77 million years ago. This sequence consists of the coastal Naturita Formation, the marine Tropic Shale, the transitional Straight Cliffs Formation, and the terrestrial Wahweap Formation. These strata, and the Claron Formation, preserve diverse paleontological resources. Fossils at BRCA have received little visibility for most of the park?s history, despite relatively rapid advances in the study of Late Cretaceous and Paleogene paleontology in neighboring public lands, especially Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) to the east.
The best documentation of paleontological resources at BRCA was produced through concerted field inventory of the park conducted by Dr. Jeff Eaton and several cohorts of interns and students from 1988 to 2015. In that time, Eaton?s team documented nearly 200 paleontological localities within the park that yielded clams, snails, fish, frogs, turtles, lizards, snakes, crocodilians, dinosaurs, and mammals from the Straight Cliffs and Wahweap Formations and invertebrates, plants, and trace fossils in the Claron Formation. Eaton?s survey resulted in several publications, including the description of new microvertebrate species from the Straight Cliffs and Wahweap Formations. Despite this body of work, the park did not develop an internal paleontological resources management program.
A new paleontological resources program at BRCA was advanced in response to construction activities that impacted several fossil localities in the Wahweap Formation. Newly hired paleontological staff conducted two seasons of field inventory (2022?2023), relocating as many of Eaton?s sites as possible and recording new fossil occurrences along the way. In this timeframe, BRCA paleontologists encountered more than 150 localities. They also conducted detailed literature review, examined the park?s paleontological collections data, and cultivated partnerships with outside researchers to better comprehend the current state and future potential of the park?s paleontological resources.
This document synthesizes the total current body of knowledge on paleontological resources at BRCA to create a comprehensive paleontological inventory report. It combines historical data from the scientific literature, previous work conducted in the park, and recent fieldwork to cover BRCA?s geologic history and fossil diversity and the history of paleontological study, education, and resources management in the park.

Authors: Butt Mohamed Sameer
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Paediatric airway emergencies are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize current practice guidelines and clinical outcomes in managing paediatric airway emergencies. Methods: A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria were studies that reported on the management of paediatric airway emergencies. Data extraction and analysis were conducted based on pre-defined criteria. Results: An overview of current practice guidelines from various organizations was provided, highlighting key recommendations for paediatric airway emergencies. A review of studies reporting clinical outcomes of paediatric airway emergencies showed variations in mortality rates and causes of death, as well as complication rates and types of complications such as respiratory failure, hypoxia, pneumothorax, aspiration, bradycardia, hypotension, and esophageal perforation. Discussion: Comparison of guidelines and reported outcomes revealed areas of agreement such as the importance of early recognition and intervention in paediatric airway emergencies and disagreement with regard to the use of progressive airway management techniques such as intubation and surgical airway management. Potential explanations for discrepancies were discussed. Limitations of the review were also acknowledged, including potential publication bias and heterogeneity of study designs. Future research directions were suggested, such as the need for standardized data collection and reporting in clinical trials. Conclusion: This systematic review provides a comprehensive overview of current practice guidelines and clinical outcomes in managing paediatric airway emergencies. The findings highlight the importance of early recognition and prompt management of these emergencies, as well as the need for further research to improve clinical outcomes.
Cocaine Induced Cardiac Arrhythmias
Authors: Reinfeld Howard B
Published: April 2024

An addictive drug that provides pleasure and reward is more likely to attack various parts of the body and affect health. Dangerous substances are also involved in cocaine processing. Not just the high dosage of cocaine but a lower quantity may also lead to severe health issues, which ultimately cause panic attacks, violent behavior, and tremors. However, long-term use of cocaine may lead to heart attack and is likely to cause sudden death. Cardiac arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat is highly associated with cocaine use. The potential causes of cocaine-associated arrhythmias, including sodium channel blockade, ischemia, and potassium channel blockade, and clinical manifestations that are influenced by acidosis, hyperthermia, hypoxia, and electrolyte abnormalities will be discussed.

Authors: Mohamed Ahmed Almostafa Balla Dafalha
Published: April 2024

Open pure tibiotalar dislocations are rarely recorded cases with superficial fibular nerve damage. Case presentation: The authors describe a case of open tibiotalar dislocation without a fracture and a deep deltoid ligament damage as a result of a bad fall. Six hours after the trauma, debridement, open reduction, and casting were done. Following a 4-week checkup, the results were positive and infection-free. Conclusion: Early reduction and appropriate wound care of an open tibiotalar dislocation with delayed repair of an associated deep deltoid ligament tear led to a successful outcome.
Long-term Functional and Pain Outcomes Following Arthroscopic Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tear Completion and Repair
Authors: S Lee Christopher
Published: April 2024

Objective: There remains little consensus on the optimal treatment approach for partial-thickness rotator cuff tears and few studies have examined the long-term outcomes of different surgical repair techniques. The purpose of this study is to identify the long-term functional and pain outcomes of arthroscopic tear completion followed by repair. The authors hypothesize that this technique will allow patients to have long-term pain relief and return to a pre-injury level of function. Methods: Patients (n=16) who underwent arthroscopic tear completion and repair for a partial-thickness rotator cuff tear were included in this case series. Each patient returned for a one-time follow-up visit, with an average follow-up time of 7.09 years, at which time physical and neurological exams were performed, quality of life was assessed through subjective questionnaires, American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder scores were obtained, and magnetic resonance imaging was performed. Results: The average ASES score was 85.3, with 81% of patients reporting that they were able to return to a pre-injury level of function. Half of the patients reported the highest possible UCLA shoulder score of 35. Physical examination showed that patients had excellent strength and range of motion. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated continuity of the repair in all but one patient. However, 25% of patients reported return of symptoms since surgery, including pain and limited mobility. Conclusion: At an average of 7.09 years follow-up, most patients were found to have full mobility, pre-injury level of activity, and maintenance of rotator cuff integrity in the surgically treated shoulder. However, one fourth of patients reported return of symptoms. The authors conclude that the tear completion and repair technique can lead to long-term functional improvement, but has less favorable results in terms of subjective pain level and quality of life.
CPPD and Associated Crystals in Clinically Diagnosed Chondrocalcinosis: A Clinicopathological Study of 20 Patients
Authors: Bély Miklós
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Chondrocalcinosis (Ch-C), induced by calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals (CPPD) [Ca2P2O7.2H2O] is considered as a distinct metabolic disease and a well-defined clinical entity, with characteristic clinical manifestations and symptoms. This study used previously found method by the author .i.e, non-staining approach to discover crystal deposits in patients with clinically diagnosed Ch-C, to find a possible correlation between coexisting crystals, and to assess the role of coexistent crystals in inflammatory cellular processes of joints. Patients and methods: There were forty (40) surgical specimens that had been traditionally processed from 16 patients who had been clinically diagnosed with Ch-C. Results: In unstained tissue sections CPPD crystals were found in 22 of 40 samples of all 16 patients. Beside the CPPD crystals calcium hydroxyapatite (HA) [Ca5(PO4)3(OH)] crystals were found in 26 tissue samples of all 16 patients, cholesterol (CC) [C27H46O] in 23 tissue samples of 12 patients, and crystalline liquid lipid droplets (CL) in 11 tissue samples of 5 patients. More or less amorphous deposits of calcium carbonate [CaCO3] and/or calcium phosphate [Ca3(PO4)2] were present alongside CPPD and the contemporaneous crystals. There was a significant and positive correlation between prevalence of CPPD and HA. The connection between inflammatory cellular infiltration and CPPD, HA, CC or CL crystals surrounded by mineral deposits was not significant. Conclusions: The non-staining approach is a practical, low-tech way to find CPPD, HA, CC, and other crystals (with or without CL). The positive and significant correlation between CPPD and HA support the earlier premise that CPPD and HA represent basically an identical metabolic disorder). CPPD and/or HA crystals can provoke inflammatory processes responsible for the clinical symptoms, but the variable amounts of amorphous minerals enclose (isolate) the crystals, and can reduce or eliminate the inflammatory reaction. The authors assume that CC (with or without CL) is an associated phenomenon (concomitant fat metabolic malady) without direct cause of inflammation, and is not responsible for clinical symptoms of crystal induced arthropathies.
Femoro-popliteal Artery Bypass and Transmetatarsal Amputation Followed by Delayed Forefoot Flap
Authors: Idiata Michael Mayombo
Published: April 2024

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a severe blockage in the arteries of the lower extremities, which markedly reduces blood-flow. It is a serious form of peripheral arterial disease, or PAD, but less common than claudication. PAD is caused by atherosclerosis, the hardening and narrowing of the arteries over time due to the buildup of fatty deposits called plaque. CLI is a chronic condition that results in severe pain in the feet or toes, even while resting. Complications of poor circulation can include sores and wounds that won't heal in the legs and feet. Left untreated, the complications of CLI will result in amputation of the affected limb. The authors present a patient with CLI, and a left forefoot gangrene treated with multi-stage operations (femoro-popliteal arterial bypass, transmetatarsal amputation and delayed forefoot free-flap) with good results.

The long-term activity of oil refineries has led to the formation of man-made hydrocarbon deposits under their sites. The deposit is a lenticular formation, elongated in plan for several kilometers towards the groundwater discharge zone, penetrating into the geo-environment up to the first aquifer. The reserves of technogenic deposits can be commensurate with traditional natural deposits. On the one hand, technogenic deposits are a formation containing a mixture of raw materials and processed products of various fractions and commercial quality hydrocarbons. In this case, the content is extracted from the rocks with the help of pumping equipment of a network of production wells, separated from the water component and transferred for use or processing as a secondary material resource. On the other hand, a field containing sub-grade hydrocarbons is a significant water-oil emulsion. It is a constant source of negative impact on the environment and pollution of adjacent fragments of the geological environment. The use of a water-based layer containing hydrocarbons in concentrations insufficient for resource use is its treatment as contaminated wastewater. Purification of the water-emulsion phase from residual hydrocarbons is lengthy and extremely costly and requires new modular treatment facilities at the location of the hydrocarbon deposit or reserve capacities at existing plants.

The relevance of the study is predetermined by the unresolved problems of disposal of oil-containing waste in the Yaroslavl region. The purpose of the study was to analyze the system for preventing technospheric hazards caused by the formation of industrial waste and their negative impact on the environment. The object of the study was industrial waste, highly hazardous to the environment, characteristic of a number of enterprises in the region: acid tar. The subject of the study was the process of optimizing the composition of a bitumen binder based on acid tar in terms of the content of galvanic sludge, captax and sulfur for subsequent use in a modified form as a secondary oil-containing raw material for the production of bitumen emulsions, pastes, and lubricants. Such raw materials, technologically brought to a low-hazard level, can be successfully and effectively used in various production operations of construction, reconstruction, operation, and repair of facilities. The optimization process was carried out using statistical research methods using, during modeling, the obtained dependence of the withdrawal properties on the factors of a second-degree polynomial with two unknowns. Calculations were performed using an Excel spreadsheet package with built-in mathematical local calculation programs. The research results in the technological part have been patented and implemented in the practical activities of enterprises in the region. The value of scientific and practical developments lies in reducing the volume of formation and storage of hazardous oil-containing acid tar waste and, as a consequence, preventing and reducing the level of technospheric danger and potential man-made emergency situations.

Published: April 2024

The study develops the problem of risk management for the development of hazardous technogenic processes in the activities of high-tech industries based on the results of control (supervisory) measures of regulatory bodies (on the example of control (supervisory) activities in the field of nature management).The purpose of the study is to develop and describe a risk management model for the development of hazardous technogenic processes in the activities of high-tech industries based on the results of control supervisory activities, which corresponds to a number of provisions of a risk-oriented approach in management, both on the part of enterprises and on the part of regulatory authorities. The results of the study in accordance with the set tasks include a developed system of criteria for determining the level of risk in the activities of enterprises (including high-tech ones) based on the results of control (supervisory) activities, which makes it possible to determine the degree of risk in the activities of enterprises in numerical terms, to compare enterprises by the degree of risk. The presented risk map of enterprises based on the risks identified from the results of control (supervisory) activities allows to determine the most significant risks in the enterprise's activities in order to identify priority areas of management impact. The developed risk management model for the development of hazardous technogenic processes in the activities of high-tech industries based on the formed risk map makes it possible to ensure the prediction of hazardous technogenic processes and carry out targeted control impact in order to minimize them.

La parodia de la literatura cortés y hagiográfica en Aucassin et Nicolette: el hada y la santa a la luz de la pastorela R439a = 738
Authors: Simó Torres Meritxell
Published: April 2024

En este artículo propongo nuevos hallazgos intertextuales que conectan la chantefable Aucassin et Nicolette al género lírico de la pastorela, así como a los lais bretones y a la leyenda hagiográfica de San Eustaquio. Más allá de incrementar la nómina de textos que nutren la escritura del anónimo, pretendo mostrar la profunda imbricación de los tres hipotextos, que interseccionan en tres episodios protagonizados por Nicolette. La dimensión metaliteraria de este personaje, configurado en diversos puntos de la chantefable como una proyección de la figura autorial, desvela las estrategias compositivas de la obra, que, fusionando los modelos cortés y hagiográfico, los somete a una reescritura paródica en clave de pastorela. La maniobra cobra pleno sentido en el contexto cultural de la sociedad arrasiana del siglo XIII, de la que Aucassin et Nicolette se revela un producto genuino.
«Tenía ossos y leones y otros animales fieros que los grandes señores suelen tener»: algunas huellas del coleccionismo animal en los libros de caballerías españoles
Authors: Aguilar Perdomo Maria del Rosario
Published: April 2024

Este artículo tiene por objeto estudiar la manera como se registran en los libros de caballerías ciertas prácticas culturales de la realeza y la nobleza españolas relacionadas con los animales, en particular el coleccionismo animal, un fenómeno de gran importancia en las cortes europeas. A imitación de los emperadores romanos, la posesión de fieras salvajes y animales exóticos se convirtió en un signo de magnificencia y distinción social. A partir de la revisión de los testimonios históricos, se plantea que los libros de caballerías castellanos poetizaron algunas de las maneras como los seres humanos se relacionaron con los animales durante la temprana Edad Moderna española.

Published: April 2024

The analytical review of 2023 was prepared based on the analysis of materials and publications of the Beton GmbH information center (Germany).

Concrete construction, concrete and reinforced concrete technologies, carbon neutrality, and resource efficiency are the central topics that the Beton GmbH (IZB) information center is working on today on behalf of German cement and concrete manufacturers. As an analytical platform for manufacturers and the driving force of the industry, the center promotes new applications of cementbonded building materials and introduces innovative products and processes. Given the critical importance of cement and concrete in construction, the industry also has a special responsibility to mitigate the effects of climate change. Therefore, the German cement industry has been actively working for many years to reduce carbon emissions and conserve natural resources. Using innovative technologies, Germany plans to produce cement and concrete with zero carbon emissions by 2045.

An important element of the promotion and training of sustainable concrete construction is the provision of technical advice to builders, contractors, architects and engineers in the field of civil, road, high-rise and agricultural construction. The main focus is on concrete and processes that provide sustainable, reliable solutions, as well as contribute to the implementation of major planned ideas in accordance with the main global trends: climate efficiency, resource conservation, energy conservation.

THE NATURE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF CONSUMER THEORY IN MODERN ECONOMICS: THE CASE OF MODERN CHINA
Authors: ARTHUR WAINYARAGANIA KENNEDY
Published: April 2024

This paper examines the consumer theory both in a traditional setting – in which utility of the consumer is derived from the good itself, and in a new/modern setting – in which utility of the consumer is derived from the characteristics that the good possess. The paper is twofold - the first seeks to arrive at a precise concept about consumer theory and the nature of the generalizations of which it consists. The paper reviews the traditional consumer theory in terms of its weaknesses in modern economics, and discusses the new approach to consumer theory. The methodology used in analysis involved specification of the demand equations; specification of the utility functions; and application of goods differential approach. The application of goods differential approach was used to review the nature and significance of consumer theory in modern economics. The results of the review and analysis showed that characteristics of goods are the main and reasonable factor to utility, to determining the behaviour of the consumer towards decision making in choosing between goods. The traditional approach to consumer theory treats goods as giving direct utility instead of supposing that it is the properties/characteristics that goods possess that give direct utility. Therefore, it can be concluded that the good’s characteristic is an important determinant in explaining consumer behaviour.

Published: April 2024

Citizen participation in city governance is essential to the democratic functioning of urban society. Local government is the level of government closest to residents, and it is here that many important decisions are taken that have a direct impact on residents' quality of life. The aim of this study is to analyze citizen involvement in municipal management in Zogbodomey. Data were collected through individual interviews with 350 people belonging to sociolinguistic groups. The population of Zogbodomey has a good understanding of the concept of participatory governance, highlighting citizen participation options, communication, and inclusion in the design of development action programs, mutual trust and legislation on citizen participation. For them, the idea of participation is an inclusive process for building and carrying out development actions. According to the respondents, participation offers a number of opportunities. The investigations showed that the public was partly aware of the wide range of opportunities for civic participation. These include community media, opinion forums, development associations, professional associations, etc., taking into account the traditional councils of chiefs, etc. It should also be noted that traditional chiefdoms are involved in community development in a number of ways.

Authors: Deeb Omar , Muhtaseb Manal , Shaik Basheerulla
Published: April 2024

In this study, EGFR as a target for the anticancer activity of a series of 113 inhibitors were taken from the literature. Current work aims to derive statistically robust and appropriately validated multiple QSAR models using easily interpretable molecular descriptors and molecular docking analysis. It will be simpler to identify important structural trends and how they relate to anticancer activity as a result. The MLR model has been used to suggest some novel compounds with improved activity. It has been demonstrated how the predicted compounds interact with the enzyme using the docking study. All predicted compounds were discovered to have several hydrogen bonds with the receptor and involve their bulky groups in strong steric interactions with specific places of the enzyme. The proposed compounds exhibit good pharmacokinetic properties, according to the analysis of their pharmacokinetic profiles.

Actualmente, la investigación en el ámbito de la fisioterapia y el manejo del dolor ha ganado terreno. Sin embargo, es notable la falta de estudios significativos sobre la aplicación de la técnica de punción seca en puntos gatillo miofasciales (PGM) en el estado de Puebla. Por tanto, surge la necesidad de explorar esta área y comprender su potencial beneficio en el tratamiento del síndrome de dolor patelofemoral, una afección que afecta significativamente la calidad de vida de los pacientes. El objetivo principal de este estudio es evaluar y comparar los efectos del tratamiento con punción seca en los PGM del cuádriceps versus el tratamiento convencional en pacientes del hospital de Policía Auxiliar del estado de Puebla que presentan síndrome de dolor patelofemoral. Para realizar este estudio, se incluyeron inicialmente 46 pacientes, de los cuales se seleccionaron 32 mediante criterios específicos de inclusión y exclusión. Estos pacientes fueron asignados aleatoriamente a dos grupos de 16 individuos cada uno, abarcando ambos sexos y con edades comprendidas entre los 45 y 65 años. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que el tratamiento con punción seca muestra una eficacia superior en comparación con el enfoque terapéutico convencional. Se observó una reducción significativa en el dolor percibido por los pacientes, evaluado a través de la escala visual analógica del dolor, incluso con una menor cantidad de sesiones de tratamiento. Esta conclusión preliminar respalda la viabilidad y el potencial de la punción seca como una modalidad terapéutica efectiva en el manejo del síndrome de dolor patelofemoral.

Introducción: La neuralgia occipital (ON) es definida como un dolor repentino y agudo, de carácter punzante, que puede manifestarse de manera unilateral o bilateral en la región posterior del cuero cabelludo, en la distribución de los nervios occipitales, que puede llegar a ser incapacitante y muy dolorosa. Objetivo: Identificar la prevalencia y factores de riesgo asociados a la Neuralgia occipital de Arnold en las docentes que laboran en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil. Metodología: Este estudio es descriptivo, observacional, prospectivo, transversal, con un enfoque cuantitativo. La población consta de 81 docentes de sexo femenino, seleccionadas por muestreo no probabilístico, por conveniencia. Se utilizaron la prueba chi cuadrado y el Odds ratio con intervalo de confianza para analizar los factores de riesgo. Resultados: Los resultados, según criterios diagnósticos de la International Headache Society, revelaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas solo en dolor lancinante (17,9%) y disestesia o alodinia (11,5%). La prevalencia de ON en la población fue del 15,4%. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en otros criterios (p>0,05). Los factores de riesgo como estrés e hipotiroidismo no mostraron asociación significativa, aunque estuvieron cerca (Odds ratio: estrés 4,42, hipotiroidismo 3,33). Conclusión: los factores de riesgo propuestos no se asocian significativamente con la prevalencia de ON en esta población de docentes.

La presente investigación se plantea como un análisis académico estructural profundo que abarca aspectos estéticos, filosóficos y musicales, centrándose específicamente en las composiciones de dos destacados compositores: Gioachino Rossini y Witold Lutoslawski. Estos músicos representan periodos contrastantes en la historia de la música, lo que añade una riqueza significativa al análisis. El enfoque de esta investigación busca ir más allá de la mera apreciación superficial de las obras, procurando una comprensión más profunda mediante el análisis detallado de la forma y la fragmentación de los elementos expresivos presentes en sus composiciones. La culminación de este análisis se refleja en la apropiación del criterio estético-musical de los compositores, convirtiéndose en el fundamento para un acercamiento crítico que enriquece la interpretación musical. El proceso resulta en la construcción de un pensamiento musical contemporáneo interpretativo, respaldado por la asimilación de preceptos estilísticos discernidos durante la investigación. Además, se propone una perspectiva analítica tanto para los instrumentistas como para el público en general. El propósito es proporcionar un marco conceptual que facilite la profundización en conocimientos y criterios musicales, ofreciendo una herramienta valiosa para la apreciación musical desde diversos ángulos. Este artículo no solo pretende ser un análisis exhaustivo, sino también se presenta como un punto de partida para una discusión más amplia sobre el papel crucial de la interpretación musical en la apreciación estética y filosófica de las obras seleccionadas. Aspira a proporcionar un enfoque comprensivo que abarque aspectos técnicos, estilísticos y emocionales, brindando así una experiencia musical enriquecedora y completa para aquellos que se sumergen en estas obras.
About the nutrition of Cleroclytus semirufus Kraatz, 1884 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) with the exudate of the Fire blight of fruit crops

For the first time, of the xylophage pest the longhorn beetle, Cleroclytus semirufus Kraatz, 1884 is noted to feed on the exudate of the bacterium Erwinia amylovora (Burrill, 1882) Winslow et al., 1920, the causative agent of a dangerous quarantine disease - fire blight of fruit crops. Feeding cases of beetles on the bacterial exudate of E. amylovora accounted for 36% of the total number of observations on the feeding of adults of this species. Possible routes of transmission of E. amylovora by longhorn beetles C. semirufus are considered. Infestation by larvae of C. semirufus was noted to a greater extent on apple trees infected with fire blight of fruit crops (77% of the total number of examined trees), since females of longhorn beetles prefer trees weakened for various reasons for laying eggs. Beetles C. semirufus, by transferring the fire blight of fruit crops to healthy trees, and thereby weakening them, form more favorable conditions for his reproduction. In turn, adults emerging from infested trees also transmit E. amylovora by carrying spores on the body, or by feeding on exudate, or both. That is, a typical infectious disease system "Donor-vector-recipient" is formed. The longhorn beetles is widely distributed in the zone of intensive fruit growing in Kazakhstan (in the South and South-East), and is a wide polyphage capable of transferring E. amylovora not only to the apple tree, but also to other fruit trees. Therefore, further study and monitoring of the population of this and other stem pests as a vector of fire blight of fruit crops is required. In addition, measures to control their numbers are not sufficiently developed.

The general public frequently uses taxis as local transportation to get from one location to another. Ride-hailing is an innovation in taxi services that lets customers use their smartphones to find drivers, find prices, and submit requests. The two parts of ride-hailing are vehicle assignment and rebalancing. The task of the assignment is to allocate resources as efficiently as possible to fulfil demand. Demand and supply in the area are brought into balance through the rebalancing process. The rebalancing step is frequently carried out independently of the assignment process in ride-hailing pickup systems. However, it can be integrated into a single optimization process to improve system performance. The linear programming approach can integrate assignment and rebalancing. The batch assignment is an assignment algorithm in which each supply and demand is collected within a specific time window. The assignment is done after the vehicles and requests are collected. Fuzzy linear programming is used to deal with environmental uncertainty. Uncertain demand can reduce the reliability of ride-hailing pickup systems in addressing the problem of allocating empty vehicles to areas of high demand. The pickup time may change over time due to traffic conditions. Assignment integration and rebalancing modelling with fuzzy parameters are carried out to obtain a ride-hailing pickup system model that can handle demand uncertainty, pickup travel time, and travel delay times and increase the ride-hailing effectiveness of the pickup system. Numerical simulations were carried out on the assignment and rebalancing integration model without and with uncertainty parameters—numerical simulations based on publicly available taxi travel request data. The model selection for the ride-hailing system can be determined based on the numerical simulation results. This research can potentially advance and expand knowledge, especially in transportation.
