Authors: Febrianti Ika Kurnia , Putra Andani Eka , Raveinal Raveinal , Elliyanti Aisyah
Published: September 2024

Objective: This study aimed to determine the description of the coagulation marker and how it implicates COVID-19 patients based on clinical outcomes in the form of enhancement severity and death. Method: The subjects were collected from patients with positive COVID-19 RT-PCR with medical records including demographic data, and laboratory results such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, leukocytes, platelets, coagulation markers (D-dimer, PT, and APTT), and patients outcomes post-treatment. Statistical analysis is performed by using chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests were considered statistically difference level of significant between variables. Result: The COVID-19 patients is classified into mild group with 27 subjects  (44.2%) and moderate-severe group 34 subjects (55.8%). Leukocytes, D-dimer, and PT levels significantly differed between mild and moderate-severe groups. All coagulation markers had a symptomatic effect on Covid-19 patients, increased D-dimer and prolonged prothrombin time in adult COVID-19 patients tend to be followed by the enhancement of severe symptoms and death
The Right of Establishment for Spouses of East African Community Citizens—a Paper Entitlement?
Authors: Nyotah Priscah , Abuya Edwin O , Situma Francis DP
Published: September 2024

The right of establishment (ROE) entitles nationals of the East African Community (EAC) to leave their home countries and establish, on a self-employed basis, commercial enterprises in other partner states (PSs). The 2009 Protocol on the Establishment of the East African Community Common Market (CMP) extended the ROE to self-employed individuals and their spouses (ROE spouses). Like the ROE holders, their spouses too are entitled to the same benefit. Despite the value of this entitlement to the lives and livelihoods of ROE spouses and their families, not much research has been done on the legal entitlements of these EAC citizens. This article aims to contribute to this field. It draws on theoretical and practical perspectives on the rights due to ROE spouses. The article reports on the results of a survey and comparative analyses of national immigration laws, which the authors conducted on the wider subject of the realisation of the ROE within the EAC. It contends that ROE spouses are discriminated against in the PSs. The domestic legal frameworks have created several barriers, rendering it difficult, if not impossible, for these community nationals to realise what they are entitled to. To address these challenges, the article proposes measures to ensure that PSs comply with their regional obligations. The article concludes that PSs must accord the ROE spouses the widest possible protection and provide assistance that is due to them under the EAC legal framework.
MONITORING OF EXTERNAL MIGRATION PROCESSES AS A TOOL OF REGIONAL MIGRATION POLICY
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow, Russia, Matraeva L. V. ,   MIREA – Russian Technological University, Moscow, Russia
Published: September 2024

The dual nature of the influence of international migration on the level of economic development, social situation and national security of the host country is considered. The author evaluates both the role of external migration as a compensatory component of natural population decline at the current stage of development, and the negative effects of this process. Taking into account the specifics of the regional structure of the Russian Federation and its inherent differentiation in terms of the level of socio-economic development, in order to increase the validity of management decisions regarding the regulation of migration flows at the regional level, a system of statistical indicators is proposed in the form of a model set of diverse indicators that characterize the impact of migration flows on the economy of the region and social burden on the population. The author examines 6 main analytical areas: contingent load, migration intensity, migration load, migration efficiency, migration density, migration effectiveness, represented by relevant indicators. This system of indicators was the basis for conducting multidimensional cluster analysis in order to identify regions that have a similar profile in terms of the influence of external migration processes. As a result, 6 clusters were identified and described, which have significant differences in terms of the influence of external migration processes on the socio-economic characteristics of the region. The application of the approach under consideration, according to the author, will help improve the quality of migration flow management and the effectiveness of migrant adaptation policies at the regional level.

Prevalence and Predictors of Sarcopenia, Protein-Energy Wasting, and Sarcopenic Obesity in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Yogesh M. , Nagda Jay , Kankhara Freya , Parmar Parth Anilbhai , Mody Mansi , Vyas Samyak Sanjaykumar , Patel Jainish Samirkumar
Published: September 2024

Background

Sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity, and protein-energy wasting (PEW) are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are associated with adverse outcomes. This study is aimed at determining their prevalence and predictors.

Materials and Methods

This cross-sectional study included 442 adult CKD patients. Sarcopenia was defined using a modified Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria, sarcopenic obesity as the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity, and PEW according to the International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism criteria.

Results

Sarcopenia prevalence was 29.9% (132 patients), with 9.5% being severe, 12.7% moderate, and 7.7% mild. Sarcopenic obesity affected 13.3% (59 patients) and PEW was noted in 27.3% (121 patients). Among sarcopenic patients, 59% met PEW criteria. Multivariate analysis identified increasing age, male sex, higher body mass index BMI, lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and cardiovascular disease as independent predictors of sarcopenia. Higher BMI, lower eGFR, and cardiovascular disease predicted sarcopenic obesity. For PEW, significant predictors included age, lower BMI, decreased eGFR, advanced CKD stage, cardiovascular disease, and sarcopenia.

Conclusion

Sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity, and PEW are highly prevalent in CKD patients, with substantial overlap. Advanced age, lower kidney function, and cardiovascular disease are significant predictors across all three conditions. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive nutritional assessment and targeted interventions in CKD patients.
Patterns of incidence and characteristics of youth with new-onset diabetes mellitus during the COVID era
Authors: Montgomery Emily L. , Jawad Kahir , Wintergerst Kupper , Watson Sara
Published: September 2024

Objectives:

The incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in children, adolescents, and young adults has been on the rise for many decades. The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with a dramatic increase in new cases of pediatric DM and a shift in the seasonal pattern of incidence. We aimed to determine the incidence of DM and its subtypes during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2022) and pre-pandemic (2017–2019). We sought to assess for a difference in seasonality and temporal pattern of new-onset DM between the two periods and aimed to describe and compare the clinical characteristics of the patients diagnosed during this time.

Material and Methods:

In this retrospective chart review, data were collected from medical records for all patients aged 1–21 years diagnosed with DM at our center between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2022.

Results:

The incidence of DM at our center increased 38% during the pandemic (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.38, 95% confidence interval; [CI] 1.20–1.58). The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) increased 11% (IRR 1.11, 95% CI 1.01–1.23) and the median body mass index percentile increased for those diagnosed during the pandemic (P = 0.012). The incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) increased 238% (IRR 3.38, 95% CI 2.17–5.28) during the pandemic, with the highest rate of diagnosis in a younger age group (P = 0.015). The pattern of incidence of T1D shifted from lowest in the summer pre-pandemic to highest in the summer during the pandemic (IRR 1.82, 95% CI 1.22–2.72). The overall incidence trend for DM, T1D, and T2D, peaked in spring 2021 and then declined until it stabilized in summer 2022.

Conclusion:

Our study showed a persistent increase in the incidence of both T1D and T2D in the pediatric population during the pandemic. Those diagnosed with T2D during the pandemic were younger than those diagnosed in the pre-pandemic period. There was a shift in seasonal pattern of T1D incidence during the pandemic with the highest rates of incidence during the summer. Further studies are needed to evaluate the underlying mechanisms of the persistent increase in incidence.
Cultural Tourism as a Resource for Memory Studies
Authors: Bugrova Ekaterina D. , Kirillova Natalia B.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the comprehension of tourism as an important tool for the preservation of cultural and historical heritage and the transmission of collective memory. Cultural and historical heritage (both tangible and intangible) is a factor in strengthening national identity and maintaining collective memory, being at the same time one of the main tourist resources that allow us to get in touch with history and culture. The study of the phenomenon of tourism from the perspective of memory studies clearly demonstrates that the direct visit of tourists to significant historical sites with a high level of symbolic capital contributes to a better perception of the images of the past embedded in them, and the impressions and experiences help not only to remember the information, but also to feel their own belonging to a certain culture. The example of sites important in the context of global and local history, such as the Battle of Stalingrad Museum-Reserve (Volgograd), the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum (Auschwitz) and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, shows how places of memory become popular tourist destinations without being overly commodified and commercialized. Consequently, a targeted approach to the positioning of cultural and historical sites and working with niche types of tourism that reflect the characteristics of specific places of memory provide an opportunity to develop tourism as one of the key forms of actualizing the past. This helps to attract a wide audience to learn about their history through interaction with authentic sites, rather than solely through entertainment media, and also reduces the risk of loss of cultural and historical heritage, which makes it possible to consider areas remote from major cultural centers as promising destinations.
Bibliographic Culture as a Factor of Security of Trusted Public Internet
Authors: Bylevskiy Pavel G.
Published: September 2024

The article deals with the problem of security of search in modern public computer-network resources of reliable, complete sources, their qualitative bibliographic description. The relevance is due to the “digital transformation”, the rapid spread of computer-network technologies since the 2010s to all sectors, as well as everyday life; a sharp and significant increase in the number and variety of electronic databases (libraries); turning the majority of humanity into daily active users. Objective international and national diseases of growth of standardization, streamlining, structuring of databases, development of indexing systems and search public network services, means of verification of electronic documents have manifested themselves.

Since 2014 and even later from 2022, the problem was exacerbated by the reduction of international cooperation in computer-network technologies, anti-Russian sanctions of unfriendly countries, violation of Russian legislation by global digital corporations, leapfrogging strengthening of cybercrime and information confrontation in the Internet. The possibilities of attackers who, by exploiting vulnerabilities, reduced the access of mass users to reliable electronic documents in cross-border Internet communications increased. The opportunities caused by the relativistic understanding of truth, fabrication and broadcasting of falsified information, fake news, disinformation, use of new means of “social engineering” (fraud, manipulation of consciousness) that threaten citizens and national interests of Russia have increased.

The novelty of the study lies in the integrated application of theoretical and cultural gnoseology (culture of cognition) and methodology of information security (countering deliberate attempts to mislead). The comparative analysis revealed significant differences between Russian state electronic libraries, document management systems, registers and services and non-state, as well as foreign public Internet resources and services. The result of the study is the conclusion about the importance of the prevalence of essential interests of mass users of Russian public libraries and electronic services. Recommendations on the preferability of applying this experience in the creation and modernization of Russian public non-state digital databases, libraries, services, as well as the development of standardization on its basis are formulated.
In Search of Beauty Formula
Authors: Zakhovaeva Anna G. , Zhukolina Maria V.
Published: September 2024

The main category of aesthetics — beauty is the focus of the study. Our epoch is a revision of some spiritual meanings both in the sphere of human life and in science and art. The aim of this paper is to derive a universal formula of beauty through the image of Venus on the basis of a comparative analysis of works of classical art, art of postmodernity, as well as to determine the possibilities of modern neural networks. Art of the 21st century is multifaceted, neuro-art is another of its aspects, artificial intelligence and Man of Art compete here. Neural network is a program built on the principle of organisation and functioning of nerve cells of a living organism. The neural network was tasked to represent the modern ideal of beauty in the image of Venus, similar to the way painters of previous epochs acted. Can modern neural networks create? Create spiritual values? Create beauty in art? In total, more than a thousand images were generated according to our requests, which allows us to draw certain conclusions about the representation of the image of Venus by artificial intelligence. An attempt to derive a formula of beauty for each period of art development and to find a universal one is presented. The modern understanding of beauty has absorbed all historical paradigms, but on a qualitative, essential level. Beauty is a subjective sensual perception of the appearance of an object that is capable of evoking positive emotions. It is not the beauty itself that is important, but the feeling of beauty. Beauty is the dominant value of being, which contains a harmonious combination of absolute values, what makes a person a Personality.
Self-Portrait as Self-Presentation in the Works of Female Painters of the Turn of the 19th—20th Centuries
Authors: Savenkova Inna I.
Published: September 2024

The article examines the creativity of women artists, which experienced an upsurge at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, associated with the removal of restrictions on their education at the Imperial Academy of Arts and the increasing need for self-realization in art. General tendencies are revealed, which do not concern the subject-technical side of the paintings, but allow us to draw generalizing conclusions about the artists’ thinking: self-determination and correlation of themselves with the creative environment, drawing attention to themselves as individuals. An attempt is made to understand the ways in which women were included in the full-fledged learning process as a group with its own socio-cultural characteristics.

The aim of the paper is to analyze the creative approach to self-portraiture of the female artists E.A. Kiseleva, E.K. Luksh-Makovskaya, O.L. Della-Vos-Kardovskaya, who started their professional path under one teacher — I.E. Repin. The relevance of the article lies in the attempt to raise the problem of studying women’s creativity in the creation of self-portraits, identifying its artistic specificity, defining the cultural and aesthetic basis.

The article focuses on the prerequisites for the formation of the creative method of female artists, based on the combination of individual and imitative. On the basis of consideration of the gallery of works the author develops a typology of female self-portrait: professional self-portrait, self-portrait-emotion, family self-portrait, self-portrait-image. It is traced how in the work of women-artists various artistic influences in Russia and Western Europe of the turn of the 19th—20th centuries, interpreted by them in their own way.
The Peculiarity of Nikolai Kochergin’s Creative Method in Illustrations to Chinese Fairy Tales
Authors: Yin Meng
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the creative heritage of Nikolai Mikhailovich Kochergin (1897—1974) in the field of illustrating Chinese fairy tales. The relevance of the topic is conditioned by the insufficient degree of study of the artist’s heritage in this area with the general interest of practitioners and art theorists in book illustration for children’s literature in the 20th century.

The aim of the article is to theoretically comprehend the artistic heritage of N.M. Kochergin on the basis of revealing the originality of the artist’s creative method of illustrating Chinese fairy tales. The following tasks are solved: to trace the creative path of N.M. Kochergin, in particular, his work in the field of illustrating literature of Eastern and Asian countries; to make a list of illustrated editions of Asian fairy tales by the artist; to reveal the influence of traditions of Chinese Gohua art on the artist’s work, specifically to study the compositional solution, the use of diffused perspective, other expressive means; to analyze the methods of stylization of images and symbols of Chinese culture and folklore in illustrations.

The presented research allows not only to determine the originality of N.M. Kochergin’s creative method of illustrating Chinese fairy tales, but also to identify the specificity of representation of Chinese culture for Russian readers. This problematic can contribute to the emergence of a holistic view of the synthesis and integration of Chinese art and culture in the Russian and world artistic process. The article studies illustrations by N.M. Kochergin for such editions of Asian fairy tales as “Chinese Folk Tales” (1953), “Ten Little Friends” (1954), “The Yellow Stork and the Mountain of the Sun” (1954), “The Liu Brothers” (1955), “Persistent Yun Su” (1955), “Fairy Tales of the Peoples of Asia” (1959).
Moscow Palace of Pioneers in the Cinema: A History Frozen in Time
Authors: Afanaseva Irina A. , Rusanova Nina L.
Published: September 2024

The Moscow Palace of Pioneers on the Vorobyovy Gory — an architectural monument of Soviet modernism, the most successful and recognizable building of the Thaw period — can be found in many Soviet and Russian films: “The Tale of Lost Time”, “Gimme the Book of Complaints”, “Moscow — Cassiopeia”, “The Way to the Concert”, “Afonya”, “Dangerous Age”, “Nina”, “Legend No. 17”, “Thaw”, “Lyudmila Gurchenko”, “The Optimists” and others. The article reviews filming locations of feature and documentary films, identifies the main locations of the director’s groups, parallels and comparisons of perspectives in cinema with contemporary reality. The reasons for the director’s choice of certain halls, auditoriums, and spaces are analyzed; changes in the role and functionality of the spaces are identified; and the connection with the plot is traced. It is shown how, thanks to the artistic language of cinema, the directors change the function of buildings and spaces: the seventh building becomes an airport, the winter garden becomes a billiard room, classrooms become editorial offices, the theatre hall becomes a meeting place for diplomats. Some films depict unique interiors of the Palace, panels and mosaics, while in other films the directors were interested in innovative objects and angles that were not clearly linked to the pioneer theme. Many of the reviewed films contain a pedagogical component: they teach to value time (The Tale of Lost Time), to dream (Moscow is My Love), to set high goals (Moscow — Cassiopeia), to keep one’s word (Thaw), to succeed (Legend No. 17, Lyudmila Gurchenko), to seek the right path in life (Afonya), to be a patriot (The Optimists). Documentary films about the Moscow Palace of Pioneers are a vivid example of successful organisation of the educational process. The article may be interesting and useful to researchers of the spheres of culture, cinema, art, history and education, residents and guests of the capital and everyone who is interested in the history of the Moscow Palace of Pioneers. The materials of the research are also of practical value and can be used by tour guides, teachers, methodologists and teachers.
Conflits armés et gouvernance des sites naturels du patrimoine mondial en Afrique (synthèse bibliographique)
Authors: Houehounha Dodé H.M. , Lhoest Simon , Hugé Jean , Vermeulen Cédric
Published: September 2024

Introduction. La Convention du patrimoine mondial est l’unique traité international qui promeut l’exceptionnalité universelle des sites. Depuis son adoption en 1972, les conflits armés ont conduit à l’inscription de huit aires protégées d’Afrique subsaharienne sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial en péril. En 2023, l’insécurité persiste dans six sites naturels africains et menace cinq autres sites de la région sur les quarante-deux que compte la Liste du patrimoine mondial. Les conséquences pour ces sites se traduisent par la prolifération d’activités illégales, des pertes en biodiversité et en vies humaines, un changement dans les systèmes de gouvernance ainsi que de nouvelles dynamiques communautaires. Cette situation est préoccupante et nous documentons l’état de conservation et les systèmes de gouvernance de ces aires protégées affectées par l’insécurité. Littérature. Une recherche a été réalisée en exploitant Google Scholar et Scopus (sur la période 2000-2023) et les rapports officiels (depuis l’inscription des sites jusqu’en 2024) soumis par les pays sur l’état de conservation des sites naturels africains du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO. Les thématiques scientifiques qui abordent les déterminants des conflits armés affectant les sites naturels africains du patrimoine mondial ainsi que les liens entre la qualité de la gouvernance des aires protégées et l’apparition et/ou la résolution des conflits armés ne sont en effet pas assez abordés dans la littérature scientifique. La compréhension de l’origine et des fondements de ces conflits armés implique une analyse approfondie de plusieurs déterminants liés à l’existence de ces aires protégées ainsi qu’une évaluation de l’efficacité des systèmes de gouvernance, qui est rarement disponible. Conclusions. Des lacunes persistent en termes de connaissances scientifiques sur les sites naturels du patrimoine mondial situés en zone de conflits armés en Afrique subsaharienne. Plusieurs enjeux au sujet de ces aires protégées situées en zone de conflits armés restent à explorer, et nous suggérons pour de futures recherches que les thématiques suivantes soient prioritairement abordées : (i) l’analyse des déterminants politico-religieux à l’origine des conflits armés contemporains qui affectent des aires protégées en Afrique et (ii) les facteurs qui limitent la résolution des conflits armés qui affectent les sites naturels du patrimoine mondial en Afrique.
THE WARRIOR’S PRE-SCYTHIAN BURIAL NEAR ZHELEZNOVODSK
Authors: Маслов В.Е. , Березин С.Я.
Published: September 2024

Публикуемое погребение из могильника Бородыновка-3 в Кавминводах в Ставропольском крае можно отнести к редкой группе предскифских кочевнических захоронений в зоне западнокобанской культуры. По особенностям погребального обряда и инвентарю его можно датировать в пределах VIII – начала VII в. до н. э. Модель культурных взаимоотношений между пришлыми скотоводами и кобанскими племенами в этот период принципиально отличается от взаимоотношений, которые прослеживаются в раннескифскую эпоху.

The burial from the Borodynovka-3 burial ground in the area of the Caucasian Spars in the Stavropol Region may be attributed to a rare group of pre-Scythian nomadic burials found in the West Koban culture area. Distinctive traits of the funerary rite and offerings help determine its dating within the range of the 8th – early 7th centuries BC. The model of cultural relationship between non-local herders and the Koban population groups in this period is fundamentally different from relationship traced back to the early Scythian period.

The Value of Modern Labor Law as a Branch of Law
Authors: Андриановская И.И.
Published: September 2024

В статье рассматривается вопрос о ценности трудового права как отрасли права, актуальность которого сохраняется на протяжении весьма длительного времени. Цель исследования: показать ценность трудового права с момента его происхождения до настоящего времени. Отмечается, что ценность отрасли связана с ее назначением, местом и ролью в реализации социально-экономических задач государства и общества. Подчеркивается особая роль трудового права в социально-экономическом развитии государства и права России. В его нормах воплощено двуединое назначение отрасли: социальное и экономическое. Обращено внимание на основную ценность трудового права как отрасли отечественного права, которая заключается в его способности урегулировать определенный законодателем круг отношений, складывающихся в сфере применения труда. Ценностную основу современного трудового права составляют нормы, позволяющие адекватно урегулировать трудовые отношения, согласовать действия субъектов, находящихся в сфере применения труда. Отмечается, что в правовую систему помимо права входят иные компоненты, влияющие на его ценность (правосудие, правотворчество, юридическая практика и другие). Выявлены признаки, позволяющие определить ценность правовой отрасли: во-первых, это качество норм правовой отрасли, во-вторых — правильность их применения (в строгом соответствии с их назначением). Выдвинута гипотеза о наличии в современной правовой действительности явных и скрытых причин, порождающих обесценивание трудового права.

The proposed article examines the issue of the value of labor law as a branch of law, the relevance of which has been maintained for a very long time. The purpose of the study is to show the value of labor law from the moment of its origin to the present. It is noted that the value of the industry is related to its purpose, place and role in the implementation of socio-economic tasks of the state and society. The special role of labor law in the socio-economic development of the state and the law of Russia is emphasized. Its norms embody the dual purpose of the industry: social and economic. Attention is drawn to the main value of labor law as a branch of domestic law, which lies in its ability to regulate the range of relations defined by the legislator that develop in the field of labor application. The value basis of modern labor law is made up of norms that allow for adequate regulation of labor relations, coordination of actions of subjects in the sphere.
Public Legal and Private Legal Means in Ensuring Environmental Restoration and Reproduction of Natural Resources
Authors: Осетрова А.Ю.
Published: September 2024

В статье анализируются правовые акты, направленные на обеспечение восстановления окружающей среды в Российской Федерации. Проблема восстановления экологических систем является актуальной, однако этому не уделяется должного внимания в отечественном праве. Автор делает вывод о том, что не сформированы важнейшие аспекты концептуального развития законодательства в части возобновления компонентов природной среды. Концепция правовой политики восстановления природных ресурсов должна содержать направления совершенствования договорных институтов в сфере природопользования, внедрения стимулирующих мер для природопользователей, осуществляющих восстановительные работы в природоохранной сфере и воспроизводство отдельных природных ресурсов.

In this work, the author analyzes legal acts aimed at ensuring environmental restoration in the Russian Federation. The problem of restoration of ecological systems is relevant, but this is not given attention in domestic law. It is concluded that the most important aspects of the conceptual development of legislation regarding the restoration of components of the natural environment have not been formed. The concept of environmental policy in terms of restoration of natural resources should contain directions for improving contractual institutions in the field of environmental management, introducing incentive measures for resource users carrying out restoration work in the environmental sector.

Authors: Свиридова Е.А.
Published: September 2024

В статье рассматриваются возможные пути совершенствования российского законодательства в области регламентирования использования дипфейк технологий на основе анализа законодательства США и КНР, регулирующего правоотношения в сфере дипфейк технологий. Целью исследования является анализ теоретических и практических аспектов защиты прав граждан и публичных интересов при создании и распространении дипфейков в информационно-телекоммуникационных сетях. Делается вывод о необходимости установления запрета определенных типов приложений по созданию дипфейков, в частности j недопустимости использования технологий дипфейк в политической рекламе, в том числе предвыборной агитации и агитации по вопросам референдума. Учитывая риски, связанные с умышленным использованием дипфейк технологий в противоправных целях, сформулировано предложение о введении отдельного состав уголовного преступления в сфере распространения дипфейков в киберпространстве.

The article discusses possible ways to improve Russian legislation in the field of regulating the use of deepfake technologies based on an analysis of the legislation of the USA and the People's Republic of China regulating legal relations in the field of deepfake technologies. The purpose of the study is to analyze the theoretical and practical aspects of protecting the rights of citizens and public interests in the creation and distribution of diplomatic posts in information and telecommunications networks. It is concluded that it is necessary to ban certain types of applications for creating deepfakes, in particular, the inadmissibility of using deepfake technologies in political advertising, including election campaigning and referendum campaigning. Taking into account the risks associated with the deliberate use of deepfake technologies for illegal purposes, a proposal has been formulated to introduce a separate criminal offense in the field of the distribution of deepfakes in cyberspace.
Адаптивные шаги по времени для агрегационно-фрагментационной кинетики
Authors: Matveev S.A. , Zhilin V.A. , Smirnov A.P.
Published: September 2024

We propose an experimental study of adaptive time-stepping methods for efficient modeling of the aggregation-fragmentation kinetics. Precise modeling of this phenomena usually requires utilization of the large systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and intensive computations. We study the performance of three explicit Runge–Kutta time-integration methods and provide simulations for two types of problems: finding of equilibrium solutions and simulations for kinetics with periodic solutions. The first class of problems may be analyzed through the relaxation of the solution to the stationary state at large time. In this case, the adaptive time-stepping may help to reach this state using big steps reducing cost of the calculations without loss of accuracy. In the second case, the problem becomes numerically unstable at certain points of the phase space and may require tiny steps making the simulations very time-consuming. Adaptive criteria allows to increase the steps for most of the remaining point and speedup simulations significantly.

Мы предлагаем экспериментальное исследование методов интегрирования по времени с адаптивными шагами по времени для эффективного моделирования кинетики агрегации-фрагментации. Точное моделирование этого явления обычно требует использования больших систем нелинейных обыкновенных дифференциальных уравнений и интенсивных вычислений. Мы исследуем производительность трех явных методов Рунге–Кутты и проводим моделирование для двух типов задач: нахождение равновесных решений и моделирование для кинетики с периодическими решениями. Первый класс задач может быть проанализирован посредством релаксации решения к стационарному состоянию на больших временах. В этом случае адаптивные временные шаги могут помочь достичь этого состояния с использованием больших шагов, снижая стоимость вычислений без потери точности. Во втором случае задача оказывается численно неустойчивой в определенных точках фазового пространства и может потребовать крошечных шагов, что делает моделирование с постоянными шагами очень трудоемким. Адаптивные критерии позволяют увеличить шаги для большинства оставшихся точек и значительно ускорить моделирование.

Genetic Algorithms are a powerful method to solve optimization problems with complex cost functions over vast search spaces that rely in particular on recombining parts of previous solutions. Crossover operators play a crucial role in this context. Here, we describe a large class of these operators designed for searching over spaces of graphs. These operators are based on introducing small cuts into graphs and rejoining the resulting induced subgraphs of two parents. This form of cut-and-join crossover can be restricted in a consistent way to preserve local properties such as vertex-degrees (valency), or bond-orders, as well as global properties such as graph-theoretic planarity. In contrast to crossover on strings, cut-and-join crossover on graphs is powerful enough to ergodically explore chemical space even in the absence of mutation operators. Extensive benchmarking shows that the offspring of molecular graphs are again plausible molecules with high probability, while at the same time crossover drastically increases the diversity compared to initial molecule libraries. Moreover, desirable properties such as favorable indices of synthesizability are preserved with sufficient frequency that candidate offsprings can be filtered efficiently for such properties. As an application we utilized the cut-and-join crossover in REvoLd, a GA-based system for computer-aided drug design. In optimization runs searching for ligands binding to four different target proteins we consistently found candidate molecules with binding constants exceeding the best known binders as well as candidates found in make-on-demand libraries. Taken together, cut-and-join crossover operators constitute a mathematically simple and well-characterized approach to recombination of molecules that performed very well in real-life CADD tasks.

PeT-based fluorescent probes were demonstrated to be powerful tools for detection and imaging, owing to their significant fluorescence enhancement in response to specific targets. While numerous examples of fluorescence-based PeT have been frequently reported, there is not even a single example of a PeT probe that operates via a chemiluminescence mode. Here we report the first PeT-based turn-on probe that acts via a chemiluminescent operation mode. We designed, synthesized, and evaluated a novel chemiluminescent probe, featuring a PeT-based turn-on mechanism. The probe consists of a phenoxy-1,2-dioxetane, linked to an azide unit that acts as a PeT quencher. Upon cycloaddition of a strained cycloalkyne with the azide, a triazole-dioxetane is formed, which undergoes relatively slow chemiexcitation, resulting in a measurement window with an exceptionally high signal-to-noise ratio (over 5000-fold). The PeT-dioxetane probe could effectively detect and image two model proteins labeled with strained cycloalkyne units (Myc-DBCO and Max-DBCO) through either NHS or maleimide conjugations. Comparative analysis shows that our PeT-based chemiluminescent probe significantly outperforms a commercially available fluorescent analog. We anticipate that the insights gained from this study will facilitate the development of additional chemiluminescent probes utilizing various PeT-quenching pathways.

Neste artigo, objetivamos identificar as contribuições do Avaliabarra como política de avaliação externa na perspectiva dos professores que ensinam matemática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental da rede municipal de Educação de Barra do Bugres/MT. Metodologicamente, utilizamos a pesquisa qualitativa para descrever, analisar e interpretar as respostas de 48 professores participantes do Avaliabarra que responderam a um questionário do Google Forms. Para analisar os dados, recorremos à Análise de Conteúdo na perspectiva de Bardin (1977) e Rodrigues (2019), a qual nos proporcionou a definição de seis Unidades de Registro, que, articuladas entre si, para constituir a Categoria de Análise: Contribuições do Avaliabarra como Política de Avaliação Externa, pela qual realizamos nossa interpretação por meio de um movimento dialógico – interlocução dos dados com os conceitos balizados pelos aportes teóricos da pesquisa. Como resultados, inferimos que o Avaliabarra contribuiu para que os professores pudessem ter um diagnóstico sistemático das aprendizagens consolidadas e das defasagens dos alunos em cada bimestre do ano de 2022, proporcionando assim uma reorganização constante nos planejamentos dos professores para abordar e superar as lacunas de aprendizagem identificadas. Além disso, as análises explicitadas por meio das “vozes” de professores que ensinam Matemática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental evidenciaram que o Avaliabarra, contribuiu com a prática pedagógica, com orientações por meio de devolutivas pedagógicas e formações continuadas focadas na recuperação das habilidades não alcançadas, para que as intervenções em sala de aula proporcionassem uma melhoria dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem dos alunos.

Objective: This study investigates the relationships between strategic flexibility, strategic innovation, job satisfaction, and employee performance in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) within East Java’s clothing industry. The research specifically aims to examine the mediating role of job satisfaction in these relationships.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study is grounded in organizational behavior and strategic management theories, proposing that strategic flexibility and innovation positively influence job satisfaction, which in turn enhances employee performance. Job satisfaction is posited as a mediator that impacts the effect of strategic flexibility and innovation on employee outcomes.
 
Method: The research employs an explanatory design with Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis to test hypotheses and establish causal relationships. Data were collected from 160 employees in East Java’s clothing sector through stratified random sampling. A Likert scale-based questionnaire was utilized to measure variables, and SmartPLS 3.0 was used for data analysis.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that strategic flexibility significantly enhances both job satisfaction and employee performance. Strategic innovation impacts employee performance indirectly by improving job satisfaction. The mediation analysis reveals that job satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between strategic innovation and employee performance, and partially mediates the effect of strategic flexibility on performance.
 
Research Implications: The study underscores the effectiveness of PLS analysis in exploring these relationships and offers insights into how SME managers in East Java can improve employee outcomes by focusing on strategic flexibility, innovation, and job satisfaction.
 
Originality/Value: This research contributes to the literature by highlighting the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationship between strategic management practices and employee performance. The findings provide practical recommendations for SME managers to enhance performance by prioritizing employee satisfaction and adaptability.
