Instructions of digital media use in higher education: The impact of text abstractness on university teachers’ psychological distance, interest, and motivation to use digital media.
Authors: Matschke Christina , Kehrer Mareike , Nieder-Steinheuer Kathrin , Thillosen Anne , Kimmerle Joachim
Published: January 2025

Research has demonstrated that the use of digital media has great potential to stimulate learning processes and outcomes, especially when purposefully combined with methods that require physical presence, such as in hybrid teaching and learning formats (HTLFs). But so far, the application of HTLFs in higher education does not tap the full potential. One reason is the teachers’ lack of knowledge and lack of time to acquire the didactical knowledge for digital media use in their teaching. As university teachers acquire their media competences mostly autodidactically, providing instructions of HTLF on the internet is a pragmatic way to make information about digital media use in teaching accessible to teachers. It remains unclear, however, how instructions should be designed to have a positive impact on teachers’ knowledge and application intentions. The current research investigates how the abstractness of HTLF instructions affect psychological distance, interest, self-efficacy, and motivation to apply digital media in teaching. In an experimental study with university teachers (N=97), we manipulated the abstractness of a description of oral video exams. We found that concrete (compared to abstract) descriptions decreased the hypothetical distance to the method described, which, in turn, increased subsequent information search about digital media in teaching, utility expectations, and behavioral intentions to use the method in one’s own teaching. The present research demonstrates that even small measures, such as the purposeful design of an instruction, may set off processes that contribute to the enrichment of teaching and learning methods at universities.
Adaptive Social Learning using Theory of Mind

Published: January 2025

Social learning is a powerful mechanism through which agents learn about the world from others. However, humans don’t always choose to observe others, since social learning can carry time and cognitive resource costs. How do people balance social and non-social learning? In this paper, we propose a rational mentalizing model of the decision to engage in social learning. This model estimates the utility of social learning by reasoning about the other agent’s goal and the informativity of their future actions. It then weighs the utility of social learn- ing against the utility of self-exploration (non-social learning). Using a multi-player treasure hunt game, we show that our model can quantitatively capture human trade-offs between social and non-social learning. Furthermore, our results indicate that these two components allow agents to flexibly apply social learning to achieve their goals more efficiently.
The Underbelly of Digital Healthcare in India
Authors: Khera Reetika
Published: January 2025

What are the potential risks from the deployment of digital technologies in healthcare in a country like India where neither basic literacy nor digital access are universal. Using three case studies – a Covid-19 tracing app, a Covid-19 vaccine portal and a unique digital ID – this paper delineates possible harms, such as exclusion, privacy invasion, data security among others, that such technologies may cause. The aim is to show that, contrary to popular perception such technologies are not risk-free, the costs associated with their use are not uniformly distributed across a population and the harms arise from both their design and implementation. Their disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations tends to hide the costs associated with them. This feature (the asymmetric impact) of digital technologies in healthcare makes it a particularly pernicious problem to tackle, because the need for safeguards is not adequately recognized or prioritized.
How Media Unions Stabilize Technological Hype: Tracing organized journalism’s discursive constructions of Generative Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Ananny Mike , Karr Jake
Published: January 2025

Amidst ongoing challenges to journalism’s economic models, labor markets, and technological practices, a new pressure has recently appeared in many newsrooms: the power of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) computational models and off-the-shelf interfaces to synthetically create content that passes for news. Seeing the phenomenon through the lens of this special issue’s focus on “hype,” this paper uses discourse analysis to understand how journalism unions define GenAI as a problem, articulate the value of journalism against it, and use collective bargaining to contractually shape its use in newsrooms. Motivated by scholarship detailing hype as popular communication, expectation setting, and technological stabilizing, we examine journalistic trade press, union statements, and collective bargaining agreements to offer a 6-dimensional image of GenAI hype and union-driven responses to it, and reflect on notable absences in media unions’ understanding of GenAI. We see this as a case of journalists articulating their roles and values in an all-too-common moment when they are challenged by sociotechnical forces that they did not create, but that they must nonetheless collectively navigate and reshape in service of the profession’s democratic mission.

Published: January 2025

Background & Objectives: Pregnancy-related death and morbidity rates are significantly impacted by the prenatal care provided to expectant mothers. Low birth weight (LBW) is the single most important factor among the several causes of perinatal mortality; consequently, placentas from all LBW babies (LBWB) should be routinely investigated to determine the likely reason. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pathological alterations in the placenta associated with LBWB.
Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study performed at Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences, Kavre, Nepal. In this study, 100 placentae were included. 44 placentae from full-term delivered babies and 56 from pre-term delivered babies, all of them weighing less than 2500 gms. A gross and microscopic examination of the placentae was done.
Results: 100 placentas from low-birth-weight babies were studied. Most of the mothers were in the age group of 26-30 years with primi contributing to 59%. Gross findings like infarction and calcification were noted in 8% and 29 % of the cases. Microscopic findings like Intervillous hemorrhage (44%), Syncytial knots (69%), Stromal fibrosis (24%), Basement membrane thickening (26%), Cytotrophoblastic hyperplasia (28%), Increased villous vascularity (12%), Fibrinoid necrosis (17%), Calcification (38%), Villitis (12%) and Chorangiosis (15%) were noted.
Conclusion: Histopathological study together with clinical examination of placenta is simple and cost-effective technique in identifying the features present in LBWB placentae.

INTRODUCTION
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a critical condition with signiﬁcant morbidity and mortality risks. Direct oral anticoagulants, such as rivaroxaban, have emerged as effective alternatives for DVT management, yet their impact on recanalization rates remains underexplored.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
A prospective observational study conducted at UCMS Teaching Hospital enrolled 104 patients diagnosed with DVT of both upper and lower limbs from February to September 2024. Duplex ultrasonography assessed thrombus resolution at baseline and after six months of rivaroxaban therapy. This study evaluates the recanalization rates in patients with DVT treated with rivaroxaban using duplex ultrasonography.
RESULTS
Among 104 patients (41% male, 59% female), 23.8% achieved complete recanalization, 66.7% had partial recanalization, and
9.5% showed residual thrombi. Complete recanalization rates were highest in femoral veins (25.8%) and lowest in popliteal
veins (24%).
CONCLUSION
Rivaroxaban demonstrates favorable recanalization outcomes in DVT patients, supporting its use as ﬁrst-line therapy. Further studies are needed to optimize treatment and prevent complications like post-thrombotic syndrome.

Demographic and Socio-economic Factors Affecting Fertility in Madhesh Province
Authors: Ale Manawata
Published: January 2025

This study used secondary data from the 2022 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) to explore factors affecting fertility among 2,499 women in Madhesh province. The mean number of children ever born (CEB) in Madhesh was 2.21, higher than the national average of 1.86. The findings revealed higher fertility rates, larger household sizes, and younger age profiles in Madhesh compared to national averages. Education levels were lower, and the ages at first cohabitation and childbirth were earlier. Significant positive relationships were found between fertility and factors such as age, breastfeeding, child mortality, ideal number of children, and household size. In contrast, fertility was negatively associated with wealth, desired number of children, household head age, and pregnancy status. Furthermore, female household headship, the husband's age, and the husband's occupation positively affected fertility, while the husband's education level had a strong negative effect. The study suggests that targeted programs addressing these factors are needed to reduce fertility rates and meet Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Madhesh province. Factors such as religion, ethnicity, place of residence, age at first cohabitation, age at first birth, contraceptive use, abortion, respondents' education and occupation, amenorrhoeic status, marriage-to-first-birth interval, and employment in the last twelve months were found to be non-influential.
Personification in Oscar Wilde's "The Selfish Giant"
Authors: Adhikari Bhawani Shankar
Published: January 2025

The research has displayed the role of the literary figure of speech, personification used in the story of Oscar Wilde's "The Selfish Giant". It has linked the four types of the personifications and how the British women have been applied as the personifications to extend the colonial government as the civilized and the superior race in the globe. As the British women have been found to be powerful to the British colonial government, so is the strength of the use personifications in the work of art and in the literary creativity. The personified objects and the seasons in the story have elevated its classic form to the fairy –tale as the story of the children and it has lured the attention of the readers. Reading such personified tales enhances the creativity of the children and of any readers but it is to be identified as the language of personifications by the readers while reading it. The beauty and the strength of the fairy-tale would be lost in absence of the personified objects and the seasons in the story "The Selfish Giant". Overall, personification in “The Selfish Giant” makes the story’s moral lessons more accessible and memorable for children by giving human traits to non-human elements and depicting their interactions in a way that resonates with the readers' own experiences and emotions. While younger children might understand personification more through the narrative and illustrations, older children might analyze it more critically and recognize it as a literary device used to enhance the story’s themes and moral lessons. It has been found that the teachers have to apply some of the techniques in the context for the students in making them comprehending the use of the personification in the story and by displaying the effectiveness of the use of the figure of speech in creating the curiosity for the learners.
Community Engagement in Local Governance
Authors: Guragain Govinda Prasad
Published: January 2025

Community engagement in local governance is crucial for effective and inclusive decisionmaking. Lack of Awareness and Information has been found that limited knowledge can have its community members may not fully understand the governance processes or their rights and responsibilities. Information gaps have been found that the insufficient information about local issues and decision-making processes can hinder meaningful participation. Low Participation Rates have been found that apathy and disinterest is that some community members may be disengaged due to a lack of trust in the system or a perception that their participation will not make a difference. Barriers to access has been found that the physical, economic, or social barriers may prevent certain groups from participating, such as the elderly, disabled, or economically disadvantaged.
During the initial phase (2008-2013) of the Local Governance and Community Development Program (LGCDP) in Nepal, social mobilization emerged as one of its most effective components. Approximately 1 million citizens actively influenced local government decisions, leading many local bodies to develop annual plans that more accurately addressed the needs of citizens, particularly marginalized and disadvantaged groups. However, there remain several lessons to be learned in addressing the challenges of implementation. It is crucial to harmonize local social mobilization efforts and enhance the quality and support of social mobilization initiatives across Nepal. Addressing the challenges of community engagement in local governance involves a multifaceted approach that includes enhancing communication, building capacity, fostering inclusivity, and ensuring accountability. Public education campaigns have been found to Conduct outreach programs to educate community members about their rights, governance processes, and how they can participate. Workshops and training have been identified to offer workshops and training sessions to increase understanding of local governance and decision-making procedures. Diverse engagement channels have to utilize multiple platforms for engagement, including town hall meetings, online forums, surveys, and community events, to reach a broader audience. Inclusive scheduling has to schedule meetings and events at times that are convenient for different community groups, including evenings and weekends

Published: January 2025

Economic development in Indonesia cannot be separated from the very important role of UMKM in improving the domestic economy. The biggest contribution of UMKM is that they are able to absorb and provide jobs for many workers. But behind that, UMKM have other challenges such as lack of capital and financial literacy, especially in Banyuwangi Regency. Many UMKM players under the UMAMI association have not been disciplined in preparing financial reports so they have difficulty getting financing from banks. To overcome this, the Abdimas team held mobile application-based financial management training activities to help UMKM players improve their ability to record financial reports in a neat and structured manner.  The training method used in Abdimas activities is a participatory approach which begins with preparation of joint activities with UMAMI partners. The next activity is making a work plan which is followed by implementing activities in the form of training on the use of financial applications and ends with an evaluation to determine the effectiveness of using financial applications. Training in the use of financial applications has a positive impact on UMKM. Where previously training was carried out on financial management applications, 56% of UMKM players thought it was not very important. However, after the training, more than 70% of UMKM players felt satisfied and stated that this application was very useful for UMKM players in making financial reports neater and more structured. Based on the benefits obtained, UMKM players will continue to use financial applications on an ongoing basis to increase the awareness and ability of UMKM players in managing finances using technology.

Published: January 2025

Purpose. To assess the stability of the roof in the excavation space of the excavation area to prevent lateral rock collapses and to justify a set of measures to improve the safety of miners in coal mines.

Methods. The study of the stability of the roof was performed on a model of a multi-span beam using analytical calculations and optical modeling.

Results. The preserved stability of the roof in the mined space of the coal massif provides conditions for supporting mining operations. Calculations of multi-span horizontal and inclined beams have been performed. The calculations are based on the disclosure of the static uncertainty of beams using the equations of three moments. Reactions in intermediate supports and maximum bending moments along the length of the beam with the same number of intermediate supports have been determined. It has been established that for a uniformly loaded continuous beam with equal spans, the first and last intermediate supports are the most loaded in all cases. To reduce the bending moment in the span of the modeled beam, it is recommended to take into account the strength of the intermediate supports.

In optical models, the concentration of tangential stresses in the lateral rocks is determined by the curvature of the contour of the preparatory workings and the bending of the roof along the length of the cleaning working. The maximum concentration of tangential stresses is recorded in the area of ​​supports located around the retreat and ventilation shafts. This situation around the preparatory workings indicates an intensive load on the fasteners. The concentration of stresses leads to roof destruction, collapse and deterioration of the stability of the preparatory workings. In real conditions of coal seam development, the condition of the roof is a determining factor on which the stability of the preparatory workings along the length of the excavation section depends.

Novelty. It consists in carrying out a comprehensive study of the stability of the roof in the created recess space.

Practical significance. To ensure the stability of the preparatory mine workings on the boundary with the created space of the excavation area, the location of supports is necessary, the stability of which allows limiting the movement of the roof and ensuring a smooth deflection of the overhanging layer of rocks. The maximum effect is achieved when the stiffness of the supporting supports matches the physical and mechanical characteristics of the side rocks.

Comparison of Clinical Outcomes in Lung Cancer Patients Diagnosed through Screening Programs versus Symptomatic Presentation: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Derdiyok Onur
Published: January 2025

Objectives: The objective of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of lung cancer patients diagnosed through screening programs (workplace screening, premarital screening, and check-up programs) and those diagnosed based on symptomatic presentation, all of whom underwent VATS lobectomy between 2019 and 2021.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 45 patients diagnosed with stage I and II lung cancer. Patients with comorbid conditions, those with a history of major surgery, tuberculosis, or cancer, and those aged over 65 were excluded. All included patients received chemotherapy. Patients were divided into two groups: those diagnosed through screening programs (16 patients) and those diagnosed based on symptoms (29 patients). All patients underwent VATS lobectomy. Postoperative complications, 36-month survival rates, and causes of death were compared between the groups.

Results: The 36-month survival rate was higher in the screening group compared to the symptomatic group. Additionally, the recurrence rate was lower in the screening group. Among symptomatic patients, 3 presented with hemoptysis. Causes of death included respiratory failure, metastasis, and cardiovascular events. These findings suggest that early diagnosis through screening programs leads to better clinical outcomes.

Conclusions: Screening programs for lung cancer facilitate early diagnosis and treatment, resulting in improved survival rates and lower recurrence rates. The implementation and promotion of these programs could significantly enhance patient outcomes.

Radzenie sobie ze stresem przez członków wspólnoty Domowego Kościoła
Authors: Opalach Cezary Wojciech
Published: January 2025

W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki empirycznej weryfikacji hipotezy, według której członkowie wspólnoty Domowego Kościoła (DK) prezentują bardziej skuteczne style radzenia sobie z sytuacjami stresowymi. Badania przeprowadzono na grupie 30 małżeństw należących i nienależących do tej wspólnoty na podstawie Kwestionariusza Radzenia Sobie w Sytuacjach Stresowych (CISS) autorstwa NormanaS. Endlera i Jamesa D.A. Parkera. Potwierdziły one zakładaną hipotezę i dowiodły, że członkowie DK najczęściej stosują strategię zorientowaną na zadaniach, a najrzadziej zorientowaną na unikaniu w formie zaangażowania w czynności zastępcze. Podstawowym źródłem uzyskanych danych wydaje się być przynależność do DK, co pozwala w walce ze stresem korzystać z modlitwy i dialogu małżeńskiego, wysokiego poziomu religijności, kompetencji komunikacyjnych i mądrości życiowej, nawet przy niższym poziomie wykształcenia niż w grupie kontrolnej. Nie można jednak wykluczyć, że w odniesieniu do niektórych z tych czynników, członkostwo w DK pełni jedynie rolę mediatora, a uzyskane zależności najbardziej są skorelowane z inteligencją i osobowością. W celu jednoznacznego rozstrzygnięcia tych wątpliwości konieczne jest prowadzenie dalszych badań empirycznych.
Dlaczego książę Edmund Radziwiłł (1842–1895) nie został biskupem wrocławskim?
Authors: Jodkowski Marek
Published: January 2025

Książę Edmund Radziwiłł wywodził się ze zniemczałej linii Radziwiłłów. Był księdzem diecezji wrocławskiej, jednak w 1870 r. przeniósł się do archidiecezji gnieźnieńskiej i poznańskiej. Otrzymał wówczas urząd wikariusza w Ostrowie Wielkopolskim. Zaangażował się w działalność polityczną na Górnym Śląsku, zyskując poparcie partii Centrum. Przez wiele lat był posłem tej partii w parlamencie niemieckim. Mimo swojego koncyliacyjnego podejścia spotykał się jednak z krytyką zarówno centrowców, jak i Polaków. W 1881 r. został kandydatem na biskupa wrocławskiego. Tego samego roku również biskup chełmiński zabiegał o jego nominację na swojego koadiutora. Ze względu jednak na propolskie wypowiedzi księcia, jego zaangażowania w sprawy narodowościowe, jak też jego polskie pochodzenie, kandydaturę tę odrzuciły władze pruskie.
Developmental Needs of Small Children. Threats and Potential Consequences of Transferring Children to Nursery
Authors: Dudziak Urszula
Published: January 2025

A child’s proper development requires love expressed through close parental care and contact that allows for the establishment of bonds. Many parents place their children in a day nursery due to the economic needs of society, their career development, the desire to increase the family’s financial standard, impatience with their own children, ignorance of the rules of care and upbringing, and the belief that professional educators can perform educational tasks better. Politicians compete to highlight the growing number of such facilities and funds allocated for their maintenance. However, it is questionable whether separating parents who go to work and children who are placed in a day nursery has a positive effect on the children’s development process. Is this practice an expression of parental care, or does it cause conscious or unconscious harm to the younger generation? What do people who care about the child’s best interest focus on, and how can they create the best conditions for their development? What steps can be taken to make the initial stages of a child’s life as appropriate as possible, considering it is the foundation of shaping proper attitudes in the future? This article is based on a review of both theoretical and empirical publications, which supports the presented conclusions and postulates.
Landscape Architectural Discourses on Restoration
Authors: Bush Kyle , Wolff Erich
Published: January 2025

The literature of landscape architecture points to an intensifying interest in “landscape restoration” practices. This literature represents restoration projects as demonstrations of multifaceted societal ambitions achieved through landscape transformation. Through exemplary case studies, we trace the lineages and evolution of restoration and related concepts, situating them against discourses of beautification and civility; integration and functionality; and adaptation and complexity that characterized landscape architectural practice through the Picturesque, Ecohumanist, and Landscape Urbanist periods. Each case study presents a distinct practice employed to transform the landscape in ways that reflect scientific breakthroughs and societal ambitions, as understood through discourses between 1730 and the present. We highlight an apparent conflation in contemporary terminology describing these practices and a lack of critical evaluation of the complex implications of such initiatives.
Deictic Dimensions in Translation: Analysis of Personal Deixis in the Indonesian and Arabic Versions of Blue Lock Comics
Authors: Muhamad Raihan  , Hizbullah Nur , Abdil Ghany Sayyed Zuhdi
Published: January 2025

This study explores the use of personal deixis in the Indonesian and Arabic translations of the Japanese manga Blue Lock, emphasizing the impact of linguistic and cultural nuances on translation. Using Alan Cruse's theory of personal deixis, the research examines first-, second-, and third-person categories through a qualitative descriptive approach. Data from official translations by Gramedia (Indonesian) and مانجا العربية للشباب (Arabic) were analysed using purposive sampling, documentation, and content analysis. The findings reveal notable differences: Arabic employs 276 instances of personal deixis with greater diversity due to its gendered and number-specific pronouns, while Indonesian uses 145 instances, reflecting simpler, contextually flexible deixis. Functions such as subject, object, possession, and postposition were more richly contextualized in Arabic. These variations are influenced by linguistic structures, cultural norms, and translators’ interpretive decisions, affecting narrative localization. By examining a genre seldom studied in pragmatics, this research highlights the challenges of translating context-sensitive expressions in popular media and underscores the intricate interplay between language and culture in translation.
Features of three-dimensional modeling of architecture in Autodesk 3Ds Max (on the example of an individual residential building)
Authors: Khomenko Valentyn
Published: January 2025

The article describes the trends in the development of modern computer technologies, particularly in architecture. A feature of modern architectural design is modeling and visualization of future architectural and design projects. The need to search for methods and principles of optimization of the process of three-dimensional modeling of an architectural project has been determined, which will make it possible to speed up the creative search and implementation of an architectural design.
An analysis of the latest research on the topic of computer-aided design in the field of architecture was carried out. One of the main directions of modern architectural design is three-dimensional modeling and visualization, which includes both the creation of a 3D model and obtaining the final realistic image of the object.
The main advantages of computer-aided design in 3Ds Max are defined and argued. Autodesk 3Ds Max is the most versatile software product for three-dimensional modeling, which has a wide range of tools and functions that fully satisfy the process of creating 3D models of future architectural projects. The main modeling techniques in 3Ds Max, which lead to the complex use of various tools and functions of the program, are formulated.
Given the peculiarities of modeling, 3Ds Max requires optimization and a special approach to the process of creating a three-dimensional model of an architectural project. The main stages of building a 3D model in 3Ds Max are defined, which allow to simplify and speed up the process of three-dimensional modeling.
Three-dimensional modeling and visualization is a promising direction of modern architectural design. Optimizing the process of three-dimensional modeling in 3Ds Max, with the help of methods and basic modeling techniques, helps the architect to gradually form a three-dimensional planning solution of the architectural project, in accordance with his own creative idea.
Influence of residential building on the planning structure of cities, types of residential building depending on the socio-economic factor

The article presents an analysis of the current calculation of the density of residential buildings, its influence on the further calculation of the territory for the functioning of residential buildings. The article also hypothesizes that residential buildings should have different types, which in turn should affect the calculation of its density. The article presents theses of the importance of building density, its impact on the environment and people's lives. Examples of various residential buildings, their functionality, and the typology of apartments and apartments are also given.
In Ukraine, the density of residential buildings is calculated according to a single principle, according to the urban planning department. Regardless of any socioeconomic, geographic, or market factors. That is, the calculation of the number of residents is accepted in accordance with DSTU [24], in residential buildings the number of people who are permanently in the facility (L/f is determined according to the norm of 21 m2 of total area per owner (lessee) of the home and each member of his family and an additional 10.5 m2 per family.
 The article proposed: Modern trends in urban development dictate new rules to which the market responds, but architectural standards do not. It is safe to say that the modern housing development of Ukrainian cities is not uniform and can be divided into the following categories:

Family-type residential buildings of medium storey, with a predominant amount of appropriate infrastructure, such as playgrounds, educational institutions, etc.
Residential construction of the business segment as part of a multifunctional building. Where the vast majority of residents use this building exclusively for recreation and spend most of their time next to the public building. In my opinion, this type of residential development definitely does not need playgrounds in the same amount as a family building.
Residential development for students and young professionals. There is also a completely different need for infrastructure and a different approach to the density of such buildings.
Country-type residential building, recreational, up to 4 floors. Usually, such a building has socio-economic features such that it is located outside the city, has a high level of motorization, but at the same time it is usually located near large areas of nature, forests, reservoirs, which already partially become part of its infrastructure.

 The main examples are: Fayna town residential complex, Unit city, MIT campus and Park lake city residential complex, each for every social economic factor.
The principle of "cumulative development" is fundamental for the complex process of restorative-reconstructive transformations in the historical city
Authors: Leshchenko Nellya
Published: January 2025

The article reveals the general principle of ‘cumulative development’ formulated by the author as fundamental for the complex process of restorative- reconstructive transformations in a historical city at all systemic levels - urban planning, volumetric, functional, and socio-economic, to improve the quality of its existing buildings, which vary in degree of historical and architectural value and destruction. This principle should be interpreted as the city's ability to accumulate various historical and modern positive properties, which together contribute to qualitative changes in it. Thanks to this, the historical urban environment retains its formed uniqueness and receives its continuation in the new compensatory development, which determines its development. This principle is implemented through the combined impact of preserving, restoring, renewing, and transforming methods of restorative-reconstructive transformations to improve the quality of the existing urban environment for living, working, and spending free time in it through the simultaneous preservation and enhancement of the primary importance of its historical layout and development and their contextual addition with new elements for the necessary renewals and changes that will ensure its value and integrity and transition to a new higher quality level. This will contribute to its ‘revival’ and continuity - ensuring the temporal continuity of the architecture of existing buildings and spaces, and in no case copying it. The techniques that reveal this principle of transformation are identified and discussed in detail. Recommendations are given on the relevance of using these techniques for the historical urban environment, which varies in historical and architectural value and destruction. They will help to effectively improve the quality of the existing historical urban environment of any degree of historical and architectural value and destruction and transform it into a comfortable place to live, as well as interesting and convenient for visiting.

Published: January 2025

The paper systematizes the models of reliable and safe functioning of the software. As a result of the research, three types of models were identified: analytical; statistical; empirical.
A number of the most frequently used models are considered, and their disadvantages and advantages are highlighted from the point of view of solving the problem of describing the safe functioning of a software product and recognizing malicious software. According to the results of the research, the considered models have advantages in terms of the simplicity of their practical implementation, but at the same time, the following disadvantages are highlighted: some of the considered models require a large amount of computing resources when implemented - for security analysis and accumulation of archival data; the use of statistical and probabilistic models of assumptions that the intensity of attacks/failures or the number of errors in software have a pre-known distribution (binomial, standard or Poisson), which is not always true for real processes and systems; there is no division into software failures and failures due to cyber attacks, zero-day vulnerabilities are also not taken into account; memory accesses of the investigated software are not analyzed, which could provide important information about its legitimacy or the presence of malicious functions; none of the considered models provides a comprehensive representation of the process of software functioning, including, there is no analysis from the information security side.
The task of recognizing malicious software is becoming more and more relevant and difficult every year in connection with the digitalization of human activities and the use of software for the execution of business logic and technical processes in complex systems. As a result, the larger the volume of software in the system, the more errors there are potentially, and due to the connection of modern systems to the Internet, the software is often distributed over the network, which allows attackers to create new vectors of cyber attacks on systems.
The proposed model of safe functioning of the software product should eliminate the shortcomings inherent in the considered models. The proposed model eliminates the mentioned shortcomings due to the fact that it takes into account the characteristic features of the manifestation of malicious software on devices, namely the impact of malicious software on the computing resources of the system and working with RAM. This allows the developed model to take into account both the reliability of software operation and security.
In terms of the model, the criteria for the safe functioning of the software are formulated, it is concluded that for the most effective implementation of such a model in practice, a hypervisor should be used.
