Reinforcement Learning for Jointly Optimal Coding and Control Policies for a Markovian System Controlled over a Communication Channel
Authors: Hubbard Evelyn , Cregg Liam
Published: September 2024

This paper develops approximation and optimality results for the optimal control of a networked system. In this system, a Markovian process is managed over a finite-rate, noiseless communication channel. Solving this problem involves determining joint optimal coding and control policies that minimize cost over time. While theoretical results on optimal coding and control structures exist, practical implementation has remained largely infeasible for non-linear systems due to the computational complexities and uncountable state spaces.
This research introduces an approach that combines structural results with reinforcement learning (RL) techniques. The method uses regularity properties of the system to approximate the uncountable state space with a countable one, which allows reinforcement learning algorithms to achieve near-optimal solutions. Specifically, we establish that finite model approximations (where infinite state spaces are quantized to finite ones) and sliding finite window approximations (where a finite memory "window" of past control actions is maintained at each time step) can be employed to develop near-optimality. These approximations allow the system to be reformulated as a Markov Decision Problem (MDP) with a finite state space, making RL algorithms implementable.
The convergence of the reinforcement learning algorithm to a near-optimal policy (under both the previous approximations) is supported by theoretical analysis and performance simulations. We ensure that the solutions obtained are not only computationally feasible but also nearly optimal with respect to the original problem.
The applications of this work extend to many networked control systems, especially those with zero-delay coding and partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs). By integrating structural results with learning algorithms, this paper provides a practical framework for implementing optimal control in finite-rate environments.
Mass Timber Beams Under Loading
Authors: Sellner Charlotte
Published: September 2024

This summer, I participated in a few research projects under the supervision of Dr. Woods, focusing on the load-bearing performance of mass timber structures. The projects aim to address critical gaps in understanding timber beam-column connections under loading to enhance structural safety and promote the use of sustainable building materials. I assisted in the construction and instrumentation of experimental test specimen setup (including retrofit beams from a decommissioned bridge, CLT-Steel composite beams, and curved glulam beams), executing the tests, and analyzing the resulting data. Advanced sensors like digital image correlation and distributed fiber optic sensors provided insights into the behaviour of beams. Through hands-on training in the Structures Laboratory and support in data analysis using MATLAB, I gained a deep understanding of experimental testing under loading and contributed to a collaborative effort in structural engineering.
Studies on the temperature dependent drift velocity for the HELIX Drift Chamber Tracker
Authors: Barsky-Giles Gabrielle
Published: September 2024

HELIX (High Energy Light Isotope eXperiment) is a ballon experiment designed to measure abundance of cosmic ray isotopes from hydrogen to neon, with a particular interest in abundances of beryllium isotopes. HELIX aim to provide essential data to study the cosmic ray propagation in our galaxy. The Drift Chamber Tracker (DCT) in HELIX is a multi-wire gas drift chamber designed to measure the position of incident cosmic rays. It is located inside a magnet, bending the trajectory of incoming particles through 72-layers of tracking, enabling the measurement of the momentum of incoming particles.Before the data can be used for scientific analysis, the background must be taken out, and the instrument must be well calibrated. In order to exclude electronic noise from the DCT data it was necessary to determine the maximum drift velocity of each wire over a short period of time. To do this I developed an algorithm to be able to identify the maximum drift velocity for each wire over each dataset. This revealed a position dependence of the data within the detector. In order to attempt to characterize this dependence, so it can be accounted for in the calibration stage, I preformed a study on the temperature dependence of the drift velocities analyzing at data from different time periods over the course of the flight. To characterize this dependence I built a predicted heat map of the gas within the detector over the course of the flight. This involved calibrating the thermistors based on data collected when the experiment was on the ground. This helped confirm that the predicted temperature was reasonable and that the variation was temperature dependent. This algorithms and this study can now be applied to the full data set to develop a calibration method.
Komunikacja dzieci w spektrum autyzmu – zastosowanie ruchomego alfabetu oraz MTG® w terapii
Authors: Świstowska Anna
Published: September 2024

W artykule przedstawiono zastosowanie ruchomego alfabetu oraz Manualnego Torowania Głosek ® w procesie terapeutycznym niemówiących dzieci w spektrum autyzmu. Włączenie obu technik do terapii, tj. komunikacji poprzez pismo oraz werbalizacji poprzez kierowany ruch terapeuty, pozwala doświadczać dziecku przekazania własnych myśli w sposób najbardziej zbliżony do swojego interlokutora. Jednocześnie stymulacja czteromodalna: wzrokowa, ruchowa, dotykowa i słuchowa aktywuje obszary kory mózgowej odpowiedzialne za proces mówienia, dając tym samym dziecku perspektywę rozwoju mowy. Wypowiedzi utworzone z użyciem ruchomego alfabetu przez dzieci z ASD, starsze przedszkolne oraz szkolne, ukazują wieloaspektowość komunikacji językowej, ujawniając ich potencjał intelektualny, który w przypadku braku samodzielnej werbalizacji jest trudny do oceny.

Categorical and dimensional approaches in diagnosis using Asperger syndrome as an example
Authors: Korendo Marta
Published: September 2024

In the latest medical classifications (DSM-5 and ICD-11), Asperger syndrome (AS) is no longer a separate nosological entity. It has been included in the category of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which has significantly affected the lack of differential diagnoses. This is not the best solution for people with ASD, as it does not take into account the clear distinctions between autism and Asperger syndrome despite the presence of similarities. In addition to the similarities, Asperger syndrome is also characterized by numerous differences from autism, and these are not limited to differences of a quantitative nature (the severity of the deficits present). The dominance of the categorical treatment of the phenomena, both in the DSM and the ICD, plays a major role in perpetuating the problem.

Published: September 2024

Consumers’ growing awareness and desire for food free of pesticide residues led to the incubation of this research work. The study aimed at developing a nanoemulsion formulation of Balanite aegyptiaca seed kernel extract for use as a biopesticide. A preliminary study was carried out on the solubility and miscibility of surfactant, carrier, and deionized water utilizing the low-energy spontaneous emulsification method. Information from the study was then used to plot a ternary phase diagram (TPD) showing both the isotropic zone and the anisotropic zones, from which a point with a surfactant, oil, and water ratio (20:20:60) was selected from the isotropic zone for the formulation. The developed nanoemulsion was tested for stability and thermostability, and both results revealed the system was stable. Similarly, the physiochemical properties of the developed nanoemulsion system were characterized, and the results showed that the system revealed the following properties: mean particle size of 173.2±21.6, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.403±0.038, surface tension of 32.53±0.71, viscosity of 37.33±0.67 mPas, and a pH of 4.92±0.02. The formulation appears homogeneous, clear, and transparent, which further indicates it’s a nanoemulsion formulation. Therefore, the nanoemulsion formulation of B. aegyptiaca seed kernel can serve as a safe and environmentally friendly substitute for synthetic pesticides in the management of plant diseases.

Authors: Oriola Ayodeji O. , Kar Pallab , Oyedeji Adebola O.
Published: September 2024

The continued emergence of multi-drug resistance pathogens has been a major setback to lifting the burden of infectious diseases, especially bacterial illnesses. Natural- and/or nature-inspired compounds have so far become a therapeutic backbone on which many novel antibacterial agents are optimized. It is against this backdrop that we used an in silico molecular interaction-based approach to screen five previously identified compounds from Globimetula braunii, for lead inhibitors against bacterial illnesses. The compounds were chromatographed from the leaf ethyl acetate fraction and were characterized by spectroscopic means as 13,27-cycloursane (1), 13,27-cycloursan-3-one (2), methyl-3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate (3), 3-methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (4), and 2-methoxyphenol (5). Upon their molecular docking at the active pocket of the Staphylococcus aureus gyrase B and the Escherichia coli DNA gyrase, 2 showed the highest binding affinities, with energy scores of -10 and -9.6 Kcal/mol. These were better than the standard antibiotics, Ampicillin (-7.5 and -8.0 Kcal/mol), and Ciprofloxacin (-6.9, -8.4 Kcal/mol). Further evaluation of the most promising compound 2 by molecular dynamics simulation showed the mean RMSD values of the 13,27-cycloursan-3-one - E. coli DNA gyrase protein complexes (complex 1) and 13,27-cycloursan-3-one - S. aureus gyrase B protein (complex 2) to be 0.7 and 0.9 Ǻ respectively, attaining stability at 102 and 108 ns. In contrast, complexes 1 and 2’s RMSF analysis revealed the fewest fluctuations and was generally stable over the course of the 120 ns. In conclusion, 13,27-cycloursan-3-one is unquestionably the most promising inhibitory candidate against the bacterial growth protein DNA gyrase, hence, it can be considered as a druggable substance against bacterial disease.

Solar cell are a technology that converts sunlight into electrical energy. Solar energy can produce up to 156.486 MW of power, a langer amount when compared to other renewable energy sources. Indonesia is a country located in the equatorial route, which receives sufficient amount of sunlight throughout the year, with an average eye-day radiation intensity of about 4.8 kWh/m2 per day throughout Indonesia. Especially in the Jakarta area, the DKI Provincial Government had released the Governor’s Instruction (InGub) Number 66 of 2019 on air quality control, one of the points of the InGub is the installation of PLTS to minimize air pollution in Jakarta. The Jakarta Provincial Government will instal solar panels in local government buildings, school buildings, sports halls and health facilities. DKI Education Agency Head Ratiyono said that there are now 100 schools that have installed solar panels.  The method used is a presentation using a power point on how to apply solar panels so that the material can reach participants using attractive visuals and direct practice. By continuing the program of DKI Provincial Government, therefore, as academicians we try to provide understanding, socialization and piloting PLTS in Serang enviroment, Banten. The pilot was implemented for garden lights in Kelurahan Bendung, this was because the field in Kelurahan Bendung was large and had minimal lighting.

The region in Indonesia is indicated to have many critical lands. Critical lands are lands that have experienced degradation so that the land cannot function properly. In other words, efforts to obtain benefits from the level of productivity that should not be comparable to the results of production. Therefore, efforts must be made to improve the land so that its productivity can recover. In the Curug sub-district, Bogor City, there are critical lands. This critical land is caused by steep land topology and high rainfall. One of the critical land areas is the Curug River watershed. The slope of the land on the side of the river exceeds a slope of 45º. High rainfall causes the land to experience cracks accompanied by subsidence of the land surface. One of the handling efforts that can be carried out on an ongoing basis is integrated reforestation. Based on these problems, the aim of this community service (PKM) is to provide education regarding the dangers of critical land and cultivating critical land with durian seeds. This activity was carried out by a team consisting of source persons, lecturers and students from the Faculty of Earth and Energy Technology, Trisakti University. The PKM activity was attended by the Head of RW 13 and the Head of RT 3 in Curug Village and their staff. Apart from that, the PKM was attended by the men and women of RT 3 residents who actively participated in counseling activities and planting durian seeds along the areas along the river and other areas.
The Confrontation Clause & State Action
Authors: Watts John L.
Published: September 2024

The Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause works in conjunction with the right to counsel and trial by jury to protect the people against the government’s abuse of its prosecutorial monopoly. However, the history of the Court’s Confrontation Clause jurisprudence has not always focused on the Sixth Amendment’s goal of limiting government power and was treated as virtually synonymous with the hearsay rules. In Crawford v. Washington, the Court restored the Confrontation Clause to constitutional significance by correctly identifying it as a procedural guaranty that empowers the jury to evaluate the reliability of government witnesses through live testimony subject to cross-examination. Unfortunately, the Court’s exclusive focus on testimonial statements as a limitation on the right was misplaced from the beginning, and the multifactor “primary purpose” test for identifying a testimonial statement allows government actors to avoid having to produce live witnesses subject to cross-examination.

This Article proposes to replace the testimonial statement and the “primary purpose” test with a “state action” test that focuses on the government’s role in the creation of the out-of-court statement and thereby prevents government efforts to avoid live testimony and cross-examination at trial. First, the Article explains that the Confrontation Clause must be understood within the context of the right to counsel and trial by jury to ensure that jurors—the people—evaluate the reliability of government witnesses through live testimony subject to cross-examination by the defense counsel. It then demonstrates that the “primary purpose” test results in too much judicial discretion and emboldens police and prosecutors to manipulate the creation of out of court statements that will not trigger the right of confrontation. As a result, it empowers judges, police, and prosecutors—the very government actors the Sixth Amendment seeks to control.

Second, the Article describes the alternative “state action” test that focuseson the government’s role in the creation of the out-of-court statement. The “state action” test would simplify the Confrontation Clause analysis and improve the truth-finding function of criminal trials. Under this test, the analysis is focused on government involvement in the creation of the out of court statements and thereby prevents the “primary evil” at which it was originally directed—the government’s “use of ex-parte examination as evidence against the accused.”

Finally, the Article applies the proposed state action test and demonstrates how it would eliminate judicial discretion in mixed-motive cases, prevent the admission of out-of-court statements made to undercover government agents, and require forensic experts working for the government to testify live subject to cross-examination. In short, it preserves the right of confrontation—the constitutionally mandated means of testing the reliability of government witnesses—in cases where the potential for government abuse exists.
The Myth of Children’s Online Privacy Protection
Authors: Steinberg Stacey B.
Published: September 2024

Digital technology has changed the landscape young people face as they come of age. It has changed how children interact with their parents, schools, community organizations, and the state. Despite many benefits, digital technologies that employ data collection, algorithms, and artificial intelligence pose significant risks for the next generation. Private businesses can collect, use, and sell a child’s data in ways never imagined by their families. Information collected by third parties with good intentions can be stolen through data breaches. Through faulty algorithms, websites can make inaccurate assumptions about young people’s interests, teachers can make inaccurate assumptions about a student’s potential achievement, and the state can make inaccurate assumptions about a child’s risk to engage in criminal activity. It can also feed young people information that is harmful to their physical or psychological well-being. Meanwhile, current efforts in the United States that promise to protect children online threaten to undermine their right to privacy.

United States federal and state laws are ill-equipped to truly offer children online privacy protections. There are few legal remedies available to young people whose data is used in malicious ways. The remedies that do exist are insufficient to simultaneously safeguard children while respecting privacy as young people mature. To that end, this Article seeks to explore how current laws centered on children’s online protection are inadequate, and why the obsession with keeping young people safe online often curtails their need for agency and autonomy. It offers a cogent path forward to guide federal and state policymakers as they update children’s online privacy protection law.
Aquisição das vogais anteriores arredondadas do francês por falantes de português brasileiro sob perspectiva do SLM (speech learning model - modelo de aprendizagem de fala)
Authors: Barbosa Juliana
Published: September 2024

O presente trabalho investiga a aquisição de fonemas vocálicos do Francês (FR) por falantes nativos de Português Brasileiro (PB). As vogais anteriores arredondadas do FR /y, ø,œ/, que não fazem parte do inventário vocálico do PB, são comumente confundidas com vogais anteriores não arredondadas do PB /i,e,ɛ/ ou com as posteriores arredondas /u,o,ɔ/, sobretudo nos estágios iniciais de aprendizagem do Francês como Língua Estrangeira (FLE). Este estudo busca compreender como as crianças e os adultos, aprendizes e não aprendizes de FR, distinguem diferenças fonético/fonológicas e se são capazes de produzir fonemas franceses à luz de um modelo teórico para aquisição de segunda língua: o Modelo de Aprendizagem de Fala (SLM – Speech Learning Model), de Flege (1981, 1995b), que postula que a produção de sons de uma Língua Estrangeira (L2), inexistentes em Língua Materna (L1), é precedida pela percepção e categorização desses fonemas. Nesta pesquisa experimental, observa-se como as variáveis idade e conhecimentos elementares de FR atuam na discriminação e na pronúncia de palavras contendo /y,ø,œ/. Os resultados, obtidos de uma amostra de 40 falantes nativos de PB, apontam para diferenças pouco significativas entre os grupos de informantes no teste de percepção. De modo geral, os aprendizes apresentaram melhor performance na discriminação de vogais distintas por arredondamento ou ponto de articulação, as crianças aprendizes demonstraram melhores habilidades na produção das palavras francesas, com diferenças significativas em relação aos grupos compostos por crianças não aprendizes e adultos, tanto os aprendizes quanto os não aprendizes de FLE.
The process of language acquisition: an experimental approach from a minimalist perspective
Authors: Corrêa Letícia Maria Sicuro , Augusto Marina Rosa Ana
Published: September 2024

We present the approach to the study of language acquisition and processing developed in LAPAL (Laboratório de Psicolinguística e Aquisição da Linguagem – PUC-Rio) in the last decades, which incorporates a minimalist conception of language in a procedural model of grammar identification, and in the online computation of sentences. We refer to experimental results regarding infants’ sensibility to elements of functional categories, the early acquisition of gender and number, the early parsing of recursive structures, the role of recursion in cognitive development, and the processing cost of recursive structures and long-distance dependencies. Methodological issues concerning the assessment of children’s ability to process costly structures are considered, which contribute to the identification of the nature of children’s difficulties in comprehension tasks. Particular attention is paid to the application of this approach to the tracking of DLD (Developmental Language Disorder).
Categorias da gramática na construção do conhecimento fonológico na Aquisição da Linguagem – o caso de consoantes obstruintes
Authors: Matzenauer Carmen Lúcia Barreto , Miranda Ana Ruth Moresco
Published: September 2024

O foco do artigo está na criação de categorias da gramática como parte da construção do conhecimento fonológico no processo de aquisição da linguagem. Trata-se da construção de categorias segmentais, particularmente de consoantes obstruintes, na aquisição fonológica de crianças falantes nativas do português do Brasil, dando-se atenção especial à ocupação dos espaços fonológicos lacunares na classe de segmentos obstruintes, como parte do processo gradual de construção do inventário segmental. Na observação do diferente comportamento entre plosivas e fricativas, indo-se além dos dados da aquisição fonológica, trazem-se exemplos de inventários fonológicos de diferentes sistemas linguísticos. No exame da passagem do continuum dos sons ao status de categorias da gramática fonológica na aquisição, considera-se a interação entre a compreensão e a produção linguísticas e entre a fonética e a fonologia. Na análise, tem-se o suporte teórico em traços distintivos e no Modelo Bidirecional de Processamento de L1, proposto por Boersma (1998, 2000, 2007, 2011) e Boersma & Hamann (2009).

Authors: Diedrich Marlete Sandra
Published: September 2024

Este artigo focaliza o estudo da narrativa como tema da área da Aquisição da Linguagem na perspectiva aquisicional enunciativa. O objetivo da proposta é refletir sobre as contribuições que o estudo da narrativa sob enfoque dessa perspectiva pode apresentar para a compreensão da historicidade da criança na linguagem, o que envolve a aquisição da língua materna. São questões centrais na discussão apresentada as noções de língua sistema e língua-discurso, assim como as operações enunciativas vivenciadas pela criança na aquisição da língua materna. Os resultados da reflexão realizada, com o apoio de um dado ilustrativo, apontam para a narrativa como importante manifestação discursiva que propicia à criança tecer redes de relações entre formas e sentidos da língua-discurso. Essas redes são decorrentes das relações intersubjetivas estabelecidas na historicidade da criança na linguagem, via operações de referência e correferência.
Dialogic and pragmatic aspects of early object realization: a crosslinguistic comparison of three Romance languages
Authors: Maranhão Castro Larissa , Salazar Orvig Anne , Marco Haydée
Published: September 2024

This exploratory research aimed to assess the impact of pragmatic and dialogic factors on the choice of referring expressions at the onset of transitive constructions in three Romance languages. The study was conducted using a corpus of three adult-child dialogues with three 2;6-year-old children acquiring Brazilian Portuguese (BP), Spanish (Sp), and French (Fr). After analyzing the distribution of forms for accusative and dative objects, we assessed the impact of the input (through two levels of influence) and of the attentional and discursive status of the referents (through four degrees of accessibility). Overall, the results showed the children’s sensitivity to pragmatic factors, but we also found different uses for null objects in each language: the Brazilian child used more over-explicit forms when nulls would be accepted, while the French child used null objects when pronouns were expected. The Spanish-speaking child showed little disparity from the adults’ usage. The three children adopted linguistic forms from the adults' speech, and this strategy seems to contribute to the children's assessment of referent accessibility and the acquisition of challenging weak forms.

Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: To describe rehabilitation and decision making from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction to return to sport (RTS), characteristics, and RTS proportions for pivoting sport athletes undergoing usual care.

DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.

METHODS: We invited people with ACL reconstruction (ACLR) aged 16-40 years, who were injured during soccer, handball, or basketball and registered in the Norwegian Knee Ligament Register to complete a study-specific questionnaire at 1-3 years post-surgery. We reported descriptive statistics and RTS proportions for return to participation, sport, and performance.

RESULTS: Of 1 875 individuals, 631 (34%) responded. The physical therapist–led rehabilitation ceased before 9 months in 52% (n = 268), and a physical therapist was most frequently involved in RTS decisions (n = 462, 77%). Fifty-five percent (n = 353) of the participants underwent physical testing prior to RTS. At a mean of 2.3 years (SD = 0.8) after ACLR, 62% (n = 391) returned to participation, 50% (n = 312) returned to sport, and 17% (n = 93) returned to preinjury performance, with higher rates for those under 20 years old. The main reasons for nonreturn were fear of reinjury (35%, n = 27) and knee problems (35%, n = 27). Median time to RTS was 12 months (interquartile range, 10-15 months), and 16% (n = 102) had sustained a new ACL injury at follow-up.

CONCLUSION: This nationwide study found that half of pivoting sport athletes ceased rehabilitation within 9 months and half performed physical testing to inform RTS, with physical therapists most frequently involved in the RTS decision. Half of the athletes returned to sport, and 1 in 6 returned to performance. RTS proportions were highest in athletes younger than 20 years. JOSPT Open 2025;3(1):45-58.

Authors: Syarifuddin Faisal , Rajabto Wulyo , Dwina Billianti Yayi
Published: September 2024

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a diverse group of B-cell lymphomas that vary in their clinical characteristics. Usually manifesting as a rapidly progressing or advanced condition, it is often curable even at advanced stages. The illness originates in extranodal and extramedullary tissues in 40% of patients. Patients over the age of 80 who have comorbidities or fragile conditions may be eligible for Rituximab and Reduced Dose CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) (R-mini-CHOP) chemoimmunotherapy. We report a 75-year-old woman with a tumor on the right side of the nose that covers the eye, so it is easy to fall out. The diagnosis of DLBCL (sinonasal) was made on the basis of computed tomography (CT) scan of the paranasal sinuses with contrast and immunohistochemical examination. Due to the age of the patient, who was included in the very elderly category with moderate frailty based on instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), the patient was given R-mini-CHOP chemoimmunotherapy for six cycles, followed by radiation as much as 20 × 18 Gray (Gy) where the patient in the final evaluation stated complete response.

Generalised pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a chronic, multisystemic, autoinflammatory disease with predominantly cutaneous manifestations, characterised by recurrent episodes of widespread, macroscopic and aseptic pustules. It has a highly unpredictable, heterogeneous and unstable clinical course. There are no consensus guidelines in India for the management of GPP. The objective of this Delphi panel study was to achieve consensus on problem areas in the understanding and management of GPP. Based on the inputs from an expert panel, 19 topics across six domains were identified as being important regarding the understanding and management of GPP. Statements were developed for these 19 topics, and consensus for the statements was sought using the modified Delphi method. Twelve experts evaluated the statements, indicating their agreement or disagreement. Consensus was considered to be reached when ≥80% of experts agreed with a statement. After two rounds of discussion, consensus was reached for 17 out of 19 (89%) statements and no consensus was achieved for two (11%) statements. We have presented the statements along with the respective degrees of consensus. Wherever relevant, clarifications or additional comments by experts are provided in the document.

Background. Bronchial asthma is the most widespread chronic nonspecific lung disease in children. Monitoring the prevalence of asthma is an important part of a set of measures aimed at preventing and effectively treating the disease. Purpose of the study. To study the long-term dynamics of the main epidemiological indicators of the overall and primary incidence of asthma in the child population of the Grodno region. Material and methods. We performed a retrospective analysis of the indicators of the overall and primary incidence of bronchial asthma in children of the Grodno region. The study period was 1999-2023 years for children aged 0-14 years and 2008-2023 years for children of 15-17 years old. Results. The long-term average standardized indicator of the overall incidence of bronchial asthma in children aged 0-14 years (1999-2023) was 597.13 (95% CI: 562.88-631.37), that of primary incidence – 79.94 (95% CI: 67.52-92.37) per 100,000 children of the corresponding age. The long-term average incidence of bronchial asthma in children aged 15-17 years (2008-2023) was 1157.69 (95% CI: 1070.69-1244.71), that of primary incidence – 44.29 (95% CI: 33.52-55.05) per 100,000 children of this age. In the age group of 0-14 years, the overall incidence of bronchial asthma was dominated by children aged 10-14 years, the primary incidence – by children of 5-9 years old. The long-term epidemic dynamics were characterized by a moderately pronounced tendency towards an increase in the standardized indicator of the overall incidence in children aged 0-14 years (average growth rate =+1.32%) and those aged 15-17 years (average growth rate =+2.87%), stabilization of the indicator of primary morbidity in children of 0-14 years old (average rate of decline = -0.49%) and a downward trend in the rate of primary morbidity (average rate of decline = -3.48%) in children aged 15-17 years. The levels and average long-term trends in the dynamics of indicators in individual territorial and administrative districts of the region have been established. The trends in the dynamics of asthma incidence rates in the administrative territories of the region during the analyzed period were multidirectional and had varying degrees of stability. The cartograms of the territorial distribution of bronchial asthma incidence rates in children of the Grodno region in the periods 1999-2023 (0-14 years) and 2008-2023 (15-17 years) are presented. Conclusions. The reasons for the established patterns in changes in the incidence of bronchial asthma in children of different age groups and those living in different territories require further study.

Dalam persepsi masyarakat, pelayanan kesehatan masih bergantung pada status pasien. Pasien dengan kelas tinggi akan diberikan pelayanan dengan baik, sedangkan pasien kelas rendah cenderung tidak mendapatkan pelayanan yang seharusnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari tahu mutu pelayanan perawat RSJ Prof. Dr. M. Ildrem Medan, apakah sudah melaksanakan tugasnya sesuai dengan Permenkes Nomor 26 Tahun 2019 tentang Penyelenggaraan Praktik Keperawatan, dan apakah memenuhi aspek kualitas pelayanan teori SERVQUAL oleh Parasuraman. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan desain penelitian fenomenologi. Informan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari 5 perawat dari bidang yang berbeda, yakni 2 perawat Wakil Kepala Ruang Akut, 1 perawat Wakil Kepala Ruang Kronis, 1 perawat Kepala Ruang UPIP, dan 1 perawat Kepala Ruang Poli Jiwa. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh melalui dua tahap, yaitu observasi dan wawancara yang dilakukan selama dua hari pada bulan Maret 2024. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan cara mengumpulkan seluruh data, menyederhanakan data, menampilkan hasil, dan menarik kesimpulan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa perawat RSJ Prof. Dr. M. Ildrem Medan sudah memberikan pelayanan sesuai dengan aspek teori SERVQUAL, namun masih terdapat hambatan pada aspek bentuk fisik, di mana fasilitas rumah sakit belum sepenuhnya sesuai standar operasional prosedur, misalnya kurangnya kelengkapan activity of daily living pasien, jumlah perawat yang minim, atap gedung mulai usang, aplikasi rumah sakit tidak dijalankan, dan peralatan perawat yang perlu diperbaiki, seperti troli obat. Teori SERVQUAL menjadi dasar dalam memberikan pelayanan kesehatan pada masyarakat yang dapat menumbuhkan persepsi positif terhadap rumah sakit.

Актуальность исследования заключается в важной роли банковского сектора в достижении экономического роста, поскольку он обеспечивает финансовыми ресурсами крупнейшие промышленные предприятия страны. Современные кризисные условия в связи с коронавирусной инфекцией, санкционным давлением, представляют собой новые угрозы для стабильности банковской системы, поскольку среди пострадавших секторов на первом месте оказывается именно банковская система. Зависимость банковской системы России от экономической конъюнктуры и фазы экономического цикла определяет ее недостатки и проблемы. Целью исследования является выявление основных проблем и тенденций развития банковской системы на современном этапе. Был проведен анализ количественных показателей банковского сектора, оценка территориальной обеспеченности России кредитными организациями, а также определены современные тенденции в развитии банковской системы. В ходе исследования была выявлена высокая степень концентрации в банковской системе, где превалирующую долю занимает Сбербанк, который имеет 45% совокупных активов банковского сектора. Также были выявлены тенденции к монополизации банковского сектора в виду ограниченных возможностей малых и средних банков по сравнению с крупными игроками рынка.

В статье рассматривается подробная история развития цифровых экосистем, начиная с момента, когда банки только начали внедрять цифровые технологии в свою деятельность и, когда столкнулись с необходимостью автоматизировать ручные процессы до момента, когда всё многообразие сервисов и приложений трансформировалось в единую экосистему. Определена цель создания экосистем, которая заключается в том, чтобы стремиться обеспечить потенциальных клиентов персонифицированным набором продуктов, а затем предоставлять им комфортные и удобные способы приобретения и использования финансовых услуг. Приведены известные экосистемы коммерческих банков: ПАО «Сбербанк России» и АО «Тинькофф Банк». Проанализированы главные преимущественные позиции построения и использования экосистем для банков, например, такие как: привлечение новых клиентов, снижение издержек, адаптация линейки продуктов под запросы клиентов и др.

Представленная статья посвящена описанию теоретико-методических положений по достижению положительного влияния цифровизации на социально-экономические процессы развития информационного общества. Предметом исследования выступает процедура трансформации и автоматизации социальных, политических и экономических отношений в сложившейся модели взаимодействия современных социальных общностей (сообществ). При изучении существующих подходов к характеристике процесса цифровизации социально-экономических сообществ автором использовались общенаучные приемы и методы логико-конструктивного и причинно-следственного анализа. Основным результатом проведенного исследования, являются оценка влияния экосистемного подхода и принципов институционализма на адаптацию населения к процессу цифровой трансформации систем государственного управления и контроля. В статье уточнены перспективы создания и функционирования цифровых экосистем, и развития на их основе цифровых моделей репутационного скоринга (социального рейтинга), как инструмента инновационного государственного контроля над процессом адаптации населения к условиям и требованиям цифровой экономике.  Также дополнена сформированная автором система экономической оценки перспектив создания национальной цифровой модели репутационного скоринга.

Для любого предприятия, потоки денежных средств являются важнейшим элементом в финансовом менеджменте. Потоки денежных средств, влияют на общий приток (поступление) и выбытие (отток) финансовых ресурсов, которые на прямую влияют на финансовую устойчивость, рентабельность, ликвидность, платежеспособность. Поэтому грамотное управление денежными потоками позволяет хозяйствующему субъекту эффективно с оптимальным результатом осуществлять свое хозяйство в части производства и реализации материальных ценностей, обеспечивая взаиморасчеты с контрагентами, с сотрудниками, обеспечивая при этом устойчивость финансового положения предприятия. Действующие экономические санкции усугубляют проблемы управления денежными потоками, которые считаются актуальными при любом финансовом положении (прибыльности или убыточности), Например, негативное влияние на предприятии оказывают как удорожание сырья, так и сложность взаиморасчетов с контрагентами, именно по данной причине проблемы управления денежными потоками в части обеспечения их достаточной сбалансированности, а также своевременного поступления платежей и расходования средств являются одними из важнейших и актуальных моментов развития современного финансового менеджмента любого субъекта хозяйствования. For any enterprise, cash flows are an essential element in financial management. Cash flows affect the overall inflow (inflow) and outflow (outflow) of financial resources, which directly affect financial stability, profitability, liquidity, and solvency. Therefore, competent cash flow management allows an economic entity to effectively carry out its economy with optimal results in terms of production and sale of material assets, ensuring mutual settlements with counterparties, with employees, while ensuring the stability of the financial position of the enterprise. The current economic sanctions exacerbate the problems of cash flow management, which are considered relevant in any financial situation (profitability or loss). ensuring their sufficient balance, as well as timely receipt of payments and spending of funds are one of the most important and relevant moments in the development of modern financial management of any business entity.
