This article provides an overview of the methods used in practice to assess the risks that arise in the process of designing automated air traffic control systems. The classification of risks and possible negative consequences of risks are determined. Based on this analysis, it is concluded that in order to increase the success of the design process, risk management tools are needed, including the accumulation of risk management experience for its further use. To achieve this goal, a risk assessment model for the development of automated air traffic control systems based on explicit and implicit expertise, including an analysis of situations in which risk processing is required. With the emergence of fundamentally new automated systems, the problem of risk assessment of design as a strategic direction of automation and intellectualization of relevant processes in various fields of science and technology. Note that in this context, the concept of automated systems includes such concepts as "complex phenomena", "complex technological processes", "complex systems", including the person himself, which is considered as an element responsible for the generation, storage and use of knowledge. The peculiarity of modern automated systems is that they operate in conditions given, as a rule, by a finite set of quantitative and non-quantitative (verbal) variables and corresponding constraints. At the same time, many risk assessment tasks are formed and described both verbally in the professional language of this field of knowledge, and formally using different classes of models. The proposed method of risk assessment of the development of ACS by air traffic is based on production rules, which provides the opportunity to accumulate and use the experience of overcoming the risks of the project, and thus increases the success of the project.

The subject of research in the work is a model of the formation of species images in systems for processing geospatial information. The purpose of the article is to improve the model of formation of species images in systems for processing geospatial information, which will take into account the shortcomings of existing models of formation of species images. The advantages of obtaining and application of geospatial information are given. It has been established that in systems for processing geospatial information for various purposes at different stages, data of various types are processed, however, they are structurally isomorphic - geospatial information structures. To solve the problem of representing heterogeneous software engineering technologies in a unified form, convenient for their integration and coordination within the general cycle of software systems design, the mathematical apparatus of category theory has recently been used. The existing models of the formation of species images in systems for processing geospatial information, their disadvantages and advantages are considered. The considered mathematical model of the formation of a view image in general form can be presented as a result of the action of an operator performing the transformation of coordinates and operators determining the brightness of the corresponding image element for a given element of the earth's surface in the spectral channel. An improved model of the formation of species images is proposed, which simultaneously takes into account the transformation of geospatial coordinates into image coordinates and the transformation of brightness due to the properties of objects on the earth's surface and the processes of the passage of solar radiation in the atmosphere, provides the possibility of correct processing and analysis of species images in geospatial information processing systems.
Usage of characteristic points to reduce the time of performance of SAD metric calculation during video flow compression by motion compensation method
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Dibrivnyy O. A.
Published: July 2021

Today, it is difficult to imagine a video system that does not use compression of the input video stream for transmission or storage, because the uncompressed size of video files can reach several hundred gigabytes. There are many different video stream compression techniques used in various codecs, however, one of the most commonly used is the motion compensation technique, which allows you to transmit video stream frames in the form of compensated inter frame difference, by finding the motion vectors of individual blocks image. Despite the fact that the above-mentioned technique has been used for the last twenty years, it still has two problem-priority places - assessments of the similarity of image blocks and the algorithm for searching blocks. This article focuses on the problem of estimating the similarity of the image, in order to reduce the time of estimating the similarity of the blocks, which in modern algorithms takes from 40 to 80% of the time of the entire process of encoding the video stream. The article considers the usage of metrics for estimating the similarity of images and their importance for the process of motion compensation during video stream compression, such as SSD (standard deviation) and SAD (sum of absolute differences). The temporal contribution of metrics to the video stream encoding process, in particular to the motion compensation process, is estimated. An algorithm combining classical SAD and parameter estimation based on characteristic points is proposed, which will reduce the metric calculation time for estimating block similarity. The reduction of SAD calculation time due to reduction of comparison points is estimated for three proposed comparison templates - HSAD (half SAD), TSAD (third SAD), DSAD (diagonal SAD). For the selected templates, the results of processing the test video sequence were compared with the results obtained during the processing of the video sequence by the classic SAD. The main attention was paid to the assessment of the following parameters: the relative difference SAD, the increase in the number of candidate blocks, the overlap of candidate blocks.

The considered method of program code protection with the use of obfuscation mechanisms allows to confuse the code during development and refactoring. This method protects against decompilation methods that can be applied both manually and automatically. The aim of the study is to develop a method of obfuscating software code to provide protection against decompilation. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are solved: analyzed algorithms of deobfuscation in various practical methods; a new method of obfuscating program code is proposed; submit obfuscated code. The main stages of the proposed approach to obfuscation of programs are formulated: lexical analysis; code destructuring; code obfuscation; obfuscation of variables; obfuscation of constants. Different strategies for the synthesis of obfuscated identifiers are defined: generation of names, consisting of admissible random (pseudo-random) symbols, length from the set interval (fixed length); generating names consisting of a certain number of repeated valid characters, in conditions where the plurality of characters is specified and the specified length of the lengths of the identifiers; mixed strategy with equal choice of strategies 1 and 2. Two optimization problems are formulated: the task of minimizing the number of operations when generating a given set of constants with a fixed set of directly defined constants; the task of minimizing the number of directly defined constants among the options with minimal complexity of formulas. The proposed approach can be used in programs that have a number of routines with the same interface. In this case, regardless of the complexity of implementation, the code of each subroutine can be converted into destructured code. After that, it is possible to calculate the total number of feasible operators, taking into account (operator) output for all routines.

The problem of choosing effective means and methods of monitoring the results of test diagnostics of multifunctional distributed objects is relevant and unresolved today due to the large size, the interaction of many factors and the complexity of the task. The decision of the specified tasks will allow to develop and implement as a part of the corresponding automated information system the formalized device of the description of methods and means of quality control of the managed objects and processes. Evaluating the results of a test diagnosis is a difficult task, as it can be weighed over several stages of diagnosis and using various tools and methods. Therefore, it is important to obtain adequate estimates of atomic diagnostic objects (in the proposed diagnostic model - elementary functions), and then determine the qualitative estimates of their formed components of the types of providing the diagnostic object. To form a quantitative assessment of each level (elementary functions, groups of functions, subsystems and types of support in general), the use of additive integro-differential evaluation criterion (AIDCO), based on the results of test diagnostics of these atomic objects of control. AIDCO's linear format requires an analysis of the impact of each differential assessment (the result of the implementation of a particular test) on the integrated assessment (the degree of performance of elementary functions). At the same time there is a task of the analysis of ways of achievement of desirable (set, limit, etc.) values for achievement of necessary (set) degree of performance of elementary functions. The article proposes general approaches (within the framework of the proposed IDC) to the quantitative evaluation of test diagnosis results in relation to another subject area. Private problems of quantitative evaluation of test results and application of additive integro-differential criterion for evaluation of the degree of performance of elementary functions are also solved.

МУЗИЧНА ІКОНОГРАФІЯ В ДЕКОРІ ЛЬВІВСЬКОЇ АРХІТЕКТУРИ КІНЦЯ XIX – ПОЧАТКУ XX ст.: МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНИЙ АСПЕКТ
Authors: Великанич Софія Романівна
Published: July 2021

Мета статті — створити універсальну методологічну систему для досліджень музичної іконографії в оздобі архітектурних споруд, застосовуючи типологію артефактів. Резюмувати існуючі наукові надбання в даній галузі та, враховуючи особливості вузькоспеціалізованої теми, інтегрувати їх у контекст культурологічного дискурсу. Опираючись на типологію артефактів, як основний інструмент у науково-пошуковому процесі, формується схема дослідження в контексті культурологічного дискурсу. Проводиться огляд існуючих розвідок по даній тематиці, а також акцентується увага на необхідності розвитку музичної іконографії як галузі в українському науковому просторі. Враховуючи той факт, що дана стаття спрямована на створення моделі методології для тем конкретного характеру, зазначимо інструменти, які були задіяні в даному процесі: по- перше, це типологія артефактів за різними критеріями, як ключового чинника організації матеріалу для аналізу; по-друге, визначення показників, які враховуючи історико- культурний контекст, розширять результати типології і дозволять впевнено інтегрувати її в русло культурології як науки. Важливо, що створена методологічна система може стати актуальною для роботи з темами, пов’язаними з кількома мистецькими галузями: музикою, архітектурою, скульптурою, а також у дослідженнях, які вивчають місто як мистецький продукт. Інтегративна природа теми потребує такого ж підходу, тому при виборі методологічних інструментів надважливим є враховувати природу галузей, що поєднуються тією мірою, наскільки це дозволяє професійна компетенція дослідника- культуролога. Наукова новизна полягає у здійсненні спроби створити методологічну систему, актуальну для досліджень, пов’язаних з музичною іконографією в декорі архітектурних споруд. Висновки. Наукова робота з темами, які мають міждисциплінарний характер вимагає детального опрацювання варіантів методологічного інструментарію. У кожному конкретному випадку вибір методів може бути продиктованим нахилом в одне, або інше наукове русло. Саме тому створення методологічної системи для дослідження теми музичної іконографії в декорі архітектури в контексті культурології є необхідним для логічного розгортання наукового пошуку.
ГЛАМУР І МОДА: КУЛЬТУРОЛОГІЧНА РЕФЛЕКСІЯ
Authors: Хлистун Олена Сергіївна
Published: July 2021

Мета статті — систематизувати та проаналізувати напрацювання щодо гламуру, зокрема його зв’язку з модою, фешн-індустрією, з акцентуацією на дисертаціях українських дослідників. Дослідження гламуру можна визначити актуальною практичною проблемою, яку повинне вирішувати суспільство, адже його проникнення в повсякденне життя порушує низку питань, які торкаються традиційного уявлення про красу, тілесність, естетику, мораль тощо. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на загальнонаукових та спеціальних методах наукового пізнання. Принципи неупередженості, об’єктивності та достовірності уможливили всебічний аналіз об’єкта дослідження. Контент-аналіз дав змогу виявити та проаналізувати, а системний метод — систематизувати наявні напрацювання. Методи аналізу та синтезу дали змогу деталізувати основні напрями досліджень моди і гламуру. Наукова новизна. Проаналізовано основні напрями досліджень моди, гламуру та співвідношення цих понять у дисертаційних роботах українських науковців. Висновки. Можна зробити попередні висновки, що у сучасному суспільстві гламур стає своєрідною ідеологією, осучасненим результатом естетизації людиною свого відношення до себе, до інших людей та навколишнього світу. Найчастіше гламур пов’язують з модою, стилем, фешн-індустрією. На пострадянському просторі, зокрема в Україні, зростає наукове зацікавлення питаннями гламуру, моди, фешн-індустрії, проте дисертаційних досліджень вкрай мало. Так, можна зазначити мистецтвознавчі дослідження Р. Безуглої та В. Будяк, філософське — Я. Семко. Побічно гламуру торкаються у своїх дисертаційних роботах філософ В. Крилова та культуролог В. Яромчук. Водночас взаємозв’язок моди й гламуру й досі лишається недостатньо вивченим. Це потребує звернення уваги на окремі публікації, в яких проаналізовані різні аспекти гламуру, моди та фешн-індустрії.
КУЛЬТУРНО-РЕКРЕАЦІЙНА СКЛАДОВА СЕРВІСУ МІСЬКИХ ГОТЕЛЬНО-РЕСТОРАННИХ КОМПЛЕКСІВ
Authors: Олійник Оксана Миколаївна
Published: July 2021

Мета статті — проаналізувати особливості культурно-рекреаційної складової сучасного готельно-ресторанного сервісу. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на інклюзії наукових підходів і методів. Інструментарій культурологічного, соціокультурного і системного підходів використовувався для обґрунтування соціокультурної та рекреаційно- дозвіллєвої складової та аналізу практичного досвіду у сфері готельно-ресторанного сервісу. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає в обґрунтуванні важливості культурно- рекреаційної складової та можливості її задоволення, зокрема на прикладі сервісу готельно-ресторанного комплексу «Hotel SPA» у м. Ворзель. Висновки. Динамічні зміни і розширення інтересів людини вимагають змін соціокультурного середовища, яке своєю чергою детермінує діяльність, потреби, самопочуття, адаптацію і поведінку людини. Сервіс набуває специфічних рис суб’єкт-суб’єктних, проєктуючись в нормативно-ціннісну складову відносин в соціокультурному просторі. Нині значного поширення набуває туризм «вихідного дня», що висуває нові вимоги до сервісу. Сучасна людина потребує і шукає нових вражень та емоцій. Багато в чому вони залежать від вибору локації і створення концепції майбутніх послуг, тому сучасний сервіс починається з вибору місця для забудови готельно- ресторанного комплексу. Прикладом вдалого вирішення концепції культурно-релаксаційної потреби відвідувача і відповідного сучасного сервісу є діяльність комплексу «Hotel SPA» у місті Ворзель. Окрім низки традиційних послуг з організації харчування і проживання, в ньому велика увага приділяється задоволенню культурно-дозвіллєвих і рекреаційно- релаксаційних потреб клієнтів, зокрема маленьких відвідувачів. Отже, в сучасних умовах і в межах міста можна створити комплекс, що відповідатиме всім побажанням людини, яка потребує відновлення фізичних та задоволення психоемоційних потреб.
КУЛЬТУРОЛОГІЧНІ ВИМІРИ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ МЕДІАКУЛЬТУРИ НА ПОСТРАДЯНСЬКОМУ ПРОСТОРІ
Authors: Танська Людмила Вацлавівна
Published: July 2021

Мета статті — визначити культурологічні виміри проблеми функціювання медіакультури як політичної реальності на пострадянському просторі в контексті глобалізаційних процесів. Методологію дослідження становлять теоретико- інтерпретаційні настанови культуротворення щодо визначення специфіки презентації пострадянського простору сучасної культури (холізм як домінанта системи; антихолізм як визначення особистісного статусу медіапродукту). Наукова новизна полягає у розкритті особливостей категорії «політична культура» на пострадянському просторі як цілісності медіапродукту. Висновки. Визначено, що медіакультуру як політичний простір пов’язують з технологічними ознаками самоздійснення процесів, які визначаються владними перетвореннями (досягнення влади, отримання влади, втрата влади), вона також характеризує культуру загалом, є локусом політики. Медіакультура як інтенція владного дискурсу є владою слова, образу, автентичних імперативів поведінки, діяльності, стану. Політика і медіакультура утворюють одне ціле, яке потребує специфікації комунікативного простору. Доведено, що модернізм трансформаційної політики пострадянського простору призводить до його радикалізації, а простір медіа стає орієнтованим на картинки-етикетки іміджів політиків. Ідея екстраполяції західних технологій політичного процесу, як і моделей прискореного розвитку економіки хоча й виглядає спокусою, однак є моделлю архаїзації пострадянського простору. Транзитологія як теорія, що обслуговує транзит культурних та економічних, технологічних цінностей в Україні, лише маркує стан уподібнення західним іміджам і реаліям, які не приносять реальної користі. Цей транзит здається ідеалом, який описується в рубриках сучасного маркетинг-міксу політичних реляцій, зокрема у вимірі моделей трансформації політичних систем незалежних країн. Втім, справжню публічну легітимність він може отримати лише в просторі медіакультури.

BACKGROUND:

Isokinetic evaluation is considered the gold standard in muscle strength measurement due to its sensitivity, intra-dynamometer reproducibility and usefulness in the injury prevention screening and follow up of subjects with musculoskeletal pathologies, neurological disease or after surgical operation. However, can one switch among different isokinetic dynamometers for the purpose of knee muscles evaluation?

OBJECTIVES:

To comprehensively evaluate the compatibility of the isokinetic short concentric and eccentric strength evaluation protocol and of the fatigability resistance evaluation between three different isokinetic devices.

METHODS:

Eighteen recreationally active men underwent three isokinetic knee testing sessions on three different isokinetic devices with 7–10 days of rest between each session. Relative (Pearson’s r product-moment correlation coefficient – PCC) and absolute (standard error of measurement – SEM, Cohen effect sizes (d) and probabilistic inferences – MBI) parameters of reproducibility were determined to assess the inter-dynamometer agreement.

RESULTS:

For the short concentric and eccentric strength evaluation protocol, the extensors in concentric mode and the flexors in eccentric mode can be compared (eventually with transposition formulas provided) between Biodex, Con-Trex and Cybex (almost all PCC [Formula: see text] 0.80). The DCR could be compared between Con-Trex and Cybex and between Biodex and Cybex pairs (eventually with transposition formula provided). For the fatigability resistance evaluation protocol, the total sum can be compared for extensors (eventually with transposition formulas provided) for PM for all dynamometer pairs considered and, in the case of MW, only for Biodex and Con-Trex (PCC [Formula: see text] 0.80).

CONCLUSIONS:

Only some of the parameters derived either from the short concentric and eccentric strength evaluation protocol or the fatigability resistance evaluation protocol may be interchangeable providing transposition formulas are applied. Otherwise, isokinetic findings are largely system-dependent save some specific instances.
A comparative study of RFID adoption patterns in retail
Authors: Kasiri Narges , Erickson G. Scott , Wolfram Gerd
Published: July 2021

Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been viewed as a promising technology for quite some time. Initially developed a couple of decades ago, the technology has been accompanied by predictions of imminent widespread adoption since its beginnings. A majority of retailers and other users are now using or planning to use the technology. This paper employs a combination of the technology-organization-environment (TOE) model and the 3-S (substitution, scale, structural) model to analyze the long journey of RFID adoption in retail. Top retail executives in the US and Europe were interviewed to investigate RFID adoption patterns based on differences in technological, organizational, and environmental circumstances. As the retail industry is moving into a post-adoption era, these results demonstrate the current stage of retail RFID adoption, identify factors playing important roles over time as motivators or impediments, and provide some insight into the slow pace of adoption.
Influence of seat lumbar support adjustment on muscle fatigue under whole body vibration: An in vivo experimental study
Authors: Guo Li-Xin , Dong Rui-Chun , Yuan Sheng , Feng Qing-Zhi , Fan Wei
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND: In order to alleviate muscle fatigue and improve ride comfort, many published studies aimed to improve the seat environment or optimize seating posture. However, the effect of lumbar support on the lumbar muscle of seated subjects under whole body vibration is still unclear. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of lumbar support magnitude of the seat on lumbar muscle fatigue relief under whole body vibration. METHODS: Twenty healthy volunteers without low back pain participated in the experiment. By measuring surface electromyographic signals of erector spinae muscles under vibration or non-vibration for 30 minutes, the effect of different lumbar support conditions on muscle fatigue was analyzed. The magnitude of lumbar support d is assigned as d1= 0 mm, d2= 20 mm and d3= 40 mm for no support, small support and large support, respectively. RESULTS: The results showed that lumbar muscle activation levels vary under different support conditions. For the small support case (d2= 20 mm), the muscle activation level under vibration and no-vibration was the minimum, 42.3% and 77.7% of that under no support (d1= 0 mm). For all support conditions, the muscle activation level under vibration is higher than that under no-vibration. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that the small support yields the minimum muscle contraction (low muscle contraction intensity) under vibration, which is more helpful for relieving lumbar muscle fatigue than no support or large support cases. Therefore, an appropriate lumbar support of seats is necessary for alleviating lumbar muscle fatigue.
Methods to Test the “Dimming Effect” Produced by a Decrease in the Number of Photons Received from Receding Light Sources
Authors:   Shiny World Corporation, Concord, L4K 0C0, Canada., Zilberman Mark
Published: July 2021

The hypothetical “Dimming effect” describes the change of the number of photons arriving from a receding light source per unit of time. In non-relativistic systems,the "Dimming effect" occurs due to the fact that as light sources move away, the distance between the emitter and the receiver constantly increases, and the photons always take longer to reach the receiver. This reduces the number of photons received per time unit compared to the number of emitted photons per time unit. Negligible for speeds incomparable with the speed of light c, the "Dimming effect" can be very significant for speeds above 0.1c. “Dimming effect” can possibly be tested in a physics labor-atory using a moving light source (or mirror) and photon counters located in the travel direction and in opposite direction. It can possibly also be tested utilizing the orbital movement of the Earth around the Sun. If confirmed, “Dimming effect” would allow astronomers to adjust values of the "Standard Candles", which are critical in cosmological models. Absence of “Dimming effect” will mean that the number of photons arriving per time unit does not depend on the relative speed of light source and observer,which is not so apparent

Economics of Improved Reproductive Performance in Dairy Cattle
Authors: De Vries Albert , Van Leeuwen Jessika , Thatcher William W.
Published: July 2021

This fact sheet provides some estimates of the economic benefits of improved reproductive performance through increasing pregnancy rates in dairy herds. After a short literature review, the fact sheet focuses on estimates under conditions in Florida. At the herd level, the economic value of an improvement in pregnancy rate and the cost of an additional day open are estimated. This is done for both an overall increase of pregnancy rate and an increase of first service pregnancy rate. In addition, the fact sheet presents some estimates of the maximum that can be spent on a reproductive program to obtain increases in first service pregnancy rates. At the cow level, the values of a new or established pregnancy are discussed. Results show the maximum that can be spent to get specific cows pregnant. This document is AN156, one of a series of the Department of Animal Sciences, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Being an Involved Father: What Does It Mean?
Authors: Evans Garret D. , Fogarty Kate
Published: July 2021

It seems that more and more folks are sharing the message that fathers should be more involved in caring for their children. You may hear this message on TV, on the radio, where you worship, at school, at meetings, at work, and, especially, at home. Father involvement is defined as, men's “positive, wide-ranging, and active participation in their children's lives” (Marsiglio et al., 2000, p. 276). This document is FCS2141, one of a series of the Family, Youth, and Community Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
