Authors: PETYK Lyubov , BATSMAN IRINA , BIDA MARTA
Published: February 2022

The article reveals the essence of the concept of monetary policy, analyzes its definition by various scientists and scholars, and determines that monetary policy is a basic component of financial policy of the state, aimed at stable provision of the national economy with the right amount of money, increasing cash efficiency, accumulation funds of economic entities and their involvement in the banking sector, effective allocation of credit resources for the needs of sustainable development of Ukraine’s economy. The main monetary indicators that characterize the state of money circulation are presented, they include: money supply (money value), discount rate, inflation index and exchange rate. The dynamics of money supply change in Ukraine is studied. The number of monetary aggregates is determined, which include: M0 (cash in circulation outside the bank), M1 (M0 and transferable deposits in national currency), M2 (M1 and transferable deposits in foreign currency and other deposits), M3 (M2 and securities except for shares) operating in Ukraine, and their characteristics. The essence of the concept of discount rate is determined and its influence on the cost of loans provided by the National Bank of Ukraine to commercial banks, which changes the demand of the population for a consumer loan. The dynamics of the discount rate of the National Bank of Ukraine for 2014-2021 is also analyzed. The concept of inflation is defined, the consumer price index at the end of each period of 2014-2020 is considered and the dynamics of the inflation index is analyzed: the reasons for the rapid development of inflation in 2014-2015, declining rates in 2017-2020 and the forecast inflation at the end 2021-2022 are shown. The analysis of the average exchange rate (against the US dollar) in the banks of Ukraine for the period 2014-2021 is conducted and the consequences of sharp fluctuations in exchange rates, which contribute to the loss by Ukrainians a significant part of foreign currency savings are determined. The article proposes measures to protect citizens’ savings from the appreciation of exchange rates against the hryvnia: preservation of currency values in banks and insuring them against depreciation of exchange rates.

Authors: Islam Monira , Yusuf Md. Salah Udddin
Published: February 2022

Traffic sign is the key aspect in road and also for the autonomous car. Detection and classification of these sign plays a vital role for the invention of driverless vehicles. Convolutional neural network (CNN) has the ability to learn local features using series of convolutional and pooling layer observing the image sequences. In this work, traffic sign detection and classification has been performed based on deep learning approach. The experiment conducted on Germen Traffic Sign Detection Benchmark (GTSDB) and Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB) for detection and recognition. For traffic sign detection a two-stage detector, Faster R-CNN with ResNet 50 backbone structure is used where the CNN layers extracted the features of traffic signs from the images and the region proposal network (RPN) filter the object from the image to create bounding box based on the extracted feature map. The classification network classifies the traffic signs and predict the proposal confidence score. A general deep learning model is transferred into a specific output with weights with transfer learning by tuning the pretrained model based on COCO image dataset. The performance is compared with ResNet 152, MobileNet v3 and RetinaNet based on the confidence score and mean average precision (mAP). Faster R-CNN with ResNet-50 shows better detection performance comparing with other backbone structure. In addition, a series of convolution layer with batch normalization followed by max pooling layer is used to build a classifier and softmax is used in the output for 43 class classification and 97.89% test accuracy has been obtained.

The last Bos primigenius survived in Bulgaria (Cetartiodactyla: Bovidae)
Authors: Boev Zlatozar
Published: February 2022

A horn-core of Bos primigenius excavated from the depth of 537.3–537.4 m in the late medieval deposits of the second half of the 17th century to the 1st half of the 18th century AD is reported. This record suggests that the aurochs survived in the Central Balkans a century later than the reported known date (1627) from northern Poland.

POSIBILIDAD DE APLICACIÓN DE TÉCNICAS DE CORRECCIÓN NO INTERVENCIONISTA PARA ERRORES ORALES A LA ENSEÑANZA DE IDIOMAS pp.17-32
Authors: Estrada Chichón José Luis
Published: February 2022

En el presente trabajo se reflexiona acerca de la ausencia de intervención correctiva como una posibilidad de técnica de corrección per se para errores orales en la enseñanza de idiomas. Esta propuesta encuentra su justificación en los resultados obtenidos tras la aplicación de tres herramientas de investigación (observación de clases, cuestionarios y entrevistas) en un contexto de educación superior. Se registraron diferencias significativas en la gestión docente del tratamiento de errores orales entre cursos de idiomas (ELE) y cursos de contenido (ANL) o de enseñanza bilingüe en español (lengua extranjera). Respecto al tratamiento de errores orales mediante técnicas de corrección intervencionistas, el estudio tiene en consideración dos variables: los tiempos de intervención pedagógica y las propias técnicas de corrección. Según esta distinción, ambos grupos de profesores optan por intervenir de forma inmediata, lo que conlleva casi necesariamente el uso de técnicas de corrección explícitas. Con todo, para ambos contextos (ELE y ANL) también queda manifiesta la posibilidad de no intervenir sobre los errores orales, sobre todo en los cursos ANL. Por último, se presenta una serie de recomendaciones para profesores de idiomas sobre el tratamiento de errores orales en relación con la posibilidad de aplicar técnicas de corrección no intervencionista.
Blastas a Verbal Weapon in the British Literary Avant-garde and Politics: Polysemy, Multifunctionality, Multimodality. Part 1
Authors: Соколова О.В.
Published: February 2022

В статье проводится лексико-семантический и прагматический анализ слова blast в разных типах дискурса, включая политический, СМИ и авангардный художественный. Полемичность и манипулятивность политического дискурса, с одной стороны, и установка на языковой эксперимент и деавтоматизацию сознания адресата авангардного художественного дискурса, с другой, определяют отбор единиц, обладающих потенциалом интенсификации иллокутивной силы и повышения перформативности. Корпусный анализ частотности употребления и дистрибутивный анализ позволили выявить, что к таким лексическим единицам относится blast как единица, которая обладает признаками существительного, глагола и междометия, а также имеет семантику разрушения и конфликта (в том числе военного). В первой части статьи подробно анализируется функционирование blast в англоязычных медиа- и политическом дискурсах. Исследуется динамика частотности употребления единицы в прессе и в политических текстах за период со второй половины XIX до начала XXI веков, выявляются особенности семантических сдвигов фокуса, грамматической сочетаемости и прагматического функционирования. Во второй части анализируется экспериментальное употребление blast в авангардном художественном дискурсе на материале журнала “Blast” (1914–1915) британского вортицизма (У. Льюиса, Э. Паунда, А. Годье-Бжески и др.), а также проводится интердискурсивный анализ.

The article presents a lexico-semantic and linguo-pragmatic analysis of the word blast in different types of discourse, including political, media and avant-garde literary discourses. The choice of this lexical unit underlies its potential to intensify the illocutionary force and increase the performativity as it is relevant for both political discourse, due to its polemic and manipulative nature, and avant-garde artistic discourse, due to its linguistic experimental and “de-automatizing” intentions. The corpus analysis of the usage frequency and the distributive analysis expose that blast is a relevant unit for our study — it can function as a noun, a verb, and an interjection; it has a damaging and a conflict meaning. The first part of the paper scrutinizes the functioning of blast in English media and political discourses. We reveal the dynamics of its usage frequency in the press and in political texts over the period from the 2nd half of the 19th to the beginning of the 21st centuries, which allows to consider the features of semantic shifts, grammatical co-occurrence, and pragmatic functioning. The second part dwells upon the experimental use of blastin the avant-garde literary discourse in a case study of the magazine “Blast” (1914–1915) of British Vorticism (Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, etc.), as well as provides an analysis of interdiscursivity.
Linguistic Features of the Depiction of Peter the Great in Chinese Electronic Literature
Authors: Маяцкий Д.И.
Published: February 2022

Статья посвящена изучению одного из аспектов языковой картины мира современных китайцев. Исследуется имагологическое восприятие России и в особенности — то, как представлен в китайской сети Интернет языковой образ российского императора Петра I. Новизна статьи обусловлена обращением к прежде не исследованному в зарубежной и отечественной науке материалу. Впервые для изучения специфики языкового изображения Петра I(одного из ярких символов России) в Китае в качестве объекта берутся произведения китайской сетевой литературы. Они задействуются по причине их открытости, свободной доступности и высокого потенциала воздействия на массовые слои населения Китая. В статье раскрывается феномен сетевой литературы, разбираются тексты произведений китайских авторов, писавших о Петре Iи выкладывавших их на специализированных сетевых платформах, выявляются особенности языковых средств, использованных для создания в них образа российского государя, устанавливается наличие некоторых представлений и стереотипов о нем, связанных с романтизацией морганатического брака царя с Мартой Скавронской, демонизацией жесткости его характера и тяги к военным походам и др. Автор приходит к выводу, что эти и другие черты, как правило, имеют реальную историческую основу, но могут подчеркиваться и утрироваться по причине влияния сложившейся в китайской историографии и культуре традиции в оценивании государственной деятельности Петра I.

This article focuses on the study of one of the aspects of the modern imagological ideas of the Chinese about Russia — the figure of the outstanding Russian emperor Peter the Great in the Chinese segment of the global Internet. The novelty of the article is due to the lack of works on this topic in Russia. For the first time to study the image of Peter the Great (one of the brightest symbols of Russia) in China, works of Chinese network literature are taken as an object. The article offers a brief reference that reveals the phenomenon of network literature. The texts of the novels by Chinese authors who wrote about Peter the Great were selected for analysis from specialized network platforms. Internet resources are taken for this study because of their openness, free accessibility and potential massive impact on the democratic strata of the Chinese population. The presence of several basic stereotypes about him is established, associated with the romantic interpretation of the tsar's relationship with Marta Skavronskaya, a girl of low social origin, the toughness of his character, his desire for military conquests, etc. These and other features, as a rule, have a real historical basis, but can be brought to the forefront or even exaggerated due to the influence of a special tradition in the assessment of the state activities of Peter the Great that has developed in Chinese historiography.
The Popularity of F. M. Dostoyevsky’s Prose in China and the Challenges of its Translation into Chinese (exemplified by his novel “Humiliated and Insulted”). Part 2
Authors: Цзиньлин В.
Published: February 2022

Статья является логическим продолжением предыдущей публикации (выпуск 3 (58) 2021), в основном посвященной истории переводов произведений Ф. М. Достоевского в Китае. В первой части статьи был обоснован выбор анализируемого перевода, а также выявлены некоторые лексические причины, препятствуюшие полному воссозданию оттенков смысла в языке перевода. В данной статье, представляюшей вторую часть исследования, рассматриваются стилистические и культурообусловленные трудности воссоздания прозы Достоевского на китайском языке на примере его романа «Униженные и оскорбленные» в переводе Ло Цзыляна. В результате доказывается, на выборочном, но достаточно репрезентативном материале, что основные трудности возникают при передаче эмотивных синтаксических конструкций, а также деталей, связанных с фоновыми культурными знаниями. Подчеркивается важность обращения к пояснениям и комментариям в научных статьях, в примечаниях к полному собранию сочинений писателя и иной справочной литературе. В поисках перевода культурно нагруженных деталей допустимо пользоваться различными компенсаторными приемами, позволяющими воссоздать отношение говорящего к объекту высказывания и остаться верным голосу автора.

The paper represents the second part of research, with Part I published in 3 (58) 2021 and chiefly focusing on the history of translating the works of F. M. Dostoyevsky into Chinese in China. It also accounted for the choice of object — the novel “Humiliated and Insulted” translated into Chinese by Lou Ziliang — and pointed out some lexical challenges that hinder a full reconstruction of all shades of the original meaning in Chinese. The present paper centers round two groups of challenges – stylistic and culture-bound ones. Examples from the novel “Humiliated and Insulted” illustrate the types of challenges and are, hopefully, representative enough to prove that some subtleties of form, such as diminutive affixes, non-existent in Chinese, can only be rendered by compensatory techniques. As for culture-bound challenges, the primary concern of a translator is to understand their textual meaning, which necessitates turning to various reference sources. In translation, cultural realia often require comments, though compensation can also be employed.
Preserving the Sociosemiotic Function of a Text as a Prerequisite Ensuring the Authenticity of Translation
Authors: Марьяновская Е.Л.
Published: February 2022

Автор статьи продолжает исследование фрагментарного романа Ш. Андерсона «Уайнсбург, Огайо» с позиции социосемиотического подхода, предполагающего в процессе перевода перенос из одной языковой системы в другую, одной культурной картины мира в другую, одного социосемиотического контекста в другой. При этом разработанные Р. Якобсоном функции предлагается дополнить социосемиотической функцией текста, которая в процессе предпереводческого анализа может служить камертоном, определяющим многослойность созданной писателем коммуникативной ситуации и показывающим не только, что и как говорят и делают герои художественного текста, но и помогающим эксплицировать социально-культурные условия, определяющие эти слова и действия, а также голос автора и его философию.

The author of the paper advocates the idea that the sociosemiotic approach to fiction translation, a fragmentary novel in particular, proves to be the most comprehensive one, as it deals with bilingual, bi-cultural and bi-social transference. The paper also discusses the sociosemiotic function of a text as added to the ones proposed by R. Jacobson. This function is treated as a prerequisite ensuring the authenticity of translation, because the sociosemiotic function concerns itself with what the characters say and do and how they do it; it also focuses on when (in what context) and why, that means the large-scale social-cultural consequences of such words and actions, serving as an instrument of perfecting the language in all its other functions in the target text. Thus, the sociosemiotic function of a text exposes the multi-level nature of the communicative situation created by the writer, the peculiarities of his/her manner of writing and his/her philosophy, which should be preserved in translation.

Vehicle hire charge as an essential condition of the vehicle hire agreement
Authors: Tyndyk Maxym
Published: February 2022

Problem setting. A vehicle hire agreement is a payment agreement in which a counter-provision is required: the lessee is obliged to pay a fee for the use of the vehicle hired from the lessor.
Despite the fact that a significant amount of research has been devoted to the study of rental fee in property lease contracts, vehicle hire charge has not been sufficiently studied by scientists, and the legislation governing this issue is imperfect and needs to be amended, as evidenced by the drawbacks of lessors as business entities in the application of the provisions of current legislation on vehicle hire charge.
Analysis of resent researches and publications. The issue of rental fee has been studied by legal scholars in various respects. Basic research in this area has been conducted by M. Brahinskyi, V. Vitrianskyi, E. Vakulovych, O. Ioffe, I. Kalaur, M. Moroz, I. Churkin and others. At the same time, the issue of vehicle hire charge as an essential condition of the vehicle hire agreement was given insufficient attention, and thus the matter is urgent and requires further investigation.
Target of research. The purpose of this paper is a general study and analysis of the vehicle hire charge as an essential condition of the vehicle hire agreement.
Article’s main body. The article provides general study and analysis of of the vehicle hire charge as an essential condition of the vehicle hire agreement (its essence, setting and changing deadlines and forms of payment). The provision is substantiated that in the relations of vehicle hiring the rate is the cost of using the vehicle, as a rule, for a certain unit of time. Ensuring the uniformity of the terms of the vehicle hire agreement as a public contract for all consumers, in terms of the form of payment for hiring, can only be established in monetary terms, taking into account economic nature of money, as a single and common equivalent value of any product. According to the author, the vehicle hire charge which the lessee should pay to the lessor for the entire period of its use is the price of the vehicle hire agreement.
Conclusions and prospects for the development. The vehicle hire charge which the lessee should pay to the lessor for the entire period of its use is the price of the vehicle hire agreement. Based on its economic nature, the rate can be set only in monetary terms, as it is the cost of using the vehicle for a particular unit of account (time or distance).
Ensuring the uniformity of the terms of the vehicle hire agreement as a public contract for all consumers, in terms of the form of payment for hiring, can only be established in monetary terms, taking into account economic nature of money, as a single and common equivalent value of any product.

Published: February 2022

he article 30 of the Federal Law "On the Securities Market" establishes that significant facts are information that, if disclosed, may have a significant impact on the value or quotations of the issuer's securities and (or) on the decision to acquire or alienate the issuer's securities by any interested person acting reasonably and in good faith. At the same time, there are very few empirical studies proving the influence of significant facts on the value or quotations of securities of Russian issuers. Modeling of such influence in order to manage the value and capitalization level of Russian issuers is advisable for investors, owners and management of Russian public joint stock companies to study the possibilities of managing the value and capitalization level of companies. The solution to this problem is based on measuring the results of the joint-stock company's activities and publicly disclosing the information necessary for making managerial decisions, which in the Russian Federation includes, among other things, significant facts. Significant facts are events that can change the current state of the company, in particular, affect such an indicator of its activity as the level of capitalization, therefore, affect the decisions made by the interested person. A few studies on the impact of significant facts on the level of capitalization of Russian companies have already been conducted earlier, however, since their implementation, a number of regulatory documents have come into force that change the legislative environment and affect, among other things, the composition of mandatory registration and disclosure of significant facts. This paper presents the results of a study aimed at establishing a list of the most significant events characteristic of companies' activities, identifying events that are universal in terms of the frequency of occurrence and significance of consequences, and finding out whether there is a connection between their occurrence and the effects caused in the form of changes in the values of financial indicators. For the research, data from 20 large Russian companies representing the oil and gas, metallurgical, chemical and energy industries were used, and received in the form of reports for the period following the introduction of changes in the regulatory environment.
Biometric authentication method based on cepstral characteristics of external ear echograms and biometrics-to-code neural converter
Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Sulavko Alexey Е. , Khramov Alexander А. ,   Omsk State Technical University
Published: February 2022

Open biometric images (fingerprint, iris, face) are "in sight" and therefore compromised in the natural environment. In this work, it is proposed to use data on the internal structure of the outer ear obtained using echography as biometric images. The individual characteristics of the ear canal of subjects are hidden from direct observation and cannot be copied by photographing. The proposed authentication method is based on cepstral analysis of echograms of the ear canal using neural network biometrics to code converters, trained in accordance with GOST R 52633.5. The neural network biometrics-code converter allows you to associate a user's cryptographic key or password with his biometric image. This is a shallow neural network of one or two layers of neurons, which is configured to generate a key specified during training when an image of a known user arrives, and when an unknown image arrives at its inputs, generate a random code with high entropy. At the entrance to this network, cepstral signs of echograms were received. To apply the method in practice, you need a special device that combines a headphone with a sound-proof housing and a microphone. The results obtained can be called optimistic EER = 0.031 (FAR = 0.001 at FRR = 0.23). The use of neural network converters biometrics-code showed a relatively higher percentage of errors in comparison with multilayer neural networks and the naive Bayes classification scheme, however, neural network biometrics to code converters allows you to implement authentication in a protected mode. This means that the subject's biometric data will be protected from compromise at the stages of storage, execution and transmission via communication channels.

Ensuring information security of automated process control systems (IACS) is a difficult task and its solution requires an integrated approach. Various computer threats need to be considered, which may be external, internal, accidental or deliberate. With the global growth of cybercrimes and the constant improvement of cyberattacks, it is necessary to increase the level of security of IACS, web resources, information systems, etc. Achieving the goal of increasing the level of security is possible by solving the problem of training users to respond to the facts of the implementation of computer threats during the operation of the IACS, i. e. information security incidents. The article describes software, the main task of which is to provide users of an industrial automated system with practical skills for an adequate response to incidents, which will increase the level of users' knowledge in the field of information security. The paper presents an analysis of the information security of an automated process control system, which showed that, on average, in 89.5% of cases, attackers use malicious software to gain access to information unauthorizedly, and on average, in 83% of cases, they use social engineering methods. An industrial automated system of a large enterprise in the machine- building industry of the Republic of Tatarstan was selected for the study. The results of the study and experimental data showed that as a result of training and after it, users more correctly and adequately respond to emerging information security incidents due to the fact that most situations were considered and analyzed during the training period using software. On average, the number of attacks in the analyzed periods as a whole decreased by 28%: the number of attacks carried out using social engineering methods decreased by 51.75%, the number of attacks using malicious software by 40.25%, the number of DoS-type attacks – by 11.75%, the number of credential brute-force attacks – by 7.5%.
Dina serbica, a new species of leeches (Annelida: Hirudinea: Erpobdellidae) from Serbia, based on morphological and molecular evidence
Authors: Pešić Vladimir , Grosser Clemens
Published: February 2022

In the present study we used an integrative taxonomic approach that combines morphological and DNA barcoding data to describe a new species, Dina serbica sp. nov. from a spring in western Serbia. The average K2P-distance between DNA-barcode sequences of D. serbica sp. nov. and its closest relative D. minuoculata was estimated at 11.96±1.39%. Moreover, the ASAP (assemble species by automatic partitioning) species-delimitation method based on COI sequences from our study and sequences of Dina species from GenBank supported the species-status of D. serbica sp. nov. The first DNA barcoding data for D. dinarica (Sket, 1968), D. montana (Sket, 1968), D. minuoculata Grosser, Moritz & Pešić, 2007 and D. prokletijaca Grossser & Pešić, 2016 were uploaded into the Barcode of Life DataSystems database. The study confirmed the efficiency of a standard molecular COI marker in identification of Dina leeches, emphasising the need for additional morphological and molecular analysis of species of this genus in the Balkans.
Sytuacja rodziców otrzymujących diagnozę prenatalną z podejrzeniem zespołu Downa u swojego nienarodzonego dziecka
Authors: Zając (Łukasik) Dominika
Published: February 2022

Celem artykułu jest omówienie problematyki związanej z sytuacją rodziców oczekujących narodzin dziecka z zespołem Downa. Podjęte badania miały na celu określenie podstawowych trudności i potrzeb rodzin oczekujących narodzin dziecka z zespołem Downa oraz poznanie form i rodzajów wsparcia w przygotowaniu do podjęcia funkcji opieki i wychowania. Otrzymanie przez rodziców niepomyślnej diagnozy prenatalnej swojego dziecka jest sytuacją bardzo trudną. Rodzicie Ci są przerażeni. Nie wiedzą, jak przyjąć taką informację, jak się zachować oraz co zrobić po otrzymanej diagnozie. Dodatkowego tragizmu tej sytuacji dodaje fakt legalności aborcji eugenicznej w Polsce. Z powodu obecnego stanu prawnego rodzice nie zmagają się wyłącznie z uzyskaną niepomyślną diagnozą prenatalną, ale również (co przez rodziców określane jest jako jeszcze trudniejsze) z sugestiami ze strony lekarzy w kierunku wykonania zabiegu terminacji ciąży. Dla rodziców szczególnie ważny jest sposób, w jaki lekarz przekazuje informację o niepomyślnej diagnozie prenatalnej oraz wsparcie udzielane przez rodzinę, lekarzy, personel medyczny oraz innych specjalistów.

Published: February 2022

The precise measurements of energy spectra and anisotropy could help us uncover the local cosmic-ray accelerators. Our recent works have shown that spectral hardening above 200 GeV in the energy spectra and transition of large-scale anisotropy at ∼100 TeV are of local source origin. Less than 100 TeV, both spectral hardening and anisotropy explicitly indicate the dominant contribution from nearby sources. In this work, we further investigate the parameter space of sources allowed by the observational energy spectra and anisotropy amplitude. To obtain the best-fit source parameters, a numerical package to compute the parameter posterior distributions based on Bayesian inference, which is applied to perform an elaborate scan of parameter space. We find that by combining the energy spectra and anisotropy data, the permissible range of location and age of the local source is considerably reduced. When comparing with the current local supernova remnant (SNR) catalog, only Geminga SNR could be the proper candidate of the local cosmic-ray source.

The results of the formative evaluation showed the learning design developed has a validity value of 90 out of a maximum score of 115 with a very valid category. This showed the design has good integrity and is feasible to be applied in online learning in higher education. The design also received a practicality value of 83 from a maximum of 165 in the very practical category, and the students gave a positive perception because they thought that the design could be easily followed in their online learning. The effectiveness test also shows that the network design is very effective for student work in online learning. This is evidenced by the difference in the average score of student work in the group using the learning network design and those using content-based and collaborative design. Furthermore, there were significant differences between those that used the network design and those that used the content-based design. However, there was no significant difference in student work results between the group using the network design and those using collaborative.

Published: February 2022

In this paper we study a harmonic function method for dipolar source reconstruction, and implemented the numerical simulations. We propose a new error estimate and provide a rigorous proof of the estimate. Then, we validate our method in computer-simulated data and study its numerical stability in different noise levels. It is shown that the harmonic function method can be used to quickly and accurately locate the active regions in EEG source reconstruction.

In this paper, we determine the exact metric and fault-tolerant metric dimension of the benzenoid tripod structure. We also computed the generalized version of this parameter and proved that all the parameters are constant. Resolving set $ {L} $ is an ordered subset of nodes of a graph $ {C} $, in which each vertex of $ {C} $ is distinctively determined by its distance vector to the nodes in $ {L} $. The cardinality of a minimum resolving set is called the metric dimension of $ {C} $. A resolving set $ L_{f} $ of $ {C} $ is fault-tolerant if $ {L}_{f}\setminus{b} $ is also a resolving set, for every $ {b} $ in $ {L}_{f}. $ Resolving set allows to obtain a unique representation for chemical structures. In particular, they were used in pharmaceutical research for discovering patterns common to a variety of drugs. The above definitions are based on the hypothesis of chemical graph theory and it is a customary depiction of chemical compounds in form of graph structures, where the node and edge represents the atom and bond types, respectively.

NASA's Psyche mission will launch in August 2022 and begin a journey of 3.6 years to the metallic asteroid: Psyche, where it will orbits and examine this unique body. This paper presents an alternative opportunity of the Psyche mission as well as the return opportunity to the Earth. It uses Mars's gravity assists to rendezvous with and orbits to the largest metal asteroid in the solar system. The spacecraft orbits around Psyche for approximately 1710 solar days, then starts its return journey. In the outer layer of the proposed methodology, the differential evolution algorithm is used to find the optimal launch, flyby and arrival date. In the inner layer, Lambert's algorithm is used for finding the feasible and optimal space trajectories solution. Considering gravity assists, before the gravity assists impulse, an optimal thrust impulse has been calculated at periapsis of the fly-by planet that gives the maximum $ \Delta\nu_2 $ to the spacecraft.

The theory of convex function has a lot of applications in the field of applied mathematics and engineering. The Caputo-Fabrizio non-singular operator is the most significant operator of fractional theory which permits to generalize the classical theory of differentiation. This study consider the well known Hermite-Hadamard type and associated inequalities to generalize further. To full fill this mileage, we use the exponential convexity and fractional-order differential operator and also apply some existing inequalities like Holder, power mean, and Holder-Iscan type inequalities for further extension. The generalized exponential type fractional integral Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities establish involving the global integral. The applications of the developed results are displayed to verify the applicability. The establish results of this paper can be considered an extension and generalization of the existing results of convex function and inequality in literature and we hope that will be more helpful for the researcher in future work.

The objective of this paper is to achieve the inequality for Ricci curvature of a semi-slant warped product submanifold isometrically immersed in a generalized complex space form admitting a nearly Kaehler structure in the expressions of the squared norm of mean curvature vector and warping function. In addition, the equality case is likewise discussed. We provide numerous physical applications of the derived inequalities. Later, we proved that under a certain condition the base manifold $ N_T^{n_1} $ is isometric to a $ n_1 $-dimensional sphere $ S^{n_1}(\frac{\lambda_1}{n_1}) $ with constant sectional curvature $ \frac{\lambda_1}{n_1}. $

Izumrtje in ponovljivost konca: Wells, Cuvier, Nietzsche
Authors: Žele Marisa
Published: February 2022

Prispevek se nameni raziskati stik med literarno imaginacijo konca sveta, kot je ta upodobljen v H.G. Wellsovem znanstveno-fantastičnem romanu Časovni stroj in konceptom izumrtja, idejo francoskega naturalista Georgesa Cuvierja, ki na prelomu 19. stoletja oblikuje tezo o strukturi sveta, ki ima vase vgrajen konec kot elementaren gradnik svojega naravnega ustroja. Časovnega potnika v Wellsovem romanu v daljno prihodnost žene obsesivna želja po uzrtju usode sveta. Sreča jo na obali že mrtvega morja, kjer ga pričaka podoba umirajočega sveta, tihega in odetega v rdečo luč trajnega sončnega zahoda. Cuvier se po drugi strani s koncem sveta sreča kot bralec sledi tiste zgodovine, kot jo pripoveduje naravni svet skozi svoje plastenje in nalaganje. Znotraj teh plasti Cuvier prepozna momente repetitivnih prekinitev, ki so v veliki naravni zgodovini pustili za seboj ne samo cele vrste in rodove, temveč vključno z njimi tudi cele svetove. Ključno vprašanje je tako status konca, ki ga bomo obravnavali znotraj mehanizma vrnitve in ponovitve.

Newtonova kritika Descartesovega pojmovanja gibanja
Authors: Vesel Matjaž
Published: February 2022

Avtor zagovarja tezo, da je Newtonova vzpostavitev razlikovanja med absolutnim in relativnim gibanjem, tj. zavrnitev opredelitve gibanja v razmerju do zaznavnih stvari, v »Sholiji o času, prostoru, mestu in gibanju« iz Matematičnih principov filozofije narave v veliki meri rezultat njegovega kritičnega obračuna z Descartesovo filozofijo narave. To je razvidno iz primerjave »Sholije«, v kateri Descartes sicer ni omenjen, z Newtonovo izrecno kritiko Descartesa v rokopisu De gravitatione. Pozitivni rezultati Newtonovega kritičnega soočenja z Descartesovim pojmovanjem gibanja so namreč skoraj v celoti identični njegovi teoriji gibanja iz »Sholije«: definicija gibanja mora zadevati celotno telo in ne samo njegove površine; vanjo je treba namesto »vzajemnega prenosa« vključiti silo, ki je vzrok fizičnega gibanja; gibanje teles je enakomerno hitro in premo, kar pa je mogoče doseči samo znotraj okvira absolutnega prostora oz. razsežnosti. Kar zadeva teorijo gibanja, je bil Newtonov filozofski izziv torej vseskozi Descartes.

The study applied concepts of computational thinking, waterfall programming, and design-based learning management (DBLM) combined with a participatory action research (PAR) methodology to obtain an integrated learning management model (LMM) designed as a base to promote computational thinking skills (CTS) and programming proficiency. The study used three groups consisting of 21 volunteer computer science undergraduate students, three teachers, and three computer studies graduates from the Computer Studies Department of the Faculty of Education at Thonburi Rajabhat University in Thailand. To verify the model, nine educational experts conducted an assessment of the proposed model, and determined that the evaluation standards were overall at a high level (x ̅ = 4.23, SD = 0.44), with the experts feeling that the integration of the DBLM computational thinking framework, the Waterfall programming conceptual framework, and the PAR met the study's stated objectives at the highest level (x ̅ = 4.56, SD = 0.53). The proposed model is best undertaken in five week sessions of five hours each using five exercises per week. In doing each activity, the effectiveness of each activity is to be measured by taking notes, worksheets, and practice skills. The resultant outcome was that the groups jointly participated in finding a model which offered CTS and programming skill training which encouraged the participants to learn together to develop activities based on common needs.
