Authors: Assymkhan N.B. , Kartbaev A.Z.
Published: January 2025

Predicting thermal comfort is crucial for optimizing built environments for human habitation, as it impacts health, productivity, and overall well-being.  To address this imperative, interdisciplinary collaboration among architects, engineers, psychologists, and data scientists is needed to develop reliable predictive models that anticipate occupants’ thermal comfort preferences across diverse environmental conditions and architectural designs.  Traditional methods rely on human comfort models, which can be subjective and time-consuming. Machine learning algorithms, such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Random Forest (RF), have been utilized to predict thermal comfort with high accuracy and efficiency. The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the building management systems industry, with adaptive control algorithms and modular architectures exploring the IoT paradigm. This paper discusses the use of SVM and Random Forest algorithms for predicting thermal comfort in buildings, exploring their strengths and weaknesses and comparing their performance in different scenarios. The study analyzed a dataset of thermal comfort data, filtering by quantity and removing outliers. The data was split into 80% for training and 20% for testing. The study used SVM and Random Forest models to capture complex relationships between environmental parameters and thermal comfort responses. The results showed that the IQR method provided 3-4% accuracy, while the reducing label values method offered 20-23% accuracy. The study also tested the parameters of the models, resulting in a 2-4% difference between the two models. The study concluded that Random Forest appears more stable than SVM and plans to add new features to improve accuracy.

В статье рассматриваются методы опреснения морской соленой воды методом прямого осмоса с использованием различных вытяжных растворов с высоким осмотическим давлением при разных концентрациях. Исследование охватывает применение хлорида натрия, сахарозы и бикарбоната аммония. В качестве исходных растворов использовались морская вода из Каспийского и Средиземного морей, а также растворы хлорида натрия с концентрацией, соответствующей солёности морской воды.
Результаты экспериментов подтвердили прямую зависимость между концентрацией вытяжного раствора и потоком воды. Высокая концентрация вытяжного раствора приводит к повышению осмотического давления, что способствует увеличению потока воды через мембрану. Максимальный поток воды был зафиксирован на первых сутках эксперимента. При использовании хлорида натрия в концентрациях 9%, 18% и 25% для опреснения воды Средиземного моря поток воды через мембрану составил 20,29 л·м⁻²·ч⁻¹, 55,7 л·м⁻²·ч⁻¹ и 81,12 л·м⁻²·ч⁻¹ соответственно. В сравнении с обратным осмосом, который имеет производительность 7,5 л·м⁻²·ч⁻¹/кПа, метод прямого осмоса демонстрирует значительное преимущество. Объем полученной чистой воды при концентрациях 9%, 18% и 25% составил 272 см³, 647 см³ и 741 см³ соответственно. Таким образом, можно сделать вывод, что с увеличением массовой концентрации раствора хлорида натрия используемый в качестве вытяжного раствора объем получаемой чистой воды также увеличивается. При опреснении воды Каспийского моря максимальный поток воды с 25%-ным вытяжным раствором был достигнут в первый день эксперимента и составил 91,0 л·м⁻²·ч⁻¹, объем чистой воды после регенерации — 579 см³. Эксперименты с сахарозой показали, что поток воды возрастает с увеличением концентрации вытяжного раствора, максимальный поток воды достиг 31,33 л·м⁻²·ч⁻¹ при  использовании 70% сахарозы. Объем чистой воды после регенерации составил 105 см³. Способ опреснения морской воды с использованием бикарбоната аммония оказался наиболее эффективным и экономичски целесообразным, обеспечив максимальный поток воды 71,5 л·м⁻²·ч⁻¹ при концентрации вытяжного раствора 3,846 моль/л. Регенерация воды осуществлялась термической обработкой раствора в интервале температур 36-70 °С, при этом получено 556 см³ чистой воды, не включая объем воды, использованной для приготовления раствора.
Полученные результаты подтверждают значительный потенциал прямого осмоса для эффективного опреснения соленых вод, что имеет важное значение для решения проблемы доступа к чистой воде в мире, включая Казахстан.

Проблема повышения эффективности и качества буровых работ предполагает открытие новых нефтегазоносных территорий и освоение все больших глубин в известных районах. Бурение скважин на большие глубины, как правило, сопряжено с существенными трудностями, вызванными усложнением горно-геологических условий, к которым, в первую очередь, относятся интервалы с аномально высокими (АВПД) и низкими давлениями (АНПД) флюидов. Бурение скважин в осложненных условиях требует использования соответствующих буровых растворов. Современные буровые растворы представляют собой дорогостоящие, многокомпонентные системы с большим содержанием различных дорогостоящих химических реагентов и материалов. Одними из основных проблем, с которыми сталкиваются специалисты при бурении, являются поглощения буровых растворов, потеря устойчивости ствола скважины. Поэтому при выборе состава и параметров буровых растворов вначале производится оценка геологических условий, где реализуется процесс бурения скважин. Известно, что геологические условия бурения представляют собой сложную систему, в которой присутствует различные факторы, в связи с чем выбор того или иного состава и технологии представляет процедуру принятия решений в условиях неопределенности. В этой связи, проведение экспериментальных исследований, получение, анализ информации и принятие решений в отмеченных условиях представляют интерес, что и обосновывает постановку задач исследований.

Published: January 2025

A adolescência é marcada por inúmeras transformações que podem ser intensas para jovens que apresentam o Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção/Hiperatividade. As novas demandas do cotidiano, associadas aos sintomas inerentes ao transtorno podem ser agentes estressores e afetar negativamente a qualidade de vida do indivíduo. Este estudo descreveu a associação entre o perfil comportamental (indicativos de TDAH) e os níveis de estresse, autopercepção e expectativas de futuro, de uma amostra de 322 adolescentes, matriculados em uma escola pública de ensino médio. Os dados foram coletados no ambiente escolar e utilizou-se os instrumentos: ISD, ETDAH-AD, ESA, SPPA e o questionário sobre expectativas de futuro. Realizou-se as análises descritivas, qui-quadrado de Pearson e regressão logística binária. Os resultados indicaram que a autopercepção negativa dos adolescentes com indicativos de TDAH está associada a altos níveis de estresse e que as demandas sociais e acadêmicas podem gerar sofrimento mental e revelaram que a autopercepção negativa apresentada pelos sujeitos com indicativos de TDAH é congruente com os altos níveis de estresse revelados na amostra investigada. Ademais, as demandas sociais e acadêmicas estabelecidas ao adolescente que não dispõe de recursos para atendê-las gera sofrimento mental que se expressa no sentimento de incapacidade, nos altos níveis de estresse, em angústia e insegurança quanto ao futuro. Evidenciou-se a necessidade de políticas públicas, principalmente, educacionais que possam contribuir para aumentar a efetividade da escola em uma oferta pedagógica que busque minimizar as dificuldades do público com necessidades educacionais diferenciadas, sobretudo, dos estudantes com TDAH.

Published: January 2025

Corporate boards are increasingly becoming diverse, with women playing pivotal roles in shaping governance practices and economic outcomes. This study investigates the impact of women on corporate boards (WOB) on reducing information asymmetry—a persistent issue in financial markets that affects investment decisions and corporate valuation. Using a panel dataset comprising 240 non-financial firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges over 2008–2023, the study integrates insights from stakeholder and agency theories to explore how board diversity influences information transparency. This research analyzes the impact of WOB on information asymmetry, with CSR and analyst coverage serving as moderating factors. The study indicates that the presence of female directors on organizational boards enhances governance structures, as these organizations demonstrate elevated levels of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and garner increased analyst attention, thereby mitigating information asymmetry and fostering trust among stakeholders. This research examines the beneficial effects of board diversity from an economic and governance standpoint within organizations, particularly in the Chinese market, where transitional institutional structures present both challenges and opportunities. Consequently, the study addresses the intersection of gender diversity, corporate social responsibility, and analyst coverage, providing valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and management seeking to improve market efficiency and economic equity. The findings endorse the significance of employing inclusive governance as a mechanism for cost reduction and enhancing the accountability of major corporations while fostering sustainable development.

Published: January 2025

Establishing business contact between job candidates and a company that needs employees is a demanding task for both parties. Candidates have to research vacancies and companies must engage resources to find the right people, perform the selection and establish communication with them. In cases when a company needs one or a few new employees, this task is relatively simple. However, when a significant number of people are needed, the problems are greatly increased. In cases of hiring seasonal workers where many candidates are supposed to be selected, this issue is especially pronounced. Using the Internet to send job invitations to a large number of candidates is not effective as these applicants are usually people with a lower level of education who are not used to Internet communication. Mobile phones are an ideal way of communicating with candidates for such positions. Everyone knows how to send and receive SMS messages while more advanced users know how to browse the Internet, making this an ideal technology for communication between interested parties. The paper analyzes technologies and models of establishing communication between a job candidate and a company that needs workers.

In the last decade, digital evidence in criminal proceedings has become a key tool in modern forensic investigation, with the help of which it is possible to identify, analyze and verify information that can be crucial for making a decision in court proceedings. Digital data, through the perception of various forms of electronic records, are increasingly becoming the basic evidence in criminal cases, and because of this, no distinction is made between existing material evidence and modern digital evidence. In this research, the importance of digital evidence, its advantages and challenges in collection and processing, as well as the legal and ethical aspects of its use in criminal proceedings were pointed out and indicated. The importance of the methodological approach in the forensic analysis of digital evidence was also pointed out, all in order to achieve the admissibility of digital evidence before a criminal court. The challenges and opportunities presented by this evidence are drawn throughout the research and pointed out. The hypothesis of this research is contained in its title and refers precisely to controversial issues and the legislative application of digital evidence in criminal proceedings. The aim of the work is to consider this topic by looking at the new regulation and directive that have been passed and will only be adopted in 2026, but in principle to consider the issue of digital evidence through practice because this topic remains crucial for the further development of the judicial system in the digital age. During the writing of this research, an analytical method was used in order to consider the legislation of the European Union, and make a comparison with the domestic legislation. Then, the normative method was used when considering the criminal procedure and defining digital evidence, and certainly the deductive method was also used.
Digital property: Specific issues in the application of private international law rules
Authors: Stojšić-Dabetić Jelena , Mirković Predrag
Published: January 2025

Digital property emerges as a new segment of property law, while simultaneously being a consequence of the digitalization of financial intermediation and representing a form of technological innovation that substitutes payment services and investments in the banking and stock markets. Key issues that arise include the choice of governing law, internationally competent courts, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign court and arbitration decisions related to transactions in cryptocurrencies, which are the most widespread form of digital assets. This paper is designed to highlight the specific features of digital property that are important for the application of existing private international law (PIL) rules. It does not focus on a specific legal system, but rather situates the analysis within PIL as a branch of legal science with its own regulatory postulates, which are largely harmonized across legal systems. The aim of the paper is to see the scope of the possibility of applying traditional institutes of international private law to digital property as a legal and regulatory novelty that stands between property or things and rights or financial instrument. By synthesizing core issues that emerge in application of private international law rules to digital assets, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of regulatory challenges which encompass digital assets' role in modern law and economies.
The Kosovo Covenant
Authors: Kinđić Zoran
Published: January 2025

One of the most important constituents of Serbian identity is the tradition about the Battle of Kosovo. Relying on Eliade's distinction between the sacred and the profane, the author claims that for the Serbian people Kosovo is a sacred space, St Vitus' Day is a sacred time, and Kosovo's tradition is a sacred text. Thanks to the blood shed by Serbian knights who were martyrs for the defence of the Orthodox faith and the fatherland, the area of Kosovo has been transformed into a sacred space. St Vitus' Day is a perpetual day in Serbian history because on that day Prince Lazar chose the Kingdom of Heaven on behalf on the entire nation of Serbs. The Kosovo Covenant is based on the previous Covenant of Saint Sava. Saint Sava and Saint Simeon the Myroblyte wanted to make Serbs the chosen people. The Kosovo Covenant was conceptualized by Danilo III, shortly after the Battle of Kosovo, whereas folk poetry spread through the Serbian people with that ideology. Thanks to this ideology, the Serbian people, although deprived of its state, succeeded in preserving its own identity.
Anti-fascism as a determinant of Serbian national identity
Authors: Šuvaković Uroš
Published: January 2025

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the elements of Serbian national identity as the Serbs' collective identity. It starts from understanding collective identities in which, apart from the consciousness of WE characterizing them, there is an important characteristic difference between social groups of the same kind, or the relation between WE and THEY. In that respect, it is argued that anti-fascism as a value is the characteristic of Serbian national identity that is insufficiently emphasized. Moreover, we do not determine anti-fascism primarily as an ideological matrix, but as the concretization of the value of libertarianism, about which the largest number of our authors dealing with this topic agree - that it is an element of Serbian national identity. A conclusion is drawn that anti-fascism as an element of Serbian national identity is also complementary with other national-identity characteristics of the Serbian people.

Indonesia has one of the largest tropical peatland areas in the world. In Sumatra Island, peatland is spread over 11 areas and it was mainly found in Riau (60.1%) and South Sumatra (19.6 %) Provinces. This study investigates the subsurface of tropical peatland in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, South Sumatra Province. Data was recorded using Electrical Resistivity  Tomography (ERT) method based on the sub-surface images of tropical peatland. This study was conducted based on dipole-dipole configuration with 72 channels spread. This paper also studies the physical properties (thickness and electrical resistivity) of peatland and its substrate using ERT. In this study the ERT section and the geological map identified Alluvium (Qs), Kasai Formation, and the Basement. Result shows the ERT is applicable for imaging the thickness of tropical peatland and other geological features (Aquifer, geological structures, and stratigraphy). The electrical resistivity of peat varies from 20 ohm meter to 120 ohm meter and the thickness of peat varies from 2–5 meter. In some ERT sections, the basement was identified from 130 meter to 170 meter beneath the surface. The aquifer sweet spots were located from ERT Sections combined with the hydrogeological map. The aquifer was identified in Kasai Formation. The thickness of the aquifer layer is 2–20 meter. These physical properties may support the peatland conservation (forest fire mitigation) and geotechnical analysis purposes.

Forest and land fires are a high source of emissions in South Sumatera. In line with the national policy, South Sumatera Province commits in reducing emission, include emission from the forest and land fire. This research was aimed to assess carbon loss affected by fire in the year of 2015 that covered 3 districts in South Sumatera i.e Musi Banyuasin, Banyuasin, and Musi Rawas. The research was conducted by remeasurement of carbon stocks plots on 4 forests and land type i.e. secondary peat swamp forest, secondary dryland forest, bushes swamp, and forest plantation. Carbon stocks measuring are conducted on sample plots in a rectangular shape of 20 m x 50 m of size for various types of natural forest and a circle shape in the radius of 11.29 cm and 7.98 cm respectively for forest plantation of < 4 years and > 4 years old. Furthermore, carbon stocks in each plot are measured for 3 carbon pools of above-ground biomass, deadwood and litter. The result shows that carbon loss was varying on each forest and land type. The largest number of carbon loss occur on secondary peat swamp forest of 94.2 t/ha that equivalent to the emission of  345.4 t CO2eq. The second largest of carbon loss occur on secondary dryland forest of 36.3 t/ha following by forest plantation and bushes swamp of 18.5 t/ha and 13.5 t/ha.

Eucalyptus saligna tends to develop defects during its drying process, thus limiting its use as construction or furniture material. Intermittent drying, which applies non-heating phases between heating phases, has the potential to overcome this issue. This study evaluated the effects of 3 intermittent and 1 continuous schedule on the species’ drying performance and post-drying qualities. The results showed that the boards from all intermittent schedules exhibit significantly slower drying rates (from -9.4x10-3 /hour to -1.57 x10-2 /hour) than those from the continuous schedule (from -5.12 x10-2 /hour to -1.03 x10-2 /hour). The intermittently-dried boards also developed lower collapse depth (1.162-2.032 mm) than the continuously-dried boards (5.12 mm). Nevertheless, applying higher temperature than that used in the continuous schedule, during the heating phase of the intermittent schedule, potentially increased the moisture gradient, residual drying stress, end check length, internal check percentage, and spring depth.

Community Plantation Forest (HTR) is one among alternatives expected to fulfill the needs of timber.  Limited capital, which is simply known as financial capital, is considered as the main problem in HTR development. However, there is also other capital but less known and understood namely social capital. This study aims to determine the social capital that can be utilized in HTR management. The study was conducted in Rumbia Village, Boalemo District, Gorontalo Province. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive qualitative method in three steps: data reduction, data display and verification. In this study, the social capital is discussed in its dimensions of trust, norm and network. Results of the study show that strengthening social capital in its dimension of trust, norm, and network would encourage independence of both the farmers and forest farmer groups in HTR management. If the social capital does not work properly, gap among farmers could occur and even becomes a barrier or limits in involvement of members of the farmer group in the management of HTR. The farmers had high trust to forestry extension officer. It became a dimension of social capital that should be developed further in HTR management to reach optimally benefits from HTR land. In addition, the farmers also had a high compliance to social norms of traditions, religion and customary rules. The social capital hold by the farmers should be addressed in proper way by local and central government in order to develop successful HTR management.
