Manifesting the Imagined Homeless Body: A Case Study of the Men’s Social Services Centre, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK
Authors: Moss Oliver , Irving Adele
Published: April 2024

In this article, we explore the changing ways in which the homeless body has been conceptualised by architects and providers of accommodation for single homeless individuals. Tracing developments from the post-war period to the present, we focus on the needs and characteristics of single homeless individuals as they are variously imagined and constructed through the architectural design process. Through detailed examination of the life course of the Ryder & Yates-designed Salvation Army Men’s Social Services Centre, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, we explore how conceptions of the homeless body—shaped by, inter alia, architectural references, professional orthodoxies, and prevailing ideologies of homelessness—influenced the lived experience of the building. In so doing, we bring renewed attention to the capacity of architectural design to generate and shape the affective responses of the single homeless body, and thus the architectural profession’s vital role in tackling the homelessness problem.

Global Pistachio Production Forecasts for 2020–2025

Abstract: By using 59 years of pistachio production data between 1961-2019, the production data of the leading countries in the 2020-2025 periods were tried to be predicted with the help of the ARIMA time series model. ARIMA (p, d, q) analysis model has been used by obtaining 59 years of production data from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). In addition, the data obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TSI), FAO, and the International Trade Centre (ITC) were also used in the comparison of production, export and import per capita. In the study, the world production data for the period of 2020-2025 were tried to be estimated with the data between 1961-2019. As a result of the findings obtained, according to the data obtained in the world, Iran, USA, Turkey, China and Syria, an increase in production is foreseen in all countries and the world where studies are carried out in pistachio production. While the share of the five countries, which are the leaders in Pistachio production between 1961 and 2019, in the total world production is 97.99%, the share of Pistachio production between 2020-2025 in the total production is expected to be 97.51%. While the share of Iran and Syria from these five countries in world production will decrease, the share of the USA, Turkey and China will increase. The two leading countries in pistachio exports are Iran and the USA. The fact that Germany, which does not influence production, has a significant share in both exports and imports brings to mind the derivative demand situation. Turkey, Iran, and Syria can create a better marketing strategy by reducing imports to Germany and increasing exports to European Union countries.

Expert opinion on stroke management: An Indian observational study
Authors: S Manjula , M Krishna Kumar
Published: April 2024

: Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability and one of the top causes of mortality worldwide. The burden in India has been increasing at an alarming rate over the past few decades. India with its culturally diverse environment and economically developing status presents unique challenges in stroke management. This study is an initiative designed to gain a better understanding of stroke prevalence and therapy in India.

: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study among Indian Cardiologists was conducted. A convenient sampling method was used.

About 34% of doctors said that acute stroke is most prevalent in the age group of 41- 50 years in their clinical setup. The study results also highlight that piracetam 800mg is the preferred effective option for age-related cognitive disorders. Some of them preferred Piracetam for vertigo of mixed origin, vestibular, and other associated disorders of vertiginous attacks. 51% of doctors observed that vertigo is diagnosed more frequently among both genders, more common in the age group of 21-30 years. 93% of doctors agreed that piracetam improves cognitive improvement post-surgery. Three-fourths of doctors who participated in the survey rated 45% of doctors prescribed the combination of piracetam and citicoline in post-stroke recovery patients. Also, 40% of them prescribed neuroprotective agents to 51-70% of stroke patients.

This study demonstrated that the stroke prevalence rate is high among patients above 40 years of age. Piracetam 800 mg is commonly prescribed to most of the stroke patients. Half of the respondents felt that there was a significant improvement in cognitive decline with piracetam. This study's findings highlight that piracetam is an effective option for age-related cognitive disorders.
The Effect of Spatial Competition on Retail Gasoline Prices
Authors:   Institute of International Economics and Finance, Russian Foreign Trade Academy, Gordeev Dmitriy , Galeeva Ekaterina ,   Institute of Applied Economic Research, RANEPA
Published: April 2024

This paper explores the nature of retail gasoline market competition in the Russian Federation by applying a detailed panel structure database at the level of individual filling stations. This market is a highly concentrated one, which theoretically enables companies to exercise market power. Furthermore, in most of the administrative districts of the Russian Federation, one vertically integrated oil company will dominate; this is often the company located nearest to its own refinery. Spatial econometric analysis has yielded some interesting empirical results concerning how the local market is affected. First, there is no confirmation of the hypothesis that gas stations compete only with the nearest gas stations. Second, there is strong evidence that stations compete with other filling stations located within five kilometers, and the intensity of competition decreases as the distance between stations increases. A relationship between certain characteristics of filling stations and the price behavior of individual filling stations also became evident. These results suggest that retail fuel prices are influenced by such features of filling stations as brand name and services provided. The conclusion is that the brand name of competing stations and even the geographical distribution of these specific brands are more important determinants of the retail price of gasoline than the number of competing stations.
Valuation of E-Сommerce Goods Imported Into the Customs Territory of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)
Authors:   Financial University Under the Government of the Russian Federation, Sidorova Elena ,   RUDN University, Artemyev Aleksei
Published: April 2024

The increases in cross-border electronic commerce (e-commerce) over the past decade have generated enormous opportunities for the global economy by providing new cross-border transactions, prompting development of new business models, driving new consumption trends, and creating new jobs. E-commerce has become a game changer for international trade while also giving rise to a wide range of challenges for customs regulation and methodology all over the world. The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is no exception, and its members have been working on amendments to the union’s Customs Code since 2021. One of the greatest challenges is arriving at valuations. It may seem that e-commerce is merely another form of trade, but the authors maintain that we need to acknowledge the changes it brings to the trade environment and provide solutions that deal with them. Suitable valuation of e-commerce goods is a crucial element in those solutions. The authors propose separate e-commerce valuation approaches for the different business models in e-commerce: business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-warehouse-to-consumer (BWC). In order to respond to existing and emerging challenges in revenue collection, particularly for the large number of relatively low-value and small-scale cross-border e-commerce transactions, the authors recommend using sales value for the B2C model and customs value for the BWC model, and they offer their views on how to assign the sales value and the customs value of e-commerce goods. Although the authors’ proposals are largely reflected in Article 309 entitled “Value of e-commerce goods purchased by natural persons” of the protocol adopted in December 2023, it should be noted that this approach constitutes a fundamentally new kind of customs regulation. In it such constructions as “information on the final value” may be interpreted as establishing the price of goods solely according to the value set in the marketplace. However, such an interpretation will inevitably run the risk of conflicts between buyers of goods and e-commerce operators, on the one hand, and customs authorities, on the other.
Improving Compliance With Antitrust Measures Through Commercial Policies
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Avdasheva Svetlana , Yusupova Gyuzel , Khomik Olesya
Published: April 2024

Commercial policies for major market participants were introduced in Russia about a decade ago in order to improve compliance with antitrust provisions and as a partial substitute for them. Experts were initially rather sceptical about this move because it was a departure from prevailing international practices and also imposed additional regulatory burdens on companies. This article examines whether commercial policies have been an effective way to improve antitrust compliance by Russia’s pharmaceutical companies, reduce erroneous accusations, and drive down the costs of antitrust enforcement for both the antitrust authorities and market players. Analysis of the commercial policies of several large pharmaceutical companies indicates that their rules are meant to address the abuse of market dominance in the sector which has been alleged by the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation (FAS). Inasmuch as a refusal to supply counts as an infringement of Russia’s legislation on competition and also in view of particular aspects of competition in the Russian pharmaceutical markets, such commercial policies have great potential, first, to diminish erroneous accusations and, second, to reduce the costs of enforcing the legislation on competition. The authors conclude that introducing commercial policies has been beneficial for both consumers (as represented by the FAS) and the pharmaceutical companies.
Design and Tests of Structural Post-Tensioned Glass T-Beams
Authors: Koca Emrullah , Turer Ahmet
Published: April 2024

Glass manifests superior properties with high strength and transparency although it may not be considered as a commonly used structural material. This study targets to improve the structural performance of glass by post-tensioning; a series of T-shaped glass beams are tested to develop a proper and safe design. Traditionally, glass is widely used in buildings as windows where its brittleness and strength capacity are not significant. Architects prefer to use glass in the structural field because of aesthetics, recyclability, and transparency. Although there is more demand for the usage of glass as a structural material, a common fear of its brittle nature and lack of research about its structural behavior have mostly hindered it. Since glass is a brittle material and has high compressive strength in the order of 400 to 800 MPa and lower tensile strength (40 to 120 MPa), post-tensioning to target distributed loads is investigated to increase its fracture capacity and even obtain a post-cracking ductile behavior. In this study, several material tests are conducted to confirm the theoretical mechanical properties of glass. After obtaining the bending and compressive strength of the glass, Finite Element Models (FEMs) of the T-beams were generated and analytical hand calculations were conducted. The tests of T-shaped annealed (float) and tempered (toughened) glass beams with and without post-tensioning were conducted. The results of the experiments were compared with the analytical hand calculations and FEM results. A favorable outcome of this study is that float glass’ post cracking strength has been drastically increased and a ductile post-cracking performance is obtained. Tempered glass has a brittle response but with much higher strength, with about 4 times the capacity of annealed glass T-beams

Published: April 2024

Brazilian public spending on environmental management is constant, being the state and the municipality of São Paulo the ones that have spent the most on this function. The preservation and care of the environment are becoming increasingly relevant in society and organizations. The public sphere manages and regulates this issue, being a key factor for public policies at all management levels. The objective of the study was to analyze the efficiency of São Paulo municipalities in managing environmental public spending, in the period from 2011 to 2015, and to identify the determinants of efficiency. The methodologies applied were Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the efficiency and Multiple Linear Regression to identify the determinants. The DEA results indicated that the efficient municipalities each year were not those that allocated the least public resources in environmental management or those that obtained the highest environmental indicator score. The determinants of efficiency were: the overall municipal human development index; the percentages of people: with piped water and installed toilets, those with higher education above 25 years old, and the poor. Municipal efficiency was identified in municipalities that have lower impacts on the determinants. Furthermore, the results contribute to the decision-making process in the management of public spending and in the elaboration of public policies that can reduce the impacts of external factors on environmental management in the municipalities of São Paulo. And, with that, promote an increase in the environmental indicator, which consequently can bring improvements in the quality of life of citizens.

Published: April 2024

Ethiopia, like many developing nations, has struggled with the problem of low utilization of maternal healthcare services. The main objective of this study is to investigate the awareness and application of modern maternal healthcare usage and to identify the determinant factors that affect the usage of modern maternal healthcare services in Ethiopia. A quantitative approach to the survey questionnaire was employed. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 240 respondents from a sample of women aged between 18 and 49. Using statistical software, the collected data were analyzed using categorical variable tests and binary logistic regression. The findings showed that, from the total of 240 respondents, some of the respondents had not attended Antenatal care,  delivery care, and postnatal care.  Therefore, from the findings of the study, the researchers have concluded that to increase health care utilization, the concerned bodies should be expanding access to health services, improving the quality of antenatal care services, conducting awareness-raising promotions, and providing training for health workers to increase their skills and professional ethics.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to help students with poor mathematical skills communicate through mathematics. Two twelfth-grade senior high school students consisting of a male student (S1) and a female student (S2), with low mathematical performance, were selected as respondents. The subjects were determined by using the data pairing technique developed by Milles. Data were collected through test and semi-structured interviews and then analyzed qualitatively. The result of this study revealed that there are mathematical communication differences between male and female students. Both subjects presented mathematical ideas by writing down important points from the test. They utilized mathematical notation correctly and represented ideas in graphics adequately. The male student communicated their understanding better by connecting various concepts. At some point, they could not describe thoughts using written words properly. This study is expected to provide benefits for teachers in designing learning that can improve the learning outcomes of low-ability students.

Construction of smooth convex extensions of Boolean functions
Authors: Barotov Dostonjon N. , Barotov Ruziboy N.
Published: April 2024

Systems of Boolean equations are widely used in mathematics, computer science, and applied sciences. In this regard, on the one hand, new research methods and algorithms are being developed for such systems, and on the other hand, existing methods and algorithms for solving such systems are being improved. One of these methods is that, firstly, the system of Boolean equations given over the ring of Boolean polynomials is transformed into a system of equations over the field of real numbers, and secondly, the transformed system is reduced either to the problem of numerical minimization of the corresponding objective function, to a MILP or QUBO problem, to a system of polynomial equations solved on the set of integers, or to an equivalent system of polynomial equations solved by symbolic methods. There are many ways to transform a system of Boolean equations into a continuous minimization problem, since the fundamental difference between such methods and “brute force” local search algorithms is that at each iteration of the algorithm, the shift along the antigradient is performed on all variables simultaneously. But one of the main problems that arise when applying these methods is that the objective function to be minimized in the desired area can have many local minima, which greatly complicates their practical use. In this paper, a non-negative convex and continuously differentiable extension of any Boolean function is constructed, which is applied to solving an arbitrary system of Boolean equations. It is argued that the problem of solving an arbitrary system of Boolean equations can be constructively reduced to the problem of minimizing a function, any local minimum of which in the desired domain is a global minimum.
Reduced Hessian methods as a perturbed Newton–Lagrange method
Authors: Volkov Andrey A. , Izmailov Alexey F. , Uskov Evgeniy I.
Published: April 2024

For an equality-constrained optimization problem, we consider the possibility to interpret sequential quadratic programming methods employing the Hessian of the Lagrangian reduced to the null space of the constraints’ Jacobian, as a perturbed Newton–Lagrange method. We demonstrate that such interpretation with required estimates on perturbations is possible for certain sequences generated by variants of these methods making use of second-order corrections. This allows to establish, from a general perspective, superlinear convergence of such sequences, the property generally missing for the main sequences of the methods in question.
On the solution of a mixed problem for the equation of vibrations of a moving viscoelastic web
Authors: Romanenkov Alexandr M.
Published: April 2024

A model initial boundary value problem of small transverse oscillations of a viscoelastic moving web with a hinged condition of fastening is considered. The vibrations of such a canvas are described by a linear differential equation of the 5th order in a spatial variable with constant coefficients. It is worth noting that the equation includes mixed derivatives of the desired function both with respect to the spatial variable and with respect to time. The paper describes a technique for constructing a solution in the form of a functional series based on a system of basis functions. To solve the initial-boundary value problem under the additional condition of conservation of energy, a condition is obtained that ensures the uniqueness of the solution. A special class of functions for which the uniqueness theorem holds is explicitly described.
