Hyper-Competitive Industrial Markets: Implications for Urban Planning and the Manufacturing Renaissance
Authors: Ferm Jessica
Published: October 2023

After several decades of deindustrialisation in the so-called advanced economies, we are seeing a renewed enthusiasm for urban manufacturing in cities, and the integration of production into the city fabric. Yet, small-scale industrial accommodation has long been susceptible to displacement by higher-value land uses—particularly residential and prime office—which directly undermines such aspirations. This article focuses on the case of London and, through a review of planning policy and planning documents, market data, and participant observation in both public and private sector networks, provides evidence for and explores the impacts of a hyper-competitive industrial market that has emerged as an outcome of ongoing limited supply and growing demand in the sector. Although it signals a reversal of displacement dynamics between industrial and residential uses, potentially slowing the loss of industrial land supply, it is also leading to a narrowing of demand and competition within the industrial market that leads to intra-industrial gentrification and threatens smaller manufacturers. The article reveals tensions and limitations in planning approaches that seek to manage industrial land supply and create a diversity of workspace accommodation, as well as a gap between popular policy narratives of industrious cities and manufacturing renaissance, and the coherence of policies to support them. The article concludes with a discussion of future research that could advance policy and other interventions to support manufacturing in cities, to further sustainability and social inclusion agendas.

Published: October 2023

In this article, based on its potential contribution to architectural design processes, research has been made on the “text-to-image” systems of artificial intelligence. In the research, the four most common systems Craiyon, Dall-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion were selected, and these systems were tested for coloring a pre-school education space. First of all, the “kindergarten” text was presented to the systems and according to this text, four alternative images were produced from each system. Afterward, the dominant color coding of the images was analyzed in the computer environment. The 3D model of preschool space was colored with the obtained color codes. The 16 images that emerged because of coloring were presented to 62 expert participants, consisting of preschool teaching and architecture/interior architecture department members, accompanied by a survey. In the survey, the experts were asked to evaluate the colored images in “entertainment” and “academic” contexts. As a result of the statistical analysis of the survey data showed that the Craiyon system used colors more successfully than other systems in terms of coloring a preschool education space. This study measured the ability of artificial intelligence systems from text-to-image to interpret the text in terms of the production of color codes suitable for the type of space. However, it has been tried to articulate such systems to architectural design areas and to open the door from a unique perspective.

Face VS Figures: Features of Constructing the Age of an Unfamiliar Person Based on the Perception of His Portrait and Height Photographs
Authors: Vorontsova T.A. , Artamonova A.G.
Published: October 2023

The aim of the work was to identify the features of constructing the age of an unfamiliar person based on the perception of his face (portrait photography) and physique (height photography). The main method was the procedure of "Photovideopresentation of the appearance" by T.A. Vorontsova. Photographs of four women and four men of different ages were presented to the subjects of perception for age assessment; the eye movements of the subjects of perception were tracked using the Gazepoint GP3 Eye Tracker. The sample of perception subjects included 76 people — 38 men (M=28.84 years) and 38 women (M=28.79 years) aged 21 to 59 years. Results: 1) the perceived age of an unfamiliar person, constructed by the observing subject on the basis of the perception of a face (portrait photograph), significantly differs from the age constructed on the basis of the perception of his integral appearance, presented in a growth photograph. The differences are mediated by the gender-age characteristics of the object of perception; 2) the number of fixations in solving the problem of determining the age of an unfamiliar person when considering his portrait photography is significantly greater than when considering a growth photograph, regardless of the gender and age characteristics of the object of perception; differences in viewing time are mediated by gender and age of the object of perception: the face of women and mature adults is viewed longer than photos of their integral appearance (growth photos); 3) the number of fixations and the time of viewing the faces of women is significantly more than the faces of men; there are significantly more faces of mature people than young people; the number of fixations in the perception of a growth photograph of women is significantly greater than a growth photograph of men; 4) the greatest concentration of views in determining the age of an unfamiliar person is focused on his face, regardless of the accessibility to the perception of body features. The "triangle of interest" in the perception of portrait photography (forehead, bridge of nose, eyes, nose, upper lip) is described; when perceiving a growth photograph, the zone of the greatest concentration of fixations includes 2/3 of the upper left part of the face of the object of perception and captures the hair, forehead, ear, nose, eyes. The results obtained are discussed in the context of a communicative approach to perception research.

Is it okay to be not okay? Review of research on attitudes towards people with mental disorders
Authors: Romanova M.O.
Published: October 2023

The prevalence of mental disorders in the modern world is constantly increasing. Along with it, people's awareness of the specifics of various mental disorders is growing, but it does not lead to a decrease in negative perceptions about their carriers. Most often in modern social sciences, these ideas are investigated in the context of stigmatization of people with mental disorders. This is a complex phenomenon which consists of labelling and stereotyping, exclusion and discrimination, which co-occur in the presence of status differences between groups. Stigmatization influences almost all spheres of life: family life (interpersonal relationships with relatives and friends and participation in their lives), occupational activity (hiring perspectives, relationships with management and colleagues), therapy (relationships with medical staff, treatment quality). Special attention in comprehensive literature is paid to self-stigmatization, which does not only stem from stigmatization, but also enhances its other consequences. The purpose of this review is to summarize and analyze the results of modern foreign studies of stigmatization and self-stigmatization of people with mental disorders, as well as to highlight the consequences of these processes both for people with mental disorders themselves within different levels and in various spheres of life (personal, occupational) and for society in general.

Published: October 2023

Polyaryletherketone polymers have been widely used for biomaterials in orthopaedic, trauma, and spinal implants. Polyaryletherketone has three different variants viz: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) and Polyetherketone (PEK). In this research work, an emergent critical review of the material (PEKK) which are used in removable and fixed prosthesis in dentistry. The following databases were identified in systematic research which comprises certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. The databases are EMBASE, cochrane library, MEDLINE, PUBMED, Ovid MEDLINE, web of science. This study assesses the eligibility screening, data extraction and quality assessment. Many studies were assessed to improve PEKK containing osseointegration, surface modification of PEKK, etc. In animal models, in vivo studies were performed. To the best of my knowledge any author targeted for the evaluation of the removable and fixed prosthesis usage of PEKK as a biomaterial. This review showed that the wide application of PEKK is used in different aspects of dentistry. The PEKK materials in comparison of PEEK have suitable physical, mechanical, and chemical qualities (discussed in details in following sections) and can be employed in a variety of applications, including framework for an implant-supported and crown and bridge fixed prosthesis, endo crowns, restorative material, and dental biomaterial implants. Wider uses in clinical dentistry may also result from modifications and improved material qualities. As PEKK has only lately been used in dentistry and there are little research available, long-term evaluations are required for extensive validation of the same.

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: Residency is the main stage in the training of highly qualified medical personnel. Requirements for the level of training and professional values of future doctors are increasing, approaches to training and assessment technologies are changing, which imposes additional responsibility on all participants in the educational process: teachers, mentors and residents.
AIM: To identify the factors and conditions that affect the professional adaptation of residents in the first months of training.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study involved 369 residents studying at Kazan State Medical University, Kazan (Volga region) Federal University, Kazan State Medical Academy, aged 22 to 36 years. Residents were subdivided into groups according to the following criteria: specialty, place of previous training, basis of training (by general competition, target, commercial), gender, age, clinical base of residency. An original questionnaire developed by the authors containing 27 questions was used. Questions of the questionnaire concerned various aspects of the adaptation of residents. Filling the questionnaire was anonymous and was carried out using Internet survey technology via Yandex Forms. Statistical analysis and visualization of the obtained data were performed using the StatTech v. 3.0.9. Categorical data were described with absolute values and percentages. Comparison of percentages in the analysis of multifield contingency tables was performed using Pearson's χ2 test.
RESULTS: Satisfaction with training was considered as one of the indicators of successful adaptation of residents. Based on the results of the 1st and 2nd months of residency training, 48.2% of respondents showed satisfaction with their training. There were no significant differences in the degree of satisfaction among residents of various specialties (p=0.424). Statistically significant differences (method used — Pearson's χ2) were established by the presence of a mentor/curator, as well as cases of disrespectful attitude on the part of the medical staff of the clinical base where they were trained, patients and their relatives, and the administration of the institution (p 0.05). The dependence of the process of residents’ adaptation on the chosen specialty, place of previous training, the basis of training (by general competition, target, commercial), gender, age, clinical base of residency was not found.
CONCLUSION: The conditions for successful adaptation of residents are the presence of a mentor from a medical organization, the accuracy of the instructions received, the frequency of meetings with a teacher/curator, the attention of the head of the department to the work and study of residents, and the motivation for learning from the residents themselves.

Tobacco use and outcomes of pregnancy: A community-based cross-sectional study among the women in the reproductive age group in the rural area of Belgaum District, Karnataka, South India
Authors: Kulkarni Namratha , Naik Vijaya A
Published: October 2023

Exposure to tobacco smoke affects all stages of human reproduction. Smoking is not rare among Indian women, but research over the past decade has shown that Indian women’s use of smokeless tobacco products is substantial and increasing, with negative consequences for both oral morbidity and perinatal health, including premature delivery, low birth weight, and birth length.

This study was done to know the prevalence of tobacco consumption among rural women in the reproductive age group and its association with the outcomes of pregnancy

A community-based cross-sectional study, was conducted from January 2011 to December 2011 among 1200 rural women aged between 15 years to 49 years residing in Primary Health Centre (PHC) Vantmuri area, Belgaum, Karnataka, India. Statistical analysis was done using rates, ratios, and chi-square tests.

The prevalence of tobacco consumption was 9.7%. In this study, we found that except for the first pregnancy outcomes, and all the subsequent outcomes of the pregnancies, the differences are statistically significant indicating an association between tobacco consumption and the outcome of pregnancy. Also, a significant association was found between tobacco consumption and low birth weight.

Women under the reproductive age group constitute an important cohort of the population. A significant association was found between tobacco consumption and the outcomes of pregnancy. It has become the need of the hour to provide enough evidence on the correlates of tobacco use in the community and to put increasing effort against the expansion of tobacco companies in developing countries, which are often aimed at women.

Published: October 2023

Apart from the impact on mortality rates, CVDs often present as chronic conditions, adding to the stress of caregiving to their caregivers. Males and females cope differently with the stressors in general. In this study, we aim to investigate the gender-based variations in coping strategies among primary caregivers of individuals with CVD.

: A sample size of 384 households was selected using systematic random sampling for the study and household was the primary sampling unit. The information was collected regarding the stressors and various coping strategies utilized by primary caregivers to navigate different stressors.

Out of the total 384 caregivers, stressors were found in 347 caregivers who were then studied for coping strategies. Among primary caregivers, the proportion of women (58%) was more than men (42%)Planful problem-solving (85.9%) was found to be the most commonly preferred coping strategy among both genders, with no significant association. Among other problem-oriented coping strategies, men caregivers reported using confrontive coping more frequently. While assessing emotion-focused coping strategies, Accepting responsibility (77.5%), Self-controlling (68.9%), Positive appraisal strategy (61.4%) and Distancing (36.3%) were found more likely to be adopted by women. Seeking social support (69%), both problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies were found more among women caregivers.

By implementing gender-sensitive approaches, we can better support caregivers and help them navigate the challenges of caregiving for individuals with cardiovascular diseases.

Published: October 2023

As the disease process does not affect both the ears simultaneously in all the cases, it is possible to identify in early stages of the disease process and arrest further progression by timely intervention. Hence, we aim to study the anatomical and functional changes in contralateral ear (CLE) in pts with unilateral CSOM.

prospective observational study, of 75 patients attending the OPD of JLN hospital and research center, Bhilai, with unilateral CSOM, with intact TM in CLE were evaluated by otoscope, PTA, Impedance audiometry and CT temporal bone. Above observations were recorded and analyzed.

44% in our study showed abnormal TM, most common was TM retraction, seen in 22.66%. PTA showed mixed hearing loss in 5.33% and normal hearing in 66.66%. Impedance audiometry had A type graph in 82.66%, As type in 10.66%. Compliance was normal in 82.66% and decreased in 10.66%. Pressure was normal in 97.33% and was decreased in 2.66%. Normal, well pneumatized air cells in HRCT temporal bone seen in 90.66% and opacified in 12%.

A detailed otoscopic evaluation of the contralateral ear plays a vital role in early diagnosis of the pathology affecting the contralateral ear. Audiological evaluation of the contralateral ear by audiometry and tympanometry provides a pathway for detecting the functional abnormalities in the contralateral ear at an early stage. Knowing the radiological status of the contralateral ear can guide us to monitor the disease progression and plan accordingly.

Philosopical Relativism and Experience of the Second Person
Authors: Sowa Patryk
Published: October 2023

The article is a retrospection of the internship, that me, as a young yet-to-be graduate of Applied Anthropology studies in John Paul’s II Catholic University of Lublin undertook in Zambia. As a student, it always baffled, are there are ways to compare a world views, in order to evaluate which one is better? Is it even possible, in the world where so many people from so many cultures exist, to find some universal values on which everyone can agree? Why would one stand by his statement that a given thing is right, while so many things are just “encoded” to us whether we like it or not. That is when I have found out about the idea of “relativism”, and amazed by it, decided to make it my main field of interest. Now, as a full-fledged graduate, I look back at my experience and contemplate the nature of the interaction with the second person. I reflect on the idea of relativism, while supporting myself with the works of Wittgenstein and Maria Baghramian. I also formulate my own ideas based on what I have experienced during my work in Africa as an foreigner in a territory I knew very little about.

Published: October 2023

Background. The mirror of a female’s reproductive health is the menstrual cycle. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic itself acts as a significant stressor. This leads to women’s overall health and life quality disturbance. Moreover, patients struggle with long COVID effects, which is a prolongation of symptoms after recovery. Due to the expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 receptors in the intestinal mucosa and inflammation, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is also triggered by the virus.Objectives. To assess the efficacy of the chosen treatment approach in women with changes in premenstrual syndrome and cyclicity due to long COVID with or without GI symptoms.Material and methods. A single-centre longitudinal interventional study was organized. Were studied data from the conducted tests (progesterone level, ultrasound follicle scan, etc.) and surveys. Then the effectiveness of the suggested treatment with the use of oral and vaginal forms of progesterone was evaluated. The study was held in the Kyiv City Center of Reproductive and Perinatal Medicine (Ukraine) from January to June 2021.Results. On average 78% patients without GI symptoms experienced relief after 3 months and 89% patients after 6 months of suggested treatment. 71% patients with GI symptoms experienced improvement after 3 and 87% of them after 6 months. The vaginal progesterone had better results compared to oral form. Averagely 6–8% experienced side effects (nausea, hypotension, less compliance) due to progesterone intake. The vaginal micronised progesterone also presented better results than oral with fewer side effects compared to the total number of participants.Conclusions. The proposed approach has shown particular correction of the menstrual cycle disturbances in women with long COVID. Vaginal micronized progesterone offers more promising outcomes in patients with GI symptoms and disrupted absorption, compared to the oral form.Further investigation is required for a more reasonable conclusion.

Такі системи достатньо розвинуті, але для їх ефективної роботи необхідна інформація у режимі реального часу, з використанням якої можливо виявляти підозрілу активність неавторизованої сторони. Таку інформацію можна проаналізувати з використанням експертних підходів. Експертні методи можуть допомогти виявляти нові неочікувані кібератаки. Використання методів, моделей і систем на основі теорії нечітких множин при побудові засобів виявлення аномалій, породжених реалізацією нових кіберзагроз, дозволить удосконалити та зробити більш ефективними існуючі системи виявлення вторгнень. А розробка відповідних технічних рішень, що працюють в нечітких умовах, дозволить виявляти раніше не відомі та модифіковані види кібератак. Також є досить ефективні розробки, які використовуються для вирішення завдань виявлення кібератак, наприклад, низка методів формування еталонного субдовкілля для системи виявлення вторгнень, але вони не орієнтовані на фішингові підходи. Однак, як показує практика, при появі нових загроз та відповідних аномалій, породжених атакуючими діями з невстановленими або нечітко визначеними властивостями, відповідні засоби не завжди залишаються ефективними, тому розробка методів, що дозволяють удосконалити процес отримання нового еталонного субдовкілля для системи виявлення вторгнень, є актуальним завданням. Одним із небезпечних засобів, який направлений на збір конфіденційної інформації, такої як логіни, паролі, фінансові реквізити та інші особисті дані є фішинг. Для цього розроблений метод формування еталонного субдовкілля для виявлення фішингових URL-адрес за рахунок сформованого набору параметрів: кількість країн за IP-адресою, вік домену та експертного оцінювання стану субдовкілля інформаційної системи дозволить формалізувати процес формування параметрів еталонного субдовкілля для вирішення задач, щодо виявлення фішингових URL-адрес.

The legal identity of individuals is critical in digital ecosystems, and biometric systems play a vital role in verifying identities throughout their lives. However, these systems also pose significant risks and require responsible use. The European Union has established a digital strategy to create a trusted and secure digital identity, setting a global standard for technological development in identification. In line with the General Data Protection Regulation Article 9(1), member countries must justify any exceptions to the rule provided. France has taken a leading role in using unique identification legally, implementing digitally processed attributes such as facial recognition through the Alicem application on smartphones to identify individuals in a digital environment, and improving e-services uniquely. Specifically, the article analyses the General Data Protection Regulation Article 9, paragraph 1, and the exceptional conditions outlined in paragraph 2 (a) (g) along with scrutinized legislation in France of Decree n°2019-452 of 13 May 2019, which authorized the use of unique identification known as ‘Certified Online Authentication on Mobile.’ The research recommends that EU member countries taking approaches to introduce GDPR Article 9 into national legislation should consider their citizens’ specific needs and concerns while aligning with the European Union law because it is critical to balance the benefits of biometric systems with the risks posed to personal data protection, ensuring that their responsible use contributes to a secure and trustworthy digital ecosystem.

Published: October 2023

The implementation of EU legislation into Ukrainian domestic legislation is becoming more and more relevant, given Ukraine’s determination to follow the European integration route and the grant of EU candidateship to Ukraine in the summer of 2022. Competition law is undoubtedly one of the current priority fields for the EU, as it ensures and guarantees the development of the internal market. Simultaneously, in recent years, not only the creation of a competitive environment but also the provision of a right to compensation for damages caused by an infringement of competition law, as a specific type of compensation outside the traditional branch of civil law, has been crucial in the EU. To address the peculiarities of compensation for damages in competition law, the EU adopted Directive 2014/104/EU. The adoption of Directive 2014/104/EU and the outline of its main provisions and principles were based on several landmark decisions of the CJEU. For Ukraine, the issue of compensation for damages in competition law is new and unexplored in the scientific, let alone legislative, field, as there are almost no scientific publications on this question.Therefore, it is vital for Ukrainian legal science and practice to explore the formation and development of provisions regulating the issue of compensation for damages caused by infringements of competition law in the judgments of the CJEU and EU legislation, as well as the fundamental principles and provisions set out in Directive 2014/104/EU. All eight principles, enshrined in the Damages Directive serve as a basis for numerous provisions of the Directive. Among these, the principle of full compensation for damages, which is reflected in almost every norm related to consumer rights, can be considered fundamental for the entire field of compensation in EU competition law.It is critical to implement the defined principles and other provisions of the Damages Directive in Ukrainian competition legislation once Ukraine wins the war.
Non-Standard Labor Contractual Relations on Digital Platforms
Authors: Shumylo Mykhailo
Published: October 2023

The article examines current trends in labor usage on digital platforms. The author emphasizes that the irregularity of these relations has numerous negative socio-economic consequences, including shadow employment, lack of fair competition, tax evasion, etc. Therefore, determining the legal framework becomes a priority for improving labor legislation. The author emphasizes that the national court practice is just beginning to take shape in the field of establishing the existence of labor contractual relations on digital platforms. There is an objective need to revise archaic approaches that distinguish between civil law and labor law contracts. The highest hopes for changing this paradigm should be placed on the Supreme Court, which, through its quasi-precedent decision, can adjust and set a new tone in the establishment of employment relations.The article cites the decisions from foreign courts that have recognized drivers providing passenger transportation services using digital platforms as employees with appropriate social and labor guarantees. This practice outlines the vector for the development of further scientific research in this: and can also serve as an example for national courts, especially in terms of identifying the criteria for establishing the fact of an employment relationship.Proposed criteria for distinguishing between civil contractual and labor contractual relations may include: (1) temporal (the amount of time a driver spends providing taxi services); (2) the degree of his/her dependence on a digital platform (conditional employer); and (3) the share of income received by an employee in the structure of his/her monthly income. The comprehensive application of these criteria to specific situations makes it possible not only to distinguish the labor contractual relationship, but can also serve to regulate it.

Published: October 2023

The article deals with gustatives for various dishes detected in the dialects of the two ettlements (Arbuzynka and Kostiantynivka) of Arbuzynka district, Mykolaiv region. They belong to the Western Steppe group (the steppe dialect) of the southeastern supradialect of the Ukrainian language. Glutonyms are an integral part of the Ukrainian dialectical worldview, they form a certain system on the basis of inherited and borrowed vocabulary. A semantic and etymological analysis of the specified fragment of this system is offered.
The purpose of the research is to analyze the lexical-semantic peculiarities of gustatives for hot traditional dishes and dishes of vegetable and animal origin, which are common in the dialects of the settlements of Arbuzynka and Kostiantynivka, Arbuzynka district, Mykolaiv region. The source base of the research was field recordings of speech, collected in 2019 according to a specially compiled questionnaire. Twenty recipients took part in the survey.
The lexical-semantic group “Hot traditional dishes” and lexical-semantic group “Dishes of animal and vegetable origin”, which are components of the lexical-semantic field “Names of food”, were studied. The dialect vocabulary for designation of first and second dishes, as well as dishes with meat and lard is considered. The lexical-semantic peculiarities of gustatives are studied and their etymology is highlighted. A comparative analysis of the dialect vocabulary of two settlements was carried out. The common and distinctive features of dialect vocabulary and literary norm are determined.
Gustatives in the dialects of the studied settlements mostly coincide with the lexemes known to the Ukrainian literary language in terms of semantics, but differ phonetically. There are semantic differences and unequal areal behavior of dish names in dialects of the same district. The prospect of further research is in the expansion of the empirical base of Ukrainian dialectology and in the introduction into scientific circulation of new names of food and drinks common in Western Steppe dialects.
NOMINATIVE SPACE OF THE CONCEPT PARENTS IN HUTSUL LINGUISTIC WORLD-IMAGE
Authors: Diachuk V. R.
Published: October 2023

It has been acknowledged that against the background of unquenchable interest to the problem of speakers’ spiritual universe reconstruction the study of concepts remains one of the necessary and urgent tasks of modern linguistic research. The purpose of this study is to analyze the ways of linguistic implementation of the concept of parents in the local Hutsul world-image. The subject area is the concept of parents. The specific topic is the verbal ways of the analyzed concept representing in the Hutsul dialects. Achieving the set goal determined the choice of appropriate research methodology, especially: the continuous sampling method, which is aimed at isolating the linguistic representatives of the concept from dialect dictionaries and texts for the formation of actual research material; contextual analysis, which made it possible to find out the semantics of the conceptual verbalizers; modeling method that helped to establish the field structure of the nominative concept space.
Advances in research is determined by the fact that it is the first time attempts to analyze the ways of linguistic objectification of the concept of parents in the dialectal scope. A recognized theoretical value and practical value is represented in drawing the scientists’ attention to dialect conceptology as an interesting and promising direction.
The conclusion and potential future directions of research. Nominative space of the concept of parents is heterogeneous in the Hutsul world-image. It is formed by simple (synthetic) linguistic means, expressed by separate words, and complex (analytical) means represented by a whole compound. The potential future directions of research is connected with the analysis of the nominative space of the concept of parents in the Middle-upper-Dnieper dialects.
