ДИНАМИКА ЗАДОЛЖЕННОСТИ ПО ЖИЛИЩНЫМ КРЕДИТАМ В РЕСПУБЛИКЕ ТАТАРСТАН: ФАЗОВЫЙ АНАЛИЗ ЦИКЛИЧНОСТИ
Authors: Ильясов Р.Х.
Published: June 2024

Конъюнктура рынка недвижимости является одним из важных индикаторов социально-экономического развития регионов. Рост объёмов жилищного кредитования в последние годы стал ключевым фактором не только развития рынка недвижимости, но и признаком стабилизации общей экономической ситуации в России. Однако рынок недвижимости, как и другие отрасли экономики, подвержен воздействию кризисов. В статье предлагается новыми методами выполнить анализ цикличности в динамике задолженности по жилищным кредитам в Республике Татарстан – одном из регионов России с высокими показателями социально-экономического развития. Анализ цикличности в динамике показателей жилищного кредитования на примере одного из успешных регионов актуален – он позволяет оценивать риски воздействия кризисов на тенденции региональных рынков жилья в целом. В динамике показателей региона с высоким «запасом прочности» воздействие кризисов может проявиться лишь замедлением роста, что сложно обнаружить классическими сглаживающими методами. Сохранение точности данных достигается моделированием динамики задолженности по жилищным кредитам кубическими сплайнами. Предложенный метод фазового анализа одновременно описывает динамику самого показателя и скорость его изменения. Известно, что динамика задолженности определяется по состоянию на конкретные моменты времени – показателем типа запас. Её преобразование в модель скорости позволило выявить замедления и ускорения роста в динамике задолженности по жилищным кредитам в Республике Татарстан.

Authors: AA Adeniji , MO Adeniyi , MY Shatalov , K Oshinubi
Published: June 2024

This study explores the impact of the movement of PhD graduates and postdoctoral research fellows between academia and industry on unemployment within the academic and industry sectors. To achieve this, an optimal control model is analyzed which was developed for the population of the university, PhDs holders, postdocs, and industry compartments. The study discovered that, by offering incentives to PhD graduates and postdocs who choose to stay in academia rather than transition to industry, unemployment in the university sector can be reduced. Based on the findings, the authors advise for the governments to concentrate on offering these incentives to PhD holders and postdocs to persuade them to stay in academia. Policymakers can lower unemployment rates in both the academic and industrial sectors by putting in place measures that promote the retention of PhD holders and postdocs in academics and control their migration to the industry.

Authors: Stochero Valeria , Nobre Augusto
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the current status of graphene geology in Brazil, highlighting its mineralogical, petrological, and materials science contributions. Three approaches are presented: (I) the natural production of graphene from graphite nanoplates in sheared rocks, (II) the geological simulation under laboratory conditions, and (III) the evolution of electrical resistance in geological formations containing graphite and talc. All reviewed studies underscore the efficacy of graphene production in particular geological contexts, demonstrating its efficient formation within shear zones. The results indicate that graphene stabilises in talc and exhibits improvement in electrical conductivity under specific thermodynamic geological conditions, suggesting abundant natural sources that are economically viable and possess industrial applications. A comparative analysis shows that, although natural graphite nanoplates are thicker than graphene, they still qualify as nanomaterials and demonstrate promising technological potential. The research contributes to understanding the natural formation of graphene and highlights its practical applications in the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolution.

Shiva has some special characters. Kundaleni's power is in a latent condition in our body. Shiva lives in our Sahassarara (head), and joining Kundalini with Sahassarara is considered salvation in the Natha Sampradaya. The detachment and union of two philosophies or energy is elicited through the philosophy, of yoga. Trimbakeshwara is the sacred place of Nathas found on the foothill of Kaulageri (hill). Here both Kaula monks and yogeni live together. The above evidence proves how the Natha, Kaula, and Shaktha fusion occurred. The use of Panchamakara is the endeavour and salient feature of tantric sects.

Published: June 2024

In this paper, we will define the Modified Fractional Bell Polynomial by incorporating the Mittag Leffler function of one parameter. The Existence and convergence of the Modified Fractional Bell Polynomial will be established by extending the classical results of Bell Polynomial and Mittag Leffler function of one parameter in the fractional calculus. Additionally, we explore the inverse of the Modified Fractional Bell Polynomial, providing a step-by-step proof of its existence. This result enhances the applicability of the polynomial by allowing a unique mapping from each output to a set of input values. The introduction of the Modified Fractional Bell Polynomial, with its well-established properties, opens avenues for further research and applications in diverse mathematical contexts. The generality of the polynomial makes it a powerful tool for modeling complex phenomena.

Published: June 2024

Este estudio tuvo como propósito analizar la gestión de riesgos psicosocial y salud mental en trabajadores del sector salud de Maicao La Guajira Colombia. Para lograr este objetivo, se consideraron las teorías de varios autores científicos. Metodológicamente, la investigación tiene paradigma positivista, utilizando el enfoque cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo con diseño de campo no experimental, transaccional. La población del estudio estuvo conformada por cuatro (04) instituciones prestadoras de servicios de Salud. Para recopilar los datos, se utilizó una encuesta y se analizaron los resultados mediante estadística descriptiva. La validez se dio por juicio de expertos. Los datos obtenidos se tabularon utilizando el programa Microsoft Excel y se elaboró una matriz de doble entrada para obtener los resultados. Al analizar los factores de riesgos psicosociales, se concluyó que estos son altos lo que indica una percepción muy negativa de la gestión del riesgo psicosocial. Se evidenció la carencia de sistemas o procesos establecidos para detectar y abordar este tipo de riesgos, lo que podría contribuir a niveles más altos de estrés laboral y otros problemas de salud mental. Además, no existe seguimiento en el monitoreo del clima laboral, y la    retroalimentación y mejora continua son infrecuentes en su entorno laboral. Esto demostró la ausencia de supervisión y revisión de las medidas implementadas para mitigar los riesgos psicosociales, lo que podría dificultar la identificación y corrección de problemas en el entorno de trabajo. Finalmente, este estudio subraya la importancia de fortalecer la gestión de los riesgos psicosociales en el ámbito de la salud, con el fin de elaborar estrategias y políticas efectivas que fomenten un entorno laboral seguro y saludable para todos los empleados.

Authors: Fajri Vidian  , Abetnego Situmeang  , Heni Fitriani  , Taufik Arief  , Muksin Saleh
Published: June 2024

Rice husk gasification is increasingly attractive, particularly with updraft gasifier type, because of its simple construction and ease of operation. However, updraft gasifier has a disadvantage of generating substantial amounts of tar. Tar will decompose into combustible gas when exposed to high temperatures. The reduction zone has a high temperature for tar decomposition to occur. Therefore, in this research, updraft gasifier was modified by positioning gas outlet at the reduction zone and inducing gasification air supply using a blower. Modifications are made by moving the gas outlet from the top to the middle or reduction area. The initial start-up of the system uses a blown air supply system, then after the syngas are produced by the operation, it is replaced with a sucked air supply. Two blowers are used, namely an exhalation or blowing blower for initial start and a suction blower for continuous operation. The fuel used was low bulk density, specifically rice husks. The aim was to characterize the modified gasifier, focusing on parameters such as operating time, duration of gas combustion, air-to-rice husks ratio, and flame color. Typically, the experiments were conducted under constant of air velocity and fuel quantity. The results showed that the average operating time, duration of flammable gas, and air-to-rice husks ratio were 74.25 minutes, 52.28 minutes, and 7.6 kg air/kg husk, respectively, and the flame produced was a bluish-yellow color that indicates a reduction tar.

In the quickly changing digital world of today, protecting oneself from cyberattacks is crucial. This study presents a novel method that uses TensorFlow Federated (TFF) Learning to merge BiLSTM and DNN architectures, improving the precision and effectiveness of intrusion detection systems (IDS). TFF offers a major paradigm change in model training by enabling decentralized learning on several servers or devices. TFF provides IDS with collective intelligence by fostering collaborative learning on remote data sources while protecting data privacy. This improves detection accuracy and strengthens defenses against adversarial attacks. By utilizing TensorFlow Federated methods, IDS may run DNN and BiLSTM models concurrently, maximizing processing speed and resource efficiency. The system's capacity to manage high-throughput data streams is ensured by this concurrent execution, which speeds up threat detection and response. Moreover, information sharing and smooth integration between concurrent processes are made possible via synchronization and communication protocols. The cooperative synergy between the various models improves IDS's dependability and efficacy in thwarting emerging cyberthreats.
Temperature Call Alert to Prevent Child Death from Heatstroke in Smart Car using IoT

According to a study conducted by the National Health Service (NHS), 937 children died of heatstroke in the United States between 1998 and January 2023. Shockingly, out of these 937 deaths, 493 occurred due to parents forgetting to take their children out of cars. To prevent such tragic incidents from occurring, this paper proposes a simple system, "Temperature Call Alert”. The system operates by utilizing multiple sensors to collect and analyze data regarding the temperature inside a car. This data is then sent to a cloud platform for storage and processing. If the system detects a higher- than-normal temperature inside the car, it automatically sends an alert call to the parent's mobile number with a message. This alert call can help the parent to take necessary actions to prevent their child's life from being lost due to heatstroke. To implement the temperature call alert system, we used an IFTTT webhook with an IoT cloud. This allows us to give a call alert to the authorized mobile number whenever the system detects a potentially dangerous situation. With the help of this system, we can reduce the risk of heatstroke deaths caused by parents forgetting their children in cars.
Why an Alignment of Hypothesis-Formulation and Theorization with Cultural and Cross-Cultural Frames of Reference is Required: A Rough Guide to Better Hypothesis-Formulation and Theorization
Authors: Rao Mandavilli Sujay
Published: June 2024

In this paper, we proposition and champion the idea that theorization and hypothesis building, both of which form an intrinsic and a crucial part of formal scientific method, must be linked and tied to the concepts of cultural frame of reference, and cross-cultural frames of reference, two concepts that we had mooted in our previous papers. This approach, we argue, is necessary, in order that scientific concepts be better grasped and more thoroughly understood by the masses, and by the common public. We therefore, present a brief recapitulation of these two concepts besides introducing, and briefly explaining the twin ideas and the twin concepts of ideological frame of reference, and epistemological frame of reference as well. We also recapitulate and overview our earlier concepts of irreducible simplicity, “Continuous zero-based reassessment of assumptions, hypotheses and methods”, and structured apperception tests for socio- cultural change, and integrate them into the tenets of this paper. Last but not the least, we explain how all these concepts can lead to a percolation of scientific ideas, and a scientific temper among the masses, and lead us to what we have always called, “scientific progress at the speed of light.” These approaches and techniques must be followed as far as practically possible, and exceptions justified on a case to case basis.
Analysis of Selected Physical Fitness, Physiological, and Psychological Variables among Government, Government-Aided, and Private School Boys in Chennai District

Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study aims to analyze and compare selected physical fitness, physiological, and psychological variables among boys from government, government- aided, and private schools in the Chennai district. The purpose is to understand how different school environments impact these variables and to provide insights that can inform policy and practice in physical education and health promotion.  Methodology: A sample of 300 boys aged 12-15 years was selected through stratified random sampling, with 100 boys from each school type (government, government-aided, and private schools). Physical fitness was measured using the Fitness Gram test battery, physiological variables such as BMI, resting heart rate, and blood pressure were assessed using standard clinical procedures, and psychological variables were evaluated using the Rosenberg Self- Esteem Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale. Data were analyzed using ANOVA to compare the means across the three school types, with post-hoc tests conducted to identify specific group differences.  Conclusion: The study found significant differences in physical fitness, physiological health, and psychological well-being among boys from different types of schools. Boys from private schools exhibited better physical fitness and lower stress levels compared to their peers in government and government-aided schools. These findings highlight the influence of socio-economic factors and access to resources on students' health and suggest the need for targeted interventions in government and government- aided schools to improve physical and psychological well- being among students.
Retrieved Atmospheres and Inferred Surface Properties for Terrestrial Exoplanets Using Transmission and Reflected-light Spectroscopy

Future astrophysics missions will seek extraterrestrial life via transmission and direct-imaging observations. To assess habitability and biosignatures, we need robust retrieval tools to analyze observed spectra, and infer surface and atmospheric properties with their uncertainties. We use a novel retrieval tool to assess accuracy in characterizing near-surface habitability and biosignatures via simulated transmission and direct-imaging spectra, based on the Origins Space Telescope (Origins) and LUVOIR mission concepts. We assess our ability to discriminate between an Earth-like and a false-positive O3 TRAPPIST-1 e with transmission spectroscopy. In reflected light, we assess the robustness of retrieval results to unmodeled cloud extinction. We find that assessing habitability using transmission spectra may be challenging due to relative insensitivity to surface temperature and near-surface H2O abundances. Nonetheless, our order-of-magnitude H2O constraints can discriminate extremely desiccated worlds. Direct imaging is insensitive to surface temperature and subject to the radius/albedo degeneracy, but this method proves highly sensitive to surface water abundance, achieving retrieval precision within 0.1% even with partial clouds. Concerning biosignatures, Origins-like transmission observations (t = 40 hr) may detect the CO2/CH4 pair on M-dwarf planets and differentiate between biological and false-positive O3 using H2O and abundant CO. In contrast, direct-imaging observations with LUVOIR-A (t = 10 hr) are better suited to constraining O2 and O3, and may be sensitive to wavelength-dependent water cloud features, but will struggle to detect modern-Earth-like abundances of methane. For direct imaging, we weakly detect a stratospheric ozone bulge by fitting the near-UV wings of the Hartley band.
