Silent Dilemmas of Project Managers
Authors: Djolic Matija Radomir
Published: October 2024

A fastidious investigation into the nature of self-identity, Silent Dilemmas of Project Managers uses the context of project management to challenge the perceived separation of objective experience from subjective perception. Positioning self-identity as the basis of one’s ongoing being-in-the-world, Djolic explores the relationship between our inner dialogues and the surrounding world, highlighting the problematic role our adopted self-notions play in producing negative experiences. In doing so, we are presented with a compelling case for viewing the subject’s self as the object of existential anxiety, as well as a framework for more comprehensive, existential therapy within business settings.

Authors: Wolff Leal Tarcisio , Da Silva Júnior Afonso Henrique , Vieira de Oliveira Patrícia , De Oliveira Martins Müller Júlia , Silva de Oliveira Carlos Rafael
Published: October 2024

O hidrogênio verde, produzido a partir de fontes renováveis como a biomassa lignocelulósica, é uma alternativa promissora na substituição dos combustíveis fósseis. A gaseificação, por sua vez, é uma das principais rotas de processo termoquímico para a produção de hidrogênio verde. Este artigo revisa os avanços nas pesquisas sobre gaseificação de biomassa lignocelulósica para a produção de hidrogênio verde entre os anos de 2019 e 2024. A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados Scopus e Science Direct, utilizando as palavras-chave "gaseificação", "lignocelulósica" e "biomassa" para identificar os artigos mais relevantes. A partir desse estudo, foi possível compreender que a composição da biomassa lignocelulósica influencia diretamente a eficiência da gaseificação e a qualidade do gás de síntese; a umidade, o teor de cinzas e a composição elementar da biomassa são fatores importantes a serem considerados; a gaseificação convencional, a gaseificação a vapor, a gaseificação em água supercrítica, a gaseificação em múltiplas etapas e a gaseificação em loop químico são os principais processos de gaseificação utilizados para a produção de hidrogênio verde. Ao comparar cada processo, verificou-se que cada um apresenta características, vantagens e desvantagens específicas. Além disso, processos avançados como a gaseificação térmica solar, a gaseificação assistida por micro-ondas e a gaseificação por plasma também têm sido estudados para a produção de hidrogênio verde. A otimização dos processos de gaseificação, o desenvolvimento de catalisadores mais eficientes e a integração da gaseificação com outros sistemas de produção de energia renovável são alguns dos desafios a serem superados para tornar a produção de hidrogênio verde, a partir de biomassa lignocelulósica, mais viável e competitiva. Por fim, a gaseificação de biomassa lignocelulósica é uma tecnologia promissora para a produção de hidrogênio verde, com potencial para contribuir para a descarbonização da matriz energética global. Pesquisas contínuas são necessárias para otimizar os processos de gaseificação, reduzir custos e aumentar a eficiência da produção de hidrogênio verde.

The Effect of Dry Immersion on the Characteristics of Joystick Control during the Performance of a Visual-Motor Task in Men and Women
Authors: Miller N. V. , Zobova L. N. , Badakva A. M.
Published: October 2024

A study of the effect of Dry Immersion (DI) on the characteristics of joystick control during a visual-motor task in men and women was conducted. It is shown that in the first days of DI there is a deterioration in the performance of the visual-motor task – an increase in time indicators and a decrease in movement accuracy. By the end of DI, most of the parameters returned to the control level indicating the adaptation of the hand movement control mechanisms to immersion conditions. However, despite the similarity of the effect of DI on changes in the parameters of movement trajectories in men and women, it was shown that both in control and in DI, women performed the presented visual-motor task faster and more accurately due to a longer latency time. In the early days of DI, the characteristics of task performance in women changed less than in men, which indicated a better adaptation of women to the conditions of DI. In the process of adaptation to DI factors, men and women had different strategies for performing visual-motor tasks.
The Second Session of the 14th National People's Congress: Outcomes of China's Legislative Development in 2023
Authors: Troshchinskiy P. V
Published: October 2024

The regular (second) session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), held in March 2024, summarized the key outcomes of China's socio-economic and legislative development in the second year following the 20th CPC National Congress (October 2022). According to established tradition, the third plenum of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC should have been held on the eve of the parliamentary session, with its decisions typically focusing on the country's economic development. In turn, the decisions of the NPC are based on the work of the plenum, often taking the form of laws. However, in 2024, although the plenum did not take place, the NPC session proceeded as scheduled, with no changes to its working agenda. In the report of the State Council’s Premier, it was noted that China's GDP growth reached 5.2 %, one of the highest figures among both developing and developed countries. In the legislative sphere, in 2023, the Chinese parliament, represented by the Standing Committee of the NPC, passed a number of important laws for the country's legal system, and several existing laws were amended. Of particular note are the Law on Foreign Relations, which outlines the key principles of China's foreign policy, and the Law on the Immunity of Foreign States, which replaced the previously existing principle of "absolute immunity" with "limited immunity." In the fight against corruption, significant changes were made through the 12th amendments to the Criminal Law of the PRC. Additionally, legislative decisions focused on developing a mechanism to counter growing challenges and threats to Chinese statehood, finding adequate responses to sanction policies, implementing measures to create a stable financial and banking system, and strengthening the military amid rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea.
The Role of International Cooperation in the Chinese Food Security Strategy
Authors: Smirnova V. A
Published: October 2024

China's food security strategy is based on the principle of self-reliance. In the light of its historical experience, Beijing approaches the issue of attracting external resources in this area with caution. The integration of external vector into the national strategy has been gradual, from the assumption that external resources can be used in critical situations to a comprehensive vision of how they can contribute to domestic development. Along the way, China has progressively introduced measures to support domestic producers under the "bringing in" and "going out" policies and to promote international cooperation in food and agriculture. This was designed to reduce the pressure on domestic resources and contribute to the formation of a supportive external environment that favours the development of modern agriculture at home. As a result, there has been adopted the formula "utilising two markets, two resources": the external vector has become an important complementary element in ensuring food security. Along with its integration into the national strategy, there are trends towards systematising and scaling up. Under Xi Jinping's leadership, there has been strengthened interministerial coordination in planning the development of international cooperation in food and agriculture and expanded the tools used, from innovative formats for science and technology cooperation to more active participation in the global governance agenda on food security. In its efforts to shape a supportive external environment, China is endeavouring to take a proactive stance. This is reflected both in greater involvement in regional and international organisations on the food and agriculture agenda and in the promotion of its own initiatives.

Authors: Pikover A. V
Published: October 2024

Today, China has achieved tremendous success in the field of information technology and is actively promoting the modernization of the country and increasing its competitiveness in the world through progressive digitalization and informatization of all sectors of life and production. With more than a billion registered users of the global information network, actively using the scientific and educational potential of the country, China keeps information policy in the zone of close attention, as evidenced, in particular, by the fact that it was created in 2014. Since its creation, the Central Commission of the CPC Central Committee on Internet Security and Informatization has been personally headed by Xi Jinping. China is aware of the serious risks associated with the development of AI, but also understands the importance of this area for further development and improving the country's competitiveness. In this regard, the political leadership is taking systematic steps and measures for the healthy and safe development of this area in the country and in the world. The information sphere is no less important for Russia, especially in the context of attempts to isolate it and displace it to the global periphery, therefore, in the current conditions, the topic of cooperation with China in the field of information technology is of particular priority for Russia. This is evidenced by its inclusion in the final joint Russian-Chinese statement of May 16, 2024 following the meeting of the heads of state in Beijing. The article examines the general situation of the formation of AI regulatory tools in the world and, above all, in the PRC. A number of documents adopted by the country's top political leadership, as well as expert assessments and opinions, were reviewed.
North Korea’s Nuclear Missile Potential Issue in Japanese Policy: Trends and Prospects
Authors: Domakhina Yulia A.
Published: October 2024

The situation on the Korean Peninsula in recent years has been characterized by rising tensions, one of the reasons for which is related to the development of North Korea’s nuclear missile program. Having achieved notable success in nuclear missile development, the DPRK continues to consistently modernise its nuclear capabilities and increase the number of missile tests. North Korean activity is of serious concern to the countries of the region, in particular to Japan, whose policy towards Pyongyang is driven by the unwillingness to have a military strong country near its territory. The author analyses Tokyo’s current policy towards the DPRK, which involves active containment of the so-called North Korean threat. One of Japan’s approaches involves strengthening military cooperation with the US and ROK, including the expansion of cooperation in the field of missile defence, regular consultations and military exercises, the creation of a data exchange mechanism.

Published: October 2024

Early Asbestos Ware was spreading in the second half of the 5th – early 4th mil. BC in southeastern Finland. Complexes with similar pottery are also known in Russia: on the Karelian Isthmus, in Karelia, and on the Kola Peninsula. In this study, 23 sites were identified that contain the Early Asbestos Ware (at least 49 vessels). The considered materials generally correspond to the typological division of Kaunissaari and Ka I:2asb Ware, but they have originality in decoration. There are traits in ornamentation similar with the Sperrings 2 Ware, common in Finland, but not with the Karelian version of Sperrings as well as with Pit-Comb Ware. XRD analysis showed the presence of anthophyllite in six fragments of Early Asbestos Ware analyzed during the study, so it could be interpreted as the evidence of an impulse from the Lake Saimaa area.
Bone and antler products from the Toretskoye urban settlement of the 15th century ad
Authors: Valiulina Svetlana I.
Published: October 2024

Products made of bone and antler complement the characteristics of the material culture of the Toretskoye urban settlement, a major centre of crafts and international trade in the Kazan Khanate. In accordance with the general dating of the single-layer site, all items made of bone and antler have a reliable period of existence within the 15th century AD. Based on frequent numismatic material and other related context, the products receive the status of a chronological and, in some cases, ethnocultural reference point, and in terms of inventory and manufacturing techniques they represent products of urban production. No specialized bone-carving workshops have been found at the site; however, the presence of blanks and faulty products in the coppersmith and blacksmith workshops makes it possible to conclude that bone and antler processing was a related craft of complex production.

Authors: Fatyunina Olesya A.
Published: October 2024

In medieval worldview, leather objects were often regarded as attributes of magical rituals. The article presents the results of studying a unique leather artifact with organic filling discovered during excavations in the Kremlin of Pereyaslavl Ryazansky (modern Ryazan) at the Vvedensky excavation site. The find comes from the mid-15th century cultural layer. Examination of the contents of this leather bag revealed particles of a snake, which gives grounds for attributing the find as a medieval amulet. Despite church prohibitions, the tradition of wearing such talismans is well known from written and ethnographic sources and is observed among a number of peoples. This first leather talisman found among the archaeological material of Pereyaslavl Ryazansky confirms the fact that the snake cult, which had originated in the Palaeolithic, continued to play an important role in worldviews of later periods. The leather amulet with a particle of a water snake makes it possible to clarify certain aspects of Russian medieval beliefs.

The Galodo disaster that struck Jorong Panti, Rambatan District, Tanah Datar, not only caused physical damage but also had a significant impact on the psychosocial condition of the community. The loss of homes, family members, and livelihoods created a need for assistance that goes beyond material support, emphasizing the importance of psychosocial care. This community service program aimed to restore the psychosocial condition of disaster victims, reduce post-disaster trauma, enhance community skills and knowledge, and support local economic recovery. The method used in this service was Participatory Action Research (PAR), allowing direct community involvement in the recovery process. Activities included psychological support for families and children, reviving Quranic learning programs (TPA) that had stopped, enhancing early childhood literacy through storytelling and drawing, and organizing political education to prepare for local elections, as well as entrepreneurship workshops to reignite the survivors' work spirit and improve their skills. The results of this program show that the psychosocial assistance provided successfully reduced trauma impacts, particularly on children, and increased community participation in social and religious activities. Additionally, the entrepreneurship and political education programs contributed positively to local economic recovery and improved the community’s political awareness. In the final week, the program concluded with religious competitions and cultural performances as a form of appreciation and an effort to strengthen social traditions and values. In conclusion, this community service program had a positive impact on the psychosocial and economic recovery of the Jorong Panti community following the Galodo disaster by actively involving the community in every phase of recovery

Published: October 2024

COVID-19 is severe respiratory and systemic disease with complex pathogenesis and many clinical symptoms, including symptoms from respiratory system, immunology system, cardio-vascular system, haematopoietic system and neurological system. Severe character of the disease is associated with occurrence of respiratory failure, septic shock, multiple organ dysfunctions syndrome, which can lead to patients death due to cardiac arrest.
Knowledge about interactions between the virus and human proteins as well as knowledge of immunological mechanisms against infection is a key to identifying the area of virus activity and severity factors of COVID-19. Multiple variants of genes encoding proteins involved in host cell invasion by SARS-CoV-2 virus have been identified: ACE2 i TMPRSS2, TMPRSS11A (HGNC:27954), ELANE (HGNC:3309) oraz CTSL (HGNC:2537), IL-6 rs1800795 variant associated with an increased risk of COVID-19, variant rs35705950:G>T located in the promoter of the MUC5B gene (11p15.5), encoding a protein that plays a key role in maintaining the proper function of the bronchoalveolar epithelium, having a protective effect against the form of the disease requiring hospitalization of the patient, as well as GC rs2282679 gene variant in the vitamin D binding protein associated with a more severe course of COVID-19. 48 of these variants were proved to be directly specific for some populations.
Novel techniques of genome analysis enabled the research of the impact of specific polymorphism variants on the severity of various diseases including, COVID-19. Genetic factors analysis can permit understanding of disease pathogenesis, which is a chance to find effective treatment and prevention methods. Collected data from literature indicate that, in the case of COVID-19 disease, there are genes polymorphisms which affect the severity course.

Unraveling the Hidden Costs: How Cable Theft and Vandalism Fuel Soaring Energy Tariffs in Emerging Economies
Authors: Nawaz Farrukh , Kayani Umar , Aysan Ahmet Faruk
Published: October 2024

Escalating utility costs and challenging financial circumstances make it increasingly difficult for consumers to afford essential services. This financial strain also spills over into the workplace, where employees resort to pilfering company assets, resulting in significant annual losses for these utility firms. Our study aims to identify the organizational factors and individual personality traits that motivate employees to engage in cable theft and vandalism, subsequently driving up tariffs. Utilizing the frameworks of the Reasoned Action Theory (TRA) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), we seek to elucidate the underlying motivations for such theft and destruction of property. Factors such as an unsatisfactory work environment, perceived unfair treatment by management, subpar wages, and easy opportunities for theft are identified as key motivators. To effectively mitigate these issues, targeted policy measures and strategies need to be implemented to influence employee attitudes and perceptions, thereby reducing incidents of theft and vandalism.

Authors: Asmal Ridwaan , Moodley Marlini
Published: October 2024

There were a number of mergers and acquisition (M&A) and hostile take overs in South Africa over the past decade and half. Companies in a M&A are in most instances preoccupied in pursuit of increasing the shareholder value and securing the biggest market share through effective branding. The research objectives of the study were to evaluate the effectiveness of mergers and acquisitions in relation to its image as a brand and to provide recommendations in respect of future merger and acquisition deals for an organisation. The study adopted the quantitative method of research by means of a survey questionnaire and the target population for this study was 310 managers (in the financial services sector) in Kwazulu-Natal. Relevant descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data collected. The research findings uncovered that from a turnaround perspective in mergers and acquisition deals, brand image should be skilfully and appealingly crafted to generate the desired return on investment. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by revealing that institutions who merge in the financial services sector consolidate their position in the market if brand image is aligned to the institution’s strategy. A fortified brand image results in greater market share.

This study aims to analyze the protein content in various types of fruit chips, including banana chips, papaya chips, and pineapple chips, using the Kjeldahl method. This method was chosen for its ability to measure nitrogen levels, which can be converted into protein content. The results showed that the protein content in papaya chips ranged from 5.150% to 5.462%, in banana chips from 3.250% to 3.762%, and in pineapple chips from 3.169% to 3.919%. Based on these findings, papaya chips have the highest protein content compared to banana and pineapple chips. Factors influencing the difference in protein content include the composition of the fruit, the processing methods, and the drying techniques used in making the chips. The conclusion of this study is that the Kjeldahl method is effective for analyzing the protein content in various types of fruit chips. Papaya chips have the highest protein content, making them a superior choice in terms of nutritional value compared to banana and pineapple chips. This research is expected to serve as a reference for the development of more nutritious fruit chip products.

Simple Analysis Using Immunohistochemical Staining for Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Brain Metastasis of Small Cell Lung Cancer
Authors: Park Da Hyun , Kim Young Zoon
Published: October 2024

Background: We investigated the distribution of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and the expression of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in patients with brain metastasis (BM) from small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 12 surgical specimens of BMs from SCLC at our institute for 5 years. The Immunofluorescence-based Tissue Microenvironment Analysis Panel (MAP) was utilized for the detection of TILs, including CD3, CD8, PD-1, and PD-L1, in pathological archival specimens of BMs. The correlation between the overall survival (OS) and the above-mentioned markers was analyzed in the patients.Results: Positive rates of CD3+ TILs in the tumor parenchyma versus tumor stroma were 0.60±0.94% versus 1.76±2.72% (p=0.010), respectively; positive rates of CD8+ TILs in the tumor parenchyma versus tumor stroma were 0.80±0.78% versus 2.46±3.72% (p=0.016), respectively. There was no co-expression of CD8+ and PD-1+ TILs in the tumor parenchyma of 11 cases, and the infiltration density of co-expressed CD3+ and PD-1+ TILs was more than 10/mm2 in only 1 case. There was no co-expression of CD3+ and PD-1+ TIL in the stroma of 10 cases, and the infiltration density of CD8+ and PD-1+ TILs was more than 10/mm2 in 2 cases. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of PD-L1 in 12 cases of BMs, and 3 cases (25%) were positive. Survival analysis showed that patients with positive CD3+ TILs had significantly longer OS (p=0.040). Conclusions: The distribution of TILs in BM of SCLC is low and mainly distributed in the stroma, with the low expression of PD-L1 in the tumor tissues.

ПЕРЕВАГИ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ RHINO.INSIDE
Authors: Давидов Анатолій , Нестеренко В’ячеслав
Published: October 2024

Метою даної статті є вивчення доцільності використання плагіну Rhino.Inside під час розробки архітектурних об’єктів та проєктування інтер’єрних рішень. Нами розглянуте поєднання BIM-моделювання (Building Information Modeling) з точним параметричним програмним забезпеченням на прикладі Revit (BIM) та Rhinoceros/Grasshopper відповідно. Процес моделювання виконується в Rhinoceros/Grasshopper з усіма перевагами BIM, який відтворюється в реальному часі у вікні Revit, яке було експортоване за допомогою плагіну Rhino. Inside®.Revit, завдяки чому команди генеруються миттєво. Це означає, що плагін Rhino.Inside®.Revit контактує з програмами Rhino і Revit, даючи їм змогу працювати в одному середовищі. Такі програмні забезпечення поєднуються з різною метою, проте нами розглянуті два основних поєднання: безпосереднє проєктування (фасади, ландшафт, розробка планувальних рішень) та створення «families» (далі сімейств) для Revit на базі Rhinoceros/ Grasshopper з подальшим редагуванням основних кастомних елементів у системі BIM. Важливим фактором користування будь-яким програмним забезпеченням є наявність наукової бази, навчальних майданчиків та матеріалів у вільному доступі державною мовою для тих, хто опановує програму. На україномовному просторі дуже мало інформації щодо Rhino.Inside®.Revit. Це і є одним з важливих факторів неактивного використання цих інструментів в Україні. Методи дослідження. Збирання фактів, їхній первинний опис та узагальнення, – усе це дає змогу отримати необхідні первинні відомості для систематизації процесів, представлених у статті та підкреслення важливих аспектів дослідження. Результати дослідження. Плагін Rhino.Inside®.Revit дає змогу Rhinoceros/ Grasshopper і Revit обмінюватися всією доступною інформацією, заощаджуючи час і забезпечуючи максимальну точність під час перенесення моделей з одного середовища в інше і навпаки. На жаль, в Україні Rhino.Inside використовують зрідка, що гальмує розвиток проєктування та моделювання. Висновки. Комбінуючи Rhino і Revit, можливо використовувати всі переваги обох інструментів і отримувати потрібна вам результати.
