Published: August 2023

It was established the presence of boom system oscillations in the process of changing the departure into previous studies of the optimization of the movement mode of the manipulator on an elastic base according to the criterion of the root mean square value of the driving moment of the drive. The purpose of the presented article is to solve the problem of reducing these fluctuations to a minimum. In this work, optimization was performed, where as a criterion for optimizing the motion mode of the boom system of the manipulator, it is proposed to use the root mean square value of the speed of change of the driving torque of the drive. Since this amount of power load is the main external factor of the occurrence of oscillations in the elements of the boom system of the manipulator. The driving torque of the drive was find from the dynamic equations of motion of the manipulator. The rate of change of the driving torque it was define as the time derivative of the driving torque expression by the drive. Such a criterion for optimizing the traffic mode is an integral functional. Its minimization it was carry out by methods of variational calculus.

The results of the conducted research made it possible is significantly reduce the oscillations of the elements of the boom system of the manipulator on an elastic basis during the movement in comparison with the criterion of the root mean square moment. As result, to create a drive control system that allows to implement the obtained optimal mode of movement.

Published: August 2023

A feature of the russia's war against Ukraine is the huge number of casualties among the civilian population in the first months of the war.

The insufficient number of protective structures (storages, anti-radiation shelters, dual-purpose structures), their technical condition and availability, as well as recommendations for sheltering the population in the simplest shelters – basements of residential buildings  – lead to mass casualties among the civilian population.

The definition of the term "simplest shelter" does not provide for the protection of the population from the effects of the means of destruction, but only the reduction of their effects. According to the definition of regulatory documents, only a part (more or less than half of its height) of basement and basement premises is located below the surface of the ground and, accordingly, these premises are as vulnerable as the above-ground floors.

Normative documents on the protection of the civilian population, which became the basis of the state building regulations of Ukraine in 1997, were developed in the middle of the 20th century, and the changes that were made in 25 years did not change the parameters and equipment of protective structures.

The main goal of the study is to development of measures that provide an opportunity to ensure full protection of the civilian population not involved in the work of critical infrastructure.

The set goal outlined a list of research tasks, namely, reducing the number of victims among the civilian population by adapting the existing basements of multi-story buildings for shelter to protect the population from the effects of conventional means of destruction and the side effects of modern weapons of mass destruction (chemical); fragments of destroyed building structures; of an air shock wave with an estimated excess pressure of not less than ∆Pф =20 kPa (0.2 kg/cm²)

Specialists of the "Renaissance" NGO proposed project solutions for creating shelters in the basements of existing residential buildings by strengthening the structures enclosing the basements.

The listed measures enable the residents of houses living in cities on the territory controlled by Ukraine, but under constant rocket fire, to stay in their houses and rest at night in a protected space.
Interaction of engineering protective structures with the soil base in densely built-up territory
Authors: Ruchkivskyi Vitaliy
Published: August 2023

The article analyzes the operation of the "engineering protective structures-soil massif" system in the zone of influence of the surrounding buildings in the presence of complex engineering and geological conditions. Simulation of the task of setting up a deep pit under the protection with a multi-tiered retaining wall was carried out. The mutual influence of the surrounding buildings and the development of the pit near the new construction, depending on the distance between them, was revealed. The optimal distance between the existing building and the pit of the new construction was determined.

It has been established that taking into account the influence of existing buildings when constructing a pit significantly changes the nature of the stress-deformation state of the soil base and pit enclosure structures, increasing the movement of supporting structures by 12-72% depending on the distance to the house.

It was found that the bending moments in the structure of the fence undergo quantitative and qualitative changes when the distance between the pit and the existing building is reduced. Thus, values of bending moments in piles increase by 25% when the distance is reduced from 20m to 10m, and by 46% when the distance is reduced from 10m to 5m.

It is shown that reducing the distance between the existing building and the pit leads to the occurrence of additional settlements in the foundation structures of the existing building. Thus, vertical deformations when the house is located at a distance of 5 m increase by 35%, compared to a house at a distance of 20 m, which is explained by the building falling into the zone of formation of the slope sliding surface.

It was found that the most rational location of the existing building is in the case when the pit depth is equal to the distance between the house and the face of the pit enclosure structure, since the building does not fall into the zone of influence of the new construction.
The adoption of social media tools for enhancing small and medium enterprises' performance: A synthesis of innovation of diffusion and technology-organisation-environment frameworks
Authors: Mataruka Leo T. , Muzurura Joe
Published: August 2023

This study examines the utilisation of social media as a means to enhance business performance within the Harare Metropolitan Province of Zimbabwe. The study employs a cross-sectional research methodology to collect data, using an online survey, from 938 business owners or senior managers of small-and-medium-sized multi-industry enterprises. The researchers implemented strategies to mitigate biases and safeguard the confidentiality and anonymity of participants. SmartPLS 4.0 software enabled data analysis and the application of the partial least squares approach to identify relationships among measurement components. The utilisation of structural equation modelling was employed to conduct hypothesis testing. The study's theoretical basis was grounded in the joint technology-organisation-environment framework and innovation diffusion theory. This study investigates the technological aspects of relative benefit, presence qualities, visibility, linkages, and interactivity. Senior management support is crucial in determining a company's stance on social media, especially in smaller corporate units with interdependent decision-making roles for operations and innovation. The impact of social media adoption, antecedents, and technological and organisational factors on business performance was insignificant. Our empirical study demonstrates that external pressure and environmental uncertainty significantly influence small and medium enterprises' adoption of social media in the multi-industrial urban centre district of Harare, Zimbabwe. The study concludes that there is no significant impact on the business performance of small and medium enterprises in Zimbabwe due to adopting social media. The presence of a well-established information technology communication infrastructure in this district may contribute to the adoption of social media, primarily due to its easy accessibility rather than actual usage. This study contributed to the validation of a nomological framework through the utilisation of latent constructs. Future research should consider conducting longitudinal studies.

Published: August 2023

According to Zakir Naik, although Islam is a teaching that has been practiced since-14 centuries ago, the concept of equality offered is still relevant to be practiced today. Zakir Naik said; the idea of gender equality, which has been popularized by the West recently, is something new and out of their practice in the past. In contrast to the concept of Islam which always spreads the value of equality in various conditions and opportunities. This article belongs to literature research with a qualitative approach. The methodology used is a descriptive analysis study of Zakir Naik's work. The study results conclude that Zakir Naik disagrees with the concept of gender equality promoted by the West, which is considered liberal and uncontrollable. The idea of gender equality offered by Islam is how the rights and obligations between men and women remain balanced according to their respective functions and roles as long as they do not violate Islamic law and ethics.
LEGAL POLITICS CONCERNING THE FULFILLMENT OF LGBT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS IN THE INDONESIAN LEGAL APPROACH
Authors: Mahardika Ahmad Gelora
Published: August 2023

Article 28 E paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that everyone has the right to believe in beliefs and express thoughts and attitudes according to his conscience. These provisions are the basis that no one can judge his choices and attitudes. On the other hand, LGBT, as a minority group in Indonesia, often receive unpleasant treatment for their sexual orientation. Referring to WHO data, LGBT cannot categorize as a genetic and natural disease. As a legal state that upholds human rights, the state should protect LGBT people. Such protection can carry out through appropriate legal politics by forming several regulations that allow LGBT people to get the same constitutional rights as others. This policy is essential to manifest the state's presence towards all community groups without exception. Based on these things, this article aims to answer the question of the proper legal policy to provide human rights protection for LGBT groups in Indonesia. The research method used in this article is normative juridical. This article hypothesizes that the correct political law will allow LGBT groups to obtain the same rights as other people.

Flipped learning model in the course «Culture of Oral and Written English»
Authors: Melnyk Alla
Published: August 2023

It has been сreated a course «Culture of Oral and Written English» with the implementation of blended learning, which makes it possible to form professionally oriented communicative competence of students enrolled in the master’s programme. It has been considered micro-, meso- and macro-levels of course introduction and function. It is argued that the practical implementation of the blended learning (henceforth BL) technology is the organization of educational process within the course «Culture of Oral and Written English», where face-to-face interaction (traditional learning) in the classroom is supplemented by distance learning in the web environment and independent learning that includes classroom independent work, during which problem-based tasks are performed, as well as extracurricular asynchronous, synchronous, asynchronous-synchronous independent work through the Microsoft Teams application and the chatbot СhatGPT. The course implementation context is described with the information on the conditions, curriculum and the need for it in the master’s program. It is outlined the way of developing the course, which includes its structure and specific tasks. It has been elaborated the tasks for the formation of professionally oriented speech competence in writing as a subcompetence of professionally oriented communicative competence of prospective English university teachers. It has been inferred that the peculiarities and technological advantages of the BL technology are due to the active use of the flipped learning (FL) model that inverses the methods of traditional teaching, implements the material presentation outside the educational institution and determines practical cooperation in the classroom as a leading form of learning activities organization. The value of the FL model is the ability to regulate students’ independent learning, which they carry out individually or together in pairs/mini-groups, and classroom learning for group classes, where students can check their understanding and correct comprehension of the topic content, exchange opinions, debate, and the teacher becomes a facilitator, who directs the work of the whole group and each student towards their individual learning trajectory. Different types of prospective teachers’ independent work for their skills development in writing texts of academic genres (articles and essays) are demonstrated on the example of tasks for the development of English professionally oriented speech competence in writing.

Authors: Swyrydjuk Vira
Published: August 2023

Exercises and tasks serve as learning tools for modeling a foreign language environment, a motive for communication, and a tool for improving cognitive-communicative and metacognitive learning strategies. The article deals with the methodical features of compiling a system of exercises and tasks for mastering the German language in the context of intercultural communication. The article considers a system of exercises and tasks for the formation of intercultural foreign language communicative competence of future teachers during self-study work. An analysis of the specialized literature was carried out, which became the basis for the theoretical justification of the developing and use of exercises and tasks for the formation of a cultural secondary language personality. The generalized system covers all types of speech activities and contains communicative, semi-communicative and non-communicative exercises of a receptive, reproductive and productive nature, with the aim of forming and developing language and speech foreign language skills and abilities, which are based on the intercultural aspect. The author gives a number of examples of exercises according to the determined levels of mastering German-language material, namely receptive, reproductive-productive and creative. The criteria for developing exercises have been specified: focus on receiving or issuing information; communicativeness; motivation; level of action management; presence/absence of a game component; presence/absence of visual and illustrative supports; method of performing the exercise; cultural and emotional orientation of exercises. The system of exercises consists of subsystems, the goals of which are aimed at mastering the German language skills and abilities in listening, speaking, reading and writing. The specifics of using the acquired information for oral and written communication were studied. The article describes in detail the course of foreign language activities to ensure the consistent use of foreign language information for the purpose of acquiring cultural, linguistic, sociocultural knowledge and developing skills and abilities of intercultural communication. Special attention is given to the intercultural aspect of the content, the manifestation of which is the language and speech material, the communicative behavior of interlocutors during the intercultural communication. Interactive, innovative technologies and teaching methods are proposed for the effective application of exercises in order to optimize the educational process of future teachers during independent work.

Edutainment as a Modern English Teaching Technique: a Case Study of Lingua-Socio-Cultural Competence Development of Students Majoring in Interpreting and Translation
Authors: Korohoda Т.
Published: August 2023

The vast majority of present-day students belong to the so-called digital generation, which can be characterized by a number of unique cognitive features formed as a result of the extensive use of digital gadgets and modern technology. New means of interacting with reality and new strategies of cognitive information processing have created a demand for updating the repertoire of traditional teaching techniques. The edutainment technique has the capacity to satisfy this demand. Purpose. This article aims to provide a case study of applying the edutainment technique to develop lingua-socio-cultural competence of the students majoring in interpreting and translation. Methods. The article reviews recent advances in the edutainment technique implementation. The author analyzes the results of the practical application of this technique during English lessons. Results. The case study has shown that the application of the edutainment technique increases the students’ interest in the topic and motivation to study, boosts attention span through the activation of the emotional sphere, and improves the satisfaction from learning. Edutainment also facilitates understanding of complicated, culturally specific topics, helping to develop lingua-socio-cultural competence. While using the edutainment technique, it may be necessary for the teacher to perform the function of an edutainer, i.e., not only provide explanations of cultural contexts but engage students in them. Conclusion. The edutainment technique is beneficial for both the student and the teacher. This technique, by design, satisfies the cognitive preferences of the digital generation as well as the technological requirements of long-distance education, which, after the onset of the pandemic and the war, has become the norm in Ukraine.

Os autores discutem os resultados do tratamento com o esquema CHOP-BLEO em 146 casos de linfomas "agressivos" Houve 56,2% de remissão completa. Sendo fatores importantes no prognóstico a histologia, estádio e presença de sintomas. Já para aparecimento de recidiva foram importantes apenas a presença de sintomas e tumor abdominal maior que 10cm. A sobrevida de 5 anos foi de 35% e quatro fatores foram influentes aqui: a idade, tratamento prévio e presença de tumor abdominal e, principalmente, obtenção de remissão completa. A toxicidade foi moderada, com apenas 1 (um) óbito. Os autores concluem que os resultados obtidos são semelhantes aos de outros centros e que se podem discriminar pelo menos quatro grupos de pacientes, que melhor estudados, poderão se beneficiar, no futuro, com esquemas diversos de tratamento.

Authors: Merlin Joseph  , Sudhesh N.T.
Published: August 2023

This study uses a correlation, quantitative approach to understand the relationship between academic stress, adjustment, and social support. International students from various colleges and universities across India participated in the study. Analysis revealed significant relationships between academic stress, academic lifestyle, academic achievement, and social support. The adjustment was categorized into academic lifestyle, academic achievement, and academic motivation. Better adjustment and quality social support systems led to a decrease in academic stress. Multiple regression analysis showed academic lifestyle as a significant predictor of perceived academic stress. The academic motivation was directly proportional to an increase in academic stress (p<0.05). We found a significant difference in students’ academic motivation based on gender. The findings of this study call for adopting a holistic approach to reduce international students’ academic stress and adjustment concerns. Also, steps to ensure social support can enrich students’ academic journey in a foreign land.

ПОНЯТТЯ «БЮДЖЕТНА БЕЗПЕКА» ТА ЇЇ ОСНОВНІ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКИ
Authors: Наконечна Наталія Володимирівна
Published: August 2023

У статті розкрито сутність поняття «бюджетна безпека» та її основні характеристики. Обґрунтовано роль фіскальної політики в досягненні бюджетної безпеки держави. Зазначено, що фіскальний стимул має тривалий вплив на виробництво за рахунок збільшення загальної пропозиції – ймовірно, за рахунок залучення більшої кількості людей до робочої сили, створення капіталу або сприяння більшій кількості інновацій і тим самим, більш швидкому зростанню продуктивності. Представлено бюджетну безпеку в системі економічної безпеки держави. Зазначено, що важливим інструментом регулювання фінансових потоків є державний бюджет України, розбалансованість якого є реальною загрозою фінансовій безпеці держави, для якої макроекономічні показники мають велике значення, оскільки, порогові значення є найважливішим інструментом для системного аналізу, прогнозування та соціально-економічного планування. Показники або кількісні параметри повинні мати статус затверджених державою, відповідність яким має стати невід'ємною частиною державних економічних програм. У сучасних умовах структурних змін та значного впливу глобалізаційних процесів зміна фінансових показників суттєво впливає на динаміку економічного розвитку країни в цілому. За таких обставин своєчасний аналіз та прогнозування показників фінансової та бюджетної безпеки України стає особливо актуальним. В умовах глобальних та трансформаційних змін однією з найважливіших економічних проблем в Україні після набуття незалежності є зростаюча загроза фінансовій та, зокрема, бюджетній безпеці України. По-перше, це пов'язано з негативними подіями в соціально-економічній сфері, зокрема з порушенням системи фінансів державних фінансів та економічних одиниць, яка зросла в останні роки і відображається на хронічному дефіциті державного бюджету. Інтегральний показник бюджетної безпеки держави є дуже важливим і займає значне місце серед показників, що визначають його фінансово-економічну безпеку держави. Це зумовлює необхідність пошуку нових методологічних підходів для визначення фактичного рівня бюджетної безпеки держави. Вплив глобальних фінансових систем на одну державу виходить на новий рівень. Бюджетна безпека – це не лише національна проблема, але й визначальна детермінанта глобальної економіки сьогодні, що формується поглибленням та взаємодією транснаціональності та міжнародної регіональної економічної інтеграції. Зважаючи на складність взаємозв’язку та взаємозалежності фіскальної безпеки до сталого економічного розвитку, вона має як внутрішні, так і зовнішні аспекти. Автори дійшли висновку, що бюджетна безпека відображає здатність держави відповідним чином реагувати на внутрішні та зовнішні негативні фінансові наслідки.

Стаття присвячена аналізу особливостей реалізації безпекових заходів в умовах впровадження воєнного стану, правове визначення якого свідчить про пріоритетність дій, спрямованих на убезпечення держави та її громадян при виникненні загроз їх існуванню. Безпека розглядається як явище об’єктивного порядку, що існує у позацивілізаційному просторі, функціонує незалежно від певного історичного сформованого суспільства, але в той же час детерміновано біосоціальною сутністю людини, що проявляє себе бінарно, тобто одночасно на рівні індивіда та особи. Дискурс стосовно сутнісних характеристик соціальної безпеки держави дає можливість ствердити, що її стан залежить від зовнішніх обставин, які можуть виникати в умовах функціонування соціуму, і до яких можна віднести обставини, за яких вводиться воєнний стан. Зроблено висновок про вплив об’єктивних потреб здійснення опору зовнішній агресії на стан безпеки у державі. Доведено, що внутрішньо-особистісні фактори зумовлюють як максимальну концентрацію зусиль особистості, так і можливі негативні психофізичні стани в умовах потерпання від фактів екзистенціального характеру, що супроводжуються значними матеріальними та людськими втратами. Зазначається, що особливе місце у системі організації діяльності держави та суспільства в умовах введення воєнного стану відводиться питанням налагодження економічної безпеки, що передусім зумовлено потребою захисту держави та її громадян, якомога більшої мобілізації матеріальних ресурсів для забезпечення нормального функціонування державного механізму для опору ворожим діям. Доведено, що активізація інформаційної боротьби в умовах проголошення воєнного стану формує спотворене бачення реального стану справ шляхом впливу на свідомість супротивника, викликає потребу заборони поширення певної інформації суспільно небезпечного характеру, призводить до внесення змін до нормативно-правових актів у напрямку врегулювання важливих питань технічної фіксації інформації, визначення відповідальності за поширення інформації, врегулювання процесуальних дій щодо вилучення інформаційних даних.

У статті проведено дослідження стану молодіжної політики в умовах викликів сучасної України. Наголошено, що сьогоднішня політична та економічна ситуація в Україні породжує нові виклики, на які держава не в змозі адекватно реагувати без залучення молоді, найперспективнішої частини суспільства. Молоде покоління забезпечує соціально-економічний розвиток країни, покращує демографічну ситуацію, розвиває науку та культури, відтворює моральні цінності суспільства, зміцнює національну безпеку держави. Розглянуто наслідки повномасштабної війни, яка почалася 24 лютого 2022 року віроломним нападом росії на Україну, та спричинила масову міграцію населення й призвела до кількамільйонних вимушених емігрантів молодих людей. Охарактеризовано вплив потоку українських біженців на робочу силу єврозони та надані можливості соціальної адаптації та інтеграції країнами для молодих людей. ЄС забезпечив швидку реакцію на наявні виклики та завдяки скоординованим діям інтегрував можливості програми Еразмус+ та доступ до освітнього онлайн контенту українських студентів. Узагальнено загрози національній безпеці, які в стратегічному сенсі несуть міграційні процеси в Україні, а саме: знижується чисельність населення та рівень народжуваності, зменшується надходження до бюджету, втрачається інтелектуальний потенціал та здорова робоча сила. Автори дійшли висновку, що динаміка повернення людей додому залежить від безпекової ситуації та тривалості воєнної агресії в Україні. Найголовнішим задля швидкого відновлення економіки та зміцнення національної безпеки є стимулювання рееміграції молоді. Молодь України потребує оновленої політики зайнятості повоєнної економіки шляхом формування законодавчої бази зі створення власного бізнес-проєкту; розвитку фінансової та інформаційної грамотності; створення робочих місць на принципах концепції гідної праці; забезпечення зростання кількості громадських активістів та публічних службовців серед молоді для реалізації молодіжної політики; підвищення рівня довіри до держави та демонстрації економічної привабливості державних програм для молодих людей.

The primary focus of this research article is to delve into the analysis of financial potential assessment methods for enterprises operating in a dynamic socio-economic environment. A key aspect of this study involves emphasizing the significance of rational formation and effective using of financial potential as a strategic resource for achieving enterprise success. The article sheds light on the importance of rational formation and efficient using of financial potential. However, assessing financial potential poses challenges due to its heterogeneous structure. To address this, a mathematical interpretation for evaluating financial potential is proposed, aiming at facilitating operational management of enterprises. This mathematical interpretation incorporates elements of set theory, which opens up new possibilities for establishing connections and interdependencies among various financial indicators. It also allows for the consideration of the complexity of factors influencing financial potential and enables its evaluation based on a comprehensive set of criteria. The research findings confirm the continuous influence of socio-economic changes on the components of financial potential. Understanding this issue is crucial for optimizing the management of an enterprise's financial potential in conditions of uncertainty. Moreover, the article explores different perspectives on classifying the elements of financial potential, encompassing both classical variants and an author's proposed classification that takes into account the impact of financial potential elements on the current state of the enterprise. This broader classification framework provides a more comprehensive understanding of the intricate nature of financial potential and its relationship with the overall performance of the enterprise. Additionally, the authors present a conceptual model for assessing changes in financial potential under the influence of fluctuations in the socio-economic environment. This model highlights the interconnectedness between financial potentials of different economic entities and underscores the importance of continuous interaction in the evaluation process. In conclusion, the importance of studying the dynamic changes in the components of financial potential for effective operational management is emphasized and the relevance of this topic for optimizing the processes of managing the financial potential of enterprise is highlighted. Hence, it serves as a basis for further research and development of new ideas in this area.
ЗАСАДИ ТВОРЧОСТІ В ОСВОЄННІ МИСТЕЦЬКОЇ ПРАКТИКИ: АСПЕКТИ ОВОЛОДІННЯ ХУДОЖНЬОЮ ГРАФІКОЮ

Метою статті є розкриття ключових аспектів освоєння мистецтва графіки, професійного оперування його виражальними засобами. Акцент ставиться на окреслення суті творчості як важливої і невід’ємної складової мистецької практики, визначенні й обґрунтуванні її місця і ролі як чинника та запоруки професійного володіння художньою графікою. Для досягнення наміченого аналізувалися графічні твори, вивчалися наукові та навчально-методичні праці з висвітленням особливостей творчої реалізації митця, зображувальної грамоти у сфері графічного мистецтва, засад оволодіння нею, специфіки роботи графіків над творчим втіленням задуманого. Констатовано, що образотворча діяльність як така базується на авторському сприйнятті світу, знаннях теорії образотворчого мистецтва, його видових, жанрових, виражальних особливостей, вправного володіння практичними уміннями і навичками у роботі зображальними матеріалами. Відтак підкреслено, що її істинна сутність розкривається лише тоді, коли ці три базові складові образотворчості реалізуються саме через призму творчості. Зосереджуючись на концепції – «без творчості мистецтва не існує, оскільки вона є його базисом, фундаментом», – автор обґрунтовує, що в образотворчому мистецтві, в тому числі і в сфері графіки реалізація теорії і практики без творчості є лиш еквівалентом «зображувального ремесла», суто «типового елементарного виконавства». Далі окреслюються ключові аспекти творчості в сфері графічної діяльності, визначається їх пряма і опосередкована роль у набутті й удосконаленні художньо-графічних умінь та навичок. Зокрема зазначено, що в кожному стилістичному напрямі виражальності графічних зображень (реалістичному, декоративному, абстрактному) творчість проявляється по-різному і має різний формат застосування. Щодо проявів творчості на рівні технічного виконання графічних робіт, то тут акцент поставлено на постійному штудіюванні теорії і практики графічного мистецтва, від початкових етапів його освоєння до удосконалення вже набутих і сформованих тут знань і навичок. Заключним стало доведення того, що відгуки й оцінки ззовні про виконану митцем роботу постають для нього дієвою спонукою і щодо самовизначення сутності свого мистецького «Я», і щодо прийняття відповідних кроків на покращення й розширення свого творчого потенціалу.
