Екологічний стан агроекосистем та здоров’я ґрунту визначається рівнем його біологічної активності. Одним з основних елементів біологізації сучасного землеробства є застосування біодобрив, основу яких складають живі культури і продукти метаболізму мікроорганізмів. Мета досліджень полягала у оцінці біорізноманіття мікробного комплексу та біологічної активності дерново-підзолистого ґрунту за застосування біодеструктору Екостерн в органічній технології вирощування картоплі в умовах Західного Полісся. В роботі використовували лабораторні, математико-статистичні методи, числовий індекс активності та біорізноманітності ґрунтових мікроорганізмів розраховували з використанням технології Biotrex. Було встановлено, що застосування біодеструктора Екостерн сприяло зростанню індексу екофізіологічного біорізноманіття, що позитивно сприятиме процесам керованої деструкції органічних решток, гумусотворенню, збільшенню доступності поживних речовин у ґрунті. Рівень показника був в діапазоні від очікуваного до високого біорізноманіття. Біодеструктор Екостерн мав позитивний вплив на чисельність вільноживучих діазотрофів, які здатні фіксувати атмосферний азот на 41-192%, педотрофів на 72-181% і мікроорганізмів, які використовують органічні форми азоту на 16-36%. Показник біологічної активності ґрунтових мікроорганізмів та загальна кількість бактерій у фазу сходів на 30% знижувалась, що може пояснюватися зменшенням активності патогенних мікроорганізмів за впливу біодеструктора.

Біодеструктор Екостерн є класичним заходом для стимулювання біорізноманіття та пригнічення розвитку патогенів за органічної технології вирощування картоплі на дерново-підзолистих ґрунтах в умовах Західного Полісся. Перспективним напрямом дослідження є подальший розвиток використання біостимуляторів позакоренево для підвищення біологічної активності грунту і продуктивності картоплі.

Los poliuretanos convencionales son los plásticos con mayor demanda en el mundo, se fabrican a partir de derivados del petróleo que es un recurso no renovable y contribuye a la contaminación ambiental. Sin embargo, los biopoliuretanos se producen a partir de fuentes renovables, como aceites vegetales o azúcares derivados de plantas, ayudan a reducir la dependencia de los combustibles fósiles y disminuyen la huella de carbono. La síntesis de biopoliuretanos permite ajustar las propiedades de los materiales finales para adaptarse a diferentes aplicaciones como la industria automotriz, la construcción, la fabricación de muebles y la industria textil. Pueden variar en términos de resistencia, elasticidad, rigidez y capacidad de carga. Estas características dependen de la estructura química y concentración del poliol y diisocianato con el que se producen. En este trabajo se describe la síntesis de poliuretanos utilizando poliol proveniente de grasa avícola y diisocianato de isoforona y el efecto de la relación poliol/isocianato (OH/NCO) en las propiedades fisicoquímicas de los poliuretanos obtenidos. En los espectros de infrarrojo (FTIR) se observó la presencia de la banda 3350 cm-1 que corresponde al enlace -NH y la ausencia del estiramiento del grupo isocianato (NCO) a 2270 cm-1, lo que indica que todos los grupos isocianato reaccionaron durante la polimerización. Se evaluaron poliuretanos generados con relaciones molares poliol/isocianato (OH/NCO) 1:3, 1:4 y 1:5 observándose que a mayor relación molar aumenta la rigidez y la resistencia a la compresión del biopoliuretano, probablemente por la mayor formación de entrecruzamientos.

The work presents the results of research on worm viruses and methods of their detection. Malware distribution happens all the time. The analyzed modern tools and systems for prevention, detection and countermeasures against malicious software and computer attacks are quite effective, provide a high percentage of detection and function at an adequate level. But criminals constantly study the capabilities of such tools and systems, improve malicious software and computer attacks, and achieve certain results. Therefore, developers of tools and systems for prevention, detection and countermeasures against malicious software and computer attacks must constantly improve them. The protection of corporate networks is relevant. They can be effectively configured to increase computing resources when solving the tasks of warning, detecting and countering malicious software and computer attacks to protect corporate networks. Therefore, the article defines as an urgent scientific task - the development of methods to improve the efficiency of the functioning of distributed systems with partial centralization for detection of malicious software and computer attacks in computer networks and detection of malicious software with their use due to the synthesis of their architecture in such a way that the principles of functioning of such systems make it difficult for criminals to understand them.
The work considers a set of worm viruses, which covers network features as much as possible. Therefore, to study the effectiveness of methods of creating distributed systems and the systems themselves based on them, worm viruses were considered.
The purpose of the work is to develop a method for detecting worm viruses in corporate networks.
The work developed a method of detecting worm viruses using their division into classes based on common features and defined criteria according to the classification of objects according to many classes and taking into account its implementation in the architecture of partially centralized distributed systems to obtain a complete sensor and make a decision regarding the classification of worms virus to a certain class. This improved the reliability of detection by 8-11% compared to using the method without directly involving the elements and components of the system. As a result of setting up experiments and conducting them, results were obtained that confirm the correct functioning of a partially centralized distributed system for the detection of worm viruses.

The problems of the research presented in the work relate to mathematical modeling in order to reflect the relationship between the main characteristic of the process and the factors that affect it, as well as the dynamics of the main characteristic of the process, which is determined by the acidity of the substrate in the bioreactor. To build mathematical models of both types, it is proposed to use the methods of parametric and structural identification of models of static objects and discrete models of object dynamics based on the analysis of interval data.
An universal approach based on metaheuristic optimization algorithms is proposed and substantiated for the identification of both types of models. These methods, in turn, use mechanisms of self-organization and self-adaptation in the process of finding an optimal or quasi-optimal solution. In particular, the work uses computational algorithms built on the basis of artificial bee colony algorithms. The method is implemented using data presented in interval form. The proposed universal method was tested on the construction of a mathematical model that reflects the dependence between the pH of the fermentation medium and the volume of the loaded bio-raw material in the form of its dry and liquid parts, the temperature in the bioreactor and the humidity of the dry part of the bio-raw material. Another mathematical model built in the work reflects the dynamics of the acidity indicator pH of the fermentation medium depending on the ratio of the mass of the loaded dry bio-raw material to the volume of the loaded liquid bio-raw material Both obtained interval mathematical models can be applied to control processes in biogas plants.

The EU’s Capacity for Enlargement: Does It Matter?
Authors: Gabrisch Hubert
Published: March 2024

I examine the so far only vaguely defined concept of the capacity to absorb new members, known as the fourth Copenhagen criterion of the European Union (EU), in terms of its reasonability. Methodologically, the political-economic elements of this capacity to enlarge are analyzed with a model for a confederation of states that represents the trade-off between the economic benefits of size and the costs of heterogeneity of the population’s preferences in case of enlargement. The analysis shows that the political concept of "enlargement capacity" contains rational elements and is therefore relevant. The model is used to assess not only the politics and empirics of previous EU enlargements, but also the upcoming enlargement rounds with Ukraine, Moldova and the Western Balkan states. The presently intensive discussion about reforms to the EU architecture and policies, also triggered by the challenges posed by these future enlargements, can likewise be considered in terms of the trade-off between benefits of size and the costs of heterogeneity.

Authors: Rana Dr.Sharif Uddin Ahmed
Published: March 2024

The financial risk management mechanism of enterprises can be more complete through exploration in the application effect of data mining technology combined with K-means clustering algorithm in enterprise risk audit. Hence, K-means clustering algorithm is introduced to study the paperless status of electronic payment in the trading process of e-commerce enterprises. Additionally, a risk audit model of e-commerce enterprises is implemented based on K-means algorithm combined with Random Forest Light Gradient Boosting Machine (RF-LightGBM). In this model, the actual operation process of data preparation, data preprocessing, model construction, model application and evaluation are implemented to study the payment flow in the transaction process of e-commerce enterprises by using big data analysis technology. Eventually, the performance of the model is evaluated by simulation. The results show that, compared with the models and algorithms proposed by scholars in other related fields, the classification accuracy of the model proposed here reaches 95.46 %. Simultaneously, the data message delivery rate of the model algorithm is basically stable at about 81.54 %, and the data message leakage rate, packet loss rate and average delay are lower than those of other models and algorithms. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring the prediction accuracy, the audit model of e-commerce enterprises can also achieve high data transmission security performance, which can provide experimental basis for the safety improvement and risk control of the audit process in e-commerce enterprises.
Effect of Organisational Factors on Intrapreneurial Behaviour of Public University Academicians in Malaysia

Published: March 2024

Academics in Malaysia have been working hard in recent years to move towards a more innovative and intrapreneurial culture with the support of the government. The aim of this study is to particularly look at the organisational factors that influence their intrapreneurial behaviour, as it is thought that organisational factors may have some effects on their intrapreneurial behaviour. It is also argued that a good environment and support from an academic institution will not be enough if an academician does not have intrapreneurial attributes. Alternatively, an academician with adequate intrapreneurial attitude may be demotivated to innovate in respective research and teaching activities, if his/her institution does not provide adequate support. An online survey questionnaire was circulated to 4 universities in the southern region of Malaysia from where 250 respondents took part in the survey. It was found that all four organizational factors considered in this study have a significant effect on intrapreneurial behaviour. The mediating role of gender was also sought. It was found that recognition of intrapreneurial activity does not show a significant effect on the intrapreneurial behaviour of academicians in the presence of gender. However, the other three variables (managerial support, flexible organisational structure, and favourable organisational culture) show significant effect on intrapreneurial behaviour while gender acts as a mediating variable.
Reification, Curry-Howard Correspondence, and Didactical Consequences
Authors: Oldenburg Reinhard
Published: March 2024

The roles of languages, processes, and objects in mathematical thinking have led to many theories, yet no consistent big picture has evolved from this. This paper puts forth the hypothesis that the Curry-Howard correspondence from computer science and the theories it is built on provide a unification framework. This correspondence asserts that (formal) proofs and programs (in functional programming languages) do not only have some similarities, but can, at least if formalized in an appropriate way, be mapped to each other by an isomorphism such that proofs are programs and vice versa. Moreover, objects can be realized as function evaluation strategies, and this provides a model of the reification process. The paper explores all this and discusses the didactical relevance; especially, the reification theories are revisited. Computer-based realizations of concepts are used as a tool to show the consistency of ideas and the practicability of concepts.

Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) are a group of conditions that approximately one in three women will experience in their lifetime. Medical doctors and Physical Therapists (PTs) create standards and guidelines that female patients undergoing rehabilitation use. The Department of Health (DOH) has yet to release thorough guidelines for treating and managing PFDs. Moreover, novel studies about different treatments have also caused a need for more knowledge about PFDs in the country. This qualitative descriptive study aims to explore the experiences of PTs in assessing and managing women with PFDs. It will use purposive and snowball sampling to recruit PTs who have managed PFDs and have at least two years of working experience in rehabilitation centers in Metro Manila. The researchers will conduct in-depth, semi-structured individual interviews using an interview guide approved by a women’s health PT. The question development will use established international and local guidelines discussing PFD assessment and management. The researchers will also provide informed consent forms that will discuss the nature and purpose of the study with the participants. There will be a pilot study to finalize the questions before the primary interview. Finalized transcription will undergo coding analysis using the Taguette online software, and codes and themes will be used to interpret and analyze data through thematic analysis.

The aim of the study was to research changes in the daily routine and learning of schoolchildren during the war and their association with mental health. Materials and methods: A study of daily routines and mental health of schoolchildren in Kyiv was conducted using an online questionnaire. Informed consent was obtained from parents. For analyzing 1417 questionnaires were selected (743 boys, 674 girls). The study of responses to the questionnaires made it possible to determine the weekly duration of physical activity (PA) of light (LPA) and moderate and high-intensity physical activity (MVPA), the duration of sedentary activity (SB) and sleep, as well as to determine the gradation of anxiety-depressive indicators and signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The formats of the learning process were evaluated (full-time, distance, mixed). The data obtained were also compared with the data at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Statistical methods of data obtained were used. Results: The study showed that during the war, Kyiv schoolchildren’s daily routine and level of physical activity changed. In the spring of 2023, (47.0±1.4)% of Kyiv schoolchildren had full-time learning, (19.3±1.1)% - in distance learning, (32.9±1.3_% - in mixed learning, in contrast to 2022, when children learned mainly in a distance format. In 2023, there was a 6.4% decrease in sleep duration compared to 2022. Additionally, there was a 19.2% increase in total physical activity due to LPA, while conversely, there was a 17.7% decrease in MVPA. In 2022, 23.1% of school-age children had the optimal level of MVPA (60 min/day), while in 2023, this percentage decreased to 11.3% (p<0.001). The proportion of children with anxiety, depression indicators and PTSD in 2023 was 10.5%, 26.4%, and 13.9%, respectively. In the presence of signs of depression and/or anxiety, schoolchildren demonstrated a decrease in all types of physical activity, a reduction in sleep duration, and, conversely, an increase of SB. Conclusions: Further research is needed to study the impact of lifestyle on the mental health of schoolchildren during the war, given the decreased duration of MVPA in Kyiv schoolchildren against the background of increased level of depression indicators. This will enable the identification of at-risk groups and the implementation of comprehensive measures to assist children in adapting during humanitarian emergencies.

Research methods included statistical evaluation of factual and analytical material. The results: The analysis of trends in the prevalence and incidence of foodborne diseases in children in different age periods during 2000-2017 determines important features of the dynamics of these indicators in different age groups. The total share of alimentary diseases in the total structure of diseases is 9.88-10.00% at the age of 0-14 years old and 17.98% at the age of 15-17 years old. The general analysis shows a trend towards a decrease in the prevalence and incidence of food borne diseases among children of certain age groups over the course of 18 years. This especially applies to diseases of blood organs and the endocrine system. In the group of children aged 0-6 years old, there is an intense decrease in the registration of primary forms of diseases. At the age of 7-14 years old, during 2000-2017, there is an intensive decrease in the incidence and prevalence of diseases of the endocrine system and digestive organs, and at the age of 15-17 years old, there is a significant increase in growth and growth rates according to most indicators. Conclusions: the age-specific features of food-dependent pathology of the children's population, spatial-temporal trends in national and regional sections are determined. The need for further research and monitoring in order to form a policy for the management of food-dependent pathology is shown.

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of this type of visual load on children's organism on the basis of the dynamics of changes in the functional state of primary school pupils while working with textbooks provided by the educational environment «New Ukrainian School» Materials and methods: Physiological and ophthalmological, which are used in hygienic practice for donosological diagnostics. Statistical processing was performed using Statistica 6.0 (StatSoft, USA). Results: The study involved 87 primary school pupils aged 6-9 years old. The influence of visual load on the state of children's visual and nervous systems was studied in the conditions of a full-scale experiment. It has been determined that the process of working with textbooks provided by the New Ukrainian School educational environment, both in the language and literary field of education and in mathematics, causes functional shifts in the state of the visual analyser - accommodation spasm and visual fatigue in both eyes in more than 20% of children. The dynamics of the nervous system lability index revealed the development of fatigue in 52.0% of boys and 57.2% of girls when working with humanities textbooks, and in 74.1% of boys and 33.3% of girls when working with mathematics textbooks. In the process of working with both types of textbooks, there was an increase in the time of visual-motor reaction with a simultaneous decrease in the number of accurate answers in almost a third of pupils. Conclusions: It has been established that under the influence of visual load in the form of work with textbooks there is a temporary visual adaptation of the myopic type. It has been proved that the process of working with textbooks causes functional overload of the nervous system in almost half of children, as indicated by the negative dynamics of its lability, mobility and balance. The regularities of functional shifts in the body of children depending on their gender are revealed.

En Chile, la existencia de una gran cantidad de pasivos ambientales mineros (PAM) —que son aquellas instalaciones, efluentes, emisiones, restos o depósitos de residuos que se generaron en el pasado por el cierre inadecuado o el abandono de faenas mineras— constituye un riesgo potencial para la salud de las poblaciones y los ecosistemas y, a pesar de que el país es el principal productor de cobre a nivel mundial, no cuenta con una legislación específica para abordar los efectos producidos por estos. Este libro aborda el problema de los pasivos ambientales mineros en Chile, sistematiza la información existente y brinda evidencias de la necesidad de avanzar hacia una política pública integral sobre la temática a la vez que propone recomendaciones para llevarlo a cabo. En el escenario de transición energética, que proyecta que la producción de cobre se incremente significativamente en los próximos años y con ello aumente la generación de desechos mineros, hoy resulta clave conocer los PAM y comprender sus impactos a nivel social.

The rapid development of information and communication technology is currently able to encourage the growth of business activities to enter the creative economy era, which will be very elastic and dynamic in facing the challenges of globalization and modernization. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature study method. The results of the analysis state that the creative economy is a form of effort to find a formula for sustainable development through ideas and creativity. The creative business in Indonesia contributes 3% to the world's GDP. Therefore, it is clear that this area of the economy is booming because of the rise of digitization and the improvement of service delivery. Digitalization has bolstered this by creating more employment openings, but labor impermanence is still not an issue in the creative sector. The presence of a creative economy aids in reducing poverty and increasing economic levels. The development of information and communication technology contributes to and encourages the growth of the creative economy, which can be used as a solution to social welfare because the creative economic system provides added value both to the industry itself and to existing resources. The creative economy is an alternative solution to the welfare of society by improving the economy to become competitive.
ENHANCING FLIPPED LEARNING: A COMPREHENSIVE METHODOLOGY FOR INTERGRATING ASYNCHRONOUS AND SYNCHRONOUS INTERACTION
Authors: Melnyk Alla
Published: March 2024

This article delves into effective flipped learning strategies for the training of future foreign language teachers, with a focus on developing their professionally oriented communicative competence. A methodological approach integrating asynchronous and synchronous interactions is proposed, highlighting the importance of independent learning activities, which are complemented by synchronous support to enhance engagement. This approach, underpinned by scientific literature, suggests that the evolution of asynchronous learning should strengthen the flipped learning methodology. It projects asynchronous -synchronous interaction as a special type of asynchronous mode. In this mode, the independent (asynchronous) component is primary, and the collaborative (synchronous) component is secondary. This structure emphasizes students’ independent learning activities. Synchronous interactions provide additional support in cooperation. The article advocates for a balanced use of both delayed (asynchronous) and quasi-instant (synchronous) communication, the latter being quicker than traditional delayed methods but not as immediate as real-time interactions.The study maintains that integrating and incorporating synchronous aspects into asynchronous learning activities enhances the core essence of flipped learning. It outlines four specific principles for the effective application of asynchronous-synchronous techniques. They are: consistent integration, making the best use of technology tools, feedback loop, combining communication methods. Drawing on previous research and the author’s personal teaching experience at the Faculty of Philology of Educational Technologies, Kyiv National Linguistic University, Ukraine, the impact of these methods on the education of students studying at the second (master’s) level has been examined. Survey results have indicated a significant positive effect (70% to 90%) of blended learning and the flipped learning model on students’ professional growth and overall satisfaction with their education. Additionally, the article presents examples of exercises (preparatory stage of flipped learning) designed to develop English-language professionally oriented speech competence in master’s students, along with online resources for their implementation in a blended learning format.

Early detection of gastric cancer through a Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) system has the potential to significantly reduce the mortality rate associated with this disease. This study aims to investigate the effects of class imbalance on the performance of machine learning classifiers in this context. Using a dataset of 145,787 screening records from NHS Liverpool Hospital, we employed stratified sampling to create balanced and unbalanced datasets and evaluated the performance of four machine learning algorithms—Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes, and Multilayer Perceptron—under five different test conditions. The study’s novelty lies in its detailed examination of class imbalance in gastric cancer diagnosis, emphasizing the crucial role of balanced datasets in machine learning-based early detection systems. For the MLP model under 10-fold cross-validation, the Class 0 sensitivity (non-cancer cases) of the unbalanced dataset was 0.968, higher than the balanced dataset’s 0.902. However, the Class 1 sensitivity (cancer cases) and Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of the unbalanced dataset were much lower (0.383 and 0.527) than those of the balanced dataset (0.959 and 0.907), indicating a significant improvement in identifying true positive cases when using a balanced dataset. These findings highlight the negative effect of class imbalance on prediction accuracy for positive cancer cases and underscore the importance of addressing this imbalance for more reliable and accurate predictions in medical diagnosis and screening. This approach has the potential to improve patient outcomes and may contribute to strategies aimed at reducing the mortality rate associated with gastric cancer.

This paper focuses on the application and business value of large-scale language models, such as GPT and Ernie’s model. These models combined with AIGC tools like stable diffusion generate images with fixed styles, character traits, and continuous plots using randomized story scripts. As a result, it enhances the operational efficiency between or within industries widely, and it fully demonstrate their business value. On the technical side, this paper describes in detail of building a pipeline to generate cue words required for stable diffusion, in which using large-scale language models and story scripts. Subsequently, the limitations of text-to-image are summarized by comparing the traditional method and language model, i.e. comparing characteristics from traditional book production and images generated using language model’s cue words. This leads to a supervised multiround iterative LoRA modeling scheme that utilizes CLIP to achieve character IP fixation. To evaluate the impact of the application direction, we combine application scenarios and researches on application aspects regarding current AIGC industry structure, we found that the AIGC tool has several major aspects, mainly includes the aspects of basic big model, industry and scenario models, business and domain small models, AI infrastructure and AIGC supporting services. big model and AIGC techniques generate images with no specific rules and have less limitation. We call this ‘visualization’ in the new AI era. In this paper, we explore the possible impacts and economic values when changing from traditional domain to the new AI ear.
