Summary. It has been established that an important element of local self-government development is ensuring the functioning and development of territorial communities. In recent years, the importance of territorial communities in the land use system has increased. In particular, the level of authority and responsibility for the results of the use of the land and property complex, ensuring the efficiency of land use, has increased. The directions and features of ensuring the development of territorial communities have been determined, taking into account the regulatory and legal aspects of their functioning. The relevance of the research topic in determining the directions of planning and ensuring the efficiency of land use has been proven.
The goal of the research in determining the directions and identifying the features of planning and ensuring the efficiency of land use of territorial communities has been achieved. The tasks solved: determining the directions of planning of territories; identifying factors that affect the level of efficiency of land use of territorial communities; characterizing and applying the method for assessing the level of efficiency of land use of territorial communities; identifying directions for increasing the efficiency of land use of territorial communities.
As a result of the study, an insignificant level of efficiency of land use of territorial communities has been determined in most regions. Along with this, this indicator was determined at a low level in the Donetsk, Luhansk and Kherson regions. This situation is associated with internal and external imbalances, the impact of the consequences of the Russian Federation's aggression.
Appropriate measures have been proposed to increase the efficiency of land use in territorial communities.

Abstract. The parameters of a car wheel and its pneumatic tire, in particular, significantly affect both the dynamics of the vehicle and the nature of its interaction with the road surface. This is explained by the fact that the pneumatic tire of a car wheel is the final element of the car structure which directly interacts with the road surface and transfers all forces and moments (acting in the contact patch with the bearing surface) to its suspension and steering. So, on the one hand, the parameters of the interaction of the car wheel with the bearing surface largely determine the controllability and stability of the car, the passability and smoothness of the ride, the fuel economy and the efficiency of the vehicle use in general, etc.; on the other hand, the level of negative impact of the vehicle on the road surface. Accordingly, the parameters of the car wheel and its interaction with the bearing surface are necessary both in the study of the movement of motor vehicles and in the calculation of road wear. This article presents the results of experimental studies on the determination of the radial stiffness of the pneumatic tire 175/70 R 13 82 T (internal pressure 0.2 MPa) and the size of its contact spot with the support surface at different values of the vertical load on the car wheel. The presented research was carried out within the framework of the project "Development of a load model based on the actual parameters of heavy-duty rolling stock to determine the load-carrying capacity of road bridges during their restoration and operation in the war and post-war periods" under the competition "Science for the reconstruction of Ukraine in the war and post-war periods" the grant support account of the National Research Fund of Ukraine.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF USING GAME MODELS IN ECONOMY
Authors:   National Transport University, Kovalenko Natalia , Malakhova Yulia ,   National Transport University
Published: December 2024

Summary The article examines the theoretical foundations and practical possibilities of applying game theory as an effective tool for analyzing and modeling economic processes. The main attention is paid to the classification of games by type of interaction, information completeness, number of participants and other parameters, which allows adapting these models to real economic problems. The key concepts of game theory, such as Nash equilibrium, dominant strategies, mixed strategies and coalition models, which are fundamental for analyzing the behavior of economic entities in a competitive environment, are studied.
The paper analyzes the historical development of game theory, starting with the works of Emil Borel, John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern, who laid the foundation for the modern analysis of strategic decisions. The concepts of Nash equilibrium, Shapley value and other approaches are considered from the perspective of their practical application for solving problems of modeling market competition, coalition formation, resource allocation, pricing and auction analysis.
Special attention is paid to the mathematical apparatus of game theory, in particular to normal, extensive and cooperative forms of game representation. Examples of modeling economic interaction are used, such as Cournot and Bertrand price competition, coalition agreements, analysis of negotiation strategies and risk management under uncertainty. The article also highlights the possibilities of game theory for predicting the behavior of market participants in conditions of information asymmetry.
The use of game models allows enterprises not only to optimize behavioral strategies, but also to increase competitiveness, manage risks and ensure a fair distribution of resources. In cooperative games, the use of Shapley value contributes to the effective formation of coalitions and the distribution of winnings between participants. In non-cooperative scenarios, the Nash equilibrium helps to predict the actions of competitors and make optimal decisions.
The results of the study have both theoretical value, as they provide a deep understanding of the strategic interaction of participants in economic processes. The conclusions obtained can be used to improve the effectiveness of management decisions in business, public administration and the financial sector.

Summary. The modern cadastral and land management systems of Ukraine have different development paths, one of which is the improvement of mechanisms for administering land resources by reducing human influence. To this end, it is proposed to create an additional element of the system that will be responsible for the interaction between all databases and land management structures.
This article proposes the idea of a Cadastral Information Processing Center (CIPС) as an intelligent platform for automating the functioning of all components of land management and cadastral systems. It includes a number of new elements as well as several known and currently functioning elements: a cadastral register of intellectual resources, a database of cadastres (land, forestry, construction, etc.), knowledge bases, a repository of typical problem-solving models, and sources of information about the subject and object of land administration, regulatory and legal frameworks, intelligent interfaces, customers, and problem solvers. This platform will facilitate the storage, processing, and transmission of data for the purposes of administering land resources, allowing for the resolution of existing cadastral and land management tasks in semi-automatic and automatic modes, depending on the complexity of the assigned task.
The presented work emphasizes the application of modern mathematical methods, in particular, tools of category theory, which provide a structured approach to modeling and analyzing cadastral data in the CIPС. This method allows for the representation of system elements as elements of categories, where each object belongs to a general structure governed by certain rules of interaction—morphisms. Specifically, models are presented that characterize the interconnection of all elements that constitute a holistic system for solving land management tasks. Mathematical modeling of interactions allows for the organization of data, establishing a structured exchange of information, and performing necessary operations within the CIPС.
By combining intelligent and mathematical methods, it becomes possible to enhance the effectiveness of the cadastral system in Ukraine, reducing the burden on administrative bodies and promoting the automation of decision-making processes.

Summary. The article establishes that real estate is characterised as an important multi-purpose element that affects the functioning and development of the State and regions, and is determined by the socio-economic aspects of ensuring the vital activity of society. At the same time, there is no multi-purpose real estate cadastre as a modern cadastral system, which provides opportunities to create a basis for improving the efficiency of its use on the basis of appropriate information and spatial support.
The aim of the study is to determine the directions and peculiarities of the formation of geodetic support for the multipurpose real estate cadastre. The paper solves the following tasks: substantiation of theoretical provisions on the definition of real estate for the formation of a modern cadastral system; definition of elements of a multipurpose real estate cadastre; formation of geodetic support for a multipurpose real estate cadastre; determination of spatial factors for the formation of a multipurpose real estate cadastre.
It is proposed to use 3-D models for the development of a multipurpose cadastre. The formation of spatial support is carried out with the use of modern geodetic technologies: aerial photography; laser 3-D scanning; GNSS technologies; 3-D measurement system (BLK3D); tacheometric measurements; levelling systems; GIS receivers; laser rangefinders.
As a result of the study, modern geodetic technologies are proposed for the development of a multipurpose real estate cadastre. Moreover, the need to take into account spatial, urban planning, investment and environmental factors is identified. Of particular importance are spatial factors, which are of mediocre importance in most regions. At the same time, the spatial provision is characterised by low or insignificant levels in: Volyn, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv regions.

Aim: Throughout the pandemic, it has been reported that COVID-19 affects multiple systems and causes damage, with the cardiovascular system being one of the main systems disrupted by COVID-19 infection. COVID-19-related peripheral arterial disease is characterized by the sudden onset of symptoms due to arterial occlusion caused by thrombosis or embolism. The aim of the study was to reveal whether the two most used COVID-19 vaccines in Türkiye (Biontech-mRNA and Sinovac inactivated vaccines) influence the development of peripheral arterial disease and to investigate whether this relationship changes with the vaccine doses.

Methods: The study was conducted with a total of 1134 patients who were pre-diagnosed with PAD, using a retrospective data analysis method. The relationships of the definite PAD diagnosis rates, particularly with the COVID-19 vaccines, the type of vaccines, and their doses were examined. Changes in these relationships according to gender and age were analyzed.

Results: It was determined that the frequency of peripheral arterial disease increased during the pandemic, and that Sinovac inactivated vaccine and Biontech-mRNA vaccines had no effect on the development of peripheral arterial disease.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates the importance of vaccines, which are the most crucial tool for health professionals in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during a period when vaccine hesitancy and opposition are rising.

Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted between 15.10.2022 and 15.01.2023, used a questionnaire with sociodemographic characteristics, "HPV Knowledge Scale", and "Health Belief Model Scale for HPV and its Vaccination". Multiple linear regression analysis was performed using the SPSS v20.0, on the variables that showed significance at p<0.05 in the univariate analyses.

Results: Among 490 participants, whose median age was 48 and 53% held a bachelor's degree or higher, only 26.3% had received training on sexually transmitted infections. 5.9% of women, and among women with children aged 9-26, 6% of their children were vaccinated against HPV. The most correctly answered proposition from the HPV Knowledge Scale was "Having many sexual partners increases the risk of getting HPV" (60.6%); the most incorrectly answered proposition was "HPV usually doesn't need any treatment” (%43.5). Those under 40 years old, with a bachelor's degree or higher, those trained on sexually transmitted infections, and those who were recommended vaccination for themselves and their children by healthcare professionals revealed higher HPV knowledge. A positive correlation existed between the HPV Knowledge Scale and Health Belief Model Scale for HPV and its vaccination.

Conclusion: Higher HPV knowledge among younger individuals (<40 years) suggests greater potential for benefit from vaccination and prevention strategies. Education at higher levels and comprehensive sexually transmitted infections training can enhance overall HPV understanding. Educational initiatives to raise information and awareness, comprehensive sexually transmitted infections training, and encouraging healthcare professionals to discuss HPV and vaccination would be effective in increasing HPV knowledge levels.

Published: December 2024

Aim: Human papillomavirus is the most common known cause of cervical cancer. Screening programmes and vaccination against human papillomavirus are the most effective methods for the prevention and early diagnosis of cervical cancer. Female's awareness of this issue is important for their participation in screening programmes and human papillomavirus vaccination. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of female in the community about human papillomavirus, human papillomavirus vaccine and cervical cancer.

Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 130 female who applied to the Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic of Selcuk University Faculty of Medicine between May 2023 and July 2023. Data were collected using a 21-question questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics, human papillomavirus, human papillomavirus vaccine, and cervical cancer, which was prepared by the researcher after reviewing the literature.

Results: It was found that the rate of testing increased as the age of the participants increased, the rate of testing decreased as the level of education increased, and the rate of testing was higher in married female, which was statistically significant.

Conclusion: It was found that knowledge of human papillomavirus and vaccination rates against human papillomavirus were low among participants. Educating female about human papillomavirus vaccination and cervical smear testing by health professionals, especially family doctors and gynecologists, and, if necessary, broadcasting public service announcements through social media/television will be very effective in preventing and detecting cervical cancer at an early stage.

Published: December 2024

Background

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a chronic, progressive disease that affects both upper and lower motor neurons. Some physicians have used traditional Chinese therapies (TCT) to treat ALS. However, there has been no systematic review or meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TCT interventions. This review aims to analyze the effects of TCT interventions for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Methods and analysis

This study will include randomized, non-randomized, and quasi-experimental clinical trials, with participants being any age Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients who have undergone TCT treatment. Two researchers will independently search databases including CENTRAL, PubMed, PEDro, EMBASE, CNKI, CBM, and SPORTDiscus, without restrictions on language or publication date. These researchers will independently screen titles and abstracts and extract data from the included studies. If deemed suitable for meta-analysis, data synthesis will be conducted using Review Manager V.5.3 software; any discrepancies will be resolved by a third researcher. The meta-analysis will compare the effects of TCT with placebo or other interventions. The main endpoint evaluated was the decrease in the overall score of the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R; scoring from 0 to 48, where higher scores denote greater functionality) over a period of 24 weeks. Additional endpoints included the reduction rates in isometric muscle power, levels of phosphorylated axonal neurofilament H subunits in plasma, and slow vital capacity measurements. Furthermore, the study monitored the duration until occurrence of death, tracheostomy, or the need for long-term ventilation, as well as the time until death, tracheostomy, long-term ventilation, or hospital admission.

Ethics and dissemination

Throughout the entire process of this systematic review, no personal information was used, hence ethical review is not required. The results of this meta-analysis will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals and/or conference presentations.
Water at the intersection of human rights and conflict: a case study of Palestine
Authors: Muratoglu Abdullah , Wassar Fatma
Published: December 2024

The global water crisis presents a multifaceted challenge intersecting with human rights and conflict, particularly evident in regions like Palestine. This study delves into the intricate dynamics of water scarcity in Palestine, with a specific focus on the Gaza Strip. The scarcity of water resources has a profound impact on agriculture and the economy, leading to increased food insecurity as a result of insufficient water availability for irrigation. Furthermore, the unequal distribution of water resources between Israel and Palestine perpetuates the crisis, with Israeli settlements consuming a disproportionate share compared to Palestinians. This research also highlights the widespread issue of water discrimination, where Israeli policies systematically restrict Palestinian access to water resources, thereby exacerbating existing disparities. In the Gaza Strip, the challenges are particularly severe, with a staggering 89% of the population lacking access to safely managed drinking water services. Addressing the water crisis in Palestine necessitates concerted efforts to enhance water security, safeguard water quality, and uphold the fundamental rights of the population. Collaborative initiatives are essential to alleviate the plight of communities in Gaza and across Palestine, ensuring equitable access to this vital resource and fostering sustainable development.
