Pinned point configurations and Hausdorff dimension
Authors:   University of Rochester, Iosevich A. , Mkrtchyan S. ,   University of Rochester, Shen T. ,   University of Rochester
Published: March 2023

We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact subset E of Rd with d≥2 is sufficiently large, and if G is a star-like graph with two parts, and each of its parts is arigid graph, then the Lebesgue measure in the appropriate dimension, of the set of distances in E specified by the graph is positive. We also prove that ifdimH(E)is sufficiently large, then∫νG(r~t)dνG(~t)>0,whereνGis the measure on the space of distances specified by G which is induced by a Frostman measure. In particular, this means that for any r>0 there exist many configurations encoded by ~t with vertices in E such that the vertices of r~t are also in E.
Trees of Dot Products in Thin Subsets of Rd
Authors:   University of California, Nadjimzadah A.
Published: March 2023

A. Iosevich and K. Taylor showed that compact subsets of Rd with Hausdorff dimension greater than (d+1)/2 contain trees with gaps in an open interval. Under the same dimensional threshold, we prove the analogous result where distance is replaced by the dot product. We additionally show that the gaps of embedded trees of dot products are prevalentin a set of positive Lebesgue measure, and for Ahlfors-David regular sets, the number of treeswith given gaps agrees with the regular value theorem.

Digitalization in the economy plays a vital role in the economic growth of the country, without which it is impossible to achieve technological innovation. From the point of view of public administration, this study focuses on the implications of policy development related to the digital economy, technological innovation in the modern realities of globalization. The digital economy in the form of economic automation and artificial intelligence can help transform the economic structure and business performance. Digitalization in the economy can change business dynamics, institutional quality and organizational structures of countries, as the cost of innovation is significantly high, and there is a high financial risk. Digitization of finances in the form of digital technologies allows to significantly increase the possibilities of data analysis and, accordingly, to increase the reliability of planning, monitoring and evaluation of programs. So, if today data analysis when evaluating results is most often reduced to comparing planned and actual values of indicators, assessing the degree of implementation of measures and reaching control points, then the use of "big data" and artificial intelligence allows assessing the impact of the implementation of state programs and their individual measures on various targets groups, establish cause-and-effect relationships between the management decisions made and the results achieved. The need for further strategic steps was noted: ensuring the provision of worldclass digital services and the complete transformation of administrative processes and procedures in order to increase their efficiency; improvement of tools and processes that allow to increase the effectiveness of civil servants, including the use of new management methods; expanding the use of data – not only for the purpose of ensuring transparency, but also for the purpose of supporting digital transformation in authorities and the private sector; creation, support and expansion of the use of common platforms and opportunities to accelerate transformation, including the use of common templates, components, establishment of open standards.

Authors:   National Technical University ", Nosyriev Oleksandr ,   Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute"
Published: March 2023

The problem of maintaining the effectiveness of industrial policy is one of the most important not only in Ukraine, but also in most countries of the world. It is emphasized that the development of structural and fundamental factors should focus on the formation of promising competitive advantages based on knowledge and technologies, which will allow changing the structure of the national economy, overcoming its technological backwardness. Such branches of industry as machine building, iron ore and metallurgical industry, chemical and pharmaceutical industry, as well as a modern and powerful military-industrial complex should become strategically important for the national economy in the post-war period. It is emphasized that mechanical engineering in industrial policy needs special attention from the state, as this branch is a powerful moderator of the development of the entire economy of the country, creates a long economic chain of added value. The concept of smart specialization is relevant for implementation, which has an economic basis with a focus on regions through the identification of factors that can influence economic, scientific, and technological specialization within the framework of regional policy or within the framework of their impact on the mechanism of productivity, competitiveness, and economic growth. The problems of Donetsk and Luhansk regions – a region that needs modernization based on an innovative development model, sustainable development of territorial communities, stimulation of entrepreneurial activity, and strengthening of interregional ties – are considered. The reconstruction program should also focus on the restoration of industrial production with the mass introduction of new technologies and provide for the use of special tools for the restoration and modernization of industry, as a key area for generating the flow of income and increasing the employment of the population. Also, for a country that is rebuilding after the war, it is important to monitor and control financial flows aimed at the development of industry, in order to avoid the concentration of funds in the hands of one corporation or firm that will only care about its own profits.

Islamic Courts indeed have some sense of the terminology in the law. The terminology can be called by al-Qada 'al-adl / al-qist, al-hukm, al-iffa', and al-ijtihad. In this case, there are differences in the terms used in discussing and establishing a law. Because of differences all settings are based on existing ahwal and when it happens. The scope of the al-Qada 'is related to the implementation of syariah law in a particular case, which is intended for the realization of peace and well-being of the flesh. Formally, it was done by someone who is authorized to carry out these tasks in a particular area. The decision authorized person is obligated, with the meaning of words must be followed by those who stuck with what was decided that. The objective here is opposed to the wicked. People who transgress his testimony can not be accepted. Al-Hukm (plural al-Ahkam) is etymologically synonymous with al-Bukhari, al-fiqh, al-Qada 'bi al-'adl. Al-Hukm also means arrested. Ijtihad is an ability to exert maximum effort to achieve something.Peradilan Islam sesungguhnya memiliki beberapa peristilahan dalam  mengertikan hukum. Peristilahan itu bisa disebut dengan al-qada', al-adl/al-qist, al-hukm, al-iffa', dan al-ijtihad. Dalam hal ini ternyata terdapat perbedaan istilah yang dipakai dalam membahas dan menetapkan sesuatu hukum. Karena adanya perbedaan kasus-kasus itu. Semua penetapan itu didasarkan kepada  ahwal yang ada  dan terjadi ketika itu.Ruang lingkup al-qada' adalah menyangkut pelaksanaan hukum syara' dalam suatu kasus tertentu, yang bertujuan agar terwujudnya ketentraman dan kemaslahatan hidup duniawi. Secara formal hal itu dilakukan oleh seseorang yang diberi wewenang untuk melaksanakan tugas tersebut dalam wilayah tertentu. Keputusan orang yang berwenang tersebut sifatnya mengikat, dengan arti kata wajib dipatuhi oleh orang yang tersangkut dengan perkara yang diputuskan itu. Adil di sini merupakan lawan dari fasiq. Orang yang fasiq tidak dapat diterima kesaksiannya. Al-Hukm (jamaknya al-ahkam) secara etimologi sinonim dengan al-'ilm, al-fiqh, al-qada' bi al-'adl. Al-Hukm juga bearti menahan. Ijtihad adalah mengerahkan suatu kemampuan secara maksimal untuk mencapai sesuatu.

The main vectors of changes in local budgets in the context of budget decentralization and martial law
Authors: Hrubliak Oksana
Published: March 2023

Implementation of regional problems of socio-economic development of territories depends on the efficiency of local authorities. An important factor in the implementation of these programs is the sufficiency of their own financial resources at their disposal. This problem had to be overcome by the reform of budget decentralization, according to which each local authority should provide a decent level of primary and basic public services for the population. Russian military aggression added even more problems to local communities: causing mass migration and stopping business, the need to solve humanitarian, communal, migration problems, and rebuild destroyed housing. In 2015–2022, the structure of local budget revenues changed: the share of transfers in revenues and the share of subventions in the total amount of transfers decreased. This was influenced by the following factors: changes in the payment of a single tax, personal income tax deductions to local budgets, cancellation of medical and some social subsidies, cancellation of transfer of reverse subsidy. Factors that influenced the structure of the revenue base of local budgets also affected their spending part. The change in the composition of interbudgetary transfers is directly related to the reduction of spending powers of local authorities and the change in the mechanism of financing budget programs in the field of education, health care, social protection and social security. However, the decrease in the share of local budget expenditures on the social sphere occurred at a slower pace than the decrease in the amount of subventions to local budgets for these purposes. This indicates the growing role of local budgets in financing programs of local importance and is a positive result of the budget decentralization reform. The full-scale war of 2022 showed how financially stable local authorities are and whether they are able to withstand any changes in the financing of their powers with dignity. After all, the local government, in addition to continuing to provide public services at a high level, has taken on additional responsibilities: ensuring territorial defense activities, assisting the Armed Forces, supporting relocated businesses, assisting internally displaced persons, preparing shelters, etc. Of course, such opportunities were influenced by the reform of budget decentralization, which enabled local authorities to obtain their own sources of financial resources, which played a key role in facing challenges.
Impact of the trade war between the USA and China on the development of foreign trade in the Asian region
Authors: Don Olha , Bеliaiev Yehor
Published: March 2023

The article presents and analyzes the dynamics of foreign trade indicators between the US and China for the period 2000–2021 (exports, imports, the share of China and ASEAN countries in US imports, the share of telecommunications equipment in US imports). It is established that in the USA and China, but especially in the USA, it is politics and not economic interests that dominate the development of bilateral relations. It is noted that ASEAN countries are very sensitive to changes in the trade of the Asia-Pacific region, and Southeast Asia has a long the history of trade «shocks». It is established that the trade war has led to significant losses for both economies, the consequences of the US-China bilateral trade dispute take several forms, trade tensions between the US and China persist, and its impact extends beyond the current period. It has been determined that Vietnam is best positioned to benefit from trade and investment. China's new industrial policy is expected to increase the substitution of domestic for imported inputs in the manufacturing supply chain, a move that will hurt ASEAN parts and component exporters such as Thailand and Malaysia. The China-American trade dispute has completely changed the ecology of international trade. Now the threat of tariffs has become a bargaining tool for business and broader goals. Even if China and the United States finally reach a trade deal, at least some of the additional tariff measures imposed by Washington on imports from the mainland are estimated to remain in place for a long time. In fact, even if the United States agrees to remove the tariffs now, and if there are problems in the future with the implementation of the agreements reached by the two sides, there is no guarantee that the same tactics will not be repeated. Since the Belt and Road Initiative is recognized and implemented in more and more countries, China may already to some extent overestimate the importance of economic and trade relations with the United States. In fact, China has not benefited as much as it seems from its economic and trade relations with the United States: the trade deficit has encouraged the emission of dollars, and the United States has gained a large amount of international seigniorage. As for the US foreign trade policy, it will continue to be aimed at supporting, promoting and protecting national producers in world markets.
Jérôme Duberry, Artificial Intelligence and Democracy: Risks and Promises of AI-Mediated Citizen–Government Relations (Cheltenham/Northampton: Edward Elgar, 2022)
Authors: Egumenovska Kristina
Published: March 2023

The book structurally and thematically spans across several important issues which AI as a digital technology brings into the citizen-government relations, methodologically relying on literature and policy review, workshops, focus groups and semi-structured interviews with authorities in citizen participation, online platforms and artificial intelligence. It begins with the conceptualization of AI and ends with the ramifications of civic tech as the technology used to increase citizens participation and civic engagement. In between, it explores the most common positive and negative effects which algorithms, automation and big data exert over citizen participation in policy making. In fact, given that the participation of citizens in policy-making is a direct expression of popular sovereignty and this participation is based on the assumption that citizens are (1) well informed (2) consulted and (3) included in the decision process, the author presents in separate chapters how the use of AI contributes to these assumptions. The findings, in brief, show that AI creates filter bubbles and echo chambers alongside the digital space allowed for people’s opinions and initiatives; AI assists in ‘digital listening’ and mass-surveillance of these practices not only for national security purposes, but for pure profit; and finally, it also capitalizes via digital advertising on people’s online presence, particularly by gearing their opinion with (individually optimized) propaganda.

Authors: Ferdinandi Catherine Mkenda , Kiwonde Flora Mercury
Published: March 2023

This study investigated the influence of educational leadership on students’ academic performance in secondary schools. The researcher applied the descriptive research design, which allowed the in-depth study of the influence of educational leadership on students’ academic performance. The study population included 109 respondents, which comprised Heads of Schools (HoSs), Secondary Schools’ Academic Masters, discipline masters, and Ward Educational Officers (WEO). The study used a simple random and purposive sampling technique to select a sample size of 52 respondents. The researcher collected data through questionnaires. The data was analyzed by Ms-word and Ms-Excel and presented using tables. The Chi-square test and the T-test were employed in testing the association between leadership styles and students’ academic performance. The findings established that democratic leadership styles mostly influence students’ academic performance (R-value=0.932), implying that there is a strong and positive significant influence of democratic leadership styles on students’ academic achievement at a p = 0.004 level. For the laissez-faire leadership style, the relationship revealed an insignificant negative influence on students’ academic performance with a very weak relationship (R-value of 0.1) and was not significant (p = 0.072). Also, in the autocratic leadership style, although the relationship was moderate (R = 0.546), the relationship was insignificant with a p-value of 0.08. The results show that most school leaders prefer the use of democratic leadership style. The study recommends that head teachers should mostly use democratic leadership style if they want students to achieve or excel in good academic performance.

Ships, which are the essential elements of maritime transportation, have an indispensable role in world freight and passenger transportation. Besides sea routes, the role played by ships in inland water transport is also very important. In addition to these important economic effects, ships are also a major pollutant source. These emissions have negative effects on human health, cities, and the environment, as well as causing atmospheric pollution. Lake Van is Turkey's largest inland lake, with an area of ​​3,713 km2, and is an important inland waterway, with an active ferry network operating between Van and Tatvan-Bitlis. In this study, emission calculations of these ferries operating in Lake Van were carried out; it was aimed to develop an emission inventory for ship-related air pollution on Lake Van. Additionally, the environmental (social) costs of these emissions were estimated to assess the total impacts. One year of ship operation data was used for the calculations, and the engine power method was preferred, according to the available data. According to the calculations, the ship-originated emission inventory on Lake Van was determined to be 36,140.54, 107.84, 29.15, 17.49, 990.95, and 11.66 t for CO2, SO2, CO, HC, NOx, and PM, respectively. The total environmental costs of these emissions were calculated to be 40,046,340 €. These results are important in terms of determining the environmental effects of transportation activities in Lake Van, which have not been studied before.

Background: Adenoid is a patch of tissue that is situated high up in the throat and just behind the nose in the nasopharynx. Adenoid along with the tonsils, is a part of the lymphatic system that clears away infection and keeps body fluids in balance.Whenever, adenoid become enlarged, seriously infected or causes certain complications, adenoidectomy becomes essential. It can be performed with many ways includingcoblation assisted adenoidectomy and conventional curettage adenoidectomy.
Aim of the study: The aim ofthis study was to assessthe advantages of coblation assisted adenoidectomy over conventional curettage adenoidectomy.
Methods: This comparative observational study was conducted in the Department of ENT, Bangladesh Medical College Hospital and Popular Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh during the period from July 2019 to June 2022. A total of 100 admitted patients for adenoidectomy were included as the study. All the participants were divided in two groups. In Conventional group, there were 50 participants selected for conventional curettage adenoidectomy.On the other hand, in coblation group, other 50 participants selected for coblation assisted adenoidectomy. For comparison of both the method all necessary data along with demographic and clinical status were collected in a predesigned questioner. All data were processed and analyzed and disseminated by using MS Office and SPSS version 23 programs as per need.
Results: In this study, as the superiority of coblation assisted adenoidectomy over conventional curettage adenoidectomy we found significantly lower ‘intra operative blood loss in ml (7.58±3.28 ml)’, ‘post-operative bleeding (0%)’, presence of residual lymphoid tissue (8%)’, ‘days with analgesics (10.42±3.60 days), ‘post operative adenoid grading (0.0±0.0)’, ‘rate of recurrence (20%)’ and ‘needed days for recovery (4.68±2.17 days)’ among coblation group patients than that among conventional group patients.
Conclusion: Coblation assisted adenoidectomy ensures more easier and specific treatment for the patient. As per the findings of this study we can conclude that, considering the attractive features like lower intra operative and post-operative blood loss, presence of residual lymphoid tissue, days with analgesics, post operative adenoid grading, rate of recurrence and needed days for recovery coblation assisted adenoidectomy may be considered as the method of choice for such treatment.
