У статті розглянуто проблему оцінки ефективності прийняття тактичного рішення на ведення морського бою. Представлено дослідження математичних моделей на основі методу дослідження операцій, описано критерії ефективності та етапи їх побудови. Визначено сутність математичного моделювання морського бою. Запропоновано методику побудови математичної моделі процесу бойового застосування зброї кораблями (катерами) бойового застосування корабельної зброї. Сформовано модель визначення оптимальної кількості сил і засобів (наряду сил) із метою знищення противника з визначеною ефективністю з урахуванням його протидії, а також модель визначення необхідного рубежу виявлення морського противника з метою його знищення на максимальній відстані в межах тактико-технічних характеристик своїх засобів ураження. Розглянуто етапи математичного моделювання процесу та їх зміст: постановка завдання, тобто прийняття рішення про необхідність моделювання та його мету; побудова математичної моделі; дослідження системи на моделі, прогнозування та управління оригіналом за результатами цих досліджень. Розглянуто послідовність побудови математичної моделі та види робіт, які виконуються під час будови математичної моделі: оцінка впливу елементів за різних варіантів рішень; згрупування взаємопов’язаних елементів із метою спрощення моделі; визначення характеру впливу елементів на систему (постійний або змінний); закріплення символів за кожним елементом та складання рівняння. Для змінних елементів установлюються піделементи системи, що впливають на їх величну. Побудову математичної моделі, тобто вивчення явища за допомогою математичної моделі, можна умовно розбити на чотири етапи: етап змістовного опису; етап формалізації опису; етап остаточної побудови моделі (ідентифікації параметрів і перевірки адекватності моделі); етап перегляду й удосконалення моделі за результатами узагальнення емпірично накопичених даних. Розглянуто основні чинники, які необхідно враховувати під час модулювання підготовки та ведення морського бою та їх зміст: оцінка морського противника, бойові можливості кораблів, тактичні характеристики району ведення бойових дій, кліматичні умови, розрахунковий час на підготовку для ведення бою. Розглянуто етапи моделювання підготовки та ведення морського бою та їх зміст. Розглянуто врахування бойової стійкості кораблів (катерів) ВМС Збройних сил України під час моделювання процесу бойового застосування зброї на етапі прийняття тактичного рішення на ведення морського бою.
ДЕМОКРАТІЯ У ЗАДЗЕРКАЛЛІ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОГО СУСПІЛЬСТВА: ПРИЧИНИ ТА НАСЛІДКИ
Authors: ГОЦАЛЮК Алла
Published: June 2024

Інформаційне суспільство створює безпрецедентні можливості для висвітлення кожного явища, процесу і тенденції суспільної життєдіяльності. Однак спосіб використання таких можливостей залежить не від самого інформаційного суспільства, а від соціальних суб’єктів, які визначають доцільність використання тих чи інших опцій інформаційного суспільства. Тому на практиці завжди доводиться мати справу з певною несбалансованістю інформаційного висвітлення, коли одні аспекти набувають гіпертрофованого значення, а щодо інших існує режим інформаційного вакууму. Така особливість і водночас закономірність повністю поширюється й на аспект демократії – на інформаційне забезпечення її змістовних ознак та інструментальних можливостей.
ДЕРЖАВНЕ УПРАВЛІННЯ РИЗИКАМИ ЕПІДЕМІОЛОГІЧНИХ ВПЛИВІВ НА СОЦІАЛЬНО-ЕКОНОМІЧНИЙ РОЗВИТОК ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ РОСТУ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОГО БЛАГОПОЛУЧЧЯ

Published: June 2024

У статті визначено, що людська цивілізація зустрілася з новими викликами, зумовленими як невідповідністю існуючих бізнес-моделей та моделей економічного розвитку вимогам часу, що радикально змінилися при переході до технологічного укладу, так і глобальними загрозами, пов'язаними з екологічною та кліматичною кризою, посиленням глобальних ризиків продовольчої безпеки, реалізацією ланцюга глобальних епідеміологічних ризиків. Найбільшим із них стала пандемія, яка не лише викликала посилення та поглиблення соціально-економічних проблем, але і дала поштовх трансформаційним процесам на галузевих ринки. З’ясовано, що державне управління ризиками, пов'язаними з епідеміологічними загрозами, викликає необхідність ретельного аналізу та прийняття низки стратегічних рішень на різних рівнях: від місцевих органів самоврядування до центральних органів виконавчої влади. При цьому слід зазначити, що поряд з подоланням негативних наслідків епідемій необхідно виявити і максимально використати шанси, пов'язані з поштовхом до розвитку нових технологій та інструментів, обумовлених її впливом. Крім того, не можна не враховувати мультиплікативний ефект спільного впливу епідеміологічних загроз, спричинених пандемією, та інших глобальних загроз людської цивілізації. Обґрунтовано, що епідеміологічні загрози можуть мати значний вплив на соціально-економічні аспекти суспільства та викликати низку проблем. Державне управління ризиками епідемій вимагає комплексного підходу, який враховує як медичні, так і соціально-економічні аспекти, з метою забезпечення максимального захисту населення та мінімізації негативних наслідків для суспільства. Одним з найважливіших елементів управління ризиками є його попередження та готовність до епідемій шляхом розробки та впровадження планів заходів у разі кризових ситуацій. Зазначені плани повинні охоплювати такі аспекти, як швидка мобілізація медичних ресурсів, введення необхідних обмежень на рівні громадського здоров'я та забезпечення соціальної допомоги потерпілим. Доведено, що зазначене може включати розвиток цифрових технологій для підтримки дистанційної роботи та навчання, стимулювання інновацій та підтримки малого та середнього бізнесу. Державне управління ризиками передбачає активне співробітництво між секторами суспільства та органами державної влади, а також між країнами на міжнародному рівні. Обмін даними, кращими практиками та ресурсами може покращити загальну ефективність в державному управлінні епідеміологічними ризиками та забезпечити більш успішну реакцію на кризові ситуації. Перспективи розвитку національного благополуччя в умовах епідеміологічних загроз можуть бути залученням до інвестицій у сферу охорони здоров'я.

Authors: Valencia Botin Alberto Julian , Zurita-Martínez Florentina , Tejeda-Ortega Allan , Cruz‑Esteban Samuel
Published: June 2024

Objective: The aim of this research is to reflect briefly on the importance of the use of agrochemicals in the productivity of some crops according to their contribution to yield, and some implications of their agricultural consumption.
Design/methodology/approach: Based on related literature and some experiences in the field on the use and consumption of pesticides.
Results: Pesticides are synthetic, microbial or derived organic compounds used in plant growth programs to prevent or control pests, diseases, and weeds. Also, mineral nutrition (with macro and micronutrients) is considered as agrochemicals. However, the effects on the contamination of soils, groundwater, lakes, seas and oceans due to its use is increasing. Mexico is a large consumer of fungicides, insecticides, fertilizers and herbicides for agricultural uses.
Limitations on study/implications: Unmeasured use of any type of pesticide can produce tons of pesticide-trash. Some traces of active or inert ingredients can be detected in bodies of water.
Findings/conclusions: The constant risk of agronomic yield losses can be substantial without the use of agrochemicals. Without the application of pesticides, yield losses can reach 100%.

Objective: of the research was to know the incidence of CTV to try to associate it with the yellowing and death of citrus trees. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: the presence of the virus was diagnosed in seven citrus-producing municipalities in northern Veracruz. A total of 804 samples from citrus trees were collected in 90 locations belonging to the municipalities of Álamo, Castillo de Teayo, Cazones, Chicontepec, Ixhuatlán, Papantla and Tihuatlán. Results: out of all the samples, 380 were positive for CTV; 68% corresponded to attenuated variants and 40% to severe variants. The following symptoms were observed in all the municipalities: death of branches (68%), yellowing of shoots (41%), trees with small leaves (38%), and debarking of the trunk (32%); the incidence of small fruits was 31%, and finally, generalized yellowing (19%). Limitations/ Implications of the study: to manage the disease there are various alternatives, the most frequent is the use of tolerant rootstocks, however, with the existence of severe variants there may be tree deaths even with tolerant rootstocks, so it is necessary to search for and implement other far-reaching options. Findings/ Conclusions: the results show that even with the regulations for the production and mobilization of plants, the virus is widely distributed in the seven municipalities of northern Veracruz.

Published: June 2024

Objective: to analyze production and consumption of maize grain in Mexico, with time series and recurrent neural networks, to describe the present and future situation of maize cultivation.
Design/ Methodology/ Approach: key variables were analyzed in graphs and maps created in Excel® and SCImago Graphica®, respectively. Forecasts for the year 2050 were obtained in Python© with Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) of the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) type, and were compared with the years 1980 and 2020.
Results: the largest production of white and yellow maize grain was obtained by the United States and China. Mexico ranks seventh, is not competitive in exports, and relies on imports of yellow maize grain from the United States to supply demand. The Mexican states that implemented technology packages showed higher yields and production. By 2050, maize grain production in Mexico will increase due to the technological advances of Agriculture 5.0 Although it would not be enough to supply the apparent consumption of the growing population, for this reason imports will increase.
Limitations/ Implications of the study: analysis of the possible future, created from time series through RNN-LSTM, helps to guide decision-making in the present.
Findings/ Conclusions: new agricultural public policies are needed to guide, in the long term, the challenges of maize grain production and consumption in Mexico to guarantee food sovereignty.

Authors: Villanueva Jiménez Juan Antonio , Canela Cantellano José Jair , Cabrera Mireles Héctor , López Collado José , Otero Prevost Luis Gabriel
Published: June 2024

Objective: To compare the efficiency of a 30x30x5 cm iron sampling frame (Frame30) with a smaller 15x15x5 cm one (Frame15), as sampling method for spittlebug eggs [(Aenolamia albofasciata (Lallemand)] that reduces the amount of soil removed, optimizes time used, and reduces the sampling effort.
Design/methodology/approach: Mean, variance, coefficient of variation, sampling effort, spatial arrangement, and sample size were determined with both sampling frames. Forty systematic soil samples were obtained using each frame in two plots planted with the variety MEX 69-290, and two others with MEX 91-662. Each soil sample was mixed and homogenized to obtain a subsample of 250 g, from which eggs were extracted by decantation in saline solution.
Results: Both frames estimated different numbers of eggs in the four plots ( ) (Frame15: 2.71±1.71; 3.49±1.81; 2.74±2.08; 4.44±2.22; Frame30: 4.42±3.58; 6.65±3.92; 4.40±3.45; 7.84±4.54). Significant differences were found between sampling frames (P<0.0001) and between plots (P<0.0001), but not in the plot-sampling frame interaction (P=0.1509). The optimal sample size (accuracy 0.1) was smaller with Frame15 (40, 27, 57 and 25), compared to Frame30 (65, 34, 61 and 34). Both frames estimated a conglomerated spatial arrangement of eggs using three methods.
Limitations on study/implications: This study suggests changing the sampling frame used in Veracruz, Mexico, for a smaller, more efficient one.
Findings/conclusions: Frame15 reduced by 75% the soil removed, provided more accurate population estimates, and simplified field and laboratory management, compared with Frame30.

Kethoprak Reog Paguyuban Seni Reog Singo Bhirowo Lakon Suminten Edan (Kolaborasi Kesenian Rakyat sebagai Ekspresi Akulturasi Budaya)
Authors: Dipoyono Achmad , Imama Yulela Nur
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT The city of Surakarta has approximately 35 groups or communities dedicated to the Reog art form. One of these groups is known as "Paguyuban Seni Reog Singo Bhirowo" which comprises 45 members spanning across different generations. This quantity reflects the high level of interest among the Banjarsari community in Reog art. Moreover, the establishment of "Paguyuban Seni Reog Singo Bhirowo" is a response from urban residents living outside Surakarta who have a background in Reog art. The group aims to create a performance format that combines Reog with the traditional Javanese art form called "Kethoprak," known as "Reog Kethoprak." The fusion of Kethoprak and Reog, both rooted in folk art, is seen as a suitable step to promote intercultural understanding, tolerance, and enrich the global heritage of the arts. This cultural amalgamation in the presentation of Kethoprak and Reog is an offering to strengthen their coexistence in society, particularly in Surakarta. The process of creating the Reog Kethoprak performance, exemplified by the Suminten Edan play, involves various stages: cultural exchange, acceptance and exploration, adoption and adaptation, integration, and transformation, resulting in the final show. In the implementation of the Suminten Edan play, contemporary conflicts related to the economic situation of the Reog community are incorporated into the narrative. The collaboration between these two folk art forms, Kethoprak and Reog, serves as a reflection of cultural tolerance and a recognition that differences can come together to produce something significant and have a positive impact on each other. This collaboration is not about division or competition but rather about unity. Keywords: Acculturation, Reog Kethoprak, Local Cultural Expression.

Published: June 2024

The government has replaced Law Number 2 of 2022 on Job Creation, eliminating derivative provisions from Law Number 11 of 2020 on Employment and citing the principles of Legal Certainty and Protection. The terms of employment contracts are predominantly governed by Law Number 13 of 2003 on Manpower, with specific provisions from Law Number 11 of 2020 remaining intact, such as the conversion from Fixed-Term Work Agreements/ Perjanjian Kerja Waktu Tertentu (PKWT) to Permanent Work Agreements/Perjanjian Kerja Waktu Tertentu (PKWTT). Meanwhile, Government Regulation Number 35 of 2021 has been rescinded by the newly implemented Regulation, posing challenges for legal status adjustments in district courts. This investigation aims to scrutinize and elucidate the execution of converting PKWT to PKWTT before enacting the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) and the Omnibus Law. Subsequently, the aim is to explore and clarify the conversion of fixed-term work contracts such as PKWT into permanent work contracts such as PKWTT  following the implementation of the Perppu. This study adopts a normative/doctrinal approach. The consulted literature encompasses various legal documents, including Government Regulation Number 35 of 2021. Then, it was found that the significance of regulations concerning the PKWT to PKWTT conversion was underscored in offering clarity to workers in their daily tasks. The Manpower Law imposes restrictions on work agreements with employees, mandating written contracts in Indonesian and prohibiting multiple extensions beyond the stipulated limit.
Events related to medication errors and related factors involving nurses’ behavior to reduce medication errors in Japan: a Bayesian network modeling-based factor analysis and scenario analysis
Authors: Sugimura Naotaka , Ogasawara Katsuhiko
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationships between medication errors and the factors affecting nurses’ knowledge and behavior in Japan using Bayesian network modeling. It also aimed to identify important factors through scenario analysis with consideration of nursing students’ and nurses’ education regarding patient safety and medications.Methods: We used mixed methods. First, error events related to medications and related factors were qualitatively extracted from 119 actual incident reports in 2022 from the database of the Japan Council for Quality Health Care. These events and factors were then quantitatively evaluated in a flow model using Bayesian network, and a scenario analysis was conducted to estimate the posterior probabilities of events when the prior probabilities of some factors were 0%.Results: There were 10 types of events related to medication errors. A 5-layer flow model was created using Bayesian network analysis. The scenario analysis revealed that “failure to confirm the 5 rights,” “unfamiliarity with operations of medications,” “insufficient knowledge of medications,” and “assumptions and forgetfulness” were factors that were significantly associated with the occurrence of medical errors.Conclusion: This study provided an estimate of the effects of mitigating nurses’ behavioral factors that trigger medication errors. The flow model itself can also be used as an educational tool to reflect on behavior when incidents occur. It is expected that patient safety education will be recognized as a major element of nursing education worldwide and that an integrated curriculum will be developed.

Background

Birch pollen–related food allergy (BPFA) is the most common type of food allergy in birch-endemic areas such as Western and Central Europe. Currently, there is no treatment available for BPFA. Due to the cross-reactivity between birch pollen and a range of implicated plant foods, birch pollen allergen immunotherapy (AIT) may be effective in the treatment of BPFA. In this study, we systematically evaluate the effectiveness of birch pollen–specific subcutaneous or sublingual immunotherapy in treating BPFA.

Methods

A search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane libraries. Studies were independently screened by two reviewers against predefined eligibility criteria. The outcomes of interest were changes in (1) severity of symptoms during food challenge, (2) eliciting dose (ED), and (3) food allergy quality of life (FA-QoL). The validity of the selected articles was assessed using the revised Cochrane risk of bias tool. We focused on studies with the lowest risk of bias and considered studies with a high risk of bias as supportive. Data were descriptively summarized.

Results

Ten studies were selected that included 475 patients in total. Seven studies were categorized into “high risk of bias” and three into “moderate risk of bias.” The three moderate risk of bias studies, with a total of 98 patients, reported on severity of symptoms during challenge and on the ED. All three studies had a control group. Compared to the control group, improvement in severity of symptoms was observed during challenge in two out of the three studies and on the eliciting dose in one out of three. Only one study investigated the effect of birch pollen AIT on FA-QoL, showing that there was no significant difference between patients receiving subcutaneous immunotherapy or a placebo. Of the seven supportive studies, four had a control group and of those, three showed improvement on both severity of symptoms and ED. None of the supportive studies investigated the effect of the therapy on FA-QoL.

Conclusion

This systematic review shows that there is not enough evidence to draw firm conclusions about the effect of AIT on BPFA. Future research is warranted that uses robust clinical studies that include long-term effects, QoL, and multiple BPFA-related foods.

Genetic tools form the basis for the study of molecular mechanisms. Despite many recent advances in the field of genetic engineering in bacteria, genetic toolsets remain scarce for non-model organisms, such as the obligatory human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes. To overcome this limitation and enable the straightforward investigation of gene functions in S. pyogenes, we have developed a comprehensive genetic toolset. By adapting and combining different tools previously applied in other Gram-positive bacteria, we have created new replicative and integrative plasmids for gene expression and genetic manipulation, constitutive and inducible promoters as well as fluorescence reporters for S. pyogenes. The new replicative plasmids feature low- and high-copy replicons combined with different resistance cassettes and a standardized multiple cloning site for rapid cloning procedures. We designed site-specific integrative plasmids and verified their integration by nanopore sequencing. To minimize the effect of plasmid integration on bacterial physiology, we screened publicly available RNA-sequencing datasets for transcriptionally silent sites. We validated this approach by designing the integrative plasmid pSpy0K6 targeting the transcriptionally silent gene SPy_1078. Analysis of the activity of different constitutive promoters indicated a wide variety of strengths, with the lactococcal promoter P23 showing the strongest activity and the synthetic promoter PxylS2 showing the weakest activity. Further, we assessed the functionality of three inducible regulatory elements including a zinc- and an IPTG-inducible promoter as well as an erythromycin-inducible riboswitch that showed low-to-no background expression and high inducibility. Additionally, we demonstrated the applicability of two codon-optimized fluorescent proteins, mNeongreen and mKate2, as reporters in S. pyogenes. We therefore adapted the chemically defined medium called RPMI4Spy that showed reduced autofluorescence and enabled efficient signal detection in plate reader assays and fluorescence microscopy. Finally, we developed a plasmid-based system for genome engineering in S. pyogenes featuring the counterselection marker pheS*, which enabled the scarless deletion of the sagB gene. This new toolbox simplifies previously laborious genetic manipulation procedures and lays the foundation for new methodologies to study gene functions in S. pyogenes, leading to a better understanding of its virulence mechanisms and physiology.

A promising pollution control technology is cold plasma driven chemical processing. The plasma is a pulsed electric gas discharge inside a near atmospheric-pressure-temperature reactor. The system is energized by a continuous stream of very short high-voltage pulses. The exhaust gas to be treated flows through the reactor. The methods applied involve the development of robust cold plasma systems, industrial applications and measuring technologies. Tests of the systems were performed at many industrial sites and involved control of airborne VOC (volatile organic compound) and odor. Electrical, chemical and odor measuring data were collected with state-of-the-art methods. To explain the test data an approximate solution of global reaction kinetics of pulsed plasma chemistry was developed. It involves the Lambert function and, for convenience, a simple approximation of it. The latter shows that the amount of removal, in good approximation, is a function of a single variable. This variable is electric plasma power divided by gas flow divided by input concentration. In the results sections we show that in some cases up to 99% of volatile pollution can be removed at an acceptable energy requirement. In the final sections we look into future efficiency enhancements by implementation of (sub)nanosecond pulsed plasma and solid state high-voltage technology and by integration with catalyst technology.

Untreated wastewater harbors dangerous pathogens, chemicals, and pollutants, posing grave public health threats. Nowadays, there is a rising demand for eco-friendly technologies for wastewater treatment. Recently, piezoelectric materials-based wastewater treatment technology has captured considerable interest among researchers because of its noninvasiveness and rapidity. Herein, a highly efficient piezoelectric composite material is designed with chitosan-incorporated bismuth ferrite (BFO) nanocrystals, to decompose pollutants and ablate bacteria in wastewater. On one hand, piezoelectric BFO has shown exclusive piezo-coefficient for ultrasound-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. On the other hand, chitosan depicts its biocompatible nature, which not only promotes cellular adhesion but also significantly elevates the ROS production capabilities of BFO under ultrasound. The synergistic effect of these two piezoelectric units in one composite entity shows an improved ROS production, eradicating ∼87.8% of Rhodamine B within 80 min under soft ultrasound treatment (rate constant, k ≈ 0.02866 min−1). After performing the scavenger experiment, it has been found that hydroxyl radicals are the dominating factor in this case. Further, the reusability of the composite piezocatalyst is confirmed through multiple cycles (five times) of the same experiment. The high polarizability of the composite material facilitates the generation of piezoelectric power through finger tapping (∼12.05 V), producing substantial instantaneous piezo-voltage. Moreover, the sample exhibits remarkable antibacterial activity, with nearly 99% bacterial eradication within 30 min. This indicates a significant advancement in utilizing biopolymeric composites incorporated with BFO for fabricating versatile devices with multidimensional applications.
