Authors: Chapman-Wardy Charlotte , Ocran Eric , Iddi Samuel , Asiedu Louis
Published: December 2023

Solid waste management has become a challenge for developing countries mainly because of surging economic activities, rapid urbanisation and rise in community living standards. Many researchers have identified its related problems and have recommended solutions while others have established models to forecast the amount of solid waste generated over a period. However, an efficient and effective management of solid waste requires adequate categorisation of solid waste generation areas to aid in the provision of area-specific or targeted solutions for each categorised area. In this study, we used primary data on some important socio-demographic variables (household size, house type, predominant religion of household, age and educational level of household head, residency type household waste disposal method, frequency of waste collection etc) and the amount of solid waste generated from 2102 households in Greater Accra Region, Ghana. We assessed the classification performances of a traditional statistical classifiers and some selected machine learning algorithms in classifying the surveyed areas in Greater Accra into low, medium, and high solid waste generation areas. The Support Vector Machine with the Cubic Kernel was found to be the best performing classifier with a Specificity of 86%, Sensitivity, Precision and Accuracy of 73% and Area under the curve (AUC) of 0.90. The Support Vector Machine with the Cubic Kernel is therefore recommended as a suitable algorithm for the categorisation of solid waste generation areas. Stakeholders responsible for solid waste management could leverage on the evidence from this study to categorise their waste generation areas and to proffer targeted community-based interventions.

Published: December 2023

Social platform have disseminated the news in rapid speed and has been considered an important news resource for many people over worldwide because of easy access and less cost benefits when compared with the traditional news organizations. Fake news is the news deliberately written by bad writers that manipulates the original contents and this rapid dissemination of fake news may mislead the people in the society. As a result, it is critical to investigate the veracity of the data leaked via social media platforms. Even so, the reliability of information reported via this platform is still doubtful and remains a significant obstacle. As a result, this study proposes a promising technique for identifying fake information in social media called Adam Adadelta Optimization based Deep Long Short-Term Memory (Deep LSTM). The tokenization operation in this case is carried out with the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) approach. The measurement of the features is reduced with the assistance of Kernel Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and the top-N attributes are chosen by employing Renyi joint entropy. Furthermore, the LSTM is applied to identify false information in social media, with Adam Adadelta Optimization, which comprises a combo of Adam Optimization and Adadelta Optimization . The Deep LSTM based on Adam Adadelta Optimization achieved maximum accuracy, sensitivity, specificity of 0.936, 0.942, and 0.925.

Authors: Macchitella Luigi , Amendola Simone , Barraco Giulia , Scoditti Sara , Gallo Ivana , Oliva Maria Carmela , Trabacca Antonio
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Virtual reality (VR) interventions have been increasingly used in the rehabilitation of a wide range of neurological and neuropsychological dysfunctions. Findings of previous reviews showed positive and promising effects of VR-based interventions. However, they summarized findings on VR-based intervention carried out through different VR systems and tasks. OBJECTIVE: We carried out a narrative review with the aim of qualitatively synthesising the results of previous studies that used specific VR systems, i.e. the Khymeia –Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System, for treatment purposes. METHODS: We searched the literature in various databases (i.e. EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS, PubMed and PubMed Central) for studies published until November 23, 2023. RESULTS: 30 studies were selected. The VRRS was used for neuromotor rehabilitation only in 13 studies, for cognitive rehabilitation in 11 studies, and for both neuromotor and cognitive rehabilitation in six studies. The study design was heterogeneous including 15 randomised controlled trials. CONCLUSION: After discussing each study according to the type of rehabilitation we concluded that the use and efficacy of VRRS rehabilitative intervention for increasing the neurological and neuropsychological functioning of patients are promising but more evidence is needed to make a comparison with conventional treatment. Future studies should also include long-term follow-up as well as cost-effectiveness analysis.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Computerized neuropsychological tests provide advantages to clinicians with cost, administration, and time. However, studies have pointed out performance differences between manual and computerized versions of some neuropsychological tests. One of these is the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Due to the performance difference, the normative data of manual tests cannot be used for their computerized versions. Therefore, normative data searches are needed for computerized versions. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the norm values of WCST-CV in a healthy sample. METHODS: 422 healthy adults aged 18–78 participated in this study. WCST-CVsub-scores are modeled by Regression Analysis based on Age and Education level to generate normative data. Among the 13 WCST scores, the regression models for WCST 2, WCST 3, WCST 4, WCST 10, and WCST 11 are significant. WCST 2, WCST 4, and WCST 11 scores are estimated with Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). However, WCST 3 and WCST 10 scores are estimated with Weighted Least Squares (WLS) due to the violation of the homoscedasticity assumption. RESULTS: The regression results show that p-values calculated from error increase as age and education level increase. CONCLUSION: As a result of our research, norm values between 18–78 years of age were produced using RA. It was determined that gender was not significant for any sub-score. Therefore, only age and education level from socio-demographic variables were included in the model.

Published: December 2023

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to determine if the use of continuous temperature monitoring smart socks is feasible in adolescents with spina bifida (SB) by obtaining user feedback on comfort. METHODS: Participants were provided temperature monitoring socks and a 4 G hub. Follow-up phone calls were performed to answer questions or discuss barriers. Sock temperatures were monitored throughout four weeks. Following sock wear, participants were asked to complete a satisfaction survey. RESULTS: Seventeen of the 33 participants enrolled (eight males, nine females) with a mean age of 14.8 years completed the study. Average sock wear was 8.0 hours per day for four weeks. The mean temperature was 83.4°F with a mean temperature differential between feet of –0.74°F (left–right). The duration of sock wear varied from 14.6 to 595.9 hours over the four-week period. Lastly, eleven participants (84.6%) reported that the socks were comfortable and very easy to put on. CONCLUSION: Continuous temperature monitoring smart socks are an option for monitoring risk for developing pressure injuries in adolescents with SB. Future directions would include increasing sample size, obtaining normative data for temperature ranges in this population, and correlating to clinical outcomes.
Electrodermal activity: A continuous monitor of well-being

Published: December 2023

A smart society should not only support the efficiency and effectiveness of processes, they should also have the ability to comprehend and support its inhabitants well-being. To enable this, we need continuous information on individual’s well-being. As a first step, we suggest to evaluate people’s long term stress level, as it sheds light on their well-being. We propose using the biosignal Electrodermal Activity (EDA), a proven measure of people’s arousal or stress. Moreover, EDA can be measured continuously, in real-time, and unobtrusively via wearables. To assess this idea’s feasibility, the CASE, CEAP-360VR, and K-EmoCon datasets, including both continuous EDA recordings and continuous subjective self-reported arousal, were analyzed. With CASE and CEAP-360VR, a multilevel analysis unveiled that the frequency and amplitude of EDA’s non-specific skin conductance responses significantly correlated with the self-reported arousal. With K-EmoCon, this correlation was absent, which can be explained by the low arousal condition of this dataset. The latter also signals a main limitation: the lack of sensitivity of the proposed signal. Nevertheless, the results are promising as they show potential for EDA as a continuous stress monitor. Therefore, we are optimistic that a future smart society can be enabled to monitor and improve their inhabitant’s well-being.

Published: December 2023

Thanks to the advent of robotics in shopfloor and warehouse environments, control rooms need to seamlessly exchange information regarding the dynamically changing 3D environment to facilitate tasks and path planning for the robots. Adding to the complexity, this type of environment is heterogeneous as it includes both free space and various types of rigid bodies (equipment, materials, humans etc.). At the same time, 3D environment-related information is also required by the virtual applications (e.g., VR techniques) for the behavioral study of CAD-based product models or simulation of CNC operations. In past research, information models for such heterogeneous 3D environments are often built without ensuring connection among different levels of abstractions required for different applications. For addressing such multiple points of view and modelling requirements for 3D objects and environments, this paper proposes an ontology model that integrates the contextual, topologic, and geometric information of both the rigid bodies and the free space. The ontology provides an evolvable knowledge model that can support simulated task-related information in general. This ontology aims to greatly improve interoperability as a path planning system (e.g., robot) and will be able to deal with different applications by simply updating the contextual semantics related to some targeted application while keeping the geometric and topological models intact by leveraging the semantic link among the models.

Workaholism, work engagement, and burnout among academics in Montenegro: A psychometric network approach
Authors: Osmanovic Sabina , Pajic Sofija , Petrovic Ivana B. , Portoghese Igor
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: The academic environment is known for its high demands in research, teaching, and administration, that along with increasing publish or perish culture can lead to reduced psychological well-being and mental health issues. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the associations between workaholism, work engagement, and burnout among academics in Montenegro. METHODS: A cross-sectional design was used to develop anonymous online survey. Data was collected from 131 participants employed as teaching and research staff at public and private universities. To measure the variables of interest we used: ultra-short Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-3), the work-related burnout subscale from the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI-7) and the Dutch Work Addiction Scale (DUWAS-10). Psychometric network analysis was employed to examine the relationships among variables. RESULTS: The findings revealed two distinct clusters: the first containing the dimensions of work engagement and the second containing burnout and the dimensions of workaholism. The two clusters were connected with the dimensions of dedication - burnout having the strongest edge (–0.25 and –0.40). In the cross-sample network the strongest connection was burnout –working excessively (.35). No significant differences in network density (0.80 (12/15 edges)) and global strength (p = 0.159) in the networks of public and private universities were found. CONCLUSION: Results of the network centrality and the edge strength analyses suggest that the interventions focused at increasing dedication while not fostering a work environment that encourages working excessively might be the key to preventing and reducing burnout in academia across contexts of public and private universities.
THE INFLUENCE OF CHINA AND JAPAN ON EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURE AND ART AT THE END OF THE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURIES
Authors: Slieptsov Oleh , Dyomin Mykola , Kozakova Olena
Published: December 2023

Europe turned to Eastern cultures at the stage of oversaturation with its own traditions or at the stage of finding ways out of the crisis in the cultural and artistic life of society. Obviously, the fascination with Chinese cultural traditions - first at the mundane level, and later at the level of art and architecture - during the Baroque and Rococo period testified to the oversaturation that gradually grew in the Baroque and Rococo styles, and therefore the appeal to China became a hidden attempt to find something fundamentally new, non-standard. It is quite clear that without a deep understanding of the foundations of ancient Chinese culture, such citation of Chinese motifs in art and in the architecture of country palaces and park pavilions turned them into simplified theatrical scenery.

In the same way, the same fascination with Japanese culture in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries took place against the background of increasing crisis phenomena in society, when the processes of secularization intensified against the background of the industrial revolutions and the rise to the forefront of the bourgeois class, and that is why Japanese culture with its philosophy of Taoism and Buddhism, which penetrated into all spheres of social life, into art and architecture, was perceived as a desirable way out of stagnation. At the same time, once again, external forms were copied, which were transformed on local soil without a deep understanding of the philosophical and religious background.

It should be noted the impact on European culture of the opening in 1897 of the unique temple complex of Dunhuang. As a result of the unstable situation in China during the reign of the Qing Dynasty, many unique artifacts from the Dunhuang sanctuaries were bought for nothing by Europeans and ended up in museums in Europe. This caused another stage of interest in Chinese culture and architecture. The use of aesthetic properties of traditional Chinese and Japanese culture made it possible to enrich the figurative concept of European Art Nouveau. The painting techniques of Art Nouveau period originate from the characteristic painting techniques of China and Japan. However, there is a difference in the influence of Eastern cultures on the art and architecture of Art Nouveau period: if in art such analogies can be traced quite clearly, in architecture at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, this influence was a much more complex phenomenon than the "Chinoiserie" style of the 18th century: Art Nouveau architects did not literally reproduce Chinese and Japanese buildings, but instead creatively rethought the principles of their formation, layout, function and decoration.
BIONIC PRINCIPLES OF ARCHITECTURAL AND PLANNING ORGANIZATION OF URBAN UNDERGROUND SPACES

Published: December 2023

The article analyzes bionic principles that are appropriate for use in the formation of an architectural environment, and takes into account the specifics of designing underground spaces using optimal connections and regularities used in nature. Was formulated the means of applying bionics and biomorphic structures in the formation of interiors and the similarity of residential buildings in the animal world in the development of functional connections of underground spaces. The safety of life activities when developing underground spaces as housing studied for the discomfort of being in a closed environment. The locality of using underground layers under buildings and structures does not solve the problem of complex underground communication and solving the problems of critical environmental. In the course of studying the principles of formation of a harmonious safe environment by representatives of flora and fauna, bionic principles of architectural and planning organization of urban underground spaces divided into two groups: technical and aesthetic. 

Technical principles that ensure the optimal functioning of the structure of the underground object: the principle of compactness; effective use of the landscape consists, creation of an artificial landscape; use of external energy sources; the principle of modularity, mobility, transformation, universality. 

Aesthetic principles of shaping the underground space, its configuration and decoration: the principle of proportioning, aesthetic integrity of the underground space, compensation for the absence of flora; principles of formation of natural color architectural space; integral principles of object fractality. 

The principle of potential development is aimed at identifying possible prospects for development, it includes a program for further modeling of the form, creation of an ultra-modern space, interactive, virtual, adaptive.
SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE – CONTRADICTIONS AND CONFLICTS
Authors: Danilov Sergey , Chechelnytskyi Sergey
Published: December 2023

The problems of sustainable architecture are considered through the prism of creating architectural buildings and urban environments that provide environmental, economic and socio-cultural sustainability. In order to understand the complexity and nature of the permanence of architecture, it should be considered as a fragment of the overall open dynamic system of the city. At the same time, all components of such a system are interconnected by the general dynamics of functioning and often develop in conditions of internal systemic contradictions. The intra-system contradictions of the city as an open dynamic system should be understood as a situation where the attempts of any element of the system to achieve the conditions of optimal functioning are limited or suppressed by other elements of the system. Architecture, as an artificial environment in which these systemic contradictions arise, is forced to respond flexibly to them. The purpose of this work is to identify the systemic contradictions that arise in the process of functioning of the architectural component of the city as an open dynamic system, and to generalize these contradictions. 

In the development of any system, stability and instability, adaptation and maladaptation are equally necessary. An absolutely unstable system is devoid of the ability to adapt and quickly collapses, while an ultra-stable system, suppressing any fluctuations, retains its structure and behavior, is not able to change qualitatively, that is, it is deprived of the possibility of development, and its destruction becomes only a matter of time. Both types of systems descend into chaos, the difference between them being the time it takes for entropy to explode. 

The change in the evolutionary and revolutionary stages of the development of systems, their stability and instability forms dynamic cycles in time. Each system has not only cyclical processes due to its nature, but also cycles dictated by the environment. Moreover, the "external" cycles are more stable and stable, while the cycles of internal origin can change under their influence as a result of synchronization - the properties of systems of a diverse nature to produce a single rhythm of coexistence, despite the sometimes extremely weak interconnection.
GENESIS OF THE VISUAL CONCEPT OF CAVES INTERIORS OF THE DUNHUANG TEMPLE COMPLEX (4TH – 14TH CENTURIES)
Authors: Wang Shiru , Ivashko Yulia
Published: December 2023

The cave temple complex of Dunhuang is a unique example of a large-scale synthesis of arts in the interiors of sanctuaries of the 4th – 114th centuries. The article systematizes the scientific source base, the materials of the graduate student's own field studies, and on their basis, the periodization of wall paintings and sculptures is analyzed and the peculiarities of the genesis of the figurative concept, methods of artistic expression, common plots, etc. are determined.

The innovation of the presented research consists in summing up the evidence base for known theses. This is traced by various defining features, which are specific plots in different periods, compositional structure, polychromy, methods of detailing. Using the example of the wall painting with Buddha, the well-known chronology of the three stages of the development of the wall painting is visually argued and detailed:

– 1st stage – period of development (Northern Liang Dynasty (401-439), Northern Wei Dynasty (439-534), Western Wei Dynasty (535-556), Northern Zhou Dynasty (557-581));

– 2nd stage – the period from prosperity to decline (Sui dynasty (581-618), Tang dynasty (618-907), Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (907-960), the Northern Song dynasty (960–1127);

– 3rd stage – period of borrowings (Xi Xia dynasty (1038-1227), Yuan dynasty (1271-1368).

A comparison of the stages of the development of frescoes and sculptures and the periods of the appearance, flourishing and decline of various genres of wall painting (religious Buddhist, portrait, landscape) showed that despite the fact that the political and economic situation, the cultural and artistic preferences and religious commitment of the rulers equally influenced the activation of the development or the decline of art, the stages of development of mural painting and sculpture do not always coincide. In the same way, the period of the appearance and spread of various subjects was analyzed and it was proved that the canonical Buddhist images also underwent significant changes, giving rise to new and new compositions (for example, the appearance in the Tang era of the composition "Buddha in Nirvana" with a giant figure of the Buddha, or the spread of sculptures of a multi-armed Guanyin in the Yuan era).
Initial Assessment of Trauma Patients
Authors: Dogjani Agron , Haxhirexha Kastriot , Gjata Arben , Subashi Kastriot
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The initial assessment of trauma patients is a critical and time-sensitive phase in the realm of emergency medicine. This presentation outlines the fundamental components and principles of conducting an effective initial assessment, which is essential for promptly identifying life-threatening injuries and ensuring timely interventions for patient stabilization.

The primary objective of the initial assessment is to swiftly detect and address imminent life-threatening conditions. This process adheres to a structured approach, often following established protocols such as Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS).

Commencing with the evaluation of the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs), healthcare providers prioritize the maintenance of a patent airway, adequate respiration, and a stable circulatory system. Any life-threatening issues identified during this phase demand immediate intervention.

Simultaneously, healthcare providers perform a concise yet comprehensive patient history and physical examination, gathering information about the injury's mechanism, the patient's medical background, and any pertinent details. This collected data serves as the foundation for subsequent assessments and treatment plans.

The secondary survey, a more detailed and systematic examination, follows the initial assessment. This phase involves a thorough head-to-toe evaluation aimed at detecting injuries that may have been initially overlooked. Diagnostic procedures, including imaging studies and laboratory tests, may be initiated during this phase to further assess and diagnose injuries.

The initial assessment places specific emphasis on identifying and managing conditions with rapid and potentially lethal deterioration, such as tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, and massive hemorrhage.

Throughout the assessment process, effective communication among the trauma team members is paramount to ensure a coordinated and efficient response. This includes making triage decisions and facilitating swift patient transport to the most appropriate care facility, all of which contribute to optimal trauma patient management.

In conclusion, the initial assessment in trauma patients is a dynamic and systematic process designed to swiftly identify and address life-threatening injuries. By recognizing these injuries promptly, initiating timely interventions, and gathering critical patient information, healthcare providers and emergency responders play a vital role in ensuring the best possible outcomes for trauma patients. Training in these procedures is essential to equip healthcare teams with the skills and knowledge needed for successful trauma patient management.
ДИСТАНЦІЙНЕ НАВЧАННЯ В УМОВАХ ВІЙНИ: ВИКЛИКИ ТА МОЖЛИВОСТІ ДЛЯ СИСТЕМИ ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ УКРАЇНИ

Published: December 2023

Незважаючи на збройну агресію російської федерації проти України, педагоги, викладачі й науково-педагогічні працівники незмінно та вчасно організовують освітній процес. Це нелегке завдання, оскільки всі вони зіштовхуються з багатьма викликами, що відрізняють навчання під час воєнного стану від навчання, яке було під час карантину, спричиненого пандемією COVID-19. Метою статті є дослідження системи дистанційного навчання в Україні в умовах війни, визначення основних переваг і недоліків такої форми освіти. Проаналізовано основні можливості для розвитку дистанційного навчання у вищій освіті України. Визначено основні складові дистанційного навчання у військових закладах вищої освіти. Проаналізовано ключові моменти такої форми навчання, зокрема типи програмного забезпечення, методи навчання (метод попереджувального навчання). Наведено основні вимоги для створення освітньо-інформаційного середовища в закладах вищої військової освіти, зокрема: системність застосування інформаційних технологій, доступність і відкритість, поліфункціональність індивідуалізація, модульність й адаптивність. Визначено й охарактеризовано основні можливості подальшого розвитку дистанційної освіти відповідного напряму, зокрема використання мобільних рішень на корпоративному рівні, побудова хмарної інфраструктури, використання віртуальних середовищ викладачами, використання соціально-освітніх мереж. Визначено основні недоліки дистанційного навчання у військових закладах вищої освіти, а саме: недостатня самоорганізація здобувачів освіти, відсутність безперебійного доступу до мережі “Інтернет”, надійної техніки, відсутність необхідних навичок роботи з технікою і програмним забезпеченням. Загалом дистанційне навчання є необхідною складовою системи вищої військової освіти України, яка сприяє підготовці сучасних військових фахівців, здатних ефективно діяти в умовах воєнних конфліктів і забезпечити національну безпеку країни.

У статті досліджено проблеми впровадження дистанційної та змішаної форми навчання предмета “Захист України” в ліцеях з посиленою військово-фізичною підготовкою в умовах воєнного стану. Обґрунтовано та уточнено термінологію дистанційного та змішаного навчання, яке набуває значного поширення в закладах загальної середньої освіти. Також автори вивчають шляхи вирішення проблеми підвищення кваліфікації вчителів предмета “Захист України” у складних умовах російсько-української війни. В умовах воєнного стану дистанційна та змішана форми навчання видаються засобом, який можуть використовувати вчителі предмета “Захист України” на всіх навчальних курсах та етапах навчання. На основі результатів аналізу наукових досліджень пропонуються моделі змішаного навчання, методичні прийоми застосування інноваційних технологій навчання та оцінювання ліцеїстів у разі змішаної форми навчання. Загальною проблемою для ліцеїстів виявилася організація самонавчання вдома і недостатній доступ до Інтернету, особливо в сільській місцевості. З’ясовано, що цифрові технології навчання в ліцеї необхідно постійно вдосконалювати. Поширення дистанційного навчання в умовах воєнного стану призвело до виникнення нового напряму – змішаного навчання – форми освіти, згідно з якою ліцеїст засвоює одну частину матеріалу засобами дистанційного навчання, а іншу частину (уміння та навички) формує очно в аудиторії. Під час змішаного навчання здобувачі освіти засвоюють теоретичний матеріал самостійно, використовуючи інформацію з електронних підручників та інших джерел, а на аудиторних заняттях – через реалізацію різноманітних дидактичних методів, розв’язання завдань відпрацьовують і формують відповідні вміння, навички та інші компетентності. Визначено, що значна кількість учителів зіткнулися з труднощами при дистанційному та змішаному навчанні, насамперед ті, хто недостатньо підготовлений у теоретичному і практичному відношенні. Встановлено, що традиційна система перепідготовки та підвищення кваліфікації у закладах вищої освіти України недостатньо готова для вирішення вищезазначених проблем. Задля цього необхідно на рівні ліцею сформувати конкретний план впровадження дистанційного та змішаного навчання, а також продумати організаційні заходи. Така рекомендація містить раціональний підхід до підвищення кваліфікації учителів за місцем роботи, без відриву від виконання посадових обов’язків та охоплює всіх учителів.
МЕДІАОСВІТА ЯК СКЛАДОВА ОСВІТНЬОГО ПРОЦЕСУ
Authors: КУПЧИШИНА Валентина , ГРУБІ Тетяна
Published: December 2023

Статтю присвячено теоретичному аналізу медіаосвіти як складової освітнього процесу, адже характерною ознакою ХХІ століття є впровадження інформаційних технологій в усі сфери життєдіяльності людини. Зміст цих змін пов’язаний з новими компетенціями особистості, які проявляються в оволодінні сучасними інформаційними системами, пошуковими інструментами, новітніми каналами пошуку та обробки інформації тощо. Доведено, що представники наукової спільноти по-різному визначають зміст терміна “медіаосвіта”. У наукових працях більшості західних вчених під медіаосвітою розуміють навчання особистості критично-рефлексивному застосуванню ЗМІ, українські ж представники наукової спільноти в зміст поняття включають частину освітнього процесу, який має на меті формування медіакомпетентності, медіаграмотності та медіакультури особистості через безпечну та ефективну взаємодію із сучасними масмедіа. Підкреслено, що медіаосвіта виступає частиною освітнього процесу, який спрямований на формування в суспільстві її компонентів (медіакультури, медіаграмотності, медіакомпетентності тощо). Кожен з компонентів медіаосвіти заслуговує на детальний аналіз і вивчення, адже усі вони суттєво впливають на життя особистості загалом і можуть виступати складовими освітнього процесу. Різнобічними є також наукові підходи дослідників щодо сутності понять “медіакомпетентність”, “медіаграмотність” та “медіакультура” як складових медіаосвіти, про що засвідчив огляд наукової джерельної бази. Окреслено місце та значення медіаосвіти в підготовці фахівців для прикордонного відомства. Завданнями медіаосвіти є підготовка майбутнього офіцера-прикордонника до безпечної й ефективної комунікації з різноманітними її засобами (мова йде про вміле використання як традиційних, так і новітніх медіа, з урахуванням нових технологій, що мають відношення до інформаційно-комунікативних процесів).

The interaction of populations of two biological species in an isolated predator-prey ecosystem has been studied. Mathematical models of the interaction of these biological species are considered. The mathematical model is presented in the form of a system of differential equations. For the research, a program was created in the Mathcad environment. With the help of this program, graphical and numerical solutions of mathematical models were obtained. The dynamics of changes in the parameters of two populations has been studied. Experimental results concerning populations of two predator-prey biological species were considered and investigated. The statistical data of the hunting of the hare and lynx of the Canadian fur company are analyzed. The results of experiments on the study of argali and wolf populations in the Kokentau Nature Reserve of the East Kazakhstan region are presented. The correspondence of the theoretical results of graphical data and mathematical models of populations characterizing the interaction of animals in the argali-wolf ecosystem is proved.

Introduction of biotechnological methods of reproduction in potato seed production has significantly increased the quality of seed material and rate of introduction of healthy and new high-yield varieties in production. The most important factors determining the success of micropropagation and the rate of multiplication of seed starting volume include nutritional factors (composition of nutrient media), hormonal factors (ratio of phytohormonal drugs in the nutrient solution) and physical cultivation factors (temperature and illumination). Many researchers have pointed out the importance of these parameters, but their recommended parameters vary considerably. This paper presents the results of studies on the effect of temperature factor on the development of cultivated potato plants. Regenerated potato plants of Rodrigo,Lyubava, Golubizna, Tuleevsky, Grand, Gulliver, Impala, Fritella, Innovator varieties were the objects of the study. During the studies established that at a phytotron temperature of 26±2°C, the development parameters of all varieties studied were higher than in the variant with a phytotron temperature of 22±2°C. The increase in height was between 36% and 190%, the number of internodes grew by 53-146%, and root formation by 12-42%, depending on the variety. Thus, this temperature regime contributes to more intensive organogenesis, and therefore contributes to the increase of potato multiplication coefficient in in vitro culture.

Lactose intolerance is one of the most common eating disorders. People affected by this disorder cannot digest large amounts of lactose due to the genetically low expression of the lactase enzyme. The human gut microbiota consists of the majority of diverse microbial communities that affect intestinal health, immunological balance and also metabolize lactose. One of the methods to combat this disorder is the use of probiotics. Probiotic microorganisms are contained in large quantities in live fermented milk products, which are used as functional food products all over the world because of their beneficial effects on human health. In addition, there are low lactose/lactose free fermented milk products on the world market, which, in addition to having a positive effect on the human body, contribute to the breakdown and reduction of the amount of lactose, thereby helping to tolerate lactose more easily. This review focuses on important developments that can neutralize the adverse effect of lactase on human health when consuming dairy products.

Information Retrieval from Files and data bases like data sources is a major issue now days. After Information Retrieval clustering is also a one of the important things. In the market so many clustering algorithms were available. But choosing of the clustering algorithm depends on the user requirements. This paper addresses the study of agglomerative approach for different constraints or metrics or user preferences like Number of levels in the clustering process, number of clusters that should be generated at each level and range of the attributes at each level for doing the clustering for the given data set. In brief overview we discuss the agglomerative approach for clustering algorithm with their user preferences.

The Vietnamese community in Australia has faced numerous challenges during its integration into Australian society. Starting with language barriers and cultural differences, the community has had to navigate a complex set of social, economic, and political factors to establish its position in the country. Despite these obstacles, they have maintained their cultural identity while embracing the Australian way of life. One of the most significant contributions of the Vietnamese community to Australian society has been their ability to bring about fresh perspectives and opportunities for cultural exchange. The younger generations of Vietnamese Australians, in particular, have been instrumental in highlighting the values of inclusivity and multiculturalism. They have been at the forefront of promoting cultural diversity and understanding and acceptance of different communities. Our research aims to systematically document the adaptation and integration of the Vietnamese community in Australia across different periods. We employ qualitative methods to analyse the various factors that have contributed to the success of the Vietnamese community in Australia. By doing so, we hope to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by the Vietnamese community during their integration into Australian society.

La calidad de servicio interno se ha evaluado comúnmente en el campo de los clientes externos y sobre todo en industrias de servicio. La necesidad de entender a los clientes internos ha generado que las organizaciones fortalezcan la calidad de servicio interno de manera que tenga influencia en su satisfacción laboral. El propósito es analizar la incidencia que tiene la calidad del servicio interno en la satisfacción laboral del empleado en un proceso de manufactura. El estudio se llevó a cabo en una muestra homogénea de siete empresas de manufactura de la ciudad de Cuenca, Ecuador; por lo tanto, este estudio está relacionado a un contexto específico. Se utilizó una escala de tipo Likert de siete puntos; una adaptación del modelo SERVQUAL en todas sus dimensiones, y una encuesta de satisfacción laboral con una muestra de 364 encuestados. El análisis de los datos se realizó mediante el programa SPSS versión 26 (demo). Los resultados demuestran una correlación positiva y un grado de asociación moderada entre la calidad de servicio interno y la satisfacción laboral. Adicionalmente, el coeficiente de regresión R2 demostró la validezde que la calidad de servicio interno tiene un impacto positivo en la satisfacción laboral.

Published: December 2023

El propósito del presente artículo es caracterizar las prácticas de participación ciudadana que se han venido desarrollando en Costa Rica. Se muestran los resultados de dos investigaciones cuyos objetivos son identificar las prácticas de participación ciudadana en el marco del modelo de gobierno abierto en el gobierno central, y sobre cómo se estructura el vínculo con la ciudadanía desde las municipalidades, respectivamente. Para el primer caso, se definió una metodología cualitativa con el apoyo de herramientas cuantitativas; para el análisis de los gobiernos locales se utilizó una metodología cualitativa, así como la participación activa en espacios municipales tales como las actividades de rendición de cuentas gestionadas por la alcaldía en los cantones de Heredia y Turrialba. El marco de referencia utilizado fueron las teorías vinculadas a la gestión del modelo de gobierno abierto y la participación ciudadana. Como conclusión principal se extrae que aún y cuando se han venido implementando diversos mecanismos para dar participación a la ciudadanía en la toma de decisiones, el modelo aún es incipiente y es necesario fortalecer tanto las metodologías como los canales y los recursos.
