Authors: Lastrucci Lorenzo , Saiani Daniele , Mugnai Alessio , Ferretti Giulio , Viciani Daniele
Published: June 2024

The first results of a herbariological study on the genus Callitriche L. at the Central Italian Herbarium (Herbarium Centrale Italicum) of the Museum of Natural History of the University of Florence are presented. This genus represents a critical group from a systematic and taxonomic point of view, as the diagnostic characters mainly consist in details of the reproductive structures that are difficult to observe and interpret. The herbarium specimens represent a material suitable for study only if they have anthers and especially ripe fruits. The study of these samples has brought to light the presence of material from newly reported locations for various Italian regions. In some cases, the reports derive from original new revisions, in other cases they are the result of the discovery and confirmation of previous revisions not incorporated by the modern Italian floras.
Studies on the genus Atriplex (Chenopodiaceae) in Italy. IX. Atriplex mollis and note on its occurrence in continental Europe
Authors: Iamonico Duilio
Published: June 2024

The typification of the name Atriplex mollis, validly published by R. L. Desfontaines in Flora Atlantica, is discussed. A specimen deposited at G (barcode G00386803) is designated as the lectotype of the name. The distribution in Europe of the species is also discussed. It was indicated for Sardinia only (Italy, Southern Europe) in a single locality (San Paolo pond, Cagliari Province). No specimen that proves the occurrence of the species in Sardinia is in extant. Moreover, the overlapping of a map published in 1912 and the current satellite images, allowed to verify that the area in which A. mollis grew up, including wetlands at the beginning of the XX century, is currently almost totally covered by buildings and commercial/industrial sites. In other words, the habitat where the species occurred was destroyed. As a consequence, at the current state of knowledge, the species is here assessed as extinct (EX) at national level according to the IUCN categories.
Is Divorce a Window to Freedom?
Authors: Zhupnik Olesya
Published: June 2024

В статье предложен социально-философский анализ феномена развода как расторжения самых тесных взаимоотношений, существующих в обществе - отношений между мужем и женой, между родителями и детьми. Производится попытка критического осмысления современных общественных позиций по отношению к браку как «ограничивающим свободу узам», а к разводу, как «окну в свободу», изучения мотивов развода и поиска путей преодоления расторжения брака. Приводятся доводы в пользу брака как сообщества, защищающего внутреннюю и внешнюю свободу индивида. Указываются негативные последствия расторжения брака для супругов, детей и всего общества. Настоящее исследование проведено, исходя из сочетания социально-философского анализа и междисциплинарного подхода, с соблюдением принципов системности, развития и взаимосвязи явлений реальности. Используется сравнительно-исторический, сравнительно-сопоставительный и структурно-функциональный анализ. На основании данных авторского регионального исследования в Крыму исследуются мотивы разводов, среди которых выделяются: проблемы мировоззренческого и личностного характера, разногласие в представлениях о семейных ролях, неготовность одного из супругов к рождению ребёнка, семейно-бытовые проблемы, жилищный вопрос. К современным условиям адаптируется модель укрепления брака Дж. Левингера, которая заключается в увеличении привлекательности брака главным образом благодаря формированию в масс-медиа и кинематографе положительного образа и преимуществ, порождаемых устойчивостью семьи; уменьшении привлекательности альтернативных отношений («гражданский брак»); увеличении числа препятствий на пути к разводу. Выводы исследования также свидетельствуют, что восходящий тренд разводимости и нисходящий тренд брачевания представляют собой своеобразные «ножницы», урезающие институт семьи.
The Illusion of Remuneration and the Reality of its Exploitation
Authors: Matskulyak Ivan
Published: June 2024

Исследования разных аспектов оплаты труда при капитализме достаточно многообразны, в отличие от эксплуатации труда в отечественных условиях. Цель публикации - обобщение глубинной сути заработной платы и тенденций эксплуатации труда капиталом, привлечение внимания субъектов данных процессов для принятия необходимых регулирующих мер. Объектом изучения определена система участников основного звена общественного производства капиталистической экономики. Предметом статьи являются социально-трудовые отношения между наёмными работниками и работодателями по поводу заработной платы одних и их эксплуатации другими. Её методологическая база включает методы контент-анализа научных наблюдений, сравнений (сопоставлений), логического обобщения, диалектиеского и комплексного подхода, объясняющие сущностное и поверхностное восприятие функционирования наёмных работников и собственников капитала, или их представителей-предпринимателей относительно купли-продажи наёмной рабочей силы, включения её в процесс труда и расчёта между ними. В числе новых результатов - развенчание устоявшегося мнения о том, что заработная плата выплачивается якобы за выполненный труд и обоснование данного явления в качестве иллюзии, фетиша. В действительности собственник условий производства оплачивает наёмному работнику лишь долг за купленную у него рабочую силу, которая поучаствовала в процессе труда по созданию товара (услуги). Новым является и обоснование реальности эксплуатации труда капиталом, обобщение соответствующих тенденций в западной и отечественной экономиках. Дано также новое представление о совершенствовании данного процесса и его дальнейшей трансформации в пользу наёмного труда. Теоретическая и практическая значимость исследования состоит в том, что представленное понимание иллюзорности оплаты труда и реальности его эксплуатации, безусловно, полезно как предприятиям, заинтересованным в модернизации собственных стратегий развития, так и формирования программ достижения намеченных рубежей, а также государственным (муниципальным) органам различного уровня власти и структурам высшей школы Минобрнауки РФ.
Creative Class and Creative Work: Interrelation, Exploitation and Contradictions of Development
Authors: Stepanova Tamara
Published: June 2024

Развитие креативной экономики - одно из самых популярных направлений экономической теории и экономической политики на протяжении трёх десятилетий. Несмотря на постоянный рост креативного класса и государственные меры по поддержке креативного сектора размер креативной экономики остаётся на уровне 3% в среднем по миру. Цель данной статьи - показать противоречия и ограничительные факторы развития креативного класса. Аргументация и выводы статьи базируются преимущественно на политэкономическом подходе. Основными информационными источниками исследования являются следующие базы статистических данных: Росстат, ILOSTAT (занятость по профессиональным группам). Представленные в работе теоретические и эмпирические умозаключения доказывают, что количественный рост креативного класса не тождественен его качественному развитию; что статистическое измерение креативного класса через занятость в креативных индустриях существенно искажает первоначальное значение категории творческий труд и в несколько раз занижает реальную численность креативных профессионалов; что неравномерное развитие креативного класса среди стран обусловлено с одной стороны неравенством в экономическом развитии и интеллектуальной миграцией из периферийных государств в центр - с другой; что объединение креативных профессионалов в класс не имеет под собой экономических оснований ввиду незаконченности формирования социально-экономической стратификации; что творческое содержание труда при капиталистическом способе производства не снимает отчуждение прибавочной стоимости, и эксплуатация креативного труда приобретает новую форму - отчуждение прав интеллектуальной собственности и последующей интеллектуальной ренты.

Authors: Kiyanovsky Artem , Hurenok Halyna
Published: June 2024

The article describes the experience of the rehabilitation work of an educational institution located in the town of Kherson, which survived the occupation and is now subjected to shelling and bombing every single day. All the participants in the educational process need psychological and pedagogical rehabilitation, regardless of age or location.
These rehabilitation measures primarily concern children. Some of these events can be held remotely. Various educational and creative projects (circles, self-governance committees, «1000 Friends» School Internet Radio, a Theatre Studio, «Our Talents» contests, audio abstracts, scientific experiments, etc.) charge the educational process with creative activity and positive emotions, and create a situation of success for every student. Since most of these projects existed even before the war, the students have a sense of a normal routine, which helps them to cope with traumatic experiences and is extremely important for children with special educational needs.
In one of the buildings of the described institution, a safe educational environment for mixed learning has been created – the «Center for Psychological Assistance to Children». It is attended by students who currently live with their parents in Kherson. In addition to consultations on educational subjects, children receive consultations with a psychologist, classes with elements of art therapy, music therapy, and most importantly, they have the opportunity to communicate directly with each other and with teachers in a safe place.
Webinars, group and individual consultations are held for adult participants in the educational process – parents, teachers, psychological service specialists.
The effectiveness and the quality of the educational process during military operations is impossible without a psychological and pedagogical rehabilitation of all the participants in this process. The effectiveness of the described rehabilitation measures gives reason to make a conclusion about the need for such systematic and comprehensive work in educational institutions of Ukraine, in particular those located in front-line communities.

Authors: O. U. Odoemela , G. E. Ibelegbu , C. C. Ulonnamefula
Published: June 2024

This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 on the efficiency of Nigerian banks. The study especially examined the effects of COVID-19 on the capital adequacy ratio (CAR), asset quality, management quality, earning potential, and liquidity of Nigeria's money deposit banks (MDBs) both before and after the outbreak. The project employed a longitudinal survey research approach. Data was taken from the banks under study's audited financial statements for the years 2017 through 2020. The descriptive statistics of percentage and bar charts were utilised in analysing the financial figures while the Sample T-test and the Wilcoxon Statistical Test were used via SPSS in testing the formulated hypotheses. Following a series of empirical tests, it was discovered that banks' capacity to generate money and the quality of their assets both increased more during the COVID-19 epidemic. The outcome also demonstrates that banks' capital adequacy (CAR), management effectiveness, and liquidity were most significantly impacted by the COVID-19 problem as their values declined in comparison to before the epidemic. Consequently, the study recommended that banks should plan and prepare for eventualities like that of the COVID-19 in the future so as to be better prepared in innovating new measures to run and sustain their operations in the face of such eventualities.

Authors: Park Jun Hyeong , Rim Jinu , Kim Jun hyung , Jung Hyun Ho , Yu Jung Woo , Chang Won Seok
Published: June 2024

Pituitary adenoma (PA) is a benign tumor that arises from the anterior pituitary gland. PA is categorized into non-functioning and functional types, and each type requires specific treatment strategies. While transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) remains the first choice of PA management, its limitations necessitate adjunctive therapies such as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), particularly in cases of residual or recurrent tumors. In this review, we explore the role of SRS in PA, particularly emphasizing its complementary nature with TSS treatment. Additionally, predictive factors and therapeutic considerations in SRS, including tumor volume and hormonal remission criteria, are discussed in relation to various types of functional PAs. Although SRS offers promising outcomes, it is crucial to address potential adverse effects such as hypopituitarism and visual complications, particularly in cases of radiation-induced necrosis and internal carotid artery injuries. Treatment planning strategies to avoid adverse effects are highlighted to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.
Review of Social Sector Expenditures of States at Aggregate Level in India
Authors: Dalal Manju
Published: June 2024

In the present study, an attempt is made to examine the impact of state finances on some major social indicators of society, like health, education, water supply, sanitation, etc. Economic development not only considers the increase in real per capita income, but it also necessarily includes changes in social welfare indicators along with the change in economic indicators. Improvements in social indicators also exhibit the role, planning, and effective and efficient implementation of policies by the government mechanism. Therefore, it becomes a must to examine the impacts of economic indicators on the social indicators of the economy. Due to some limitations, this paper explains the pattern of expenditure on some important components of the social sector for states at the aggregate level. Secondary data and simple statistical tools like ratios and percentages have been used to explain the impact of state finances on some important indicators of society. A study found that capital expenditure on social services has been less than revenue expenditure, which demands the focus of government on the prioritization of development policies and an effective implementation system.

Narrating The Self: Identity Quests in Linda Grant's Novels
Authors: Begum Chandni , Jha Karunesh
Published: June 2024

This research paper focuses on identity quests in Linda Grant’s novels. This paper explores the complex web of identity development that Linda Grant's novels weave together. With an emphasis on the subtle stories that shed light on the characters' travels, the study makes its way across the tricky terrain of self-discovery found in Grant's literary works. The study deconstructs the complex layers of identity quests that Grant's protagonists undertake through a close reading of important works, such as "The Clothes on Their Backs" and "When I Lived in Modern Times." The investigation covers how the characters' perceptions of themselves are shaped by the interaction of their personal histories, cultural surroundings, and societal forces. The study explains how Grant's books function as rich canvases on which the characters paint their stories of identity by drawing on a variety of theoretical frameworks. Grant's protagonists go on significant self-discovery journeys that connect with readers universally, whether they are navigating the complexities of personal relationships, dealing with the legacy of family, or facing historical upheavals. By closely analysing narrative strategies, character growth, and thematic motifs, this study seeks to advance knowledge of how Linda Grant uses the novel to delve into the complexities of the human psyche. By doing this, it illuminates the author's unique storytelling style, in which the search for identity serves as a major theme and encourages readers to consider their own paths of self-discovery. In the end, this investigation aims to present Linda Grant's works as engrossing and perceptive analyses of the nuances present in the process of forming and describing the self.
MHD with Viscosity Variation and Velocity Slip between Rough Porous Conical Bearings using Couple Stress Fluid
Authors: S Sangeetha
Published: June 2024

In this study, the effect of velocity slip with viscosity variation using MHD couple stress fluid between rough porous conical bearings is analysed. The modified Reynolds equation is solved with appropriate boundary conditions in dimensionless form to find the pressure distribution which is then used to obtain the expression for load carrying capacity paving the way for the calculation of response time. Numerical computations of the results shows that the MHD on the conical bearings indicate that the slip velocity enhances the pressure distribution and the load carrying capacity of the conical bearings. Also, the effect of roughness parameter is to increase(decrease) the load carrying capacity and the response time for azimuthal (radial) roughness.

Authors: Govind Shantaram Dhage
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Spur gears are important for transferring motion and power among shafts. The surface characteristics of these gears are important for their life and smooth operation. To improve profitability and customer satisfaction, a study was conducted to analyze the surface quality of spur gears produced through CNC hobbing machining.
Objectives: The objective this investigation is to conduct experimental trials to estimate the best hobbing parameters to minimize surface roughness and microgeometric deviations. In this investigation, effect of varying cutting speed and feed rate on surface finish have been reported.
Methods: An experiment are conducted according to Taguchi L9 experimental design.  Grey Relational Analysis is performed to estimate the optimum machining parameters.
Results: The experimental finding reveals, at cutting speed 400 rpm, the feed rate 8 mm/min, and depth of cut 3.91 mm gives good quality of surface (Ra 0.5530). The gear hobbing process has increased to a greater level of performance. The roughness of the flank surface and microgeometry deviations decreases with an increase in hob cutter speed.
Conclusions: This ultimately reduces the inherent vibrations between the hob cutter and the gear blank, thus minimizing microgeometric deviations. The variation in feed rate was noticed and had a very significant impact on the efficiency and surface quality of the gear. The study recommends that a cutting speed of 400 rpm is the most effective for obtaining the best results.

The surge in mobile users and online applications, particularly video streaming, is indeed fueling a significant increase in global data traffic. To accommodate this growth while ensuring fast data rates, it's crucial to optimize data transmission with limited resources. Balancing high data throughput with lower power consumption is essential for network efficiency without compromising Quality of Service (QoS).
 In our research, we focus on enhancing data transmission efficiency between base stations and multiple users. Our approach revolves around transmitting data only when there's a demand or explicit user request, a strategy aimed at conserving power. By doing so, we achieve substantial energy savings, leading to decreased energy consumption and improved energy efficiency.
Central to our methodology is an optimized power control transmission mechanism. This ensures that data rates and QoS requirements are met while maximizing energy efficiency (EE). By dynamically adjusting power levels based on transmission needs, we strike an optimal balance between throughput and power consumption.
Our findings underscore the significance of adaptive power control strategies in modern wireless networks. By intelligently managing resources and minimizing unnecessary transmissions, we pave the way for sustainable network growth and enhanced user experiences.

Predicting liver function after hemihepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma using different modalities
Authors: Taherifard Erfan , Saeed Anwaar
Published: June 2024

In response to Dr. Yue et al 's study on prognostic factors for post-hemihepatectomy outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, this critical review identifies methodological limitations and proposes enhancements for future research. While the study identifies liver stiffness measure and standard residual liver volume as potential predictors, concerns regarding small sample size, reliance on biochemical markers for safety assessment, and inadequate adjustment for confounding variables are raised. Recommendations for rigorous methodology, including robust statistical analysis, consideration of confounding factors, and selection of outcome measures with clinical components, are proposed to strengthen prognostic assessments. Furthermore, validation of novel evaluation models is crucial for enhancing clinical applicability and advancing understanding of postoperative outcomes in patients with HCC undergoing hemihepatectomy.

Published: June 2024

Image-to-image translation is the process of transforming images from different domains. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely used in image translation. This study aims to find the most effective loss function for GAN architectures and synthesize better images. For this, experimental results were obtained by changing the loss functions on the Pix2Pix method, one of the basic GAN architectures. The exist loss function used in the Pix2Pix method is the Mean Absolute Error (MAE). It is called the L_1metric. In this study, the effect of convolutional-based perceptual similarity CONTENT, LPIPS, and DISTS metrics on image-to-image translation was applied on the loss function in Pix2Pix architecture. In addition, the effects on image-to-image translation were analyzed using perceptual similarity metrics ( L_1_CONTENT, L_1_LPIPS, and L_1_DISTS) with the original L_1 loss at a rate of 50%. Performance analyzes of the methods were performed with the Cityscapes, Denim2Mustache, Maps, and Papsmear datasets. Visual results were analyzed with conventional (FSIM, HaarPSI, MS-SSIM, PSNR, SSIM, VIFp and VSI) and up-to-date (FID and KID) image comparison metrics. As a result, it has been observed that better results are obtained when convolutional-based methods are used instead of conventional methods for the loss function of GAN architectures. It has been observed that LPIPS and DISTS methods can be used in the loss function of GAN architectures in the future

Published: June 2024

The stress strain state, as well as the process of formation of structure and features of aluminium alloys at hot extrusion are investigated. It has been shown that during hot extrusion, the ring layers of an extruded element experience not only longitudinal and transverse deformations but also a slip. The slip increases at passing from inner layers to the surface. The tensile principal stresses and the sum of slip deformations also increase. It has been also shown that at the exit of the pressing part, the tensile principal stresses have different directions, forming an angle with the extruder axis, which also increases towards the surface. As a conclusion, it has been stated that the main radial and circumferential deformations act as restraining deformations.

Authors: MANUKYAN L.A. , HOVAKIMYAN V.V.
Published: June 2024

By implementing 3D physical modeling investigations, the maximum height of the non-exposed mountain slope extending over the last bench of the open-pit overall slope in loading conditions, as an example of the South-West wall of the Qajaran open-pit mine “Zangezur MMC” CJSC is considered, in which the extended rock masses affect the stress-strain state of the inter-wall rock mass.
The problem is solved by using the constructed 3D physical modeling stand consists of lower immobile and upper moveable prisms. By considering the open-pit wall and the non-exposed mountain rock mass as one geomechanical environment, assessing the critical slip surface by using the well-known stability analysis software, the maximum height of the mountain slope is determined. It is shown that the natural mountain slope, extending above the last bench of the open-pit wall does not impact on the stress-strain field, and hence the stability, of the inter-wall rock mass of its overall height.

Authors: BAGHDASARYAN A.T. , MAMYAN S.V.
Published: June 2024

For the conditions of the exploited copper-molybdenum deposit, the maximum depth for calculating reserves is justified. The maximum depth for calculating reserves is the optimal depth of the quarry created for the exploitation of these reserves, which is determined by the condition of equality of the boundary and contour stripping ratios. By comparing the calculated values of the latter, the maximum depth for calculating reserves is determined.

The ability to recognize unknown or rare words, such as technical terms and names, is crucial for speech recognition technology to accurately comprehend conversations in context. Nonetheless, current end-to-end speech recognition models often have difficulty in recognizing words that are rarely or never seen during training. This paper examines the effectiveness of different keyword biasing methods, as well as their modifications outlined in previous studies, which do not require any modifications to the ASR model.
