Organizational and technological principles for improving technical service in the agro-industrial complex
Authors: Mishina Z. N.
Published: April 2021

To ensure highly efficient operation of agricultural machinery and equipment, it is necessary to improve the system of technical services in agriculture by creating specialized service centers. The system of maintenance in agriculture is characterized by a significant decrease in efficiency due to critical physical and moral wear of equipment of repair and technical enterprises (RTP), low level and insufficient qualification of Executive personnel and managers of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex (AIC). These changes led to the loss of the majority of RTP for agriculture and their re-equipment for non-agricultural production. According to experts, in the service sectors of agriculture, there was a loss of technological production and a significant part of applied science. This is especially worrisome due to the catastrophic aging of cars and the lack of funds to replace them. It is necessary to improve the General condition of the equipment of repair shops, the availability of existing agricultural enterprises with production areas is no more than 50%, technological equipment — no more than 47%, and technological equipment and equipment of workplaces — 15% — 40%, respectively. The priority areas of modernization of the infrastructure of technical service of agricultural machinery are related to updating the technological base of machine repair. Based on a reliable assessment and analysis of the technological level of RTP, which takes into account a number of technological, technical, organizational and environmental factors of production. RTP does not have the necessary equipment and devices to perform a number of maintenance and maintenance operations. The process of developing the technical service infrastructure lags far behind the level of structural and technological complexity of agricultural machinery. Due to technological requirements, such complex components and assemblies as engines, hydraulic equipment, fuel pumps of domestic and imported agricultural machinery should not be repaired in the conditions of farms. In a number of works proved the following provision: evaluation of the technological level repair enterprises shall be based on the application of such methods and means of technological preparation of production, which correspond to the advanced achievements of science and technology, and provide high-capacity system maintenance to continuous improvement. A high technological level of technical service enterprises is a condition for efficient operation of any type of production, ensuring its stability and reliability of operation, flexibility and adaptability, high intensity and waste-free operation.

Published: April 2021

The occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions as a result of Russian aggression cause the relevance of the study of foreign experience in restoring the territorial integrity of the country and the reintegration of the returned territories. The article presents an analysis of experience of Croatia in the de-occupation and reintegration of the territory of the self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina. The process of restoring the territorial integrity of Croatia through the military offensive operations after long-term ineffective peacekeeping missions of UN as well as through a peaceful return and gradual reintegration under the control of international peacekeeping missions has been researched. The factors contributed to and hindered this process, in particular, international mediation and assistance, reformation of the military sector, the position of non-combatants, the activity of public organizations and etc. were outlined. Based on the conducted analysis, it has been established that experience of Croatia in peaceful reintegration can be used in Ukraine in the field of peacebuilding, restoration of trust between the population of two sides of delimitation line, the return of displaced people, recognition of civil law documents issued at uncontrolled territories, pension issues, introduction of transitional police forces, international mediation and assistance in the process of reintegration of the population of the conflict zone into the peaceful public life of the country can help to develop more effective strategies as for the reintegration of the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Organization of protest against the holodomor 1932 - 1933 in Volyn in autumn 1933

Published: April 2021

The article deals with the conduct of protests against the policy of famine in Ukraine by Western political parties and non-governmental organizations. The complex of materials devoted to the coverage of the tragic events of the Holodomor in the Ukrainian SSR in 1932-1933, much of which were published by the Lviv newspaper Novy Chas, is analyzed. It is found that information about the situation in the USSR outside the USSR began to emerge in the spring of 1933, when the famine was already gaining ground. This was due to the fact that measures to prevent the leakage of information about the terrible famine taken by the Bolshevik government proved to be quite effective. Also addressed were letters sent to western Ukraine, possibly to relatives, asking for help, which was an important source of information about the tragedy in Ukraine. Separate Western press reports published in European newspapers informing about the famine in the USSR were translated and published in Ukrainian also in Western Ukrainian newspapers. On the basis of documents stored in the State Archives of Rivne region, the features of protest actions in the Volyn Voivodeship were investigated, where the influence of Ukrainian national political groups was not so significant. It was revealed that the protest organizers were participants of Western Ukrainian cultural, educational and political organizations. Representatives of the Catholic, Greek Catholic and Orthodox clergy did not stay away from these events. The main forms of protest actions in Volyn against the policy of famine on the territory of the Ukrainian SSR were prayer, party meetings, and meetings. The resistance of the local administrative authorities in organizing protests was not only about Volyn. The same happened in the provinces of Galicia. In addition, it was found that the Aid Committees were also active in the context of Ukrainian political emigration. Particular attention is paid to the activities of nationalists in the fight against communism and the holding of a terrorist action in the Soviet consulate, which to some extent hindered the holding of legal protests and informing the public outside the Soviet Union about the famine in the Ukrainian SSR.
The activity of the Roman Catholic Church on the territory of Right-Bank Ukraine at the end of XVIII – in the beginning of XX c.: historiographical discourse
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Volonyts Vira
Published: April 2021

This article gives a detailed analysis of historiographical sources concerning the problems of the activity of the Roman Catholic Church on the territory of Right-bank Ukraine at the end of XVIII – in the beginning of XX c. The scientific research on this topic is composed according to the chronology of problematic principles, therefore three consistent stages and their characteristics are given: I period – the first part of XIX c. – the beginning of XX c. – the time of establishing and developing Ukrainian historical studies and setting up Ukrainian national historiography. During that period scientists studied the peculiarities of domestic and foreign policy of the activity of the RCC in Right-bank Ukraine. The majority of scientists acknowledged an evident pressure of the RCC on the orthodox region and pro-Polish position of Church from the one side, but from the other - limiting anti-Catholic policy of Russian government. II period – 1917-1991 – the Soviet period. During this time the party ideologization of Ukrainian historical studies was realized and Ukrainian foreign historical studies as alternative ones were formed, which examined the history of the Catholic church from the perception of social political processes in Ukrainian society. III period – 1991 – the beginning 0f 2000 – the modern period, that is characterized by deprivation of ideological stereotypes and implementation of new ideas, active cooperation with foreign centers. The variety of researched issues enlarged and now the subjects of scientific researches become the questions of legitimate regulation of church, its independence from temporal power, cultural educational and charity activities, financial economic provision of churches and monasteries, peculiarities of the state and development of the Roman Catholic orders, participation of the Roman Catholic priesthood in Polish liberation movement. However, until that times, scientific research is left beyond investigation of the Catholic priesthood cooperation with representatives of Ukrainian national movement in a region, social cultural church initiatives, artistic heritage of the Roman Catholic orders and so on.

Authors: Paul Prabir Kumar
Published: April 2021

Be it in the world of mathematics or real life, it is often rewarding to think out-of-the box while solving a problem. Accordingly, in this paper, our aim is to explore the various alternative approaches for solving algebraic equations and finding the number of real zeros. We will further delve deeper into the conceptual part of mathematics and understand how implementation of simple ideas can lead to an acceptable solution, which otherwise would have been tedious by considering the conventional approaches. In the pursuit of achieving the objective of this paper, we will consider few examples with full solutions coupled with precise explanation. It is also intended to leave something meaningful for the readers to explore further on their own. The fundamental objective of this paper is to emphasize on the importance of application of basic mathematical logic, concept of inequality, concept of domain and range of functions, concept of calculus and last but not the least the graphical approach in solving mathematical equations. As a further clarification on the scope of this paper, it is highly pertinent to bring to the understanding of the readers two important aspects - firstly, we will only deal with equations involving real variables; and secondly, this paper does not include topics related to number theory.

Due to its vitality in preserving the stability, transparency, and sound management of businesses, corporate governance continues to play a dominant role in many Malaysian companies. This will give the country and foreign countries good opportunities to invest in Malaysia and provide an investment-friendly environment. It adds color to the existing soft stock market in Malaysia as a result of the economic instability, the political turmoil, and the pandemic effects of Covid-19. Two main elements of corporate governance in Malaysia, minority shareholders, and shareholder activities will be addressed in this article. Minority shareholders, in particular publicly-listed companies in Malaysia, are major players in companies. However, in other countries, the general opinion among minority shareholders is that executives, administrators, and main shareholders or control shareholders tend to take advantage of them for their own personal purposes. As a result, shareholder activism plays a key role in making shareholders aware of their rights and obligations in the ownership of the firm, in particular as minority shareholders, through this activism. However, Malaysia has not yet come to a firm conclusion on the effectiveness of shareholder interference. Five articles on minority shareholders and shareholder activism relevant to Malaysia, each from 2010 to 2020, were retrieved from Google Scholar and examined from Malaysia's corporate governance perspective to determine the extent of their growth.

Published: April 2021

Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) are undeniably playing a significant role in the economic development of many countries globally. This role performed by the SMEs has been distracted by the global pandemic COVID-19 (Coronavirus). The pandemic brought about lockdown, movement restrictions, market closure, social distancing, etc. Thus, these restrictions and controls of the movement have particularly affected small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria. This study aims to examine the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on the small and medium scale business in Yobe State, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. Data were obtained through a questionnaire administered to 278 SMEs in Yobe State. The data were analyzed using descriptive and regression analysis using SPSS. The findings of the study indicate owners/managers of SMEs that participated in the study rated the variables of COVID-19 (lockdown, movement restriction, market closure, and social distancing) on a high level. The result further revealed that all the variables in the study correlate with SME's performance. Interestingly, the findings indicate three variables have a significant positive effect on SME's performance, the highest among is the market closure, followed by movement restriction and lockdown accordingly. While social distancing shows no significant effect on SME's performance. Therefore, it is recommended that proactive plans should be put in place for SMEs in anticipation of events such as COVID-19 that can hurt businesses. Finally, future research should consider other related variables that have not been considered in this study.

Published: April 2021

Entrepreneurship is a field that offers career opportunities. The effort to create a generation that chooses entrepreneurship as a career requires graduates to have entrepreneurial readiness. The diversity of graduates makes the demand and supply in the job sector unbalanced. In addition, graduates are less exposed to the potential of an entrepreneurial career, making this field not the main choice for their career. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the influence of entrepreneurial readiness such as attitude, learning, and spirituality on the choice of entrepreneurial career among UKM Bangi graduate students, Selangor. The design of the quantitative study using a survey method of a questionnaire which involved a sample of 375 students consisting of the National University of Malaysia graduates of Bangi which students from semester one to six semesters was randomly selected. The findings of this study show that the entrepreneurial readiness of UKM graduate students is very high, but the selection of student entrepreneurship careers is modest. While entrepreneurial readiness for entrepreneurial career choice among SME graduates has a huge impact.
Design and validation of the animal welfare scale: Emotional education of children to prevent abuse

Published: April 2021

It is important to have reliable instruments that can evaluate the attitude towards animal welfare of elementary school students. The abuse or mistreatment of children towards vulnerable groups deserves full attention, therefore we emphasize that animals constitute a vulnerable group that needs further studies. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational study aimed to validate the design of a scale that measures the attitude towards animal welfare (ABA) in 100 students from fourth to sixth grade of elementary school. It includes children between 9 to 12 years old residents of communities in the state of Sonora, Mexico.  The factor analysis yielded two factors that explain 39.32% of the total variance with a Keizer-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) index of 0.86 and high internal consistency index for the total scale (0.90) and the subscales. Additionally, the confirmatory factor analysis produced an adequate practical and statistical fit in the covariance model and the second order model. The covariance analysis also evidenced convergent and divergent validity. Comparison analyzes by groups showed that sex and school grade do not influence attitudes in favor or against the animal species. Finally, we found that older children living in an extended family develop better attitudes in favor of animal care and protection.

En este sentido, el usuario demanda más información y más precisa. Por ello, el sector alimentario está obligado a dotar a sus productos de un etiquetado detallado que, en ocasiones, puede tornarse engañoso. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en determinar qué buscan los consumidores, por qué y si son conscientes de lo que compran. Para ello, se ha utilizado una metodología tanto cualitativa como cuantitativa a través de la entrevista dirigida en profundidad, la cual ha sido realizada tanto a usuarios de a pie como a un especialista de reconocido prestigio en el sector, el Dr. Tinahones. Se trata, por tanto, de un primer acercamiento al estado de la cuestión en el contexto de 2019 cuyos resultados muestran que, en general, el etiquetado y la publicidad juegan un papel determinante en la elección de los productos que se consumen y que, en muchos casos, hay una gran desinformación, e incluso información tergiversada, de lo que implica una dieta saludable. En términos generales, es necesaria una formación en alimentació

Abstrak, Daftar kasus kecelakaan kerja di galagan kapal yang terjadi selama 8 tahun terakhir dengan jumlah kasus tertinggi pada proses pekerjaan grinding dan welding. Kasus kecelakaan kerja tersebut disebabkan oleh kesalahan manusia atau human error. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Cogitive Reliability and Error Analysis Method (CREAM) untuk memprediksi dan mengurangi terjadinya human error. Pada metode ini dilakukan dengan dua cara yaitu basic method yang berfungsi untuk hanya mendapatkan nilai probabilitas kegagalan secara umum, sedangkan extend method berfungsi untuk mendapatkan nilai probabilitas kegagalan kognitif pada setiap task. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang menurunkan keandalan operator dan mempengaruhi timbulnya human error pada operator grinding dan welding adalah faktor kondisi pekerjaan dan waktu dalam hari saat pekerjaan berlangsung. Nilai probabilitas error tertinggi pada proses pekerjaan grinding dan welding terdapat pada aspek kognitif interpretation, dengan masing-masing nilai CFP pada proses grinding yaitu sebesar 0,024 dan pada proses welding 0,006. Usulan perbaikan untuk mengurangi probabilitas human error pada proses grinding dan welding adalah pada kondisi pekerjaan dengan membutuhkan penerangan yang cukup saat bekerja didalam kapal, membutuhkan sirkulasi udara yang baik saat bekerja didalam kapal, dan membutuhkan peningkatan pengawasan kepada operator agar operator dapat bekerja dengan aman dan disiplin dalam bekerja. Serta membutuhkan pengoptimalan manajemen waktu dalam bekerja, agar operator dapat bekerja dengan baik dan memiliki waktu istirahat yang cukup.

this study were known hypertensive 44(69.8%) with average duration of hypertension for 3.4 years . Target organ damage was seen in 54% of
these patients. Totally 44 (58.7%) patients were diabetics with average duration of diabetes for 2.6years, of them 34(77.2%) of the diabetics
were centrally obese . 34(75.6%) of males were smokers and 22(48.9%) were alcoholics,43.3% of females were overweight .34.7% of patients
had hypercholesterolemia. In this 68(89.3%) of the patients were found to have chronic kidney disease, study 48(64%) had cardiac
complications in the form of coronary artery disease or congestive heart failure. The Major cause for hospital admissions was heart failure
(33.5%).
CONCLUSION: Awareness among the geriatric population on the need for early detection and treatment compliance for hypertension and
diabetes is poor. This calls for community wide education on these non-communicable diseases. Cardiac complication were most common
macrovascular complication among these people and most common microvascular complications being renal diseases. cardiac complications
are the major cause for morbidity and mortality.
Development of a Diabetes Melitus Detection and Prediction Model Using Light Gradient Boosting Machine and K-Nearest Neighbour
Authors: Omodunbi B. A
Published: April 2021

Diabetes mellitus is a health disorder that occurs when the blood sugar level becomes extremely high due to body resistance in producing the required amount of insulin. The aliment happens to be among the major causes of death in Nigeria and the world at large. This study was carried out to detect diabetes mellitus by developing a hybrid model that comprises of two machine learning model namely Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). This research is aimed at developing a machine learning model for detecting the occurrence of diabetes in patients. The performance metrics employed in evaluating the finding for this study are Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) Curve, Five-fold Cross-validation, precision, and accuracy score. The proposed system had an accuracy of 91% and the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve was 93%. The experimental result shows that the prediction accuracy of the hybrid model is better than traditional machine learning
The Dynamics of Family Life Cycle in a Traditional African City: Implications for Households’ Housing Demand

Published: April 2021

This paper examines the effect of the family life cycle on housing demand in different residential areas of Ibadan Municipality with a view to providing information on households‟ housing consumption for enhanced housing delivery. Data for the study were collected through questionnaire administered on household heads in the core, transition and suburban residential areas of Ibadan Municipality using multi-stage sampling. In doing this, the political wards in the five local government areas were stratified into differential residential areas, thus making 59 political wards in the study area. Therefore, one political ward each was selected across the different residential areas of the five LGAs, thereby totalling 15 political wards. Respondents were drawn from 10% of identified buildings for questionnaire administration using a systematic sampling technique, thus making 363 household heads selected. The study revealed that respondents‟ socio-economic characteristics varied significantly across different residential areas. The study also established that the proportion of households in stage four of the family life cycle, increased as distance increases from the core towards the suburban residential areas. The predominant households‟ housing tenure status was the leasehold. The study concluded that stages in family life cycle influenced households housing demand.

This paper proposes a stochastic non-linear model predictive controller to support policy-makers in determining robust optimal non-pharmaceutical strategies to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic waves. First, a time-varying SIRCQTHE epidemiological model is defined to get predictions on the pandemic dynamics. A stochastic model predictive control problem is then formulated to select the necessary control actions (i.e., restrictions on the mobility for different socio-economic categories) to minimize the socio-economic costs. In particular, considering the uncertainty characterizing this decision-making process, we ensure that the capacity of the healthcare system is not violated in accordance with a chance constraint approach. The effectiveness of the presented method in properly supporting the definition of diversified non-pharmaceutical strategies for tackling the COVID-19 spread is tested on the network of Italian regions using real data. The proposed approach can be easily extended to cope with other countries' characteristics and different levels of the spatial scale.

Aim. To determine possible alternative algorithms for root canal disinfection through the combined use of chemical and physiotherapeutic irrigation techniques under in vitro conditions.Materials and methods. Single-root teeth removed according to orthodontic indications were used as a substrate for the formation of a biofilm. The formation of a mixed biofilm is carried out in several stages, successively introducing the following strains: Streptococcus sanguinis; Fusobacterium nucleatum; Porphyromonas gingivalis. Cultivation was carried out under fluid conditions under anaerobic conditions, for 168 hours. After the cultivation, the teeth were treated using: a solution of chlorhexidine bigluconate 2%; a solution of sodium hypochlorite 3%; photodynamic exposure with Fotoditazin photosensitizer; 1.0% sodium hypochlorite solution in combination with photodynamic exposure. The results were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy.Results. The results of scanning electron microscopy revealed differences between the samples of the control group and the comparison group. The number of bacterial cells was significantly lower in the comparison group than in the control group, however, in all samples, the presence of microbial biofilm sites was noted with varying degrees of severity. In the samples where standard concentrations were used, there was a change in the ultrastructure of the walls of the dentine tubules with its partial destruction and obturation by its own fragments of the walls with the presence of microbial cells. When using the photodynamic effect of destruction was not observed. The microbial landscape had a similar species composition, and more fragments of biofilm and individual cells were observed only in the case of PDT without a combination with an antiseptic.Conclusions. A comprehensive approach to endodontic treatment using photodynamic therapy together with antiseptic solutions in low concentrations allows us to achieve the best effect of pathogen eradication in comparison with the standard chemomechanical method.
