Optymalny poziom przestępczości w świetle celów polityki kryminalnej
Authors: Najman Michał
Published: July 2024

Many research are devoted to the goals of punishment’s issue. Some authors are in favor for the aggravation of a penalty, while others are in favor for the penalties of a more lenient type that are aimed at rehabilitating the offender and enabling him to return to society. Still, the superiority of punitive or liberal criminal policies has not been scientifically proven. In economic analysis of law the concept of the optimal level of crime becomes more popular nowadays. This concept depreciates the perception of the objectives of criminal law, which are combating and preventing crime. The aim of the article is to demonstrate that a given concept is based on the incoherent assumptions vitiating aims of criminal law and policy, thus cannot be implemented.
Zawieszenie postępowania przygotowawczego a czynności dowodowe – postulaty de lege ferenda
Authors: Jarocki Radosław
Published: July 2024

In recent years, there has been a noticeable abuse by prosecution bodies of the institution of suspension of proceedings during the pre-trial proceedings. While it is possible on the basis of article 22 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the prerequisites indicated in this provision are not enumerated and the catalog of prerequisites is open. It can lead to opportunism going too far as a basis for suspension of the proceedingsdue to the lack of statutory limits within which proceedings can be suspended. At the same time, it is considered that article 22 of the Code of Criminal Procedure applies not only to court proceeding already pending, but also to pre-trial proceedings. As a result, law prosecution bodies are even entitled to arbitrarily using the institution of suspension of proceedings, thereby leading not only to the possibility of losing evidence or distorting it, but also causing a restriction of the victims’ right to justice. The aim of the presented article is to show that the current form of the institution of suspension does not fully realize the requirements in accordance with the principles of criminal procedure, so the de lege ferenda postulate is a more detailed regulation of the issues relating to the actions that can be taken by law prosecution bodies, as well as those relating to securing of evidence.
Chwasty i ptaki – fotografia między ekokrytyką, studiami ekokulturowymi i wizualną kulturą ekologiczną
Authors: Michałowska Marianna
Published: July 2024

W artykule poddano analizie stworzone przez dwie polskie artystki prace – Endling Diany Lelonek (2022) i Plantae malum Anny Kędziory (2021). Obie artystki płynnie poruszają się między fotografią a instalacjami przestrzennymi. Ukazując obiekty i obrazy niczym eksponaty naukowe, opowiadają o relacji między człowiekiem a środowiskiem naturalnym, ujawniają mechanizmy wykluczania i eksterminacji. Słowo „endling” oznacza ostatniego przedstawiciela gatunku. Z kolei „plantae malum” to określenie „chwastów”, postrzeganych z perspektywy antropocentrycznej jako „złe rośliny” i dlatego przeznaczonych do likwidacji. Prace Lelonek i Kędziory są nie tylko wizualne i przestrzenne, lecz także „intertekstualne” w sensie tkania narracji o środowisku, bogate w odniesienia kulturowe i naukowe skojarzenia. Wybrane studia przypadków usytuowano w kontekście badań ekokulturowych (Ewa Rewers), ekokrytyki (Timothy Clark) i wizualnej kultury ekologizmu (koncepcja T.J. Demosa). Każda z tych koncepcji podkreśla kulturowo-naturowe uwikłania utworów artystycznych oraz – jak w przypadku wizualnej kultury ekologizmu – potrzebę porzucenia tradycyjnej estetyki na rzecz badania prawno-polityczno-ekonomicznych relacji wpływających na obieg obrazów.
Man Ray, czyli o odzyskiwaniu „pomiędzy” słowem a obrazem
Authors: Frelik Edyta
Published: July 2024

Tocząca się obecnie debata na temat związków i relacji zachodzących między mediami artystycznymi stała się punktem wyjścia omówienia twórczości Man Raya, jednego z najbardziej rozpoznawalnych przedstawicieli wczesnego modernizmu, którego dokonania, zwłaszcza literackie, są wciąż zbyt mało znane jako przykłady modernistycznej samoświadomości artystycznej. Przywrócenie jego dorobku, obejmującego dzieła wizualne, teksty i multimedialne hybrydy, jako bogatego historycznego źródła może, zdaniem autorki, przysłużyć się uwidocznieniu i „odzyskaniu” dla współczesnego dyskursu o kondycji transmedialnej tego, co Rosalind Krauss nazywa „wewnętrzną podszewką” medium czy formy, a Marjorie Perloff – za Chlebnikowem – „sznurkami alfabetu” skrywanymi przez „widma” czy wittgensteinowskie „wyobrażenia”. Sztuka Man Raya, niesłusznie uważana przez wielu za „wagi lekkiej”, poświadcza słuszność twierdzeń Waltera Benjamina o znaczeniu danego medium czy formy technologicznej dla, jak pisze Krauss, „rekonfiguracji kondycji wszystkich pozostałych sztuk”. W wizualno-werbalnych realizacjach Man Raya (które artysta nazywał plastyczną poezją) wyczuwalny jest trop, który Perloff od lat odsłania w swoich poszukiwaniach „niespełnionej obietnicy rewolucyjnego, poetyckiego impulsu”, wskazując na to, co, choć trudne do nazwania, istnieje „pomiędzy”, w duchampowskiej sferze inframince. Utrwalona w słowach i obrazach refleksja na ten temat jest wszechobecna w dziełach Man Raya, ale jej głębia i wielorakie sensy w pełni zyskują nowy wymiar, kiedy płótna, kolaże, konstrukcje, fotografie, rayografy czy filmy „czyta” się w kontekście jego zaskakująco bogatej i różnorodnej twórczości pisarskiej. „Odzyskanie” mnogich wątków w niej zawartych jest istotne jako kolejne, choć dla wielu niespodziewane, potwierdzenie trwałości gestu awangardowego.

SENSE DIFFERENTIATION OF TEXTS AS A COMPONENT OF NEURAL NETWORK MODELLING
Authors: Довгань Олексій В.
Published: July 2024

The article argues that the most productive for linguistic research at the present stage is the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) due to their productivity, representativeness, etc. It is emphasized that the basis for such use should be sense differentiation, thanks to which linguists can optimize the search, analysis, etc. of data for their research. In particular, taking into account semantic, morphological, syntactic, etc. features will allow the production of more reliable, fundamental results in various tasks of Natural Language Processing (NLP). The author emphasizes that the above will result in a qualitative leap in the scientific research of Ukrainian linguists, the possibility of presenting their results to world science, and further fruitful cooperation with foreign colleagues within the framework of grant programs.
Thus, the semantic differentiation of texts is an integral part of the actualization of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) (in particular, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network (BiLSTM), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Deep Learning Networks (DLNs), Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), etc.) in modern linguistic research within the digital humanities. In the author’s opinion, the latter is produced by the focus on practical results, localization of implementation (in particular, Natural Language Processing (NLP), sentiment analysis, etc. Therefore, further study, improvement, and optimization of the existing innovative tools (in particular, neural network modelling of linguistic units) include work on more effective methods of working with context (through a combination of different types of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) with different layers, which is presented in the work of foreign colleagues), localization of language styles (essential in the process of fact-checking initiatives – as a milestone for validating text data), etc. without manual intervention in the above.
O contexto linguístico das comunidades tradicionais de terreiro
Authors: Santos Erikson Bruno Mercenas
Published: July 2024

Este trabalho aborda o contexto linguístico das comunidades tradicionais de terreiro (CTTro), sobretudo o Candomblé, que estabelece uma relação com o contexto histórico e os ritos internos da religião como forma linguística de resistência através da oralidade (Hampatê Bâ, 2010) visto o processo de colonização no Brasil, que teve como efeito o aniquilamento das tradições africanas em diáspora (Nascimento, 2019). A interação através da oralidade traduz ou modela o tipo de comportamento que a comunidade estabelece a partir dos valores culturais que foram recebidos. Os estudos dos atos de fala, desenvolvidos por Austin (1990), permitiram analisar algumas práticas de terreiro como de caráter de ação performativa. A linguagem enquanto ação é considerada performativa, cujos efeitos marcam as vidas e o mundo social e, frequentemente, as suas intenções (e pretensões) conscientes (Rajagopalan, 1996). Considera-se que os atos performativos através dos processos ritualísticos das CTTro nos vinculam a uma ética, ancestralidade e identidade africana-negra, na medida em que são nesses espaços que são mantidos o cimento cultural que une os elementos diversos de um povo através do sentimento de continuidade histórica vivido pelo conjunto de sua coletividade (Munanga, 2020).PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Atos de fala. Comunidades. Linguagem. Performatividade. Tradição oral.
Non-weird (psycho)linguistic endeavors: theoretical and metacognitive research with the Karajá of central Brazil
Authors: Maia Marcus Antonio Rezende , Gomes Juliana Novo , Cid de Garcia Daniela
Published: July 2024

Cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics have historically been dominated by research conducted within Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies, resulting in a disproportionate representation of this demographic in scholarly investigations. In this article, we report basic and applied research investigating order of constituents and morphological representation and processing conducted with speakers of Karajá, a non-european language of Central Brazil. The basic research findings contribute novel insights about the Karajá language, challenging certain purported language universals while corroborating others, thereby enriching the broader understanding of human cognition. The applied research explores methodological avenues to foreground indigenous voices and perspectives into the investigation process, acknowledging the potential drawbacks of employing WEIRD analytical categories when exploring non-WEIRD languages. We invite speakers of the language to the center of the discussion in metacognitive activities in which speakers use their insights to formulate hypotheses and create a theory for the grammar of the language. In line with the discussions in Maia (2022) in which eye tracking data was used at the Middle school and University levels, in these Karajá sessions, we also used qualitative eye tracking data as an aid to help Karajá language teachers to “go meta”, as put by Mahdavi (2014). We conclude by stressing that if we are to take seriously the importance of non-WEIRD science to the WEIRD world, there ought to be an increasing recentering of “participants” to more protagonist roles in research.
ECOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF DOTHIDEOMYCETES IN THE STEPPE ECOSYSTEMS OF THE STEPPE ZONE OF UKRAINE
Authors: Korolyova O. V.
Published: July 2024

The article considers the ecological structure of the Dothideomycetes and the peculiarities of its formation in conditions of steppe ecosystems of the steppe zone of Ukraine. The materials of the work were the original mycological collecting carried out within the mycological survey of this territory during 2008-2020, sporadic collections of 2021 and 2023, as well as the materials of the herbarium of the M. G. Kholodny Institute of Botany (KW). Herbarium collection and identification of the samples were performed in accordance with the generally accepted methods of cameral processing of xylotrophic, herbotrophic and coprothrophic micromycetes. As a result of our research, characteristic features of the ecological structure of the investigated mycobiota were established.

According to the substrate specificity, among the species of Dothideomycetes found in the steppe communities, herbotrophs (74 species) dominate, xylotrophs (28 species), phyllotrophs (14) and coprophiles (7) are also represented. Phytotrophic species of micromycetes develops on 120 species of vascular plants, with the largest number of micromycetes (65 species) noted on plants of the Asteraceae.

By trophic specialization, the vast majority of the considered species belong to saprotrophs (103 species), but there are also representatives of pleomorphic hemibiotrophs (20 species). Some hemibiotrophic species at the saprotrophic stage of the life cycle do not have a strict substrate limitation, just like obligate saprotrophs. Species of fungi are discussed.

A comparison of the substrate specificity of the studied species of fungi showed that in arid sandy-steppe and sagebrush-steppe plant communities, a wider distribution of herbosaprotrophic species is observed in comparison with meadow-steppe communities.

A comparative analysis of the species composition of Dothideomycetes in steppe and forest communities of the steppe zone revealed 13 general species, among which 10 species were found on different plant substrates.

The most significant ecological and biological peculiarities of the investigated mycobiota in the conditions of steppe communities of the steppe zone of Ukraine are the formation of stable consortium relationships with a considerable variety of higher plants, zonal and seasonal change of the habitats as a adaptive mechanism for the settlement of the studied species of fungi. The prospect of further research is the study of changes in the species structure of micromycetes under the conditions of anthropogenic influence in the steppe ecosystems of the steppe zone of Ukraine.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM MUNICIPAL WASTE DISPOSAL SITES AND MEASURES FOR ITS REDUCTION
Authors: Satin I. V. , Kutsyi D. V.
Published: July 2024

Disposal of household waste at landfills and dumps leads to greenhouse gas emissions. Usually emissions are estimated based on the IPCC methodology, which takes into account the amount and composition of household waste as well as the climate conditions of the region. However, greenhouse gas emissions are significantly influenced by the technical and operational parameters of landfills and dumps. The Ukrainian landfill gas model, which is adapted to local conditions, allows these parameters to be taken into account.

The objective of this study was the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from certain classes of landfills and dumps, taking into account their specific parameters based on the Ukrainian landfill gas model, as well as the development of measures for its reduction. For this, landfills and dumps were classified by area, which indirectly characterizes their capacity and place of location. Based on the results of the classification, it was determined that out of more than 7,000 landfills and dumps in Ukraine, about 320 are classified as large sites. These sites occupy more than a third of the total area of landfills and dumps in Ukraine and contain up to 84% of disposed household waste. Large landfills and dumps are a priority for greenhouse gas emissions study.

According to the results of greenhouse gas emissions study, their total amount is estimated to be 5,833.5 thousand tСО2. These amount 32.9% less than similar estimates according to the IPCC methodology, which is explained by the higher accuracy of the Ukrainian landfill gas model and its parameters. Of the total amount of greenhouse emissions, up to 40% can potentially be reduced by the continued development of landfill gas collection systems, which actually reduced about 10% greenhouse gas emission in 2021. This potential can be increased by half and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions can potentially reach up to 60% of their total emissions from landfills and dumps. For this purpose, the rehabilitation of the landfills and dumps should be conducted along with the development of landfill gas collection systems. However, rehabilitation is a complex and expensive measure, and the rationale for its application may be the subject of further research.

Authors: Zaitseva І. А. , Lazariev А. S.
Published: July 2024

Walnut is a promising element of the greening system of the Ukraine urbanized landscapes due to its resistance to environmental pollution, durability, fast growth, fruit qualities, etc. The aesthetic value and health-improving functions of Juglans regia trees in the city can be significantly weakened due to the destruction of the leaves by arthropod phyllophages and diseases.

In the presented work, an analysis of the phytosanitary status of J. regia trees in green areas of Dnipro was carried out, the main leaf diseases were determined, a complex of insects and mites – phyllobionts of walnut trees, was established, and the level of their harmfulness was assessed. The research was conducted during the growing season of 2021 once a decade on 12 experimental sites, which differed in the conditions growth of J. regia trees growth. The study object was the walnut leaves and unripe fruits. 75 J. regia trees were examined.

On average the damage degree to J. regia trees leaves by diseases is 46.9 %. The damage level by brown spot is 8.3 times higher than the similar indicator for white mould. The influence of anthracnose causative agent (Marssonina juglandis) often extends to walnut green fruits.

The overall level of leaf damage by arthropod phyllophagous is 79.6 %. Among the types of damage are dominate the change in the leaves color due to sucking insects feeding (58.5 %) and gall-formation (53.8 %) as a result of the gall mites (Aceria erinea, A. tristriata) vital activity.

The walnut arthropod phyllobionts taxonomic composition in the green areas of Dnipro city was determined. 16 species in 11 families and 4 orders were identified. The share of Hemiptera is 62.5 %, Lepidoptera – 18.8 %, Trombidiformes – 12.5 %, Thysanoptera – 6.2 %. Six species of entomophages were also identified. Two especially dangerous invasive species – Metcalfa pruinosa and Halyomorpha halys, were found on J. regia trees in some plots of the Dnipro city right bank territory. The most common and harmful species are the following: Aceria erinea, A. tristriata, Panaphis juglandis, Caloptilia roscipennella; potentially threatening – Halyomorpha halys, Metcalfa pruinosa.

Bilirubin derivatives in bile, blood, and liver of rats upon correction of experimental fatty hepatosis
Authors: Illek Josef , Veselskyi Stanislav , Pototskyi Andrii , Gryshchenko Viktoriia , Reshetnik Yevdokiia
Published: July 2024

The relevance of this study lies in the lack of reliable information on the key aspects of the molecular mechanisms of fatty hepatosis, a common mammalian disease, and its dangerous complications, such as fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. These circumstances substantially complicate the prompt diagnosis of this hepatopathology and reduce the effectiveness of treatment. The metabolism of the heme derivative bilirubin is unique and inherent in the liver, which undergoes transformation due to hepatocyte enzyme systems to form neutral compounds, such as glucurono-conjugates and sulphoconjugates, which undergoes changes and requires analysis in fatty hepatosis in animals. The aim of the study was to determine the characteristic changes in the content of unconjugated bilirubin and its sulphoconjugate, glucuronide, monoglucuronide, monoglucoside, and diglucuronide in the blood, bile, and liver of rats under the modelling of fatty hepatosis and the administration of rehabilitation therapy. For this, the thin-layer chromatography method was used. It was found that under tetracycline-induced fatty hepatosis in laboratory rats, the concentration of unconjugated bilirubin in the blood decreased by 39.3%, bilirubin glucuronide by 44.4%, and the total fraction of bilirubin monoglucuronide and monoglycoside by 78.9%. Oral administration of the milk phospholipid complex in the composition of the BAS “FLP-MD” to sick animals ensured the maintenance of these indicators at the control level. The content of bilirubin glucuronide and bilirubin diglucuronide decreased in the liver tissue of the treated rats. When these animals were administered a phospholipid-containing bioadditives, the level of unconjugated bilirubin in the liver tissue increased by 22.2%, but the content of its conjugated forms decreased. The content of all the studied bilirubin fractions decreased in the bile of sick rats during self-rehabilitation. The components of the BAS “FLP-MD” in fatty hepatosis in rats did not affect the reduction of unconjugated bilirubin in bile but eliminated the inhibitory effect of the modelled pathology on the content of all conjugated forms of bilirubin. The findings can be used as biochemical markers to monitor the pigment metabolism in the development of fatty hepatosis in mammals
Justification for choosing the type of belt conveyor drive
Authors: Polishchuk Leonid , Piontkevych Oleh , Burdeinyi Mykola , Trehubov Vadym
Published: July 2024

The designs and dynamic properties of electromechanical and hydraulic drives for a belt conveyor have been analyzed to justify their selection. The main advantages and disadvantages of their operation have been formulated. It has been established that the hydraulic drive has advantages compared to the electromechanical one for installation in a built-in drive for a belt conveyor.
The design features and principles of operation of these drives have been described. Calculation schemes have been developed for the electromechanical and hydraulic drives of the belt conveyor. A mathematical model of the electromechanical drive has been constructed, taking into account the Voigt viscoelastic model for the conveyor belt, Hooke's laws for the deformation of stretching elements, equations of motion of the mechanical system, and electromagnetic phenomena in the asynchronous motor. Additionally, a mathematical model for the hydraulic drive of the belt conveyor has been constructed, which, besides the equations of motion of the mechanical system and the Voigt viscoelastic model for the conveyor belt, also includes the continuity equations of the working fluid flows in the hydraulic drive.
The parameters of the belt conveyor for studying the dynamic properties of the electromechanical and hydraulic drives, which are considered in the mathematical models, have been described. The mathematical models for the electromechanical and hydraulic drives have been solved using the Mathcad software package. Theoretical curves for cases of transient processes in the mechanical system of the belt conveyor without load and with load have been constructed. Transient processes of acting torques and angular velocities have been compared by the dynamic coefficient, and it has been established that the hydraulic drive has a better indicator by 1.78 times. It has also been established that the duration of the transient process in the drive with the electric motor exceeds this parameter in the drive with the hydraulic motor by 3.5 times.
It is recommended to use the built-in hydraulic drive for belt conveyors of mobile working machines because it has more advantages over the electromechanical one, and the dynamic indicators of the hydraulic drive provide better performance during operation.
Analysis of the influence of construction factors on the passability of armored tank vehicles and the method of its increase at the account of automatic regulation of air pressure in wheel tires

The purpose of the study is to analyze and determine the influence of various factors on the patency of armored vehicles (AMT) operated by the National Guard of Ukraine. Determination of the change in patency during the movement of AMT in different road and climatic conditions. Analysis of static and dynamic loads, which are characteristic of AMT movement over rough terrain, and their impact on the efficiency of the vehicle. The theoretical component of the study was carried out using mathematical modeling of the work process of regulating the air pressure in tires of AMT wheels, using the example of changes in the characteristics of adhesion coefficients with the supporting surface and rolling resistance depending on the change in pressure and load on the tires of the wheels when the AMT is moving off-road. As a result of mathematical modeling, the dependences of air pressure in tires of AMT wheels were obtained, depending on the coefficient of rolling resistance and the load on each of the wheels. Which, in turn, makes it possible to move to a sufficiently complete mathematical modeling of the movement of AMT on off-road, taking into account the reference cross-country ability.
In the process of theoretical research, the structural parameters of the impact on the patency of AMT were analyzed quite completely, and a generalized comparative indicator of the patency parameters of vehicles was proposed. When analyzing it, it was found that the AMT tire and, specifically, the change in air pressure in it, have a significant impact on the bearing capacity.
The authors propose to use the following evaluation criteria as criteria for assessing the efficiency of the passability when driving on deformable surfaces: a generalized comparative indicator of the parameters of the passability of vehicles. As a result of consideration of which, a significant influence on the patency parameters of the tires and directly the air pressure in them was established. Regulation and change of the air pressure in the tires of the wheels depending on the change in the coefficient of rolling resistance as well as the change in the load on each wheel, which are the ratio of the work that is spent on the traction force when overcoming different degrees of heaviness of the resistance of the supporting surfaces with the effect of deformation. And the load that falls on each of the AMT wheels allowed us to draw conclusions about the improvement of the regular tire pressure regulation system (RPRS) of the wheels.

Published: July 2024

With modern methods of conducting military operations, the system of technical support of the troops is of great importance. One of the ways to increase the effectiveness of the system of technical support of troops is the use of armored repair and evacuation vehicles.
It is possible to increase the technical capabilities of armored repair and evacuation vehicles by modernizing existing models, or creating qualitatively new vehicles that take into account the specifics of use and characteristic combat damage of modern weapons and military equipment, the type of engine of the military vehicle, its weight and dimensions and other characteristics.
Improvement and modernization of armored repair and evacuation vehicles allows to ensure their effectiveness. Armored repair and evacuation vehicles demonstrate high efficiency when carrying out operations to extract or lift damaged or stuck, blocked, bogged down, sunken military equipment. In these cases, the traction force of the armored recovery vehicle's own engine is used or its own specialized means of evacuation: crane winches, polyspatch systems, crane booms together with power hydraulic cylinders of their drive, levers, other evacuation equipment.
Features of the lifting and loading equipment include such modes of operation as lifting loads from a solid surface, detaching the load from a viscous surface, dragging at different angles to the support surface, and getting stuck.
The most difficult in terms of dynamic overloads of all elements of the hydraulic manipulator is the mode of partial immersion and dense sticking of the load in clay soil, when after separation from it, the load under the action of the forces of elastic deformations of the suspension flies up to the height of a significant relaxation of the suspension and reaching the upper point, where its speed is zero, falls down on an elastic suspension. At the same time, a three-fold overload of the manipulator links is observed.
Improving the fuel efficiency of a spark ignition engine under full load conditions by adding nitrogen oxide to the air charge
Authors: Gutarevich Yurii , Hora Mykola
Published: July 2024

The article presents the results of the oretical studies on the impact of methods for improving the energy characteristics on the fuel economy of a spark ignition engine with feedback and a three-way catalytic converter under full load conditions. Various methods for improving the energy characteristics of spark ignition engines to achieve high energy efficiency are known. The most commonly used method is enriching the fuel-air mixture under full load conditions. However, this method has several drawbacks, including reduced fuel economy and inefficient operation of the catalytic converter. Another known method for improving the energy characteristics of spark ignition engines is by adding oxygen-containing gases, particularly nitrogen oxide, to the air charge, where oxygen by volume constitutes 33%, significantly higher than in air (21%). This method is widely used for boosting the performance of sports car engines. However, there is a lack of research on the impact of this method on fuel economy compared to the enrichment method in the literature. Improving the fuel economy of the engine without deteriorating the energy characteristics is possible by transitioning from operating on enriched fuel-air mixtures to operating on a stoichiometric mixture by adding nitrogen oxide to the engine's air charge. This task was addressed in the article through calculations using experimental data. Fuel economy was evaluated by comparing the specific effective gasoline consumption determined by the engine's work when using an enriched fuel-air mixture and adding nitrogen oxide to the air charge to regulate it to a stoichiometric mixture. It was shown that using nitrogen oxide additives to the engine's air charge can improve fuel economy and increase engine energy characteristics compared to the method of enriching the fuel-air mixture.

Published: July 2024

An analysis of scientific research was conducted in the direction of reducing the negative impact of the use of individual vehicles on the street and road network of cities. In order to solve the problem of transport oversaturation of public transportation systems, the foreign experience of limiting the use of individual vehicles on the street and road network of cities was analyzed. The main directions of restrictions on the use of individual vehicles on the street and road network of cities have been established, including restrictions on the operation of individual vehicles depending on the number of passengers in the cabin, the digital configuration of the state license plate, and the presence of vehicle certification. Methods of limiting the operation of individual vehicles in the busy part of the city were also considered. These measures are aimed at reducing the intensity of traffic in cities and increasing the filling factor of the vehicle interior. Considering that a large share of individual vehicles used in Ukraine belongs to Euro-2 and Euro-4 environmental standards, their use significantly worsens the environmental situation in large cities. Approaches aimed at increasing the use of public transport and other alternative modes of transport for transporting passengers in cities are summarized, which reduces the load on the street and road network and improves the environmental situation. To solve the described problems, it is necessary to use a comprehensive approach, in particular, to apply measures of both a regulatory and an informational nature, primarily to popularize the use of public transport. The proposed measures to solve the described transport problems will improve the comfort of transport connections for all road users and the environmental situation, especially in large cities of Ukraine.

Published: July 2024

Fragaria × ananassa Duch refers to common and popular berry crops. Its productivity is used to characterize the cultivation of a variety in a particular region and the acceptability for industrial cultivation. The experiment was conducted to evaluate promising garden strawberry seedlings by productivity and its components, as well as to select the best seedlings for breeding. The experiment was carried out in 2022-2023 at the Orenburg breeding site of the FSBSO ARHCBAN. The research invloved six promising seedlings from three crossing combinations: ‘Darenka’ × ‘Bereginya’ + ‘Lord’ (pollen mixture), ‘Vima Xsima’ × ‘Studencheskaya’, ‘Lord’ × ‘Tsaritsa’ + ‘Kent’ (pollen mixture). The released variety ‘Senga Sengana’ was chosen as a control. Strawberry productivity potential is determined by main morphostructural components: number of pedicels, number of fruits per bush and their average weight. The number of pedicels per bush of the studied seedlings varied on average from 5.2 (No. 7-3-42) and from 4.3 (No. 6-2-34) to 8.0 pcs in the figure. (No. 6-2-36). The highest number of fruits per bush 39.0 pcs. was observed in seedlings No. 6-2-36, No. 6-2-30 and 37.0 pcs. in No. 6-1-7, while the least number of formed berries was detected in control variety Senga Sengana. Seedlings No. 6-2-36, No. 6-2-33, an d No. 7-3-42 obtained large berries during the research period, their average weight amounted to 9.1-9.2 g. The productivity of seedlings ranged from 196.1 to 358.8 g/bush. The promising seedling No. 6-2-36 was distinguished by productivity, number of pedicels and fruits, as well as average berry weight.
Agro-technological aspects of growing branched annual apple nursery plants
Authors: Upadysheva G. Yu.
Published: July 2024

The article presents an analytical review of Russian publications reporting the results of studies that search for optimal ways to affect apple plants in order to obtain branched annual plants. Since it has been proved that nursery plants of a certain age and quality are preferable for each type of intensive planting, as their use promotes the early maturity of trees thus ensuring a quick economic return on capital investments, it is currently relevant to study the production of apple tree planting material with specified biometric parameters. The use of mechanical impact on the above-ground part of grafted plants to suppress apical dominance is considered; the effectiveness of stimulating premature shoots in the crown area is confirmed. Much attention is paid by researchers to the chemical treatments of plants in the fields of fruit tree nurseries to improve the quality of annual plants. The use of cytokinin preparations and gibberellic acids is shown to be highly effective. The maximum effect on obtaining branched annual plants in most works was achieved in pomological apple varieties that are prone to the formation of premature shoots, with the budding on vegetatively propagated rootstocks of a first-grade commercial variety at a height of over 15 cm above the soil surface. One of the alternative ways of obtaining branched annual plants is wood grafting in spring and cultivation both in the field and in protected ground with a root-ball system. According to most researchers, the greatest effectiveness of the combined use of various techniques can be achieved only with strict adherence to conventional technologies for each method of cultivation.

For preventing the spread of COVID-19, health authorities urgently turned their attention to urban public transportation. It is believed that virus transmission is more likely to occur in public transportation due to increased exposure to infected individuals in the closed and crowded spaces of public transport. This study aimed to model effective factors in the use of public transportation systems during a pandemic based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). The methodology used was structural equation modeling, with 358 Iranian passengers in Tehran participating and data collected through a questionnaire. The data underwent analysis by means of the partial least squares method with the assistance of SMARTPLS software. The results indicate that passenger satisfaction is affected positively and significantly by expectation and service quality. Behavioral control, subjective norm, attitude, perceived usefulness (PU), and perceived ease of use (PEU) each contribute positively and significantly to the formation of intention. Service quality, PU, and PEU positively and significantly affect attitude. Finally, expectation, intention, PU, and PEU positively and significantly affect the use of the public transportation system. Therefore, it can be inferred that amalgamating TPB and TAM can serve as a robust indicator of passengers' inclination towards using public transportation during pandemic situations, as well as their actual usage of it.

The side junctions of metal-plastic block frame windows to the walls of residential buildings at different positions of window frames in the wall cavity are analysed. The duration of thermal failure state by the condensate formation criterion was used as a probabilistic indicator of reliability. The units of uninsulated walls, erected in the second half of the 20th century, have a clearly insufficient thermal reliability level. Thermal insulation of walls according to current design standards in most cases ensures an acceptable of the thermal failure state duration.

Published: July 2024

The goal of this research was creation and validation of a methodology for the development of production systems of suppliers of the automotive industry. The theoretical starting points analyze the available literary sources and point to the insufficient treatment of the issue by a comprehensive industry standard representing a gap in the current state of knowledge. The practical part of the research is divided into two stages. The subject of the first stage is the standardization of the methodology through a structured scientific procedure in intensive cooperation with a panel of experts. The subject of the second stage is testing the methodology on authentic projects of the application sector using case studies. The results of the testing showed that in all projects managed using the proposed methodology there was an increase in performance compared to projects managed in a traditional way. The successful confrontation of the proposed solution with reality (practice) is underlined by the confrontation with the current state of knowledge (theory). The practical benefits of the research are the possibility of implementing the methodology into the pedagogical process at training workplaces and, above all, its application into engineering practice to develop new production systems of suppliers of the automotive industry.
