MODELLING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RETAIL DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC INDICATORS IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Authors: Bilovodska Olena , Ivanchenko Kostiantyn
Published: April 2024

Abstract. The modern global market requires extraordinary attention to the development of retail trade, which is not only the face of the economy of countries, but also plays a key role in promoting their economic prosperity. In this context, understanding the relationship between retail development indicators and indicators of the state of the economy is necessary given the importance of retail trade as one of the key elements of economic systems and is an important task for scientists and economists. Highlighting the relationship between retail trade and the state of the economy of European countries opens up opportunities for understanding and predicting economic and social trends on the path of Ukraine's accession to the EU, and promotes entrepreneurship. This study aims to model the relationship and establish statistically significant dependencies between the development of retail trade and the economic development of European countries, and to identify indicators that have an impact on the development of the industry. The study established a statistically significant impact of economic growth characteristics on the development of the retail trade industry in European countries in 2005-2022. In particular, it has been determined that the volume of trade turnover depends on such indicators as GDP per capita, consumer inflation and unemployment in the economy. The number of retailers is influenced by the volume of high-tech exports and the Gini index, which measures income inequality in the country. The number of employees in the industry depends on consumer inflation, unemployment and the Gini index. The share of income that is invested in the operating activities of the industry's enterprises depends on the level of consumer inflation, unemployment, the share of research and development expenditures in GDP and GDP per capita. GDP per capita has the strongest positive effect on turnover and consumer inflation on turnover. The unemployment rate has the strongest negative impact on turnover and the number of employees in the industry. The study confirmed the hypothesis about the positive impact of economic development on the retail industry in European countries. An economic system that promotes investment in research and development, aims to reduce unemployment and increase economic efficiency, plays a key role in the development of the retail industry in European countries. Given this, future research should focus on other factors that may influence the development of the retail industry in order to better understand the processes taking place in this area and to develop more accurate and effective strategies to promote its sustainable growth.

Political economy of music in the digital age
Authors: Morán-Reyes Ariel Antonio
Published: April 2024

This paper seeks to unravel and understand the conditions and ways in which cultural capitalism operates that drive its production, exchange, distribution and consumption in the digital age; as well as understanding the powers that hold it and those it serves, the circuits in which it is heard, the spaces in which it is prohibited, its context and historical transformations. Music as an artistic production and symbolic object has always been linked to its characteristic instruments and technologies of its time. But when the economy catches up with it and it becomes merchandise, other means and channels are put into play for its dissemination, storage and control. It seeks to demonstrate those stealthy operations with which intermediaries operate. An analysis is made regarding the logic of consumption and production of users, on power relations and asymmetries between some actors in the music industry.

Peran Pemerintah Dalam Mengatur Tataniaga Garam: Dominansi Political Will atau Economic Interest? Sebuah Tinjauan Actor-Network Theory
Authors: Mumtazah Al’Amani Yasmin , Anggono Alexander , Tarjo
Published: April 2024

Conflicting interests among parties involved in the salt commodity trade create challenges. This study employs qualitative methods to investigate the interactions between human and non-human actors. The primary data used in this study was collected through in-depth interviews with relevant parties. Additionally, the triangulation method utilizes secondary data from statistical sources such as the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), related Ministries, and regulations issued by related Ministries. The results indicate that the government's efforts to regulate salt trading have primarily focused on regulations and policies related to production, distribution, and imports. However, the government has not been extensively involved in regulating market players, which include salt farmers, landowners, middlemen or trade intermediaries, consumers (including the salt processing industry and salt user industries), and salt importers. According to the perspective of actor-network theory, the government plays a significant role in organizing the interaction of actors in the salt trade. However, the existence of competing interest in the salt trade illustrates that the actors involved have systematically gathered in a network based on their economic interests.

MIR genes are genes that give rise to microRNAs (miRNAs), which are small RNAs that regulate key developmental processes such as flowering and embryogenesis. Little is known about its role in the formation of gametes, seeds and fruits. This work demonstrates that the activity of the promoter of the MIR867 gene has a specific expression pattern in male tissue during flower development. Using two T-DNA insertional mutants, a reduction in fruit size (siliques) in length and thickness, and semi-sterility phenotype was demonstrated. To find the cellular reason for the semi-sterility, the Alexander staining technique of pollen grains was used observing that there is defective pollen in the mutant lines. This study is the first report that relates the MIR gene with fruit formation and semi-sterility if seeds in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

The significance of detecting network traffic anomalies in cybersecurity cannot be overstated, especially given the increasing frequency and complexity of computer network attacks. As new Internet-related technologies emerge, so do more intricate attacks. One particularly daunting challenge is represented by dictionary-based brute-force attacks, which require effective real- time detection and mitigation methods. In this paper, we investigate Secure Shell or Secure Socket Shell, is a network protocol that gives users, particularly system administrators, a secure way to access a computer over an unsecured network(SSH)and File Transfer Protocol is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of files from one host to another over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet (FTP) brute-force attack detection by using Our research focuses on using the machine learning approach to detect SSH and FTP brute-force attacks. A reasonably thorough investigation of machine learners' efficacy in identifying brute force assaults on SSH and FTP is made possible by employing several classifiers. Brute-force assaults are a popular and risky method of obtaining usernames and passwords. Applying ethical hacking is an excellent technique to examine the effects of a brute-force assault. This article discusses many defense strategies and approaches to using brute-force assaults. The pros and cons of several defense strategies are enumerated, along with information on which kind of assault is easiest to identify. we made use of machine learning classifiers: Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, we determined that the Random Forest algorithm achieved the highest level with an accuracy the contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility of training and evaluating basic Random Forest models with two independent variables to classify CSE-CIC-IDS2018 dataset.

Authors: Al-Nayyef Huda
Published: April 2024

Many studies during the last decade tried to provide an automatic technique for facial recognition and identification challenge especially in security systems. In this study, we suggested two methods for student attendance problem based on image processing and machine learning algorithms. The first method uses Haar cascade classifier with the Local Binary Patterns Histograms (LBPH) model and the second method composed from Histograms of Oriented Gradient (HoG) followed by the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. Both methods take a collection of random student images taken from low quality sources as input. A set of image processing filters are first applied on images to enhance the method of extracting the face boundary. Then, each model will be trained using random images from student dataset. The trained model is tested using testing set. The results showed that the method that employ CNN model with HoG provides high accuracy value of 98.44%. While, the accuracy of LBPH model with Haar Cascade classifier is 95.63%.
Review of Collective Decision Making in Swarm Robotics

Published: April 2024

Swarm robotics is a distinctive type of multi-robotic system that relies on local communication among the swarm members to generate a desired global behaviour. This implies a lack of global information, requiring robots to sense and communicate using sensors and actuators located on their bodies. Consequently, the robots within the swarm must leverage collective intelligence to solve the problem at hand, as no individual robot can accomplish the task independently. This article provides an overview of swarm robotics in general, highlighting its characteristics that distinguish it from other multi-robotic systems and simultaneously serve as motivation to adopt a swarm robotics approach. A closer examination of collective decision making within swarm robotics and its design problem also provided, classifying design methods into manual design and automatic approaches. The most commonly used automatic approaches to design collective decision making in swarm robotics are explained, along with a mention of the benefits and drawbacks of such approaches. However, this review does not cover aspects such as the swarm collective behaviours – except collective decision making – and the swarm robotics tasks.

Authors: Alhajim Dhafer , Salman FAHAMA Hassoon , T.A Mohammed
Published: April 2024

The modern world is full of data of all kinds; however, the vast amount of video and image data available provides the data set needed for facial recognition. Facial recognition is crucial in safety and surveillance systems that analyze visual data and millions of images. Using facial recognition software, a person's identity can be verified through a variety of media images. For facial recognition, there is a variety of algorithms available. The article presents an approach to a face recognition framework using Haar Cascade, a biometric technology in safety and surveillance systems. It investigates combining standard machine learning techniques for face detection and identification with Raspberry Pi face detection, a cost-effective and easy-to-use embedded system. The system detects faces from indirect and direct images, achieving high speed using the latest Raspberry Pi 4 and Python libraries. The work demonstrates a machine-learning-based design method and a complete embedded system. The face detection accuracy is 92%, and the average time is 0.35 compared to the local binary model (LBP). Many facial recognition algorithms on the web and in literature reviews are vulnerable to image attacks. These methods are very effective in identifying faces in webcams, video streams, images, and videos. This system's use of the Raspberry Pi 4 and advanced Python libraries results in fast and accurate real-time face detection. This paper extends the work first presented at the 12th Iranian/Second International Conference on Machine Vision and Image Processing (MVIP).

Regulating Emotion: Burial and Mourning of Children in Early Modern Ashkenaz
Authors: Kaplan Debra
Published: April 2024

Abstract: This article addresses a lacuna in scholarship: the burial and mourning rites for premodern Jewish children's deaths. I explore three genres of sources from western and central Europe: bylaws, custom books, and epitaphs. I argue that communal leaders regulated the process of grieving one's children, marking those deaths in ways that are different from how an adult is memorialized. Nevertheless, by creating additional rites or by permitting parents to circumvent certain norms, communal leaders acknowledged and even facilitated more intense expressions of parental loss.
"The Last Act in the Tragedy of Judaism": Stalinist Antisemitism, the American Jewish Committee, and French Holocaust Memory in the Cold War
Authors: Kuby Emma
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Beginning in 1952, the New York-based American Jewish Committee (AJC) spearheaded a transatlantic effort to stigmatize Stalinist antisemitism through direct historical comparison with the recent Nazi genocide of European Jewry. In France, home to the AJC's European headquarters, the project of tarring Stalin with Hitler's brush spurred an unprecedented flood of discourse about the Holocaust. However, the narrative that emerged among participating French intellectuals—Jewish and non-Jewish—elided the genocide's Western European dimensions. This article analyzes the AJC's French-language journal Évidences comparatively alongside its American sister journal, Commentary , and contextually against documentation from the AJC archives in order to argue that the politics of the early Cold War did not simply impede Holocaust memory in the West; rather, anti-totalitarian projects produced framings of the genocide that relied on and replicated the Cold War's own temporal and geographic logics.

Authors: Hammude Mediha , Bahşi Nermin
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this research is to find out how Syrians with temporary protection status in Turkey live and work, as well as how they are treated in the agriculture industry, from the point of view of Syrians. The study used a survey-based approach to collect primary data from 210 Syrian asylum seekers residing in Hatay province, which hosts a substantial population of Syrian refugees, accounting for 18% of the province's total population. The researchers employed the Simple Random Sampling Method to select the participants, ensuring a representative sample from the overall Syrian refugee population in the region. While a notable proportion of respondents (37%) reported having no major problems at their workplaces, a substantial portion (44%) faced significant challenges. These challenges encompassed issues such as low wages, heavy workloads, language barriers hindering communication, social exclusion, and a lack of access to social security benefits. The research brought attention to the vulnerable position of Syrian refugees in the labor market and the need for comprehensive measures to improve their working conditions and overall well-being.

The paper deals with the experimental and theoretical study of the interaction of quasi-two-dimensional MoS2 films with nitrogen and oxygen plasmas in order to reveal the main mechanisms of their surface functionalization and to analyze its effects on the structure and properties of the films. Diagnostics of samples before and after treatment with radicals and ions was performed ex situ by Raman spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results of the experimental study showed that nitrogen and oxygen plasma treatment of ultrathin MoS2 films leads to the modification of the near-surface layers of the samples due to the removal of sulfur and the incorporation of incident atoms into forming vacancies. Nitrogen and oxygen ions with even low (less than 30 eV) energy causes partial removal of upper layers of the films leading to their partial destruction, while remote plasma (mainly by thermal radicals) guarantees more ‘soft’ treatment of films. The obtained spectroscopic data also indicated different effects of radicals (thermal O and N atoms) on the MoS2 surface. To analyze these effects, the computer modelling with density functional theory method was carried out. Its results enables to reveal the main mechanisms of the surface functionalization of MoS2 monolayers and to explain the experimental data.

Calculated and experimental mass spectra (at temperatures region of 1600 – 2000 K) of gaseous alkaline earth metals tungstates: MgWO4(g), CaWO4(g), SrWO4(g), BaWO4(g) are given. The partial vapor pressures are determined and the equations for the temperature dependences of the partial pressures of gaseous molecules of alkaline earth metals tungstates were derived for liquid in the form (Р, atm): lgP(MgWO4(L)) = –28737/Т + 7,95 for the area 1600 – 1900 K; lgP(CaWO4(L)) = – 25265/Т + 6,913 for the area 1850 – 2000 K; lgP(SrWO4(L)) = – 25052/Т + 7,13 for the area 1800 – 1900 K; lgP(BaWO4(L)) = –20570/Т + 4,58 for the area 1770 – 1900 K. Based on experimental data on vapor pressure, the enthalpies of evaporation (DН0s,0), formation (–DН0f,0) and atomization (DН0at,0) of gaseous alkaline earth metals tungstates were calculated, which respectively amounted to (DН0, kJ/mol): MgWO4 — 652, 890, 2855; CaWO4 — 644, 974, 2968; SrWO4 — 615, 1045, 3056; BaWO4 — 548, 1045, 3095. The enthalpy of sublimation of alkaline earth metals tungstates decreases from magnesium to barium.

Changes in the phase composition and porosity of plasma-sprayed Al2O3 ceramics before and after its treatment by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) were studied. The treatment was carried out using a HIP unit with a graphite resistance heater in an argon atmosphere at a temperature of 1600 °C at a gas static pressure of 200 MPa for 3 hours. The phase composition of the material was determined by quantitative phase analysis. The porosity of ceramics was determined by X-ray computed tomography. It was found that immediately after the end of plasma spraying, the ceramic material contained a set of α, γ, and δ modifications of Al2O3, which differed in density and type of crystal lattice. The total porosity of the ceramics was 18.9 vol. %. After HIP, the phase composition of the plasma-sprayed ceramics changed. The metastable phase modifications γ and δ-Al2O3 disappeared, and the stable modification α-Al2O3 occupied the entire volume of the ceramic material. The total porosity of the ceramics decreased to 9.7 vol. %. The obtained results do not coincide with the literature data, which states that HIP of pressed ceramic samples from α-Al2O3 (corundum) at a temperature of 1300 – 1350 °С and a gas-static pressure of 150 MPa for 30 minutes leads to an increase in the density of these samples to values of more than 98 % on their theoretical density i.e. up to porosity values less than 2 %. The results of this study showed that HIP of plasma-sprayed samples of ceramics from pure alumina in the more severe above-mentioned regime (temperature 1600 °С, gas-static pressure 200 MPa, holding time 3 hours), although it leads to a 2-fold decrease in the porosity of these samples compared to the initial value, but still the value of the porosity of ceramics remains more than 9 %. According to the authors, the reasons for these discrepancies can be associated with polymorphic transformations of aluminum oxide occurring in the material of plasma-sprayed ceramic samples during their heating and accompanying these transformations with changes in the density and volume of the ceramic material, which affects its porosity.

Objetivo. Caracterizar un brote de infección o colonización por Acinetobacter baumannii. Materiales y métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de 37 pacientes con diagnóstico de infección o colonización por A. baumannii hecho por cultivo positivo para dicho germen, entre enero de 2009 y diciembre de 2010. Los pacientes fueron caracterizados sociodemográfica y clínicamente. Se describió la frecuencia de potenciales factores de riesgo para infección o colonización por A. baumannii. Resultados. El 86 % de los pacientes presentó algún tipo de farmacorresistencia múltiple, siendo la más común la extendida a los carbapenems. Los potenciales factores de riesgo para infección o colonización más frecuentemente encontrados, fueron procedimientos invasivos (100 %), hospitalización en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (89,2 %), estancia hospitalaria prolongada (75,6 %), infección previa por otro microorganismo (51,4 %) y desnutrición (40,5 %). En cuanto a los potenciales factores de riesgo para desenlace fatal, se encontraron choque séptico (72,2 %), aislamientos con farmacorresistencia múltiple (86 %) y más de un aislamiento de A. baumannii. Conclusiones. Los principales hallazgos de este trabajo fueron la presencia de farmacorresistencia múltiple y de potenciales factores de riesgo para infección o colonización por A. baumannii en la población estudiada. La mortalidad fue de 48,4 %, principalmente por choque séptico (72,2 %), similar a lo descrito por otros autores. Las estrategias de reforzamiento de la limpieza y desinfección, especialmente la higiene de manos, han demostrado ser medidas efectivas para la prevención y el control de brotes por A. baumannii, por lo cual se recomienda la implementación y el estricto cumplimiento de dichas estrategias en el medio hospitalario.
Tratamiento quirúrgico de tumores del estroma gástrico: ¿es mejor el abordaje laparoscópico?
Authors: Correa Juan C. , Morales Carlos H. , Sanabria Álvaro
Published: April 2024

Introducción. La cirugía abierta ha sido el abordaje quirúrgico estándar para los tumores del estroma gástrico (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors, GIST). En artículos recientes se propone la cirugía laparoscópica como una alternativa segura para su tratamiento. Se hizo una evaluación de las publicaciones disponibles en las que se comparaban la seguridad y la efectividad de la cirugía laparoscópica con las de la cirugía abierta, en aspectos como tiempo quirúrgico, estancia hospitalaria, complicaciones y recurrencia tumoral.

Materiales y métodos. Se hizo una búsqueda sistemática de la literatura y se evaluaron los artículos de más altacalidad según los criterios del Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA. Se siguió la metodología del Best Evidence Topic (BestBET).

Resultados Se encontraron tres revisiones sistemáticas de estudios observacionales. No hay a la fecha ensayos clínicos aleatorios. Los pacientes sometidos a laparoscopia presentan menor tiempo de reinicio de la vía oral y de estancia hospitalaria, y menor número de complicaciones globales y complicaciones menores. En comparación con la cirugía abierta, no hay diferencia con respecto a la pérdida sanguínea y el tiempo quirúrgico. Tampoco hay diferencia en tiempo de recurrencia y supervivencia libre de enfermedad.

Conclusión. La evidencia a partir de estudios no aleatorios sugiere que la resección laparoscópica de los GIST gástricos es tan segura y efectiva como la vía abierta. La aplicabilidad de las técnicas quirúrgicas laparoscópicas se basa en una serie de factores que comprenden características del paciente, tamaño del tumor, localización, invasión y la experiencia del grupo quirúrgico en el abordaje laparoscópico.

Nutrition problems in developing countries, including Indonesia, show an increasing trend, one of which is the problem of stunting. Stunting is a nutritional problem caused by a long-term lack of nutritional intake during the first 1000 days of life, which is a critical period. Resulting in growth disorders in children. The high incidence of stunting is a concern for the government. Some of the causes of stunting itself are a lack of intake that is absorbed by the body from the time it is in the womb until after birth, lack of access to health services, lack of access to clean water and sanitation. Therefore, efforts need to be made to prevent stunting by improving diet and parenting patterns and sanitation. The aim of this community service is to increase mothers' knowledge about the importance of providing balanced nutritional and food intake for their children to prevent stunting. This activity is carried out by providing education with leaflets to mothers of toddlers about Balanced Nutrition. This counseling was carried out at Posyandu Puspa Indah, Nabire Regency. Which was attended by 13 mothers. The results of the counseling showed that mothers of toddlers understood the material provided. It is hoped that further counseling will focus on the growth and development of babies and toddlers.
