Üretimin her aşamasında enerjiye olan talep geçmişten günümüze artan bir seyir izlemektedir. Dolayısı ile sanayileşme süreci ile enerji tüketimi arasında pozitif yönlü güçlü bir ilişki bulunduğu bilinmektedir. Enerjiye olan bağımlılık insanoğlunu bir yandan yeni enerji kaynakları aramaya yönlendirirken, bir yandan da enerjide verimliliği gerçekleştirecek yenilikler için çalışmalara yönlendirmektedir. Üretim süreçlerinde etkin ve önemli bir girdi olarak kullanılan enerji ile bir ekonomide gelir seviyesini artırma arasında güçlü bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Dolayısı ile enerji tüketiminde meydana gelen artış, maliyetleri azaltabilmek adına ekonomileri enerji tasarrufuna yani enerji verimliliğinin artırılmasına yönelik politikalar üzerinde çalışmalara yönlendirmektedir. Bu çalışma G-7 ülkelerinin 1990-2017 yıllık verilerinden faydalanarak enerji tüketimi–enerji verimliliği ilişkisini Jevons Paradoksu çerçevesinde incelemiştir. Ampirik bulgulara göre kişi başı gayri safi yurt içi hasılada meydana gelen yüzde birlik bir artış enerji kullanımını yüzde1.65, enerji ithalatında meydana gelen yüzde birlik bir artış ise enerji kullanımını yüzde 0.72 birim azaltmaktadır. Enerji yoğunluğunda meydana gelen yüzde birlik bir artış ise enerji kullanımını yüzde 0.85 oranında azaltmaktadır.

Published: February 2023

Interest and ideas on semantic segmentation move on the increasing trend in the area of autonomous driving. This meets the rise in the deep learning approach. The first step in the training of a segmentation model is the dataset preparation. For this, RGB images and its corresponding segmentation images are required such that, the size of these remain the same. Each class in the image is assigned with a unique ID. The pixel value in the segmentation image denotes the class ID of the corresponding pixel. Moreover, as jpg format of the image is lossy, bmp or png formats are usually preferred. The success of the model is measured using metrics, which helps in grading the model. This paper deals with the examination of the widely used datasets in the field of semantic segmentation. The mIoU metric of the datasets on various models have been comparative studied at the end of the analysis.

Published: February 2023

The article is dedicated to the generalization of the most relevant scientific approaches to the study of the concept of loneliness, the subjective feeling of loneliness, the disclosure of the meaning and influence of the experience of loneliness in the development of personality. The levels of the subjective feeling of loneliness are empirically identified and described. The article highlights both the scientific and applied significance of research of the subjective feeling of loneliness of students during distance learning. Further prospects for research on this issue are indicated. Loneliness is a complicated socio-psychological phenomenon. Being a personal experience, it is difficult to describe, since its manifestations are always subjective. The ambivalence of loneliness lies in its ambiguous impact on a person - it is often perceived by people as a difficult and painful experience, but it cannot be denied that for personality development it is necessary to be alone from time to time. In the course of the study, an analysis of the phenomenon of loneliness as a socio-psychological phenomenon was carried out. The understanding of this phenomenon from the point of view of various researchers was considered, a number of definitions of the concept of loneliness were given. The analysis of the differences between such concepts as loneliness, isolation and seclusion was carried out and the classifications of types of loneliness were given. A theoretical analysis of such a concept as achievement motivation was also conducted, and the concept of affiliation motivation was briefly analyzed. In the world, the problem of loneliness of students during distance learning is particularly relevant. The development of technology has allowed a person to be in constant contact with a huge amount of information, to contact other people via Internet. But such limitless possibilities have a negative side. Dependence on information, characteristic of a modern person, distances it, plunging into its continuous consumption, depriving time of solitude, contact with one's feelings and thoughts.

Isra' Mikraj dan Shalat "Kemanusiaan"
Authors: Qosim Nanang
Published: February 2023

Kepemimpinan dalam shalat berjamaah dapat dipraktikkan langsung dalam kehidupan nyata. Shalat berjamaah mengisyaratkan keberhasilan kehidupan dengan perolehan derajat yang berlipat. Dalam shalat jamaah, setiap orang yang mengerjakan shalat di dalamnya akan diberi pahala 27 kali lipat dibandingkan dengan shalat sendirian. Kenyataan ini sama halnya dengan kehidupan nyata, saat menyendiri, dipastikan akan banyak ketidakberhasilan dalam beragam hal. Namun saat bergabung, berorganisasi, dan kerja sama dengan baik, dipastikan kesuksesan besar akan menjadi perolehan setiap individu.Shalat berjamaah juga mengajarkan agar seorang imam adalah orang yang paling aqro' (bacaan al-Qur'an-nya bagus), faqih (ahli fikih) dan sebagainya. Sementara makmum harus patuh tunduk kepada apa yang dilakukan imam. Makmum tidak boleh berada di depan atau bergerak lebih dahulu dibanding imam. Jika itu dilakukan, maka shalat makmum dianggap batal.Di samping itu, seorang makmum juga harus mengikuti seluruh gerak-gerik imam, dan mengingatkan saat sang imam lupa mengerjakan rukun fi'li (perbuatan) atau qauli (bacaan). Ini mengisyaratkan dalam kehidupan nyata meski diterapkan adanya kepemimpinan (leadership) yang baik. Seorang pemimpin harus berjiwa leadership, sementara anggotanya juga harus tunduk patuh dan mendukung sang pemimpin, dengan cara mengikuti dan memberikan masukan demi terselenggaranya kepemimpinan yang sempurna.Al-Fatihah yang harus dibaca dalam setiap shalat memiliki pesan cinta kasih yang begitu mendalam. Dimulai dari basmalah, terdapat kata-kata ar-Rahmaan dan ar-Rahiim yang semuanya berarti "kasih sayang", hingga ayat terakhir, ghairi al-maghdlubi 'alaihim wala ad-dhalin (bukan jalan orang-orang yang zalim) adalah pesan cinta Tuhan yang mesti dipraktikkan manusia. Sehingga dari sini, jika saja dalam kehidupan nyata selalu ada nada-nada cinta yang muncul dan dipraktikkan oleh setiap individu kepada siapa pun, dipastikan kehidupan akan berjalan dengan baik. Kemungkaran tidak terjadi di mana-mana.Sementara sujud menjadi bagian penting dalam shalat juga memiliki makna yang luas dalam kehidupan nyata. Dalam sujud dapat diambil hikmah bahwa setiap orang harus mengakui bahwa dirinya adalah sosok yang tidak memiliki apa-apa, tidak patut untuk merasa "paling" dari yang lain. Manusia harus merasa dirinya adalah hina sehingga dapat tunduk kepada Tuhan-nya dan menghormat kepada sesama.Di akhir shalat ada salam. Ini adalah isyarat bahwa seseorang yang telah mengerjakan shalat yang notabene diperuntukkan bagi Tuhannya, harus memulai bersosial, menebar keselamatan kepada siapa pun. Jika dalam shalat seseorang bisa khusyuk, melaksanakan syarat rukunnya dengan baik serta mengingat kepada Allah dengan penuh ketawaduan, serta setelah shalat dapat menebar salam serta bisa menerjemahkan proses shalat ke dalam kehidupan nyata, maka kesalehan kepada Tuhan dan kesalehan kepada sesama akan terwujud. Sehingga dari sini shalat yang dijadikan tanhaa 'anil fahsyaai wal munkar akan terwujud.

Introduction: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), previously known as hydatidosis, is one of the most important zoonotic parasitic diseases of humans and livestock caused by the larval stage of the canine tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato. Cystic echinococcosis has great economic and public health significance with a worldwide distribution. It is listed among the most severe parasitic diseases in humans, representing one of the 17 neglected diseases prioritised by the World Health Organisation. Methods and analyses: This study will review the literature on Echinococcus granulosus control strategies until 2022. This will be achieved by searching for English, Spanish, and Portuguese peer-reviewed articles in the following electronic databases MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Global Index Medicus to locate the relevant articles. We will perform a grey literature search including the American Society of Tropical Medicine Annual Conference Abstract Book from 2017 to 2022, the World Association of Echinococcosis Congress Abstract Book from 2017 to 2022, Google Scholar (first 200 hits), and review the references of the selected articles. No restrictions on study design will be applied. We will develop a systematic search strategy using a combination of keywords and Boolean operators AND/OR. Eligibility screening and data extraction will be conducted by two independent reviewers, and disagreements resolved by a third independent reviewer.

How can we measure metacognition in creative problem-solving? Standardization of the MCPS scale
Authors: Urban Kamila , Urban Marek
Published: February 2023

Creative problem-solving is associated with the resolution of ill-defined tasks where the goals, procedure, and evaluation criteria are not predetermined. Successful problem solvers have to set their own unique goals, develop appropriate strategies, plan individual steps, generate various possible solutions, monitor and regulate the problem-solving process, and evaluate the outcome for novelty and usefulness. The present study aims to standardize the Metacognition in Creative Problem-Solving (MCPS) scale, which captures metacognitive skills (planning, monitoring, regulation, and evaluation) in creative problem-solving. The 11-item instrument was adapted from the widely recognized Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). The representative sample of 350 university students was employed in the exploratory phase, and 110 working professionals were employed in the confirmatory phase. Both the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the item response theory (IRT) examination yielded an excellent reliability of the MCPS scale (ω = .91, and marginal reliability = .92). Moreover, the MCPS scale was correlated with creative performance (r = .26) and absolute accuracy of on-task metacognitive monitoring (r = -.19). The relationship between the MCPS scale and creative performance was stable, even after the controlling for the original MSLQ, suggesting that the MCPS scale is both a reliable and valid instrument that measures metacognition in creative problem-solving in both educational and professional environments.
Mindfulness for the Mental Resilience of Police Officers: A systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Reitsema Manoek , de Hoog Natascha , de Snoo Teun-Pieter
Published: February 2023

The current systematic review and meta-analysis focused on the effectiveness of mindfulness interventions for the mental resilience of police officers. The aim was to determine whether mindfulness can contribute to the increase of mental resilience of police officers by reducing stress-related complaints and/or psychological problems. Through an extensive literature search 651 potential relevant studies were found on EBSCO-host, PubMed and Web of Science. After selection, nine studies with at least a pre-post-intervention design were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Moderate effects were found for the effect of mindfulness interventions for police officers on reducing burnout, stress, depression and anxiety, and enhancing psychological health between pre- and post-measurements. The effects were less clear between pre- and follow-up measurements. For resilience the effects were not significant. In addition, no moderation effects were found for the type of mindfulness intervention, after how many weeks the follow-up measurement took place and the length of the mindfulness intervention. Mindfulness interventions seem effective for reducing burnout, stress, depression and anxiety, and for improving the psychological health of police officers in the short term. Mindfulness interventions do not seem effective in improving resilience due to problems with operationalization of the construct. Follow-up research is required so mindfulness interventions can be used more effectively within the target group.

Published: February 2023

Individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR-P) are at increased risk for suicide. However, the relationship between attenuated positive symptoms and suicidal ideation are not well understood in this population, particularly as they interact over time. The current study is the first longitudinal examination of the relationship between attenuated positive symptoms and suicidal ideation among individuals at CHR-P. Thirty-six participants were recruited from an early psychosis intervention center. Attenuated positive symptoms and the presence of suicidal ideation were assessed at each session. Logistic mixed effect models were used to examine the concurrent and time-lagged relationship between suicidal ideation and total attenuated symptoms as well as specific attenuated symptoms (unusual thought content, suspiciousness, grandiose ideas, perceptual abnormalities, and disorganized communication). Results indicated that greater total attenuated symptoms were associated with the presence of suicidal ideation. Further investigation into specific symptoms showed significant associations between suicidal ideation and suspiciousness in both the concurrent and the time-lagged models. Post hoc bidirectional models (i.e. suicidal ideation predicting time lagged attenuated symptoms) were also used to shed light on issues of causality and directionality. Results supported a bidirectional relationship between suspiciousness and suicidal ideation, raising questions about the causal nature of this relationship. Further research is needed to determine whether third variables can explain the relationship between attenuated symptoms and suicidal ideation.
A computational approach to studying aesthetic judgments of ambiguous artworks
Authors: Wang Xi , Bylinskii Zoya , Hertzmann Aaron , Pepperell Robert C
Published: February 2023

Visual ambiguity plays a key role in the perceptual experience of art and has been much exploited by modernist and contemporary artists for aesthetic effects. But it remains unclear how aesthetic judgments are affected by visual ambiguity, and the subjective nature of aesthetic experience makes it difficult to measure. Wang et al. (2020) piloted a methodology in which a large collection of free-form textual descriptions of artworks were gathered from participants. The variability of these descriptions was then quantified computationally with Shannon entropy; ambiguous images tended to generate a greater number and wider diversity of descriptive terms. In the present study, we evaluated how well these measures can predict aesthetic preference for ambiguous images. We designed three crowdsourcing tasks in order to measure aesthetic preferences. The first was a simple rating task, and the other two required the participants to engage more actively with the images. We hypothesized that the number of associations evoked by ambiguous works of art, when computationally measured by entropy and description lengths, is a factor in judgments of their aesthetic value. Following this hypothesis, we made and tested a number of predictions. Our results provide broad support for the hypothesis, but with some interesting caveats and exceptions. We find that the form of the task significantly affects preference ratings and that participants’ responses can be clustered into two categories: those that prefer simple, recognizable imagery, and those that prefer more complex, ambiguous imagery. When taking this clustering into account, we find that our measures of entropy are correlated with aesthetic ratings. We conclude that these computational methods are useful for investigating the variable subjective responses to ambiguous artworks.
Social Ties, Family Structure and Care, and the Well-Being of the Oldest Old in China
Authors: Chen Ping
Published: February 2023

The growing number of the elderly in China is bringing dramatic changes into family life, the nature and structure of the support system for the aging population. Especially with the growing decrepitude in physical health and experiences of the inevitable losses of the significant others among the oldest old, it is crucial to understand how different compositions of family members or other social ties provide support or care for the oldest old to sustain a certain quality of life. The goal of this study is to explore how family structure and care and other social ties affect the extent to which the oldest old assess the quality of life after controlling for their demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, using data from the first wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Ordered logistic regressions are conducted and multiple imputation are applied to compute missing data. Findings in this study show that the demographic factors, including age, residential area, and physical health status, affect the life of the oldest old. Previous socioeconomic status of the oldest old have a cumulative effect on life quality over the life course. Most importantly, how family is structured impacts the well-being of the oldest old in China. Children play an important role in the life of the oldest old. They not only provide financial assistance and caregiving but also affection and love for the elderly, which greatly improves their subjective feeling about life. Extended family structures of multiple younger generations further have a positive effect on the well-being of the elderly. The reification of the traditional norm of enjoying the happiness of living together with multiple younger generations in their late life appears to be crucial to the emotional well-being of the elderly. Those who are living in nursing homes are more likely to feel better than those living with family members at home, indicating that nursing homes not only function in providing care for the daily routine of the elderly but also serve as a social setting for the elderly to socialize and make friends with their contemporaries. This reinforces their feelings of social attachment, hence, improves their subjective feeling of the life quality. Social services, provided by the government for the oldest old who do not have a family support, can facilitate financial support, formal caregiving, and the social life of the oldest old. They need to be taken into consideration to improve the life quality of the oldest old in China.

Tarrying with Trauma While Improvising Gender in Who Do You Think You Are?
Authors: Sorensen Brianna
Published: February 2023

Alice Munro’s 1978 collection of linked stories, Who Do You Think You Are? enacts what Lorraine York calls Munro’s theory of fiction as “tarrying with difficult emotions and knowledges.” Judith Butler’s seminal 1988 theory of gender performativity postulated that improvising gender incurs obvious and covert social punishments, but that performing gender includes the possibility of innovation. Rose, the protagonist, succumbs to and contests norms imposed on women in the southwestern Ontario township of Huron County during the 1940s to 1970s. This thesis explores Rose surviving punitive social conventions in her cultural context which are contiguous with trauma. For Rose, failure to conform is what Jack Halberstam defines as “queer failure”: it is a triumph of personal authenticity over gender essentialism and an acceptance of human imperfection. In the journey towards self-knowledge, Rose’s surviving trauma and defying gender scripts cause the “sticky affects” of shame and humiliation identified by Amelia DeFalco; the feeling that women are not afforded hope; and, in stressful situations, emotional dissociation and emotional economies, as identified by DeFalco and York. Rose’s marriage fails because of a sadomasochistic power struggle. Rose tarries with disconnection from others and from self; however, she innovates gender and subverts the intergenerational cycle of victimvictimizer by achieving a sense of community and strengthening personal authenticity, which Margaret Atwood says is, for “Munro’s women,” “an essential element, like air.”
OPTIMIZATION OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF THE HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM OF A BOILER PLANT WITH THE AIR PROTECTION METHOD OF GAS WATER TRACTS
Authors: Fialko N. , Stepanova A. , Navrodska R. , Shevchuk S.
Published: February 2023

The results of a study of the efficiency and optimization of technological parameters of the heat recovery system of a boiler plant, in which the method of mixing part of the heated air into the flue gases after the heat recovery unit, is implemented. The essence of the air method is to increase the temperature and decrease the relative humidity of the resulting mixture, which reduces the amount of condensate on the walls of the exhaust ducts. A gas-consuming boiler plant with a heat recovery system for heating heat supply water is considered. To optimize the technological parameters of the system in the implementation of this method, a complex technique based on exergy analysis was used. The technique combines structural-variant methods and balance integral methods of exergy analysis. This allows you to determine the exergy, heat engineering and technological characteristics that are included in the criteria for evaluating the efficiency of heat recovery systems. Due to the small number of parameters required for the calculation, and the simplicity of the calculation and analytical methods for obtaining exergy characteristics, the technique is convenient for research. The accuracy of the results obtained is 0.3-0.5%. A block diagram of a boiler plant with a heat recovery system in the implementation of the mixing method is given. In the block diagram, input and output excretory flows between individual elements are identified. The criteria for evaluating the efficiency of heat recovery and the main technological optimization parameters have been selected. Based on the general system of exergy, thermal and material balance equations in accordance with the structural scheme, an exergy balance equation was compiled, from which exergy losses and heat-exergy efficiency criteria were determined. The optimal values in the heat exchanger heat output and the amount of mixed air, which correspond to the high efficiency of the system, are determined.

In a publication the presented complex of researches of monitoring of forest fund of Ukraine in relation to the exposure of places of origin of forest fires, volumes of burned areas, disafforestation after the use of data of the remote sensing of Earth (Super View, Sentinel-2, MODIS in certain spectral ranges). On the next stage comes true determinations of economic losses, that were caused in the consequence of forest fires with the use of comparative analysis of contours and areas of burned areas with data of cadastre of forest fund of Ukraine, on the basis of programmatic platform of ArcGIS. On the final stage – thematic maps are formed with the exact coordinates of areas of disappearance of woods and points of origin of hearths.

The intensive loss of the forest planting in Ukraine during the last decades creates an environmentally dangerous situation in the regions of Ukraine, so there is a need for forest control and rapid fire prevention and elimination of forest diseases. The described technique will allow controlling forests with the subsequent application of all possible measures for the rational use and maintenance of forests. Given that received from spacecraft, it is recommended to immediately move to forestry to respond more quickly and eliminate potentially close to the accident – forest fires. It is recommended to provide additional monitoring of other means and methods: surface supervision of forestry specialists, use of ground surveillance and unmanned aerial vehicles. The presented modern methodology of the satellite monitoring helps to educe the facts of origin of fires, determine the coordinates of cells of hearth, that resulted in a fire, define the changes of forestations: felling, burned areas, areas with a dry or sick vegetation during a 1 - 3 twenty-four hours after the grant of order to the operator of the space system (Super View). The use of remote sensing methodology helps to determine: temperature anomalies according to MODIS, fires according to Sentinel-2 and fires – Super View, as well as to monitor fires and predict the possibility of their distribution with an assessment of the consequences of fire damage.
APPLICATION OF THE THEORY OF TYPE-2 FUZZY SETS TO THE FORECASTING OF CATEGORICAL TIME SERIES: A MATHEMATICAL MODEL AND ALGORITHM
Authors: Tymchuk O. , Pylypenko A. , Ivanchenko O.
Published: February 2023

In this paper is considered the problem of forecasting categorical time series. Such series have a wide practical application in almost all spheres where judgments and expert evaluations are used. The analysis of modern research shows that the problem of taking into account the linguistic uncertainty remains insufficiently studied.

The purpose of this research is to design a time series model based on type-2 fuzzy sets theory that will allow to perform computing with words.

The type-2 fuzzy time series model gives the result in the form of a granular term, which is described by a word and a discrete interval type-2 fuzzy set.

Based on the proposed model, the fuzzy algorithm for forecasting time series has been developed, which consists of five steps: word model definition; fuzzification of time series values; fuzzy relations definition; fuzzy forecasting; defuzzification.

The high quality of the proposed forecast model is confirmed by three evaluation characteristics: Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).

The most common method of obtaining energy from biomass is anaerobic fermentation of agricultural waste.

There are enough technical options for the implementation of biomass methanogenesis, starting with structurally simple ones and ending with technologically perfect installations of continuous operation using modern means of automation. Therefore, at the design stage, it is necessary to solve a set of problems related to the development and processing of initial information for the analysis and synthesis of optimal system options.

The purpose of the study is to develop a technique for technical and economic assessment of functionally homogeneous groups of biogas plants.

When choosing parameters of systems that ensure minimum costs for production and operation, it is suggested to apply parametric series for functionally homogeneous groups of biogas plants - ordered sets of numerical values of certain features characterizing their structural and operational properties.

In order to influence the main factors on economic efficiency, the series are expressed by dependencies that are approximated by the corresponding functions. The problem must be solved as an extremal one and reduced to the minimization of some functional. Economic reasons are determined: the need for equipment, the cost of developing the latest samples and their operation.

The use of complex methods to select the optimal type of biogas plants is not always advisable. More simple and fairly accurate methods are based on a feasibility study. At the same time, economic feasibility can be expressed by two criteria: maximum profit and minimum costs.

The technical and economic analysis of parametric series is reduced to the search for the optimal series, which gives the greatest economic effect for large biogas plants and a minimum of capital costs for small ones.

The application of this calculation method will significantly reduce the time for designing biogas plants and provide optimal technical and economic indicators.

Objective: To investigate the antifungal activity of voriconazole, with and without Kombucha tea culture, against Candida strains isolated from vulvovaginal candidiasis. Material and Methods: The study included 150 females, within child-bearing periods, complaining of valvovaginal candidiasis. Candida strains were isolated, and identified by conventional microbiological methods; and confirmed by Viteck-2 System. The sensitivity of the isolates to voriconazole was performed, via the Disc diffusion method. Resistant strains were then subjected to minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) investigation of voriconazole alone, and in combination with a Kombucha tea culture via the broth micro-dilution method in concentrations ranging from 0.0048 to 10 μg/ml. The ability of voriconazole, with and without Kombucha, to eradicate Candida biofilms were investigated using a crystal violet absorbance assay. Results: Eighty-nine strains were isolated. From these 60 isolates showed variable resistance patterns (57 were voriconazole resistant, and 3 had dose-dependent susceptability). Kombucha significantly decreased the MIC50 of voriconazole against all strains from 5 to 0.625 μg/ml (p-value<0.01); additionally, MIC90 were reduced from 10 to 1.25 μg/ml (p-value =0.000). Voriconazole at a concentration of 0.156 μg/ml succeeded in eradicating biofilms formed by 18 strains after adding a Kombucha tea supernatant versus zero strains when using Voriconazole alone. Conclusion: Kombucha Black tea cultures could be promising antifungal agents in the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Objective: The characteristics and risk factors of stroke differ between men and women. Women have a lower mortality but a higher disability rate after a stroke, as well as a higher rate of response to intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA). However, the data regarding gender and outcomes after rt-PA in Asian populations is limited. Hence, this study aimed to make a comparison between men and women regarding mortality and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (S-ICH) after rt-PA. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in a specialized stroke unit at a 1000-bed university hospital in Thailand. Adult patients, who were eligible for rt-PA, were recruited from the Stroke Fast Track Registry between 2015-2019. The clinical data and radiological results were collected and analyzed. Results: There was a total of 278 patients,138 of whom were men (49.6%). The men had a lower average age (63 vs. 68 years, p-value<0.001), had higher creatinine levels and higher diastolic blood pressure than the women (1.22±0.93 vs. 0.97±0.84 mg/dl, and 90±15 vs. 86±18 mmHg, all p-values<0.001). The mortality and S-ICH rates were comparable (2.3% vs. 5%, and 8.0% vs. 11.4%, respectively, all p-values>0.05). Having had a history of anti-platelet therapy was a strong risk factor for S-ICH in men (OR 6.43, 95% CI 1.39–29.69); whereas, age was significantly associated with mortality in women (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.03–1.24). Conclusion: Men and women had similar rates of mortality and S-ICH after rt-PA.

Вступ. Проблеми дефіциту коштів завжди актуальні для підприємців, домогосподарств та урядів, що спонукало їх до пошуку нових джерел та інструментів фінансування. Проблема. В умовах воєнної агресії росії проти України краудфандинг благодійсності (бла­годійний краудфандинг) стає одним із найдос­тупніших та найуспішніших способів залучення коштів на забезпечення підтримки протидії цій агресії. Метою статті є визначення ролі краудфан­дингу благодійності у фінансуванні гуманітар­них та військових потреб в Україні в умовах воєнного стану. Методи. Дослідження проведено із засто­суванням методів теоретичного узагальнення, порівняльного аналізу та синтезу. Результати дослідження. Краудфандинг благодійності в умовах протидії збройній агресії в Україні набуває певних особливостей, які характеризуються об’єднанням людей на основі єдиних демократичних та загальнолюдських цінностей незалежно від географічних бар’єрів; посилення комунікацій між громадянами на основі емпатії і прагнення до свободи та само­визначення; доповнення державного фінансу­вання армії та гуманітарних потреб, висту­паючи потужною формою державно-приват­ного партнерства; залучення значної частини коштів у криптовалюті. За умови продовження російської воєнної агресії проти України існу­вання благодійного краудфандингу можливе у межах оптимістичного, песимістичного чи нейтрального сценарію. Реалізація відповід­ного сценарію розвитку благодійного крауд­фандингу в Україні залежатиме від ситуації на фронті. Висновки. Краудфандинг благодійності є інструментом збору коштів для фінансування благодійних соціально значущих проєктів, що здійснюється на основі моральної зацікавле­ності спонсорів (донорів). На відміну від інших видів краудфандингу, в основу прийняття рі­шень донора у благодійному краудфандингу покладено соціальні чинники. В умовах бурхли­вого розвитку мережевого краудфандингу вони тісно переплітаються з технічними чинни­ками, які створюють підґрунтя для розширен­ня цільової аудиторії краудфандингу благо­дійності незалежно від географічних обмежень та швидкого збору необхідного обсягу коштів.
Фінансове прогнозування в умовах глобальної невизначеності

Published: February 2023

Вступ. Соціально-економічні потрясіння останніх років висвітлили недоліки поточної моделі фінансового прогнозування та пов’я­зані з цим виклики: обмеженість традицій­ного підходу до генерації сценаріїв; нестача схожих подій в історії для порівняння; невраху­вання соціально-економічного контексту під час розроблення сценаріїв; відсутність інте­грованого у прогнозування стрес-тестування на актуальність; нездатність існуючих про­цесів підтримувати швидкий темп перегляду прогнозів. Проблема. Посилення невизначеності еко­номічних процесів призвело до ситуації, коли продовження ведення бізнесу в умовах "як зазвичай" зараз є неможливим, оскільки по­передньо визначені статичні прогнози швидко втрачають актуальність, що зумовлює зрос­тання хаотичності та необґрунтованості прийняття рішень. Це потребує застосу­вання нового підходу до фінансового прогно­зування – прогнозування в умовах глобальної невизначеності. Метою статті є висвітлення глобаль­них ризиків, в яких оперують сучасні підпри­ємства, та окреслення принципів ефектив­ного фінансового прогнозування за умов гло­бальної невизначеності. Методи. Використано низку методів та підходів: діалектичний, аналітичний, синтезу, порівняльний, узагальнень; системний, інсти­туційний, історичний та логічний. Результати дослідження. Важливим еле­ментом забезпечення ефективності фінан­сового прогнозування в умовах невизначеності є ідентифікація та моніторинг випереджаль­них індикаторів, що дає змогу вчасно зафіксу­вати перші ознаки зміни драйверів прогнозу. Такі індикатори можуть бути різними для кожного бізнесу: внутрішні, ринкові, макро­еко­номічні. Оскільки зміни відбуваються дуже дина­мічно, найкращого ефекту можна досягнути, аналізуючи такі показники в реальному часі, за допомогою інформаційних систем або вико­ристовуючи інструменти штучного інтелекту. Висновки. Ризики, перед якими опинилась світова економіка, формують для підпри­ємств унікальні умови невизначеності та турбу­лентності, за яких доцільно дотримуватись таких принципів фінансового прогнозування: крос-функціональна робота над визначенням релевантних бізнес-драйверів; фокусування на найважливіших драйверах; виділення різних сценаріїв залежно від впливу специфічних ви­кликів; моніторинг випереджальних індика-торів; постійний перегляд прогнозів.
