Задача організації руху міського автомобільного транспорту загального користування являється забезпечення достатньо високої якості пасажироперевезень при мінімальній собівартості. При врахуванні нерегульованих випадкових коливань пасажиропотоків у часі і по довжині того чи іншого маршруту, затримки руху пасажирського транспорту при роботі в загальному потоці руху, стає зрозумілим, що складання оптимального розкладу руху автобусів є  досить складна задача. Організація оптимального перевезення пасажиропотоків повинна передбачати максимальне корисне використання рухомого складу, який виходить на лінію, по кількості автобусів і по їх пасажиромісткості, тобто використання середнього коефіцієнтузаповнення транспортних засобів.

Однією з причин низького наповнення автобусів являється їх неоптимальна місткість. Оптимальний підбір пасажирського рухомого складу підвищує середній коефіцієнт пасажиромісткості, та сприяє усуненню великих інтервалів руху автобусів. Тому пасажиромісткість одиниці транспортного засобу, який застосовується на міських маршрутах перевезень, підлягає оптимізації.

У статті запропонована методика обчислення оптимальної пасажиромісткості одиниці пасажирського транспорту, яка спирається на середньогодинний пасажиропотік на найбільш завантажених маршрутах. Отримане рівняння дозволяє обрати раціональну пасажиромісткість автобусів, які виходять  на маршрути м. Кам’янського по різних періодах доби.
Inflaming public debate: a methodology to determine origin and characteristics of hate speech about sexual and gender diversity on Twitter
Authors: Arce-García Sergio , Menéndez-Menéndez María-Isabel
Published: December 2022

This article is focused on the reproduction of ideologically charged messages whose origins or interests remain hidden from public opinion. There is an urgent need for transparency regarding polarised debates that deform, impede or distort the critical approach that any society should be able to construct concerning issues of great social interest, especially on social media platforms and networks. Research has shown that hostility has colonised digital communication through misogynist, homophobic, transphobic or xenophobic messages, among others, and that, for the most part, these are not spontaneous or individual interactions. In the virtual space, there are forces that, although invisible outside it, construct narratives, generate disinformation and feed generally regressive ideological approaches. Thus, in the name of transparency and social justice, there is an urgent need to investigate these types of messages, as well as their possible destabilising interests at a time of special presence and reputation of discourses such as the feminist one, which is currently experiencing a significant reactionary response. This paper investigates the origin and characteristics of the conversation on the social network Twitter concerning gender and sexual identities. To this end, we studied a significant sample of tweets (>1 million) related to women’s rights, the LGBTIQ+ collective and trans people, for a full year. Computerised methodologies by means of machine learning techniques, natural language processing (NLP), determination of bots, geolocation, and the application of network theories were used to carry out the study. The results include the highly interrelated presence of groups without clear referents, as well as the existence of what appear to be coordinated networks aimed at causing harm and provoking confrontation.
Cumhuriyet Döneminde Türkiye’nin Nüfus Politikaları: Yeni Bir Kronolojik Sınıflandırma
Authors: CAN Burhan
Published: December 2022

Bazı çalışmalarda Türkiye’nin nüfus politikaları iki dönem halinde incelenir. Bunlar, nüfus artışının özendirildiği ve nüfus artışının sınırlı tutulmaya çalışıldığı dönemler olup, “1923-1965 Dönemi” ve “1965 Sonrası” şeklinde sınıflandırılır. Lakin bazı araştırmacılara göre 1) Artışın özendirildiği dönem (1920-1950 yılları), 2) Açık bir politikanın bulunmadığı dönem (1950-1960 yılları), 3) Aile planlaması dönemi (1960 sonrası) şeklinde 3 dönem mevcuttur. Bazı araştırmacılar ise politikaları 1) Teşvik dönemi (1920-1957), 2) Durgunluk dönemi (1957-1965) ve 3) Planlı dönem (1965 sonrası) şeklinde sınıflandırır. Oysa Türkiye, özellikle 2014’ten itibaren yeni bir nüfus politikası benimsemiş ve nüfus artışını yeniden teşvik etmiştir. Önceki çalışmalar, 2014’ten bu yana uygulanmakta olan nüfus artışını özendiren politikalara değinmez.

Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin nüfus politikalarını kronolojik bakımdan yeniden sınıflandırmıştır. Sınıflandırma, önceki çalışmalardan farklı olan 4 dönem şeklindedir. Bunlar: 1) Artışın Özendirildiği Erken Cumhuriyet Dönemi (1923-1946 yılları), 2) Açık Bir Politikanın Bulunmadığı Dönem (1946-1960 yılları), 3) Artışın Sınırlı Tutulmak İstendiği Dönem (1960-2014 yılları) ve 4) Yeniden Artışının Özendirildiği (2014 sonrası) Dönem’dir. İstatistiki veriler 1935-1975 için Shorter ve Macura’nın 1982’deki çalışmasıyla DİE’den alınmıştır. 1946-1960 istatistiklerine TÜİK, DPT ve UN-DESA’dan ulaşılmıştır; 1960-2014 için kalkınma planları, Nüfus Genel Müdürlüğü ve MERNİS verileri kullanılmış olup; 2014 sonrası, Kalkınma Bakanlığı ve Cumhurbaşkanlığı’na aittir. 3-8’le biten yılların verileriyse HÜNEE’nin saha araştırmalarına dayanmaktadır.
1960-1965 Döneminde Türkiye'den Almanya'ya İşçi Göçleri
Authors: ACAR Erhan
Published: December 2022

Türkiye ekonomisinin sıkıntılı bir süreçten geçtiği dönemde Almanya’dan gelen işçi talebi ülkenin iktisadi açıdan rahatlaması, işsizliğin azaltılabilmesi ve döviz girdisinin arttırılabilmesi için bir fırsat olarak görülmüş, Almanya’ya işçi gönderilmesine karar verilmiştir. 30 Ekim 1961’de Almanya ile işçi gönderilmesine dair bir protokol imzalanmış ve toplu işgücü göçü bu protokol çerçevesinde olmuştu. Almanlar işçi taleplerini ve teminini İstanbul’da kurdukları Alman İrtibat Bürosu vasıtası ile gerçekleştirmişlerdir. Almanya’da çalışan Türk işçiler, sosyal ve kültürel açıdan önemli bir uyum sıkıntısı çekmişler; lisan problemi dolayısıyla sosyal haklarının takibinde zorluk yaşamışlardır. Dönem içerisinde Almanya’ya gönderilen işçi sayısı her geçen gün artış göstermiştir. Almanya’ya gitmek için talebin çok fazla artması ve yoğunluk oluşması ile birlikte bu konu üzerinde fırsatçılık ve dolandırıcılık olaylarına rastlanmıştır. Dönemin sonlarına doğru Almanya’ya işçi göçünde bir nebze olsun azalma yaşanmış, ancak bu azalmaya rağmen 1964 ve 1965 yıllarında Almanya’ya en çok işçi gönderen ülke Türkiye olmuştur.
Is aging “normal”?
Authors:   Department of Comparative Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA., Johnson Chloe , Ladiges Warren
Published: December 2022

The descriptive term “normal” aging is often used in scientific literature to indicate commonly occurring changes with increasing age in the absence of overt disease. However, significant molecular and geropathological changes are increasingly present to indicate there is nothing normal about aging. Thus, the term “normal” aging is scientifically incorrect. There are changes in multiple genetic and epigenetic processes and pathways that drive aging, and some individuals are more resilient to these changes than others. Thus, “resilient” aging would be a more correct term to represent a major emphasis on investigating mechanisms and therapeutic targets for resilience, rather than a label of “normal” aging that is misleading and currently receives relatively little attention. Keywords: Aging, “Normal” aging, age-related changes, geropathology, resilient aging
Targeting IGF1R signaling for brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease
Authors:   Department of Comparative Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA, Park Joo Young , Darvas Martin , Ladiges Warren
Published: December 2022

The role of IGF1R signaling in the brain and its relationship to aging and neurological dysfunction is controversial. Because it was shown that low IGF1R activity consistently improved myocardial bioenergetics and function in hearts from aging mice, but not hearts from young mice, it was of interest to investigate this relationship in brain aging. We used CRISPR technology to develop a mouse model with targeted replacement of mouse IGF1R with the equivalent of the human R407H (IGF1RR407H) variant enriched in centenarians with a reduction in IGF1R protein activity. Middle-aged mice show improved cognitive performance thus possibly modeling IGF1R signaling in the aging brain, similar to what was reported in the aging heart. Because Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related disease, specific IGF1RR407H pathways could be therapeutic targets in mice with AAV vector-based AD as well as for overall brain aging. Keywords: IGF1R signaling, IGF1RR407H variant, brain aging, cognition, Alzheimer’s disease

In patients with bladder cancer, ureterosigmoidostomy has been used as a form of urinary diversion, and urinary lithiasis has been reported as a complication. A patient with a large bilateral kidney stone and ureterosigmoidostomy diversion is described. In 2012, a 61-year-old man had a cystectomy due to bladder cancer. He was lost to follow-up after presenting to the emergency department in 2016 with right flank pain and fever. Computed tomography (CT) scan reveals bilateral staghorn calculus. A bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy was performed. The patient was planned for bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). He declined, therefore we proposed External Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL). The right kidney stone was removed, but the left kidney stone did not alter after 7 ESWL sessions, thus PCNL was scheduled. The middle calyx was punctured under fluoroscopic guidance through the nephrostomy in Valdivia’s modified position. Two 0.035” hydrophilic guide wires were passed down the renal pelvis and ureter until it ureterosigmoidostomy union was reached. Dilation was carried out with Nephromax. An Amplatz 30 Ch was placed. The holed stone was then fragmented with Laser Holmium. PCNL tubeless was performed. He was discharged two days after surgery. PCNL tubeless was performed. The hospital stay was two days. CT control two months later: Lower pole 5 cm hematoma, the residual stone of 4 mm in the upper calyx. After resolving the renal hematoma, the residual stone will be dealt with ESWL.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Introduction. The hotel industry is characterized by an unstable staff. There are many higher education institutions that have the right to train specialists in this field. Currently in Ukraine, managers of different levels for the hospitality industry are trained in every region of the country, but they lack qualified professors, and curricula are not updated. The result is poor preparation of graduates and their ignorance of the modern hotel business. Therefore, the problem of modernization of higher professional education becomes urgent for the full functioning of the hotel industry, in particular in the training of future hotel business professionals in order to create a model of the educational process that would best combine the best Ukrainian and foreign traditions. Purpose. The aim of the article is to analyze current trends and world experience in the training of hotel business professionals. Results. Research shows that studying in international hospitality schools is not just studying in higher education institutions, but a full-fledged preparation for work in international hospitality companies. Students receive a practice-oriented world education, supplemented by mandatory internships in restaurants and hotels. As a result, young professionals are constantly in touch with the industry: establish useful connections and communicate with professionals in hotel industry. The study found that one of the new methods of training managers for the hotel is the formation of mobility and rapid interaction with colleagues and customers around the world. The development and implementation of the latest digital technologies allows the use of innovative solutions to improve the quality of service in a modern hotel with the help of special mobile applications. Conclusions. Thus, the application of the world experience of training hotel business specialists will allow future specialists to enter real life freely and take an active part in the restructuring of the Ukrainian economy and society. Successful passing of such tests is the evidence that the future specialist combines the qualities so necessary for work in the field of hospitality and tourism. Studying hotel management, taking into account the experience of the world's best schools of hotel management, internships and business courses in hospitality management, the use of mobile technology and educational trips is the key to quality training of future hotel business professionals.
Perspective Directions of Improvement of Management of Intergovernmental Fiscal Relations in Ukraine on the Example of the Developed Countries of the World
Authors:   Odessa I. I. Mechnikov National University, Butenko V. V.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Introduction. In any state, due to the existence of an administrative-territorial division, there are relations between public authorities of different levels in the budgetary sphere. The main task of organizing and managing inter-budgetary relations is to provide state guarantees at a certain minimum acceptable level throughout the territory and all citizens regardless of their place of residence when receiving equal state social services. At present, unfortunately, in Ukraine there is a political inconsistency in the problem of the division of competences and responsibility for the implementation of specific functions of central, regional and local authorities, which negatively affects the processes of redistribution of intergovernmental resources. Purpose. The purpose of this article is to investigate the mechanisms of implementation of the state budget policy and the model of organization of public administration of budget relations, which are used in economically developed countries of the world in order to determine their specificity, which will enable to effectively regulate the current economic situation in Ukraine. Results. The current mechanism of budgetary equalization and the model of organization of public administration of budget relations in Ukraine is analyzed. The models of state participation in budget policy of different countries of the world are outlined. The components of the mechanism of management and regulation of interbudgetary relations at the regional level are determined. Conclusions. Considering the model of the mechanism of management of intergovernmental relations, we can conclude that there is no definite model acceptable to all countries of the world. The construction of a specific mechanism is based on the level of decentralization of the budget and taxation system, the scope of the powers of local authorities, the political choice between efficiency and equality, the depth and degree of disproportion between administrative and territorial units.

Suriye, Filistin ve Mısır coğrafyasında sürüp giden Haçlı seferleri, özellikle 1291’den sonra Anadolu coğrafyasının yeni efendisi Osmanlılar ile farklı safhalarla devam etmiştir. Bu süreç içerisinde, Doğu ile Batı arasında bir taraftan düşmanlıklar üretilip savaşlar yapılırken, diğer taraftan da halı gibi değerli ürünler kanalıyla Avrupa’ya bir kültür ve medeniyet transferi gerçekleştirilmeye başlamıştır. Suriye’deki Haçlı lordlarının evlerini ve farklı mekânlarını süsleyen halılar, onlara aynı zamanda Doğu’da neler elde ettiklerinin de cevaplarından birisini vermiştir. Halı, Sûr’da yapılan bir Haçlı düğününden, Beyrut’taki Haçlı senyörünün sarayına kadar pek çok olaya ayna tutmuş ve seferlerin gerçek nedenlerinin anlaşılmasına katkı sağlamıştır. Bizans’ın özellikle Antakya Haçlıları ve Anadolu’daki Türklerle olan ilişkilerinde de halı üzerinden yaşanan bazı olaylar, seferlerin farklı bir çehresini ortaya koymuştur. Daha sonra Osmanlıların Bizans tekfurları ve imparatorları ile olan ilişkilerinde halının söz konusu edildiği detaylar, bir devletin nasıl kurulup yükseldiğini de gözler önüne sermiştir. Öte yandan Venedikliler ve Portekizlilerle ittifak arayışına giren İran’daki Safevîlerin halı üzerinden yürüttükleri iktisadî savaşlar ise seferlere yeni bir boyut kazandırmış, Haçlı seferlerinin hangi cephelere yayıldığını farklı bir cepheden ortaya koymuştur.

The impact of Apartment Design on the well-being of occupants has become even more critical during the time of the Covid-19 Pandemic. This health crisis is emphasizing the need for resilient built form, especially in the field of housing. Unlike standalone housing, communal housing in the form of high-rise apartments pose many challenges to the lifestyle and the sense of well-being of residents during a pandemic. Lockdowns, social isolation, and quarantine have an adverse impact on the physical, social, and mental well-being of apartment dwellers. This study aims to explore the sense of well-being, their adaptations, and resilience to living in apartments during the Covid-19 pandemic, through a case study of an upper-middle-income apartment complex in Sri Lanka. Primary data on respondents’ perceptions, lifestyle during the pandemic, and the challenges to their well-being are explored via online surveys among 38 respondents. Secondary data on the apartment design features are explored via observations and document analysis. Both descriptive statistics and content analysis is conducted to explore the quantitative and qualitative data respectively. Findings reveal apartment design considerations for more resilient and adaptable dwellings in the face of a pandemic, to address the sense of well-being of its dwellers.

Electronic equipment is one of the world’s fastest-growing waste types. Office buildings can be identified as a major contributor to the electronic waste generation of any country, including Sri Lanka. Several electronic waste management strategies are utilised around the world, including landfilling and incineration, export, urban mining, 3R concept, extended producer responsibility, and circular economy. Among all, the circular economy is considered the best approach for minimising electronic waste in an office building. However, the circular economy concept is not widely used in Sri Lanka. Hence, this research aims to examine the applicability of the circular economy for electronic waste minimisation in Sri Lankan office buildings. To collect the required data, a comprehensive literature review was carried out initially, followed by a questionnaire survey and expert interviews. Manual content analysis was used to analyse the collected data. The findings revealed that the barriers to implementing the circular economy are high cost, lack of skilled labour, limited rules and regulation, limited rules and regulation on the circular economy, lack of continuous monitoring system when issuing the license, and lack of allocated resources for research on the circular economy. Further, conducting awareness-raising campaigns, using electronic equipment responsibly, and enacting electronic waste-related legislations were suggested for the better implementation of a circular economy in Sri Lankan office buildings.

In a rapidly moving world, it is imperative to adopt the latest tools and techniques for the Sri Lankan construction industry to survive in the global market. The Last Planner System (LPS) is one such tool that sets out a proper communication medium and regulates the workflow throughout the construction by individual phase monitoring and remedying the process. Yet, the implementation of LPS is still in the infancy stage in Sri Lanka. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the potential challenges of implementing LPS within the Sri Lankan construction industry. Nine industry experts were identified by judgemental sampling, and semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data related to the research under the qualitative approach. Content analysis was used to analyse the data using NVIVO. The research identified 42 challenges pertaining to five LPS stages for the Sri Lankan construction industry. Further, the Master planning and Phase planning stages are crucial as it has many challenges during the implementation compared to other stages. It is recommended to identify the specific challenges concerning each firm’s infrastructure for successful LPS implementation in the Sri Lankan construction industry. This research uncovers further areas to identify the strategies to minimize the identified LPS implementation challenges.

‘Car parking’ can be considered as a pivotal challenge and one of the major contributors to traffic congestion in urban areas. This challenge is a result of a dramatic increase in numbers of automobiles on the roads as well as surge in population. Recently, smart car parking management has become an ideal solution for the parking with the emergence of IoT technology. At present, the deployment of smart technologies has rapidly increased specially in the developed countries, in the world. Hence, this study aims to explore the challenges and problems for implementation of smart car system and to make recommendations for implement it tob the Sri Lankan context.. This research carried out in developed countries do not ideally and best suit for developing countries as the economic, social and cultural contexts of the developed countries are different from that of the developing countries. Therefore, this study goes beyond that and addresses about smart car parking system that assisted users to solve the issue of finding a parking space and to minimize the time spent in searching of the nearest available car park, based on the case studies encompassing commercial buildings within the Sri Lankan context.

Commercial Gentrification has a significant impact on the spatial transformations of ordinary settlements to commercial users. This research focuses on the process of commercial gentrification taking place with the establishment of an educational institution in a prevailing residential neighborhood. It is intended to identify the spatial planning implications and the possible spatial planning response to optimize the benefits of induced land-use changes at neighborhood levels. The need for a planning intervention at the neighborhood level to prevent the negative consequences of such spatial transformations, as well as the planning intervention of such spatial transformations, is emphasized in many previous studies as prospective research areas. Kernal Density Estimation, Standard deviational ellipse, Word query, and Cloud analysis methods were used to comprehend the data gathered through qualitative methods. The process of commercial gentrification was identified in terms of the changes in building use, spatial implications, spatialities of the process, and the economies of commercial gentrification. The findings of the study demonstrate that the process of commercial gentrification taking place in the neighborhood has been driven by three major contextual factors and elaborates the need for a neighborhood-level planning intervention by suggesting strategies to promote equitable development to maximize the benefit of the neighborhood transformation
