Diktat u nastavi ruskoga kao stranoga jezika
Authors: Modrić Hrabar Žana
Published: December 2023

U ovome radu analiziraju se vrste diktata u nastavi ruskoga kao stranoga jezika s osvrtom na ruski kao materinji, uz navođenje terminologije na ruskome jeziku. Pojašnjava se sama uloga diktata u nastavnome procesu, kao i uloga u savladavanju pisma kao produktivnе jezičnе vještinе, koja se u učenju stranoga jezika savladava istovremeno s govorom, te je u kontekstu pisanja diktata neodvojiva od receptivne jezične vještine slušanja. Rad sadrži primjere koji su preuzeti iz stručne literature, kao i autorske primjere. Metodička literatura spominje cijeli niz različitih vrsta diktata, a u ovome smo se radu koncentrirali na takozvane tradicionalne diktate, među koje ubrajamo vizualni, slušni, vizualno-slušni i samodiktat. Od ostalih vrsta izdvajamo stvaralački, slobodni, izborni, diktat sa sprječavanjem grešaka i diktat-rečenicu. Najčešće se u nastavi stranoga jezika koristi slušni diktat, koji se provodi u tri faze, prvo se čita cijeli tekst kako bi se dobio uvid u sadržaj, zatim se diktira rečenica po rečenica, a na kraju se cijeli tekst čita još jednom sporije radi provjere napisanoga. Zaključujemo da svaki od njih može, osim u nastavi materinjeg, pronaći svoju primjenu i u nastavi ruskoga kao stranoga jezika.

Osmijeh – varljiva slika „Unutarnjega čovjeka” (na primjeru romana Sakupljač Raja E. Čižova)
Authors: Vojvodić Jasmina
Published: December 2023

U radu se raspravlja o odnosu „unutarnjega” i „vanjskoga čovjeka”, pozivajući se na psihopoetiku E. Ètkinda (2005) koji uvodi termine „unutarnjega čovjeka” i „izvanjskoga govora”. Odnos „unutarnjega” i „vanjskoga” istražuje se preko osmijeha – facijalne ekspresije Marine L'vovne, junakinje u romanu E. Čižova Sakupljač raja (2019). Marina L'vovna boluje od Alzheimerove progresivne i kronične bolesti i njezin osmijeh, kao kompleksan znak (Vinogradov 1999), važno je „vanjsko” obilježje njezina „unutarnjega” ja. Premda se junakinja mijenja, ona zadržava emocionalnost, kao i osmijeh na licu tijekom cijeloga života. U radu se obraća pozornost na osmijeh, imajući na umu emocije (usmjerenost subjekta prema van) i osjećaje (usmjerenost subjekta prema unutra) (Burger 2011), čime se potvrđuje odnos (poklapanje i razilaženje) „unutarnjega” i „vanjskoga čovjeka”. Analiza pokazuje da osmijeh junakinje ne odgovara vanjskim podražajima i da se junakinja zatvara u svoj „unutarnji” svijet i udaljuje, kako od „vanjskoga čovjeka”, tako i od vanjskoga svijeta.
Komunikacija između čovjeka i prirode
Authors: Rem Paula
Published: December 2023

Pristanište (2020) Darka Šeparovića alegorijski je roman koji tematizira odnose čovjeka i prirode. Komunikacijski problemi između protagonista i njegove djevojke zrcale nasilne i destruktivne odnose vidljive u prirodi, ali i u odnosima između čovjeka i prirode. Tekst navodi čitatelja povjerovati da protagonist nakon raskida veze uništava svoju kuću (kao što neumjerena eksploatacija prirodnih resursa uništava Zemlju) radi izgradnje broda (koji simbolizira industriju), no zaokret otkriva da protagonist nije doista uništio svoj dom, već napisao roman. Metatekstualni završetak pokazuje odmak od destruktivnih komunikacijskih tendencija. Ovaj angažirani ekološki roman koristi hindo-budističku cikličku strukturu, ali se oslanja na judeokršćansku perspektivu o tehnološkom progresu kao pozitivnom civilizacijskom pomaku uz imperativ „čuvanja i održavanja” okoliša. Komunikacija u romanu odvija se na nekoliko razina: između muškarca i žene, čovjeka i prirode, prirode i industrije. Cilj ovoga rada je analizirati procese interakcije u romanu s fokusom na odnos između ljudskog tijela i prirode te civilizacijski kontekstualizirati roman. Kao rezultat emocionalnih stanja, subjektovo tijelo transformira se i dovodi u interakciju s prirodom. Sve u romanu postoji kao dvoje: on i ona, drvo i more, civilizacija i priroda – uvijek postoji pošiljatelj (komunikator) i primatelj (recipijent). Komunikacija u romanu predstavlja bilo koji interaktivan odnos koji sadrži akciju i reakciju. Rad će se fokusirati na tematska težišta vezana uz ekologiju, stav prema industrijalizaciji te identificirati judeokršćanske i hindo-budističke elemente.
Metaphors for Očaj ‘Despair’ in Croatian
Authors: Šarić Ljiljana
Published: December 2023

This study examines the role of metaphor in the conceptualization of očaj ‘despair’ based on the Croatian corpus hrWaC. The study also considers some non-figurative aspects. Employing “metaphorical pattern analysis” (Stefanowitsch 2006) and MIP (Pragglejaz Group 2007) methods, the paper scrutinizes corpus examples that contain the target-domain word očaj ‘despair’, looking for metaphorical patterns. These patterns were extracted from a random sample of 1,000 citations and additional corpus citations that were retrieved based on a list of collocation candidates. The analysis shows that the metaphorical conceptualization of očaj ‘despair’ in Croatian in the data examined relates to approximately forty source domains, out of which the most frequently utilized is container, followed by object. The source domains identified in the conceptualization of očaj illustrate similarities between the metaphors for očaj in Croatian and those identified for sadness and depression in various languages, and point toward universal features of metaphorical conceptualization of some emotions and emotional states.
L’infinito u hrvatskim prepjevima
Authors: Fabijanić Marijana
Published: December 2023

U radu se analizira kako su hrvatski prevoditelji Olinko Delorko, Vladimir Nazor, Ton Smerdel, Frano Čale i Juraj Gracin, prevodeći slavnu Leopardijevu idilu L’Infinito, doživjeli uranjanje u poetiku Giacoma Leopardija te kako su tekst prenijeli hrvatskom čitateljstvu. Nakon kratkoga uvoda u problematiku književnog prevođenja, daje se sažeti pregled predstavljanja Leopardijeve poezije u hrvatskoj književnoj kritici i prevoditeljstvu i uspoređuje s načinom kako je predstavljaju prevoditelji čiji su prepjevi analizirani u središnjem dijelu rada. Traduktološka obrada ne smjera donošenju ocjene o tome koji je od pet analiziranih prijevoda ”ljepši“ ili bolji, nego utvrđivanju jednakovrijednosti i/ili odstupanja u odnosu na izvorni tekst na svim jezičnim razinama, uspoređivanjem pojedinih sastavnica teksta raščlanjenog u estetsko-misaone cjeline. U sintezi je poseban naglasak stavljen na indikatore koji otkrivaju prijevod kao mjesto susreta identiteta pjesnika i njegova svijeta s identitetima prevoditelja.
Nuovo cinema Buie
Authors: Visintin Giulia
Published: December 2023

L’obiettivo principale dell’articolo è analizzare i sottotitoli in croato del film-documentario Nuovo cinema Buie. Questo documentario che ricorda gli avvenimenti legati al periodo di esodo di molte famiglie durante il Secondo dopoguerra, è stato girato e presentato al pubblico per la prima volta proprio a Buie, la cittadina istriana nella quale è tuttora forte l’uso del croato, italiano e istroveneto. Nell’analisi sono state prese in considerazione solo le traduzioni in croato espresse in italiano standard e maggiormente in dialetto istroveneto. Seguendo la classificazione di Gottlieb (2009) nel lavoro vengono riscontrate con maggior rilievo le strategie di espansione, condensazione, parafrasi, trasposizione, riduzione, rinuncia e cancellazione, mentre le tecniche del processo traduttivo quali imitazione, trascrizione e dislocazione non sono stati evidenziati.
Le otto montagne
Authors: Maroević Ana , Jordan Kristina
Published: December 2023

Il presente contributo offre una proposta didattica che mira ad educare gli studenti universitari alla lettura e alla comprensione di un romanzo contemporaneo in lingua italiana; intende, inoltre, insegnare loro a scrivere un diario di lettura. L’unità didattica comprende le fasi di globalità, di analisi e di sintesi, precedute dalla fase introduttiva di motivazione. Vengono lette le prime pagine del romanzo Le otto montagne di Paolo Cognetti al fine di stimolare e motivare gli studenti a continuare a leggere il romanzo per intero e a riconoscere questo compito come un modo piacevole per studiare non solo la lingua e la cultura italiana, ma anche per viverlo come un’esperienza personale.Questo romanzo nello specifico ha la capacità di coinvolgere lo studente grazie a delle tematiche molto vicine ai giovani e grazie alla sua ambientazione e alla carica emotiva che trasmette. Con il diario di lettura si mira, poi, a sviluppare la produzione scritta e a cercare uno spazio per coltivare la propria creatività e immaginazione. Pur essendo un’esperienza volta a sviluppare l’autonomia dello studente, a nostro avviso è importante che il primo contatto con il libro e il diario di lettura sia affrontato assieme all’insegnante, al fine di abbassare il filtro affettivo tra gli studenti e di accrescere in loro motivazione e fiducia in se stessi.

Solitary pulmonary nodule update of its diagnosis, molecular biology and treatment
Authors: Hunis Adrian
Published: December 2023

Solitary Pulmonary Nodule (SPN) is a term used to describe a single, isolated lesion or abnormality in the lung parenchyma that appears as a discrete spot on radiological imaging. SPNs are frequently encountered in clinical practice, often as incidental findings on chest X-rays or CT scans. The management of SPNs is a critical aspect of pulmonary medicine and oncology, as these nodules can be benign or malignant. This abstract provides an overview of the characteristics, evaluation, and diagnostic approach to SPNs, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between benign and malignant nodules through imaging, biopsy, and molecular analysis. It discusses the significance of early detection, personalized treatment strategies, and the impact of recent advancements in molecular biology and genetics on SPN management. Accurate assessment and timely intervention are essential in improving outcomes for patients with SPNs, as early-stage lung cancer presents a better prognosis compared to advanced disease.

Authors: Bemis Restina , Heriyanti Heriyanti , Puspitasari Ratih Dyah , Pratiwi Nurul , Putri Levi Febiola Aulia
Published: December 2023

Calcium Hydroxyapatite (HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is an important material utilized in bone, tooth enamel, and dentin. In this study, areca nut peel bioreductors (Areca catechu L.) were used to synthesize HAp-Ag nanocomposites using green synthesis method. The effect of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) amount on the structure and morphologies of the synthesized HAp-Ag nanocomposites were investigated. The XRD showed that the crystal size of synthesized HAp-Ag nanocomposites is 1-100 nm with a degree of crystallinity above 60%. SEM images showed that the particles of HAp-Ag nanocomposites were nano-sized with uneven spherical shape. The antibacterial activity test was carried out against Staphylococcusaureus and Escherichia coli using the disc diffusion test. The result showed that AgNPs incorporated in modified HAp inhibited Gram-negative bacteria more efficiently than Gram-Positive bacteria. Based on the antibacterial test results, the hydroxyapatites were effective against all tested microorganisms. Therefore, it can be considered as an antimicrobial biomaterial that can be used in implant and reconstructive surgery applications.
Computer Structurization of Canonical Texts
Authors: Burdonov I.B. , Maksimov A.V.
Published: December 2023

This book is devoted to research on the computer structuring of canonical texts on the example of the classical ancient Chinese treatise "Dao De Jing". The idea of such structuring was proposed in 1976 by the Russian sinologist V. S. Spirin and further supported and developed by A. M. Karapetyants and other researchers. It is based on the concept of "universal parallelism", which mathematically can be understood as an equivalence relation on a set of elementary text units (hieroglyphs, words). Karapetyants performed a complete structuring of the "Dao De Jing", which was analyzed using a computer basing on various criteria of similarity of character sequences as fragments of text. The text of the paragraph of "Dao De Jing" is placed in the cells of the matrix 33. There may be several such acceptable placements and it was necessary to compare these placements according to the degree of parallelism of the text by selecting the "most parallel" placements. At the same time, the developed methodology and computer programs can be applied not only to the structuring by Karapetyants and not only to the text of the "Dao De Jing". Finally, in the broadest sense, some methods, algorithms and programs can be used to solve problems that are very far from textual research.

The influence of the polyol solvents on the continuous growth of water-dispersible iron oxide nanoparticles
Authors: Qu Jing , Cheah Pohlee , Adams Daniel , Collen Charles , Zhao Yongfeng
Published: December 2023

Magnetic nanoparticles have continued to gain significant attention due to their unique magnetic properties and potential applications. However, it is still challenging to directly synthesize water-dispersible magnetic nanoparticles with controlled size for biomedical applications. This study investigates the influence of solvents on the continuous growth of magnetic nanoparticles, aiming to achieve controlled size and excellent water dispersibility via thermal decomposition in polyol solvents. The size of the nanoparticles gradually increases with longer polyol chain solvents. The increase in nanoparticles size is more significant under a higher reaction temperature (220 °C) compared to a lower temperature (190 °C). These monodispersed nanoparticles exhibit strong superparamagnetic properties, improving with longer solvent chain lengths at the same size. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies reveal higher relaxivities for magnetic nanoparticles synthesized in longer-chain polyols. This research offers valuable insights for synthesizing magnetic nanoparticles with precise sizes, magnetic properties, and biomedical applications.

Published: December 2023

Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have emerged as a promising platform for biosensing, electrophysiology, and neuromorphic devices. However, OECTs are often limited by the stability of the channel materials. Here, we systematically investigate the stability of OECT channels under varied operating voltage ranges. We find that OECT materials can be operated with high stability when the voltage range is reduced. We show that repeated full voltage cycling degrades device performance. The results indicate that to maximize stability, OECTs should either be operated in the saturation regime to maximize current gain (transconductance) or in the subthreshold regime to maximize the on/off ratio.

Bacterial Endospores as an Additional Source of Archaeological Knowledge in the Analysis of a Burial Cemetery of the Tarnobrzeg Lusatian Culture in Dębina (SE Poland)
Authors: Trybała-Zawiślak Katarzyna , Potocki Leszek , Czopek Sylwester , Ząbek Tomasz
Published: December 2023

Archaeological studies need to use laboratory techniques, including analytical methods like Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, gas chromatography – mass spectrometry, and high-performance liquid chromatography, as well as genetic methods to resolve and verify scientific hypotheses. However, additional tools are still needed in the case of the cultural practicesand traditions of ancient societies. Archaeological examinations of cultural practices have made significant progress in recent years, but additional tools are still needed to fully understand the complexity and diversity of these practices. In this work, we demonstrate how the genotyping of soil bacteria that can produce endospores is a potentially additional method for discovering past funeral rituals in various human populations who used food during their ceremonies. Endospores were isolated from soil samples taken from inside earthenware cup and pot-type vessels from a burial ground identified with the Tarnobrzeg Lusatian culture (SE Poland). The detected species of spore-forming bacteria strains were mostly environmental (originating from soil and / or water). However, the presence of some of the taxa i.e. (Peanibacillus, Bacillus) may provide a valuable source of archaeological information. We found that a combination of molecular and microbiological analysis can support archaeological studies of burial grounds and – in particular – individual graves, especially when they are characterized by a complete lack of bones.
Determining quality indicators for projects of information protection of information activity objects
Authors: Lutsenko Vladymyr , Progonov Dmytro
Published: December 2023

The design and analysis of the effectiveness of modern integrated information protection systems (IIPS) is complicated by the influence of the designer's subjective decisions regarding methods and means of protection, the need to determine the quality criteria for the functioning of the designed objects. The work is aimed at improving the technology of automated design of IIPS by determining the quality of projects. When creating a database (DB) of objects with such "qualitative" performance indicators of information protection systems, it is possible to compare existing and new protection objects and to adjust the protection projects of existing objects. Moreover, the ontological properties of active and threat-resistant objects are taken into account.
To illustrate the use of the methodology for determining and comparing the quality of projects, an example of comparing the quality of projects obtained in different ways is given. One way currently operating involves the use of expert evaluation of the quality of protection projects for existing facilities. The second way is intended for objects defined as objects of protection of the general structure (OPGS) and involves a principally objective assessment of design quality using known quality diagrams and control of Ishikawa and Pareto design consequences. As a result of the given example, it was determined that the quality of projects according to quality diagrams and control of design consequences should increase by more than two times.
The proposed method of comparing the quality of information protection projects for different objects or different protection projects of one object allows to improve the process of creating information protection projects. At the same time, it is possible to exclude the human controller from the process of determining the reliability of object protection. It also allows you to automate the design process, reduce the time and cost of design costs

In this paper, the object of the research is 110 kV power grids of three regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan: Astana city, Turkestan region and Shymkent city, as well as West Kazakhstan region.
Operators of the studied power grids have no idea about the real levels of voltage and current sinusoidality distortion coefficients, as well as about their relationship with other regime and system parameters of power grids. Similar problems may be faced by other grid companies that do not have the appropriate information and measurement infrastructure to monitor the modes of power grids in terms of voltage and current sinusoidality distortion.
In the course of the present study, using portable three-phase power quantity and quality analyzers, it was possible to make daily measurements of mode parameters in 41 110 kV transmission lines with a length of 5 to 120 km.
The results of measurements showed that in Astana city, the voltage quality is at a satisfactory level, but the distortion coefficient of sinusoidality of current reaches 39 % (the average level for 15 studied lines is 13.3 %) due to the high concentration of non-linear load of consumers. In the South of Kazakhstan, the voltage and current sinusoidality distortion coefficients are relatively moderate, but voltage drops are frequent (sometimes up to 10 % or more) due to the large distance between load centers and relatively high population density. In the power grids of Western Kazakhstan, voltage and current sinusoidality distortion coefficients have high levels (reach 14 % and 70 %, respectively) due to low network load with a large length of transmission lines.
The analysis makes it possible to trace the relationship of voltage and current sinusoidality distortion coefficients with such regional characteristics as population density, nature of loads, power losses, voltage and current levels
Formation of economic freedom and entrepreneurial culture as strategic dominants of enterprise development transparency

Published: December 2023

Under today's unstable market conditions of business, one of the urgent problems has become the study of economic freedom and entrepreneurial culture as strategic dominants of the transparency of the development of enterprises. This is due to the need to ensure the efficiency of activities and strengthen the competitiveness of Ukrainian enterprises in the European market. This defines economic freedom and entrepreneurial culture as the most priority criteria for the transparency of enterprise development by vector and rank direction. The relationship between economic freedom and entrepreneurial culture as strategic dominants of the transparency of enterprise development was substantiated. The set of structural and logical subsystems of transparency of development, which are interconnected and functioning, taking into account the specifics of their impact on the strategic and analytical support of enterprises, has been studied. The variability of the strategic dominant influence of economic freedom and entrepreneurial culture on the transparency of the development of enterprises was formed using the hierarchy analysis method. The obtained variability allows taking into account the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the degree of influence of economic freedom and entrepreneurial culture on the general level of transparency of the development of enterprises, which is the basis for the development of strategically oriented areas of their activity

Published: December 2023

Traumatic, osteoarthritic, tumoral, and congenital bone issues impact human lives and health. The next generation of bone implants is made from biodegradable materials, including Fe-based materials with superior mechanical properties and high biocompatibility. However, efforts to inhibit the risk of inflammation and bacterial infection due to the biological response and corrosion properties of metals are a significant challenge.  This study aims to develop biomaterials based on Fe-Cr-Mn alloys to obtain superior physical and mechanical properties through plasma nitriding. Each sample was plasma-nitridated in a vacuum chamber at various temperatures of 250–450 °C for 3 hours at a pressure of 1.8 kPa. Several main tests were performed to investigate the effects of plasma nitriding, such as the chemical compositions of raw material, surface nitrogen contents, phase changes, thickness, hardness, and corrosion. Those parameters were then used to evaluate plasma nitriding's effectiveness, including observing the change in phenomena at each temperature treatment. The results indicated that forming the S phase on the surface of Fe-13.8Cr-8.9Mn alloy is a saturated solution of nitrogen in ɣ-Fe, where the nitrogen content on the surface increases with increasing nitriding temperature. The layer's surface hardness is uniform across its whole thickness, which reduces as the grade of raw material passes through the nitride layer. The highest hardness at a nitriding temperature of 450 °C reached 625.3 VHN. The findings showed that the corrosion rate decreased significantly, reaching the lowest value, 0.0018 mm/year, at a plasma nitriding temperature of 450 °C. Plasma nitriding could enhance the physical and mechanical properties of Fe-Cr-Mn alloy
Development of an advanced ai-based model for human psychoemotional state analysis
Authors: Ainakulov Zharas , Koshekov Kayrat , Savostin Alexey , Anayatova Raziyam , Seidakhmetov Beken , Kurmankulova Gulzhan
Published: December 2023

The research focuses on developing a novel method for the automatic recognition of human psychoemotional states (PES) using deep learning technology. This method is centered on analyzing speech signals to classify distinct emotional states. The primary challenge addressed by this research is to accurately perform multiclass classification of seven human psychoemotional states, namely joy, fear, anger, sadness, disgust, surprise, and a neutral state. Traditional methods have struggled to accurately distinguish these complex emotional nuances in speech. The study successfully developed a model capable of extracting informative features from audio recordings, specifically mel spectrograms and mel-frequency cepstral coefficients. These features were then used to train two deep convolutional neural networks, resulting in a classifier model. The uniqueness of this research lies in its use of a dual-feature approach and the employment of deep convolutional neural networks for classification. This approach has demonstrated high accuracy in emotion recognition, with an accuracy rate of 0.93 in the validation subset. The high accuracy and effectiveness of the model can be attributed to the comprehensive and synergistic use of mel spectrograms and mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, which provide a more nuanced analysis of emotional expressions in speech. The method presented in this research has broad applicability in various domains, including enhancing human-machine interface interactions, implementation in the aviation industry, healthcare, marketing, and other fields where understanding human emotions through speech is crucial
Construction of a neural network for handwritten digits recognition based on TensorFlow library applying an error backpropagation algorithm
Authors: Filimonova Tetiana , Samoylenko Hanna , Selivanova Anna , Yurchenko Yurii , Parashchak Alexei
Published: December 2023

The object of this study is a neural network for recognizing handwritten digits based on the TensorFlow library using the backpropagation algorithm.
The main problem addressed is the development of an effective model with high recognition accuracy. Working on such a task is important as it allows understanding how algorithms and models can effectively work with real data and helps improve machine learning techniques.
It has been determined that after 20 training epochs, the loss function is 0.105, and the recognition accuracy is 0.976, comparable to human recognition capability. The classification report indicates that the model is effectively trained on training data and demonstrates high accuracy on test data, capable of generalizing information to new examples. Visualization of recognition results confirms that the model correctly recognizes even poorly written digits.
The results can be explained by the peculiarities of the model architecture, optimal selection of hyperparameters, and successful use of the backpropagation algorithm, which was not explicitly specified during model training. TensorFlow provided a convenient toolkit for implementing the neural network and optimizing its parameters. As a result, the model has a fairly high accuracy in image recognition.
A significant feature of the results is the high recognition accuracy achieved through the optimal model architecture, correct choice of hyperparameters, and effective use of the backpropagation algorithm. Unlike models built using Keras and convolutional layers, the research model quickly learns, which is important, and does not compromise on accuracy. This result was made possible by the above features of model construction.
The results could be practically applied in the field of handwritten character recognition, especially in automated document classification systems, in banking recognition systems, and in other areas where the accuracy of handwritten character recognition is essential
Determining possibilities for applying theoretical principles of situational risk management in the aviation safety system
Authors: Bugayko Dmytro , Ponomarenko Oleksandr , Sokolova Nataliya , Leshchinsky Oleg
Published: December 2023

Aviation safety is one of the main criteria for its sustainable development. The object of this study is safety risk management, which is the main tool of the aviation safety management system. The problem that needs to be further solved is the improvement of aviation risk management methods under war, force majeure, and crisis conditions, as well as under conditions of uncertainty, when there is a minimum of time to make a single correct decision. The theory of situational management can be chosen as the theoretical basis for creating decision-making systems. The development of special languages for describing the situation arising at the control object, as well as in its control system, makes it possible to correctly represent the models of control objects and the evolution of knowledge about them. The work solves the task of building a model of the control object, which takes into account the maximum number of its features suitable for implementation. In order to represent the management object based on the method of expert assessments, the weighting coefficients of the risk characteristics’ probabilities and the values of the weighting coefficients of the degrees of severity were calculated, a matrix of risk assessment indicators was built, and risk assessment criteria were developed. Based on the calculations, general approaches to aviation safety risk management were specified. The paper developed a «dramatic script» of an episode of aviation security risk management, which includes the stages of the episode, the content of necessary actions, the corresponding stages of aviation security risk management and the corresponding aviation security risk management. The content of the management itself consists in preventing the transition from the zone of acceptable risk to the zone of permissible and from the zone of permissible risk to the zone of unacceptable risk, as well as the implementation of measures to stimulate the transition from the zone of unacceptable to the zone of permissible risk and from the zone of permissible to the zone of acceptable risk
Philosophical and Anthropological Foundations of Psychosynthesis by Roberto Assaggioli
Authors: Popov V. Y. , Popova E. V.
Published: December 2023

Purpose. The authors aim to reveal the influence of philosophical and esoteric principles on the formation and further development of Roberto Assagioli’s concept of psychosynthesis. The theoretical basis of the study is determined by the latest methodological approaches in the study of the relationship between philosophical, psychological, and esoteric approaches in the study of the unconscious and the formation of a harmonious personality. Originality. For the first time, a systematic analysis of the anthropological foundations of Roberto Assagioli’s work has been carried out in Ukrainian philosophical literature, the specificity of the connection between esoteric teachings and psychosynthesis has been revealed on the basis of a thorough study of primary sources and biographical evidence of the life and work of the famous Italian thinker. Conclusions. Psychosynthesis, which is one of the leading directions of modern psychology, has a rather multicultural philosophical and methodological basis. Its founder Roberto Assagioli, while developing his concept, was influenced by theosophical-esoteric, pragmatic kabbalistic, and Eastern religious concepts and practices. Unlike psychoanalysis, which saw the unconscious as physiological-naturalistic determinants of the human psyche and behavior, psychosynthesis considers the unconscious as a hidden potential for self-development of the individual. Roberto Assagioli went through a long and difficult way to finally form his own concept, which became the basis of the psycho-techniques of disidentification and work with subpersonalities, which help to discover the true transpersonal self, which is the source of human self-improvement. Modern discussions about the relationship between psychosynthesis and various forms of parapsychology once again testify to the synthetic nature of Assagioli’s teaching, which combines various psychotherapeutic practices. This is what gives psychosynthesis a new push for development in the conditions of wars, disasters, loneliness, and related psychological disorders.

The purpose of this article is to find out whether philosophical and anthropological studies of human nature affect the legitimization of decisions about human life and death, using the example of a philosophical analysis of the problem of euthanasia. Theoretical basis. Philosophically and anthropologically based situational analysis in bioethics is chosen as the research methodology, which reveals the legitimation of euthanasia as a complex and highly responsible moral decision, which should be based on both the consideration of all the patient’s special circumstances and the competent and adequate application of fundamental knowledge about the human being. Originality. From a philosophical point of view, it would be correct to legalize euthanasia, but under the condition of significantly limiting the cases of its application, clearly defining the conditions for its provision and strict control over its implementation. It is morally unacceptable to justify either murder or torture, so euthanasia appears as an attempt to avoid both at the same time. Conclusions. Specific solutions to practical problems often indicate the necessary direction for solving theoretical difficulties. Thus, making proper moral decisions about euthanasia requires reliance on fundamental knowledge about human beings, but at the same time it provides arguments "for" and "against" artificial termination of life. The basic principles of bioethics – autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence and respect for the dignity of human life – serve as criteria for making balanced ethical decisions both in theory and in practice. These principles should be complemented by a coherent ethical, legal and philosophical position on euthanasia, which is achieved through legitimation procedures. Decisive for making a decision on euthanasia should be the strong desire of the patient himself.

The article addresses the issue of the social implications of participating in religious groups, with particular emphasis on shaping the type of social capital among members of the mentioned religious groups or any group of a religious nature. It is not sufficiently represented in research work on modern sociology, especially the sociology of religious and modern lives, considering the context of the functioning of a modern man in their interpersonal space. To this end, qualitative research was carried out involving individual case studies. Various qualitative techniques were used: interviews, an analysis of document contents, photographs, biographies, observing participants in their social activities, trust, social ties (among members of the mentioned groups), the social roles of members, the implementation of social functions, participation in the common good, and the values and norms of social coexistence that guide the studied person. These imply the emergence of negative social capital, closing social capital, amoral familism and strong bonds in the norms developed by the group to which the analysed case belongs.
The Rejection of Aether in Physics
Authors: Svanberg Mikael
Published: December 2023

Eelco Runia’s view of historical time is that the now and the past exert an alternating influence on each other. The most prominent expression of this is a dialogue between the historian and the historical actors in which the historian creates metonyms, replacement terms, for how historical actors are defined, which affects the description of the past. In this paper, Runia’s conception of historical time has been tested through an empirical investigation into the changing descriptions of the process of rejecting the aether hypothesis, 1858-2022. After the process of phasing the aether out of physics had previously been explained as being caused by the gradual acceptance of the theory of relativity, the cause was suddenly superseded in the 1990s by the Michelson-Morley experiment conducted in the 1880s. During the 21st century, however, the aether once again returned as a concept. The reason for the changes, is the conclusion, could possibly be due to the ambition to give a rational picture of the development of natural science at every point in time
Regulation of work execution processes in railway construction using neural network technologies
Authors: Polyanskiy Aleksey
Published: December 2023

The article presents the theoretical provisions and practical possibilities of regulating the technological process implementation of construction railway track entity using an artificial neural network. Railway construction as a complex dynamic system requires certain resources for its maintenance. Under these conditions, effective control over the technology of work execution performed during the railway track entity construction is of decisive importance. This can be achieved by improving the existing system of engineering and technical support for railway construction through the introduction of a subsystem for engineering and intellectual support of technological processes for the railway entities construction. One of the subsystem’s tasks is the effective use of automation tools with artificial intelligence elements.

The appearance of deviations from planned requirements during construction work, due to the stochastic nature of railway construction, leads to technology violations, an increase in labor costs, prime cost, an increase in duration and, as a result, a deterioration in the railway entity operational characteristics. To avoid such a development of events, a prompt review of the adopted technological solutions is necessary. To this end, as part of the methodology formation for technological processes engineering and intellectual support of railway construction, a system has been developed for regulating the technological processes implementation for the railway entity construction. The process regulation is based on the work execution monitoring results. Adjusting the technological process to changing work execution conditions flexibility in the railway track entity construction. This is achieved by choosing regulatory solutions using the artificial neural network capabilities and then adjusting the work progress. Based on the theoretical study results, the article presents the practical aspects of the work execution processes regulation implementation in railway construction using neural network technologies on the example of a flooded railway roadbed subgrade construction.

The results presented in the article were obtained in the course of a dissertation research carried out by the author.

Efficient Electrochemiluminescence Sensing in Microfluidic Biosensors: A Review
Authors: Louw Clementine Juliat , de Haan Pim , Verpoorte Elisabeth , Baker Priscilla
Published: December 2023

Microfluidic devices are capable of handling 10-9 L to 10-18 L of fluids by incorporating tiny channels with dimensions of ten to hundreds of micrometers, and they can be fabricated using a wide range of materials including glass, silicon, polymers, paper, and cloth for tailored sensing applications. Microfluidic biosensors integrated with detection methods such as electrochemiluminescence (ECL) can be used for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. Coupled with ECL, these tandem devices are capable of sensing biomarkers at nanomolar to picomolar concentrations, reproducibly. Measurement at this low level of concentration makes microfluidic electrochemiluminescence (MF-ECL) devices ideal for biomarker detection in the context of early warning systems for diseases such as myocardial infarction, cancer, and others. However, the technology relies on the nature and inherent characteristics of an efficient luminophore. The luminophore typically undergoes a redox process to generate excited species which emit energy in the form of light upon relaxation to lower energy states. Therefore, in biosensor design the efficiency of the luminophore is critical. This review is focused on the integration of microfluidic devices with biosensors and using electrochemiluminescence as a detection method. We highlight the dual role of carbon quantum dots as a luminophore and co-reactant in electrochemiluminescence analysis, drawing on their unique properties that include large specific surface area, easy functionalization, and unique luminescent properties.

This paper examines the way author reveals subjectivity in our current post-modern society and interference of a technological influx that overtakes contemporary life. It analyzes the process by which our interdependence in machines, electronic devices have made them an extension of his own body and soul creating distorted view of technology as “another religion”.
Nature Conservation Druzhiny of Soviet Universities in the 1970s and 1980s: Activities and Survival Strategies for the Informals in the Late Soviet Society
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Lee B.
Published: December 2023

Nature conservation druzhiny of soviet universities, which fi rst appeared in Moscow in 1960, became by the 1970s a widespread organizational form for young men and women who hoped to contribute to saving the environment. Although these groups remained offi cially non-registered until the year 1987 – “informals” in a broader sense – they did not necessarily oppose the state or state-affi liated public organizations, and successfully secured themselves with factual recognition of the latter. The university students could carry out various public activities by using their relationship with the institutions of state environmental protection, such as the Komsomol and VOOP. Their work included such missions as preservation and planning of nature reserves, campaign against poachers. These activities were often accompanied by contact with local administrations. Moreover, the students rallied around the Moscow druzhina and its Komsomol protection to form an all-union movement of like-minded student groups, which came to around 4,000 members working around the nation by 1985. The mechanism of utilizing soviet sociopolitical system demonstrated by the university druzhiny can be called a phenomenon peculiar to the late-soviet society.
