ANALYSIS OF COMPONENT EXERGETIC EFFICIENCY CHAMBER CONVECTIVE DRYER
Authors: Spivak Oleksandr , Rezydent Natalia , Krymnyak Yaroslav
Published: August 2023

A methodology for calculating individual components of the exergy balance and the exergy coefficient of useful action for non-stationary heat and mass transfer processes, in particular drying processes, is proposed. It is shown that the analysis of the drying process by exergetic characteristics is more effective than by thermal characteristics, as it makes it possible to estimate both internal and external losses, as well as the potential of energy flows. Calculations of exergetic and thermal efficiency of the chamber convective dryer were performed on the basis of the proposed methodology. It was established that when the temperature of the incoming heat carrier changes from 5 to 35°С, the exergetic efficiency of the drying unit changes within 4...16%, while the thermal efficiency determined using heat balance equations is about 50%. It is shown that with an increase in the temperature of the surrounding environment, the exergetic efficiency of chamber drying units decreases significantly, and the thermal efficiency changes within 5%, while it increases with an increase in the temperature of the heat carrier at the input, and decreases with an increase in the temperature of the heat carrier at the outlet in such the very limits. Exergy losses in drying plants are due to losses caused by flows of substances that carry exergy out of the system, losses as a result of heat exchange at a finite temperature difference, or mass exchange at a finite concentration difference, as a result of mechanical friction and hydraulic resistance, chemical reactions in non-equilibrium conditions, reduction of the magnetic or electric field under the action of electric resistance, etc. To increase the exergy efficiency of chamber drying units, it is necessary to reduce the exergy losses in the heaters, therefore it is preferable not to use steam heaters, it is worth giving preference to electric heaters or pyrolysis boilers of indirect air heating. It is also necessary to reduce heat loss during mixing of spent and fresh heat carrier, to reduce the temperature of the incoming heat carrier.

Published: August 2023

Abstract Literary sources have been elaborated, which reveal the main topics of the discussed questions regarding the implementation of safe operation and due to which it is possible to increase the life span of buildings or structures. Literary sources on the implementation and implementation of ВIM technologies on the territory of Ukraine, ensuring reliable maintenance of buildings during the period of operation have been elaborated. Familiarity with the capabilities of application software for information control and support during all stages of the life cycle to preserve the durability of the building was conducted. Data on the period of normal operation of some of the structural elements (sewer pipes, water pipes, etc.) were processed for maintenance or replacement planning. The main factors in the operation of buildings and structures are considered: climatic characteristics, location, load and influences, which in turn have a direct impact on the service life and technical characteristics, as well as the number and frequency of planned works or repairs to maintain the normal technical condition of the building . Work was carried out on the analysis of existing practices for assessing the technical characteristics of buildings and structures, estimated determinations of residual operational resources, technical characteristics and periods of trouble-free operation. Inspection and assessment of the technical condition, causes of problems and detection of defects, announcement of possible remedial measures. It has been analyzed how important digital information is and the presentation of such data in a centralized system. One database will greatly facilitate the processes of information collection, speed up support during maintenance. All processes will improve thanks to the ability to quickly receive the necessary information for further analysis and monitoring of the object's functioning, decision-making, planning, etc. The advantages and disadvantages of the approaches were studied and a conclusion was drawn.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY: UKRAINIAN REALITIES AND PROSPECTS OF IMPLEMENTATION IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Authors: Serdyuk Vasyl
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the topical topic of the transition from a linear to a circular economy using the example of the construction industry, which is one of the largest sources of waste generation and a basis for the use of metallurgical, construction production, and thermal power plant waste.The depletion of raw and energy resources, the growth of environmental pollution necessitates the need to extend the service life of construction materials due to their processing, or their use in other technological processes. The circular economy is identified with the concept of the "circular" economy or with production with a closed cycle, zero-waste production.It is shown that the National Waste Management Plan until 2030, adopted by the CMU resolution on February 20, 2019, remains a kind of "road map", but the implementation of the measures of the National Waste Management Strategy lags behind the planned measures. It was established that almost 90% of production waste is not reused and sent to landfills. The largest reserves of unused production by-products are in the metallurgical industry and energy production waste at TPPs.For the efficiency of the functioning of the circular economy, the specific weight of environmental taxes in the GDP of European countries varies between 1.5-4%, while in Ukraine - at the level of 0.1%. Less than 5% of the total amount of fines for environmental pollution is paid, which indicates the need to reform and improve the system of taxation of harmful emissions.

Authors: Kovalskiy Victor P. , Mingjun Guo
Published: August 2023

The extensive use of deicing salt has not only solved the problem of road icing but also had a serious impact on the pavement, reducing its lifespan. In order to deeply understand the impact of deicing salt on the air voids of asphalt mixture in the northwest climate of China, this paper conducted freeze-thaw cycle tests on AC-13 and AC-16 asphalt mixtures under three different deicing salt solutions and three different low-temperature environments, and analyzed the changes in air voids, meanwhile, the Logistic prediction model was used to evaluate the change characteristics of the air voids. The experimental results showed that the air voids of asphalt mixture increased to varying degrees after multiple freeze-thaw cycles; when the temperature was above its freezing point, no frost heave damage occurred, and the air voids increased slowly; when the temperature was below the freezing point, frost heave damage occurred, causing rapid growth and connection of voids in the mixture, and the air voids increased rapidly; the Logistic model showed a good fit with the observed changes in air voids.
Oslo: Three Decades Later
Authors: Sarto Raffaella A. Del , Klein Menachem
Published: August 2023

Contrary to the commonly held belief that the 1993 Oslo Accord was a peace treaty, this article shows that it was an imbalanced interim agreement that unsurprisingly failed. Three decades later, the Israeli-Palestinian reality is marked by a massive expansion of Israel's settlement project, a gradual erasure of the Green Line, a symbiosis between Israeli security forces and the settlers, and an authoritarian and divided Palestinian leadership, with the Palestinian Authority acting as Israel's sub-contractor. Israel's regime of control also separates between Palestinian groups, with each group given a different set of limited rights. While the Oslo process had the potential to transform a predominantly ethnic struggle into a conflict over land and borders, the ramifications of the one single regime that has replaced the Oslo order cannot be underestimated. After describing these developments, the article introduces the contributions to the special issue, which add new perspectives to the still ongoing debate on the genesis, interpretation, and implications of Oslo.
The Oslo Accords and Israel–Africa Relations
Authors: Salman Yaron
Published: August 2023

Although previous studies have separately discussed the Oslo Accords and Israel–Africa relations, there has been little discussion of how and why relations between Israel and African countries evolved during the Oslo process and after its collapse. This article addresses these gaps, arguing that although the Oslo Accords did contribute to the establishment of diplomatic relations with many African countries, the contribution was minor and short-lived, and that common and national interests were more central motivations. It describes the complex nature of more recent developments in Israel-African relations and raises questions about the quality and consequences of bilateral relationships rooted mainly in national and common interests.

nodal é modal
Authors: Pacheco Ana Laura Prates
Published: August 2023

Na aula de 15 de janeiro de 1974 de O seminário, livro 21: les non-dupes errent, Lacan afirma a convergência do modal e do nodal. O objetivo deste trabalho é acompanhar as elaborações anteriores de seu ensino que permitiram tal conclusão, o que parece fundamental para a aproximação ao método borromeano e a suas implicações lógicas e linguísticas. Consideram-se as fórmulas da sexuação, presentes em O seminário, livro 20: mais ainda, como um matema de transição entre os discursos e a topologia borromeana. Essa transição é extremamente complexa, já que implica a construção de uma homologia entre a lógica e a topologia, interrogando a noção de linguagem compatível com a psicanálise. Trata-se de desenvolver a ideia de que o inconsciente é uma classe aberta e paradoxal, tal como Lacan desenvolve naquele seminário. Será preciso, portanto, acompanhar essa construção em três níveis: lógico, topológico e linguístico. Neste trabalho, será tratado apenas o nível lógico, deixando os demais para desenvolvimentos posteriores.
relações de semelhança e os acordos sociais em época de pandemia.
Authors: Portilho Juliana Labatut
Published: August 2023

A natureza trouxe aos homens a mostra de sua insubordinação e com isso colocou à prova as formas do reconhecimento, tanto individuais quanto coletivas. Nesse sentido, a proposta deste trabalho é pensar a ideia de que, a partir de 2019, houve uma nova experiência em jogo, decorrente da crise vinculada à pandemia viral, e que essa experiência é estética. A maneira como o sujeito pensa e sente determinada situação que ocorre no sensível coloca-o diante das formas do reconhecimento, e, consequentemente, do conhecimento, em uma experiência dialética entre semelhança e não semelhança. Para desenvolver essa ideia, serão consideradas as proposições lacanianas sobre identidade e identificação e algumas argumentações teóricas contemporâneas no campo da experiência estética e política
Joyce entre nós
Authors: Borges Sonia Xavier
Published: August 2023

Neste trabalho, buscamos discutir a singularidade do nó, quando se trata do caso Joyce. Lacan insiste, no seminário O sinthoma, que o imaginário é o corpo e que a imagem, ainda que confusa, que temos de nosso corpo é relativa. E em Joyce, a partir de sua autobiografia, vê asco pelo próprio corpo. Por isso, só restaria ao imaginário cair fora, deslizar como “casca de fruta madura”. O imaginário, nesse nó, “não está enodado borromeanamente ao que faz cadeia com real e inconsciente”, diz Lacan, já que Joyce não se identifica com seu corpo, não ama seu corpo. Lacan está realçando que “a ideia de si como corpo tem um peso, é precisamente o que chamamos ego”. Mas é o ego de Artista, de Joyce, que tem a função reparadora muito específica, singular, no nó Joyce. Um nó diferente do nó borromeano do neurótico e também do nó da paranoia, o nó de trevo

Scenario-based models of architecture objects for main streets
Authors: Buravchenko Serhii
Published: August 2023

The formulation of the problem - the design of main streets is problematic because their construction and reconstruction is carried out by separate objects, often without taking into account the overall composition of the street, without the need to organize orientation when moving in transport or create an aesthetic sequence.
Publications related to the composition of main and main streets mainly cover the period of their active design as integral objects and are limited to purely theoretical questions regarding visual perception. At the same time, the development of visualization makes it possible to present the scenario of opening the street in real time.
The purpose of this publication is to define and justify the scenario models of the organization of the main street based on the interpretation of art forms unfolding in time, as well as additional methods of specifying the requirements for background and accent buildings of the main streets.
The novelty of the publication lies in the interpretation of the main street as an object of scenario organization, the classification of scenarios based on prototypes, and the specification of requirements for characteristic types of second-order architectural objects - individual buildings and complexes.
Research methods are based on the analysis of the perception of the composition of the street as a whole, and individual parts, which at the same time can be objects of other spaces or "nested" urban structures.
The result of the study is the systematization of second-order architectural objects and the requirements for them related to their role in the composition of the main street.
Methodical approaches and models of architectural objects are revealed, depending on the requirements for their visual perception.
In further research, the author intends to conduct an analysis of the combination in certain spaces of requirements for the perception of traffic and pedestrians, the principles of differentiation of spaces for different conditions of use.
Features of designing building general plans
Authors: Novak Yevheniia , Sobko Yurii , Sumariuk Oleksandr
Published: August 2023

The construction master plan (contgenplan) is the general plan of the construction site, which shows all existing and planned permanent buildings and structures, as well as temporary buildings necessary for construction and assembly works. The purpose of the budget plan is to organize the construction industry on the site, which would ensure the creation of the necessary production and living conditions for workers, the reception and delivery of materials, semi-finished products and structures to the workplace, the normal operation of construction machines and mechanized installations, uninterrupted supply of water and energy resources. There are two types of construction master plan: general site and object.
The general site budget plan is drawn up during the development of the construction organization project and covers the entire territory of the urban residential massif (microdistrict, block) or cultural and household complex. The facility budget plan is part of the construction project and covers the territory related to one facility or, in some cases, to several. At the stage of the construction project, an object budget plan is developed, which specifies and details the decisions of the site-wide budget plan. The budgenplan should show: entrances and exits, unloading points, entry into dangerous areas, the construction of roads and sidewalks, their width and connection to the designed buildings.
The budget plan should show storage facilities, temporary buildings, the organization of communication lighting and dispatching of the construction site, the organization of providing the facility with electricity, water, steam, compressed air, and oxygen. Before placing mechanized equipment on the construction site, it is necessary to determine the types and number of cranes, stationary lifts, as well as their installation locations. After that, it is necessary to calculate the operating zones of the cranes, taking into account the specifics of architectural and structural solutions and the construction conditions of the facility.
ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF CONVERTING THE COORDINATES OF TURNING POINTS OF LAND PLOTS FROM THE SK-63 SYSTEM TO USK-2000 ON THEIR LINEAR PARAMETERS AND AREA
Authors: Zuska Ada , Trehub Yuliia , Yankin Oleksandr
Published: August 2023

With the introduction into use of the new state reference system USK-2000, the issue of converting the coordinates of the turning points of the boundaries of land parcels into USK-2000 arises, which is important for geodetic support of the design, construction of engineering structures, etc. The article examines the influence of the transformation parameters on the divergence of the linear parameters of the turning points from the SK-63 coordinate system to the USK-2000 system. The analysis of coordinates and linear parameters of land plots was carried out using conversion coefficients using the affine method according to formulas and compared with those calculated in the Digitals program. Regardless of the area and orientation of the land plot, the sum of increments of its coordinates is equal to zero in the SK-63 and USK- 2000 systems, while the area discrepancy depends on the size of the land plot. To clarify the actual area of a land plot on the physical surface of the Earth, which has a boundary length of more than 500 m, it is necessary to reduce to the reference surface the reference ellipsoid and the Gauss-Kruger projection plane. if the site was connected to the points of the state network. 

The relevance of the work is to determine the influence of the transformation of the coordinates of the turning points of land plots in the USK-2000 system on linear parameters (coordinate increments, lengths between the turning points of borders) and the area of small land plots. 

The goal of the work. Analyze the discrepancy of linear parameters and the area of land plots after converting the coordinates of turning points from the SK-63 system to the USK-2000 system in the Digitals program and by the affine method using formulas on specific examples. Research results can be taken into account when considering the issue of determining the area of land plots in the USK-2000 coordinate system up to 25 hectares.
SPIRITUAL COMFORT AND SPIRIT OF THE CITY AS AN URBAN PHENOMENON
Authors: Habrel Mykola , Kosmii Mykhailo , Habrel Taras
Published: August 2023

The article makes theoretical reflections and analogies of urban systems (ideal, functional, intelligent city) with human spirituality and spirituality of the city. The study considers spirituality as part of human comfort, and the need for urban spirituality as a key requirement of urban planning. The spiritual component is underestimated by society, as well as by specialists in organizing the space of social activity, while it is the intangible and vernacular that create the "face" of cities. The key idea of the study is that the city should be spiritually comfortable, and in substantiating architectural and urban planning decisions in today's dynamic conditions, spiritual criteria and categories of faith, culture, mentality should be the main ones. The phenomenon of spirit and comfort of cities has been reconsidered, approaches to returning spirituality to cities, wider participation of free human will (libera voluntas) in the process of their creation, deformalization of the existing practice of urban planning, activation of internal resources of people in the design of cities, formation of new forms of urban life and activity have been substantiated. Rethinking urbanization, we consider spirituality as an integral part of human nature and urban community, urban lifestyles and activities.

A research methodology based on the provisions of behavioral psychology and cultivating the integrity of "reading, imaging and building a city" is presented. An approach based on the assertion that urban spirituality is realized through innate needs, challenges and contexts is applied. In the process of research, to build a model of spiritual comfort of the city, the position of the five-dimensionality of urban planning space (person – functions – conditions – geometry – time) was used and semi-structured interviews (surveys and conversations) were conducted with civil servants, persons who worked in the field of urban planning, management and religious affairs, as well as in institutional groups (creative unions, public associations, religious congregations, schools, families). This contributed to the collective assessment of this phenomenon, its connection with the city. Events and spiritual places that create a sense of spiritual comfort — coziness, calm and educate a person — are allocated, spirituality and sacredness of the city space as a system are analyzed. Proposals are formulated and architectural and town-planning recommendations are presented to strengthen the spirit and spiritual comfort of cities.

Published: August 2023

The article examines the political prerequisites, the history of the formation and features of the implementation of agreements on the production, use, and non-proliferation of nuclear missile weapons and their significance for international security policy. The main areas of research were: 1) the study of the main directions of the international policy of contractual regulation of preventing the use of nuclear missile weapons; 2) a discussion of scientists on the vectors of development of contractual and legal regulation of the studied social relations among domestic and foreign scientists.

In the course of the study, methods in political science and legal sciences were used, in particular, the formal-dogmatic method provided an opportunity to analyze this problem from the point of view of the existing provisions of international treaties and the obligations of the participating countries to prevent the proliferation and especially the use of nuclear missile weapons, system-structural. the method provided an opportunity to analyze the role and importance of the United Nations in the formation of an international contractual framework in the process of implementing international security policy in the field of nuclear missile weapons.

The use of these and other methods made it possible to distinguish two main directions of the international policy of treaty regulation of preventing the use of nuclear missile weapons: regulation of the production and use of nuclear weapons, as well as regulation of public relations to counter nuclear terrorism. The central place in the study of these areas is given to the analysis of the Treaty on the Non- Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons dated July 1, 1968. The article formulates the main problematic points of the provisions of this Treaty and substantiates the directions for the development of the contractual framework in the process of implementing international security policy aimed at preventing the use and proliferation of nuclear missiles. weapons
Canonical Set Theory with Applications from Parallel Addition of Multiple Inputs to Matrix Multiplication and Data Structures
Authors: Ramirez Juan Pablo
Published: August 2023

Few questions that have resounded through the mind of the mathematician, as much as the simple question of describing the nature of a number. The longstanding consensus is that it does not matter which set theory is used to describe numbers. What matters is that it can be done. It is widely believed that the particular choice of a construction for natural and real numbers is irrelevant for the rest of mathematics. A set theory is proposed as a canonical theory that yields transparent proofs in fundamental areas of mathematics including group theory, discrete mathematics, analysis, data types, and new results tying these areas and addressing Hilbert's 24th (twenty-fourth) Problem and Benacerraf's Identification Problem. Applications to computer science are discussed and these include a linearly-scaleable circuit that serves for parallel addition and multiplication of scalars, vectors and matrices, with wide implications for Area-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) used in CGI, Neural Networks and AI training, Digital Signal Processing, among other applications that depend on fast and low-powered vector operations. This low-power In-Situ (In-Memory) computing architecture, based on a patent-pending Simple and Linear Fast Adder (SLFA), is a direct consequence of the proposed set theory. Algebraic invariants are also described with results bringing together set theory, discrete mathematics, number theory and algebraic structures. A canonical block form is defined for the Cayley table of finite groups, in terms of a numeric representation of groups. Automorphisms, and the minimal independent system of equations that define the group are given by the block form, among other information regarding groups' internal and external structure. The proposed construction of natural numbers is generalized to provide a simple and transparent construction of the continuum of real numbers, with a fast approximation for the numeric derivative that can be implemented with the SLFA. Infinite data structures are defined in the most efficient way with the smallest possible data type. A countable sequence of real numbers is coded in a single real number, and an infinite \(\infty\times\infty\) real-valued matrix is also coded with a single real number. A real function is coded in a set of real numbers, and a countable sequence of real functions is also coded in a set of real numbers. These codings are meaningful and computable. Mathematical objects of all types are well assigned to tree structures in a proposed hierarchy of types.
Recognising and Responding to Physical and Mental Health Issues in Neurodivergent Females
Authors: Kelly Clive , Martin Ren , Taylor Rachael
Published: August 2023

People experience life and interact with others in many ways. The term ‘neurodivergence’ refers to variations from what is considered typical or normal. Research and education into neurodivergent conditions in females is essential in informing a reassessment of clinicians’ present approach to those who present with multiple unexplained symptoms. Neurodivergence may influence a person’s style of communication, learning, attitudes, and behaviour, and they may experience inequity and rejection. A formal diagnosis improves access to support services and helps them and their family better understand themselves and the challenges they face. Neurodivergent females are especially prone to many physical and psychological health issues, and it is essential that clinicians learn to recognise and respond to these. This commentary highlights the relative lack of research into clinical aspects of neurodivergent conditions in females, suggesting how clinicians might increase their awareness to mutual benefit.

Authors:   Central Ukrainian National Technical University, Shalimova Nataliia , Magopets Оlena ,   Central Ukrainian National Technical University, Bosenko Anatoly ,   Central Ukrainian National Technical University
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the study of existing approaches to the definition of fundamental categories and concepts in the taxation management system, which are based on a critical analysis of scientific opinion regarding the understanding, interpretation and characterization of processes related to the organization of the state's activities and the implementation of its powers in the field of taxation and regulation of tax relations. It is proved that the categories "taxation management", "tax management" and "tax administration" are close in terms of content and etymological perception. Along with this, it is substantiated that taxation management is a broader and more complex phenomenon and functionally includes both the organization of tax process management (tax management) and the organizational and administrative activities of authorized state bodies in the field of taxation process management (tax administration). It was determined that taxation management is a dynamic scientific and practical process, multifaceted in its content, target institutions and organizational conditions, which is based on general principles and fundamental provisions of economic management, a systematic approach and analysis, and which is formed in accordance with the prevailing economic conditions at a certain point in time and is transformed under the influence of changes in the external environment and is aimed at ensuring the sustainable development of the economy, society and the state. It has been established that the organization of taxation management is impossible without clear coordination of actions between management subjects, which is provided by the mechanism of taxation management. It is suggested that the mechanism of taxation management should be understood as a set of management actions of state authorities, economic management and control, public supervision bodies and professional organizations, which are implemented by them together with taxpayers in the process of paying taxes and fees and are aimed at ensuring the stimulating effect of the tax system on the socio-economic development of the state, implementation of regulatory and fiscal functions by taxes, elimination of shortcomings of current methods of tax administration, formation of an optimal taxation system. The levers for ensuring the effectiveness of the functioning of the elements of the taxation management mechanism are substantiated.

Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of personnel creativity in the hospitality industry in today's conditions, the analysis of the characteristics of creativity in the literary sources of domestic and foreign scientists, the determination of the key conditions for the success of the management of personnel creativity, and the development of practical modern approaches to the management of personnel creativity in the hospitality industry. Based on the scientific goals of this research, creativity is considered as creative abilities, as a sign of giftedness, as a creative potential inherent in every person, which includes cognitive needs, thresholds for responding to novelty and non-standard situations. Selected examples of practical application of creative thinking skills, among which it is worth paying attention to the fact that, firstly, solving complex, unexpected problems requires a creative approach; secondly, creativity in analytical thinking helps to extract meaning from sets of raw data; third, if a manager has excellent leadership skills based on creative ideas and vision, he can unite team members and motivate them to work together to achieve the ultimate goal. It has been studied that motivation is one of the most important components of creativity because it comes from the desire to do something that has never been done before. It is proposed to highlight creativity as an integral quality from the "soft skills" of hospitality workers, because a person with non-standard thinking and unique ideas can be successful in this field and help their employers improve their business. It is highlighted that the key conditions for the success of managing the creativity of personnel in hospitality industry establishments are knowledge; creative and critical thinking; employee motivation for creative, intellectual activity.

Introduction: Previous studies suggest that the severity of alterations in cognitive functions in people with a diagnosis of bipolar I disorder are directly related to the deterioration in overall functioning and life quality. Aim: The present study aimed to test the cognitive functional model of patients with bipolar disorder regarding childhood traumatic experiences based on the mediating role of emotional instability and expressed emotion. Method: The research method is descriptive-correlational modeling of structural equations. The sample population included all patients with bipolar disorder who were admitted to Yahyanejad hospital in Babol, Iran during 17 months (from March/April 2010 until mid-September 2020). In total, 379 subjects were selected by convenience sampling. Data collection tools were The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) by Bernstein and Fink (1998), the Emotional Instability Scale by Oliver and Simpson (2004), the Expressed Emotion Level by Hall & et al. (2007), and the Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire by Nejati (2013). Data analysis was performed by structural equation modeling (SEM) in SPSS version 24 and Lisrel version 8.8. Results: The findings showed that childhood traumatic experiences directly affect emotional instability, expressed emotion, and cognitive function in patients with bipolar disorder (P<0.5). Further, emotional instability and expressed emotion play a mediating role in the correlation between childhood traumatic experiences and cognitive function in patients with bipolar disorder (P<0.5). Conclusion: According to the results, emotional instability and expressed emotion have a mediating role in the correlation between childhood traumatic experiences and cognitive function in patients with bipolar disorder. Therefore, in order to improve the cognitive function of people with bipolar disorder, instrumented variables of stability and emotion should be taken into consideration.

Introduction: Cognitive-motor skills form a large part of human life, and for many years researchers and educators have attempted to identify factors that influence their implementation. Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive attentional focus instructions and exercise schedule on cognitive performance in elderly men. Method: The present study was a semi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design and 4 experimental groups. Sixty elderly men from Ahvaz city aged 60-80 years were selected by voluntary random sampling in 2020 and randomly divided into four experimental groups (variable practice-internal attention, variable practice-external attention, constant practice-external attention, and constant practice-internal attention). The dartboard attached to the wall served as a tool. The research groups had 10 sessions and each session consisted of 3 blocks of 10 trials. Thus, the test was performed 48 hours after the subjects' last training session. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and mixed repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The results of one-way ANOVA showed that there was a significant difference between the groups in the posttest phase (P=0.001, F=11.43). Tukey's post hoc test was used to test the differences. The results showed a significant difference between the variable practice-external attention group with variable practice-internal attention (P=0.011), constant practice-external attention (P=0.001), and constant practice-internal attention (P=0.001) groups. However, no difference was found between the other study groups at this stage. Conclusion: Based on the research results, the combined group with variable practice-external attention performed better than the other groups. Considering that the variable practice-external attention training group showed better cognitive performance, geriatric sneakers and professionals are recommended to use the combined advantage of these two methods in their training plans.

Introduction: Decision-making is one of the key factors that are highly associated with psychological factors. However, there are few studies on the relationship between this variable and mental toughness. Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mental toughness and decision-making accuracy considering the mediating role of gender. Method: The present study was a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population of the study included all futsal referees in the country's first division in 2020-2021, and 123 individuals were voluntarily selected as the statistical sample. The Spitz & et al. (2018) Decision Accuracy Test of and the Clough & et al. (2002) Mental Toughness Questionnaire were used to collect data. Finally, to examine the relationship between the variables, Pearson correlation, regression and independent t-test, and SPSS version 21 software were used. Results: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between mental toughness and decision accuracy (r=0.32, P=0.001). Also, the results of the components of mental toughness showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the challenge, commitment, emotional control, and life control components with decision accuracy (P<0.05). A multiple regression test showed that decision accuracy is influenced by mental toughness (B=0.030), and there is a significant difference between men and women in mental toughness (t=3.81, P<0.001), but this difference in decision accuracy was not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: The presence of a significant relationship between mental toughness and decision accuracy indicates that decision accuracy improves with increasing mental toughness. Therefore, it is suggested that the variable of mental toughness can be used as an effective psychological method to improve cognitive performance.
