Analysis the influence of Store Atmosphere, Price and Promotion to Customers’ Purchase Decision
Authors: Safia Oebit Cut Edwina , Adrian Didik
Published: December 2024

The success of a business is determined by its business strategy, one of which is the marketing
strategy. In a latter strategy, purchasing decisions are one of the important aspects that need to be taken into
account, so they need to be measured and analyzed. Besides individual factors of the customers in making
decisions, external factors also might influence their purchasing decisions. Some of those factors are safety,
convenience, service quality, and the seller's persuasion. This research aims to investigate and analyze the role
of three factors that are related to purchase decisions, i.e.: store atmosphere, price, and promotion in purchasing
decisions for retail products. The questionnaires were distributed to 170 respondents who were frequent
customers of consumer retail goods at one of the supermarkets in Jakarta. The research was based on a case
study and it is designed as a quantitative research using a causal analysis and a non-probability sampling
technique with a purposive technique. The data analysis method uses Partial Least Square software (SmartPLS
3), intending to predict the relationship between constructs. With this approach, path graphs were analyzed and
models of the coefficient of determination and hypothesis testing were applied. Every decision taken has an impact
on consumers both in the short and long term. The importance of this research is analyzing and collecting
information related to products, to achieve decision making. So this research can also indirectly identify and
measure the level of technology readiness (TKT) of consumers in making purchasing decisions. The results of this
study enrich the insight of the factors that influence marketing strategies in the digital era.

How does pain management differ - the basics of analgesia in pediatric patients compared to the adult population
Authors: Orzechowska Martyna , Orczyk Michał , Jabłońska Karolina , Gdula Szymon , Gibczyński Kamil
Published: December 2024

Pain management is a key component of medical care that shows significant differences in pharmacodynamics, epidemiology or psychological approaches between pediatric and adult patient populations. An analgesic drug is an agent used to treat pain. It is often inadequate and ineffective in pediatric patients - the younger the children, the less likely they are to receive adequate analgesia. Optimizing pain management in both populations requires continuous improvement in clinical practice and education of medical personnel and patients on pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. This article discusses the characteristics of analgesic use in children and adults and non-pharmacological approaches to pain management.

Objectives: The purpose of our study is to evaluate the methods of analgesia used in the pediatric population and in adult patients and the differences associated with age group membership.

Materials and Methods: The literature review was performed using Internet research paper databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline), using 28 articles available in English and Polish from 1983-2024.

Results: Analgesia in children has its own specific characteristics that differ from analgesia in adults. These include differences in pain sensitivity, age dependence, pain rating scale, psychological aspects, choice of analgesic drug or drug dosage. Conclusion: Improving the quality of analgesia in children requires both pharmacological support and the use of non-pharmacological methods, education of doctors and parents, and emotional support.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a recognized method in treating various conditions in dermatology, oncology, and gynecology. PDT involves introducing a substance called a photosensitizer into the patient's body, which accumulates in specific, targeted tissues. These tissues are then exposed to a light of a wavelength absorbed by the photosensitizer, leading to the release of cell-damaging factors from the photosensitizer within the targeted cells. Due to its effectiveness and good tolerance, PDT is used in treating both benign and malignant neoplasms, inflammatory diseases and autoimmune skin disorders.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the literature on the application of PDT on treating lesions in oral lichen planus (OLP).

Materials and Methods: A literature review was conducted using the PubMed database with the following keywords: ‘lichen planus’, ‘oral lichen planus’, ‘photodynamic therapy’, ‘LP’, ‘OLP’, ‘PDT’, applying filters 'clinical trial' and 'randomized clinical trial'.

Conclusions: Photodynamic therapy is a promising method for treating oral mucosal lesions in LP. Clinical studies show comparable efficacy to topically applied steroids, with minimal reported adverse effects.
History of state and civilisational development of Russia by Russian thinkers of the XIX century: theoretical and historical analysis
Authors: Balakhonsky Vitaly
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The phase of worldwide civilisational conflict that is currently taking place in the international arena urges the importance of appealing to the domestic experience in understanding the history of the state and civilisational development of our country, its scientific and theoretical reflection in the works of great philosophers.One cannot understand the state and civilisational peculiarities of Russia unless they examine the experience of the past, retrospective analysis of the tendencies of their formation and evolution. A serious heuristic problem associated with the research is the long-term period of its neglect in Soviet science and its repression to the margins of attention in the post-Soviet period caused by dominance of pro-western and neoliberal studies. The aim of the research is to conduct a theoretical and historical analysis of the most important conceptual approaches made by Russian thinkers of the XIX century V. S. Soloviev, E. N. Trubetskoy, N. A. Berdyaev, N. I. Kareev and A. S. Khomyakov related to the study of the statehood history development. Methods. The main methodological principles of the research were the principles of comprehensiveness and integrity of the study of the history of the state and civilisational development of Russia, the unity of historical and logical, the principle of ascending from the abstract to the concrete. The methodological basis of the research included the systematic method, ensuring the integrity of the perception of the object studied; comparative-historical method, allowing to consider the subject in its evolution; axiological method, contributing to the identification of the most significant conceptual approaches to understand the issues studied. General scientific and special methods of legal research were used. Results. The paper revealed the methodological meaning of moral potential of the conceptual understanding of the Russian civilisation. The author examined the evolution of the semantic content of the concept ‘humanism’ in its traditional, neo-liberal and modern patriotic interpretation, and studied the problem of the conflict of civilisations: its essence and determinants.
The role of doctrine in criminal procedure regulation
Authors: Prohorova Ekaterina
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The The author researches the role of legal doctrine in the regulation of relations in the sphere of criminal proceedings.It is noted that the differences in the positions of scientists regarding the recognition of legal doctrine as a source of Russian law are derived from the differentiation of views on the concepts of “doctrine” and “source of law”. There are two types of legal doctrine: doctrine as a set of provisions of legal science (scientific legal doctrine) and doctrine as official documents of doctrinal nature (official doctrine). The term “source of law” is used in two meanings - as a law-forming factor, the beginning, the origin of law (material source of law) and as a form of law, a way of establishing legal norms (formal-legal source of law). The possibility of relating the designated types of legal doctrine to substantive and formal-legal sources of criminal procedural law is analysed. Methods. Methods of analysis, synthesis, formal-legal, logical, sociological and other methods of scientific cognition formed the methodological basis of the research. Results. The author has concluded that legal doctrine is a material source and the most important tool of cognition of criminal procedural law. The author argues that legal doctrine cannot be recognised as a formal-legal source of criminal procedural law.
Compensatory and restorative functions of criminal law
Authors: Sluchevskaya Yulia
Published: December 2024

Introduction. At the present stage of social development, criminal law is characterised by compensatory and restorative functions. The purpose of the study is to substantiate this position. The author sets the following objectives in the study: to study the main approaches to defining the concepts of “function of law” and “function of criminal law”; to explore how the science of criminal law has evolved towards recognising an increasing number of functions inherent in the relevant branch of law; to identify the reasons for the absence of a clear division between compensatory and restorative mechanisms in domestic criminal law; to consider the specifics of implementing compensatory and restorative mechanisms when bringing a person to criminal liability and, from this perspective, to assess such criminal law measures as confiscation of property and a judicial fine. Methods. General and specific methods were used in the study: historical, system-structural, formal-logical, comparative-legal. Results. At the present stage of social development, criminal law is characterised by compensatory and restorative functions. Each of them should be considered independently. The identification of these two functions in the domestic doctrine is largely associated with the history of the formation of the legal system of our country. Compensatory and restorative functions inherent in criminal law are legal. Proving the validity of their allocation, one should rely on the general provisions of the theory of law, a unified approach to understanding the functions of law and their content, developed by legal scholars. The introduction of norms into Russian criminal legislation providing for the implementation of compensatory and restorative mechanisms, and the practice of their application have shown that there is a real need for such legal institutions.
Setting the Limits of Legal Regulation in the Interpretation Activity of Higher Judicial Courts
Authors: Zaitseva Ekaterina
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The requirement to establish the limits of legal regulation arises in the implementation of various types of legal activities, such as law-making, interpretive and lawenforcement ones. A special place in setting the limits of legal regulation in the interpretation activity is occupied by the highest judicial courts – the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. The aim of the research: to identify the peculiarities and significance of setting the limits of legal regulation in the interpretation activity of higher courts. The methods of research: general scientific (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction, analogy, system-structural, etc.) and private-scientific (comparative-legal, formal-legal, method of interpretation of legal norms, etc.). Results. The setting of the limits of legal regulation in the interpretative activity carried out by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has its own peculiarities both in relation to law-making activity and in relation to each other. The peculiarities of setting the limits of legal regulation in this type of activity of the highest judicial courts are their secondary nature and form of reflection (interpretative acts with normative content).Secondary defines the specificity of the criteria, which will differ significantly from the criteria for identifying and setting the limits of legal regulation in lawmaking activities. In the activities of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the criteria for establishing the limits of legal regulation are constitutional and legal values and (or) principles, while in the activities of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation - exclusively the principles of law as they are enshrined and reflected in the current legislation. The requirement to establish the limits of legal regulation in the interpretative activity is conditioned by uncertainty as one of the properties of law and can be expressed in two forms: positive and negative. The vision of the limits of legal regulation by the highest judicial instances is important for both the legislator and the law enforcer.
Delineation of an attempted murder from crimes with related corpus delicti in cases of domestic violence
Authors: Shchepelkov Vladislav , Ivanova Evgeniya
Published: December 2024

Introduction. A team of scientists from St. Petersburg State University, with the support of the Russian Science Foundation, carries out a set of studies within the framework of the project “Legal regulation of countering domestic violence in the Russian Federation”. A separate block monitors studies of the practice of applying criminal legislation in cases of domestic violence. One of the monitoring studies is devoted to the analysis of the application of Art. 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Research methods. According to a random sample, 69 judicial acts on murder cases issued by the first instance courts of the Russian Federation during the period 2020-2023 and posted in the public domain, were studied. Results. In the course of the study, it was found that the greatest difficulties in qualifying domestic murders is the question of delineation of an attempted murder from crimes with related modus operandi, and the main problem is the assessment of the direction of the perpetrator's intent. According to the results of the study, the authors concluded that additional clarifications of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation are necessary: 1) it should be pointed out that positive behaviour at the stage of the completed attempted murder should be regarded as post-criminal behaviour; 2) it is advisable to emphasise the situation of the completed attempted murder in the case when there is a commission of actions in which the perpetrator foresees the inevitability of death. It makes sense to give examples of such actions: striking with the help of weapons or objects replacing them, blows to the area of vital organs (head, neck, heart area), etc.; 3) it is also required to indicate that the very fact of committing such actions, if death has not occurred, is qualified as an attempted murder, regardless of the subsequent behaviour of the perpetrator (including the termination of actions aimed at depriving life, providing assistance to the victim).

The article deals with the organisation of transport, the quality of transport services, their pricing, and other critical aspects. The implementation of these powers of local administration is one of the brightest examples of real interaction between federal, regional and municipal authorities in order to improve the general standard of living and well-being of the population anywhere in the populated territory of the Russian Federation. Purpose of the study. To analyse the activities of public authorities on the issues of transport services for the population of municipal entities and to present scientifically valid and practically significant proposals to improve the implementation of the specified powers of local self-government bodies. Methods. The research used general scientific methods, such as scientific literature analysis, normative legal acts analysis, comparative analysis, generalisation of the theory and practice on implementation of powers of public administration bodies regarding transport services for the population of municipal entities. The results of the study consist in the fact that based on the analysis of the municipal authorities’ activities on provision of transport services, a number of main directions for improving the implementation of the powers under consideration have been identified, and specific measures for their implementation have been proposed.
Silicon oxide etching mechanism by hydrogen fluoride and methanol vapor mixture
Authors: Ohtake Hiroto , Hattori Takashi , Yamada Masaki
Published: December 2024

We investigate mechanisms of silicon dioxide (SiO2) etching involving hydrogen fluoride (HF) and a methanol (CH3OH) vapor mixture, particularly, the contributions of water (H2O) and CH3OH. H2O might come from the injected gases, chamber wall, and the SiO2 films, but the amount is very small. Instead, during the etching process, two molecules of H2O are generated, which might affect SiO2 etching. Considering no incubation time and stable etching rates by adding CH3OH, CH3OH could be a primary catalyst according to our investigations. Accordingly, we can suggest a SiO2 etching mechanism by HF and CH3OH. The mixture gases of HF and CH3OH are exposed to the SiO2 surface. When the HF and CH3OH pressures are high enough for condensation on the SiO2 surface, a thin condensed layer is generated. Hydrogen fluoride can be easily soluble to the condensed layer, at which it is ionized causing the etching of SiO2. A high enough concentration of byproducts generates vapor silicon terafluoride and H2O, enabling etching to proceed.
Exploring the Intersection of Sustainability and Cultural Dynamics in the UAE Fashion Industry: A Literary Review
Authors:   Business Studies, University of the People, Pasadena, California, USA., Sarmah Dr. Tapati
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the barriers and challenges to adopting sustainable practices in the UAE fashion industry through the lens of Institutional Theory. Employing secondary research and a thematic analysis approach, the study identifies critical themes such as supply chain transparency, green raw material sourcing, energy-efficient manufacturing, waste management, and inclusive labor practices. Findings reveal that sustainability efforts are hindered by regulatory gaps, consumer skepticism, high costs, and limited accessibility to eco-friendly resources. Despite growing consumer demand for sustainable fashion, systemic issues such as greenwashing and inadequate infrastructure persist. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive policy reforms, enhanced stakeholder collaboration, and educational campaigns to raise awareness. It contributes empirically by highlighting actionable strategies and theoretically expanding Institutional Theory to a non-Western, emerging market context. These insights aim to facilitate the integration of sustainable practices and inform future research in sustainability transitions within similar markets.

O mioma uterino, também conhecido como fibroma uterino ou leiomioma, é o tumor benigno mais comum do trato reprodutivo feminino. A miomectomia uterina é o procedimento cirúrgico indicado para a remoção de miomas uterinos, visando preservar o útero e a fertilidade da paciente. É considerada uma alternativa terapêutica frente a miomas sintomáticos que não respondem a tratamentos clínicos, como medicamentos hormonais. A importância deste artigo reside em seu potencial para contribuir com a atualização e ampliação do conhecimento sobre os avanços nas técnicas cirúrgicas para o tratamento de miomas uterinos. Dada a alta prevalência de miomas entre as mulheres em idade fértil e os desafios relacionados ao tratamento conservador e cirúrgico dessa condição, a compreensão dos benefícios da cirurgia robótica pode auxiliar médicos e profissionais da saúde na escolha do tratamento mais adequado. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, a qual investigou sobre a abordagem robótica da miomectomia uterina, pela coleta de dados nas plataformas PubMed, LILACS, Periódicos CAPES, EMBASE e Scielo. Assim,   a análise dos estudos revisados revela que a miomectomia robótica tem se consolidado como uma abordagem eficaz e segura no tratamento de miomas uterinos, com vantagens notáveis, especialmente em termos de redução da perda sanguínea, menor taxa de conversão e maior precisão operatória, em comparação com as técnicas laparoscópica e abdominal. Embora os tempos operatórios tendam a ser mais longos em procedimentos robóticos, esses métodos demonstram resultados similares às abordagens laparoscópicas em termos de taxas de complicações, taxas de gravidez e dores pós-operatórias, com a robótica proporcionando melhor exposição cirúrgica e destreza. Em comparação com a miomectomia abdominal, a robótica apresenta menores taxas de transfusão sanguínea e complicações, além de proporcionar uma

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN RUBBER PRODUCT MARKETING
Authors: Ashish Babubhai Sakariya
Published: December 2024

The rubber products industry has always been part and parcel of most manufacturing industries, offering critical inputs into sectors such as the automobile, aerospace, healthcare, and construction sectors, among others. Traditionally, the marketing of rubber products had been done through traditional forms of marketing like trade shows, printed advertisements, and door-to-door selling. However, the revolution within the digital age has emerged with a new epoch in the practice of marketing where technologies are used for increased access, interaction, and operation effectiveness. The process of digital transformation in marketing involves the integration of digital technologies into every phase of marketing, thereby transforming the nature and the way business is done and adding value to customers. This kind of transformation is more about adopting new technologies as well as a change in culture towards data-driven decision-making, customer-centric approaches, and innovative business models. This paper will try to explain the impact of digital transformation on the marketing of rubber products. Based on the implementation of digital technologies and methodologies, this paper tries to focus on the benefits, challenges, and future trends of this dynamic environment. The paper is central in arguing that digital transformation needs to be implemented by the rubber product sector to maintain competitiveness and evolve according to new market conditions.
Leveraging semantic web rule languages to define modeling assumptions for the structural analysis of unreinforced masonry buildings
Authors: Leonardi Maria Laura , Cursi Stefano , Gigliarelli Elena , Oliveira Daniel V. , Azenha Miguel
Published: December 2024

The seismic assessment of existing unreinforced masonry structures is particularly complex. Defining the correct modelling assumptions is essential when using global models to ensure valid results. Achieving this often requires the collaboration of a group of stakeholders with diverse backgrounds who can thoroughly study the structure under consideration. Field-collected data must then be compared with existing literature and regulations before proceeding to the computational model. This phase is particularly labour-intensive, and errors, data loss, or duplication are common pitfalls. The advent of new digital data management methods can improve this methodology. Specifically, a linked data approach based on web ontology language can enhance interoperability between different research areas and enable the formal and comprehensive representation of data to facilitate informed decision-making. This article presents a new method based on linked data for defining modelling assumptions for analytical models used in the seismic analysis of existing unreinforced masonry buildings. Two complementary ontologies are proposed: the Historic Masonry Ontology and the Failure Masonry Ontology. The former defines the mechanical properties of masonry material, while the latter defines the most plausible collapse modes evidenced by earthquakes. In particular, this is achieved through Semantic Web Rules Language (SWRL), which interprets geometric and material data introduced into the ontology. The methodology is successfully applied in a real case study.

Despite its great potential, Augmented Reality (AR) still struggles to be widely used in real processes in the construction industry. This is mainly due to limitations associated with current AR registration methodologies, including the lack of continuity between different scenarios, drifts over distances, and the need to prepare the scene in advance with alignment infrastructures and to resort to manual registration procedures. In addition, users may not be skilled enough or allowed to prepare the considered environment, since this is a task that requires a significant amount of measurement and calibration. To promote the application of AR in Facility Management (FM), which typically involves both complex indoor and outdoor environments, an automatic localization method is needed, thus providing accurate AR registration in mixed and unprepared environments. In order to fill this gap, a system implementing a markerless approach for seamless indoor-outdoor AR registration has been developed by integrating multiple AR registration engines with a cloud platform. These engines, primarily relying on Global Navigation Satellite Systems Real-Time Kinematic (GNSS-RTK) and Computer Vision (CV) technologies, are managed by an additional system component that automatically assigns priority depending on the current scenario. The system proposed in this study is tested on site on an FM use case related to a university campus for qualitative assessment. Furthermore, a quantitative assessment of the system’s accuracy is also performed. In both evaluations, the system shows very promising results in terms of (i) applicability for FM operations, and (ii) accuracy. Specifically, BIM holograms are automatically superimposed to their real counterparts seamlessly, in mixed indoor-outdoor scenarios, without manual procedures, demonstrating applicability of the proposed approach in unprepared environments. In terms of accuracy, the AR overlaying discrepancies in outdoor and indoor scenarios (D_(L-SQ)) result equals 0.090 m and 0.082 m with a maximum among all the analyzed scenes (D_M) of 0.075 m and 0.071 m, respectively. Given these results, the work presented in this paper provides a substantial contribution to the dissemination of AR technologies in the FM field and to the support of FM activities in terms of better coordination, visualization, communication and on-field access to high-quality information. This paper extends the work presented at the 23rd International Conference on Construction Applications of Virtual Reality (CONVR 2023).

Статья посвящена характеристикам формирования бюджетов субъектов Федерации, а также экономическим аспектам доходной базы регионов в условиях внутренних и внешних рисков. Современные экономико-политические условия предъявляют особые требования к государству в вопросах способности к быстрому реагированию и наличию резервов для эффективного преодоления кризисных ситуаций.
Российская Федерация является крупнейшим государством, число субъектов которого последние годы растет (в 2023 году в России появилось 4 новых субъекта). Социально-экономическое положение граждан напрямую зависит от экономического развития субъектов, в которых они проживают. В свою очередь, эффективное выполнение государственных задач со стороны органов власти возможно только в случае бюджетной обеспеченности. Для финансирования расходов требуется достаточный уровень доходов бюджета. При эффективной бюджетной политике идеальным считается бюджетный механизм, при котором в совокупном объеме доходов преобладают собственные поступления, в частности, налоговые поступления.
Период 2021-2023 гг. был для российской экономики и её субъектов турбулентным. Посткризисный период и санкционное давление вынудило органы государственной власти применять определенный набор экономических инструментов для стабилизации всех сфер экономики в кратчайшие сроки.

На современном этапе развития экономики залогом финансово-экономической стабильности национальной экономики является наличие фирм, непрерывно занимающих прочные позиции в нарастающих условиях жесткой конкурентной борьбы за более качественные итоговые показатели и способных не сдавать эти позиции. По своей сути экономическая, а также общая денежная устойчивость коммерческой структуры будет являться результатом воздействия и взаимодействия целого набора различных признаков, к числу которых потребуется отнести: без опозданий обнаруживать воздействие как внутренних, так и внешних условий; оперативное выявление движущих сил, оказывающих воздействие на показатели не только экономической, но и в целом денежно-материальной устойчивости коммерческой структуры.
До сих пор ведутся серьезные споры внутри экспертной среды в отношении создания специального комплекса инструментов, которые будут давать практическую возможность заниматься осуществлением оценки не только показателей устойчивости предприятия, но и его будущего с учетом особенностей современных экономических и финансовых условий.
Крайне важно заниматься детальным изучением подобной многогранной проблемы с учетом специфики динамического развития отечественной экономической среды при одновременном определении не только теоретической, но и практической значимости выбранной в рамках данной темы исследования.
