Evidence-based Practice in Rehabilitation Counseling: Perceptions and Practices
Authors: Bezyak Jill L. , Kubota Coleen , Rosenthal David
Published: December 2024

This study describes certified rehabilitation counselors' attitudes (n=163) about evidence-based practice, knowledge and skills related to obtaining and evaluating evidence, use of literature in practice, availability of information, and perceived barriers to evidence-based practice. Responses related to knowledge and skills were mixed with strong confidence reported in the ability to review professional literature and address clinical questions but less confidence in adequate academic preparation to use evidence-based practice. Perceived barriers to evidence-based practice were identified, including insufficient time and difficulty applying research to current practice. Implications for practice, education, and professional development are discussed.
Reconciling Evidenced-Based Research Practice with Rehabilitation Philosophy, Ethics and Practice: From Dichotomy to Dialectic
Authors: Tarvydas Vilia , Addy Amanda , Fleming Allison
Published: December 2024

The recent shift in the helping professions to the implementation of evidenced-based practice (EBP) presents challenges to the field of rehabilitation counseling, most notably in the areas of integrating rehabilitation philosophy, ethics, and the relationship between research and practice. A dichotomy between the history and the future of the field within EBP has created tension for rehabilitation counseling researchers and practitioners. Rehabilitation philosophy, ethics and practice as well as the medically based framework of EBP and how this may be contributing to dichotomous perceptions within the field will be examined. A more robust interpretive framework is presented to assist in the reconciliation of this dichotomy in order to promote a more dialectic interpretation of EBP.
Impact not Efficacy: Applying the RE-AIM Framework to Rehabilitation Counseling Research
Authors: Strauser David R. , Wong Alex W. K.
Published: December 2024

Developing an evidence-based practice approach has been advocated for in rehabilitation counseling research. However, the evidence-based practice approach which focuses primarily on intervention efficacy is theoretically flawed which limits its application to rehabilitation counseling research. Specifically, evidence-based practice research does not address the important construct of external validity. In this paper, the RE-AIM evaluation model is introduced as a comprehensive model that takes into account both internal and external validity. After the model is introduced, the authors provide a brief example of how the RE-AIM model can be applied to rehabilitation counseling research. Recommendations for rehabilitation counseling research, funding organizations, and journal editors are provided.
An Introduction to Community-Based Participatory Research
Authors: Hergenrather Kenneth C. , Geishecker Steve , McGuire-Kuletz Maureen , Gitlin David J. , Rhodes Scott D.
Published: December 2024

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has emerged as an approach designed to promote community health and well-being through the establishment and maintenance of research partnerships between communities and academic researchers. Rather than the academic researcher assuming what is best for a community, CBPR utilizes community partnerships to establish full and equal participation in research by community members, organizational representatives, and academic researchers. CBPR emphasizes co-learning, reciprocal transfer of expertise, and sharing of decision-making power. In this article, we introduce CBPR within the context of rehabilitation research, outline some of the essentials for conducting a CBPR study, and apply CBPR in the research process. A CBPR case study is provided.

Published: December 2024

The process and importance of Knowledge Translation (KT) for the field of rehabilitation counseling is described. One element of the KT process, systematic reviews of the literature, is described along with several strategies for grading evidence. Practicing clinicians, as do consumers, encounter a number of barriers to using primary source research. Rehabilitation counselors need access to the best evidence available to inform their clinical practice. Consumers of rehabilitation counseling services require high quality accessible information about evidence to support their informed decision making about participating in rehabilitation programs.

Authors: Ribeiro Nicolaidis Thais , Da Silva Nunes Cruz Carolinne , Pimentel Freitas Marina , Araujo de Jesus Aline , Salmazo da Silva Henrique , Rezende Freitas Eduarda
Published: December 2024

O avanço da pandemia de COVID-19 ocorreu concomitantemente ao das informações sobre a doença e o vírus, que foram difundidas de forma rápida pelos meios de comunicação. Esse volume excessivo de informações, verdadeiras e falsas, conhecido por infodemia, pode provocar desinformação, pânico e outros agravos à saúde mental. A partir desse cenário, este estudo investigou os sinais e sintomas somáticos, comportamentais, cognitivos e emocionais experimentados por pessoas idosas a partir da exposição a informações sobre a COVID-19, bem como possíveis associações entre eles e o perfil sociodemográfico. Foram investigadas 154 pessoas entre 60 e 90 anos, residentes no Distrito Federal, por meio de formulário eletrônico divulgado em 2020. Correlações significativas, positivas e fracas foram obtidas entre 20 sinais e sintomas e exposição a informações sobre a COVID-19 pela televisão, 13 sinais e sintomas e exposição a informações sobre a doença pelas redes sociais e 4 sinais e sintomas e exposição sobre a COVID-19 pelo rádio. A diminuição da vontade de fazer sexo e o aperto no peito estiveram negativamente correlacionados com a idade, ao passo que houve maior consumo de álcool ou tabaco nos homens e maior prevalência de cansaço e medo de que pessoas queridas morressem nas mulheres. A partir desses resultados, é possível afirmar que a infodemia de COVID-19 contribuiu para desencadear ou agravar sinais e sintomas na população idosa no contexto pandêmico. É de extrema importância conhecer como as informações afetam pessoas na velhice para que sejam planejadas as melhores maneiras de transmiti-las, bem como de mitigar suas consequências.
The State Policy of the Russian Federation in Relation to the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1992–2013. The Organizational and Legal Aspect
Authors: Fil’ Marina
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the legal policy of the Russian Federation in relation to the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) over the period from 1992 to 2013. During those years, the RAS – transformed from the USSR Academy of Sciences – was working under conditions of reforming the political, economic and legal system of the country. This affected the relationship between the Russian authorities and the Academy. The author analyzes two directions of the state policy pursued in relation to the RAS: organizational modernization (restructuring) and determining an organizational and legal form (form of a legal entity) for the RAS. These directions of the state policy were aimed at defining the rights and powers of the Russian Academy of Sciences as a subject of legal relations.
Russian Science in the OpenAlex System of Open Scientific Knowledge
Authors: Redkina Natalya
Published: December 2024

OpenAlex is an actively developing open access resource and a promising alternative to commercial sources of bibliometric data. It is aimed at supporting open research practices and transforming the information ecosystem of global science. The current study is an analysis of the total array of publications presented on the OpenAlex platform, as well as a more detailed study of Russian researchers’ works indexed in this system of open scientific knowledge. To achieve this goal, information was collected, processed and arranged by years of publication, types and most relevant research topics, publishers, availability of datasets, citation rates (>50), their subject area distribution and other parameters. The study resulted in obtaining ready-made visualized data that made it possible to analyze publications written by Russian researchers in comparison with foreign sources, as well as to find out citation patterns, problems and prospects for science to enter the open science infrastructure. The share of publications by Russian researchers in the total array as of July 1, 2024 was no more than 1% (2,398,923), with a predominance of scientific articles in the flow. However, a significant increase in the number of publications has been recorded in the last two years. It is noted that an effective representation in the growing flow of open data and publications is possible through the popularization of open science ideas among researchers and the integration of Russian resources into the global open access information system. This will improve visibility, increase the impact of research results and citation rate of works, expand the geography of the readership and allow receiving other benefits of open access. The author concludes that OpenAlex can be used as an information resource to search for heterogeneous information and an alternative tool for bibliometric analysis. This is especially important for Russian researchers in the context of limited access to foreign licensed databases.
How I Defended a PhD Thesis (A Story about Preserving One’s Views)
Authors: Chasova Valeriya
Published: December 2024

The article thoroughly describes and analyzes my experience of being a PhD student in philosophy of physics abroad, interesting by its interlingual, interdisciplinary and international aspectsб but also by the evolution of the relationships of the PhD student with the supervisor which raises plenty of descriptive and normative questions related to research. In the first part of the article, the description proceeds in an autobiographical manner. The supervisor was first impressed by my capacities, but then got annoyed by my topic change, my independence and my proof for the new topic. In response I elaborated the preconditions of the proof by myself, tested my results at a major conference and obtained a second place at a competition for my article about them. I thus managed to defend the PhD thesis and to keep normal relationships with the supervisor, by contrast to the comparable story of Hugh Everett who left academia. In the second part of the article, an analysis of both organizational and individual sides of this experience is provided in the same chronological order. On the one hand, I address the material thematically, covering such aspects as interdisciplinarity, international moves and research visits, the roles of conferences, competitions and societies, as well as publication models and PhD defenses. On the other hand, I also return to major themes from the autobiography, such as the change of my research topic, the creation and fate of my writings and the evolution of the supervisor’s attitude towards my key result (the proof). Details on my research and the nature of our controversy about the proof are presented. I end up with revisiting the strategy of my relationships with the supervisor in light of examples from the history of physics (Everett’s story again, but now also Utiyama’s case with Yang and Mills).
FACTORS INFLUENCING VALUE ADDED TAX IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Authors:   Faculty of Business and Economics, South East University, Tetovo, North Macedonia, Bujupi Mjellma
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the influence of different VAT components, specifically VAT inside the country and VAT at the border on the overall VAT as a percentage of GDP in Kosovo from 2002 to 2022. Using multiple linear regressions, the analysis finds that both VAT inside and VAT at the border strongly correlate with the total VAT revenue as a percentage of GDP. However, VAT at the border has a slightly more significant impact, suggesting a higher dependence on VAT collected through imports. These findings imply that policies aimed at increasing exports while reducing imports could enhance local production and, consequently, economic growth. The study is limited by its focus on VAT components without considering other economic factors or countries. Nevertheless, the results provide valuable insights for policymakers and researchers interested in optimizing tax revenue strategies.
Exploring phase transitions in CdSe: a machine learning and swarm intelligence approach
Authors: Wang Meiyan , Rao Rishi , Zhu Li
Published: December 2024

The phase transition of cadmium selenide (CdSe) from wurtzite to rocksalt structure has been the subject of extensive research. In this study, we present a novel approach combining machine learning potentials with swarm intelligence-based pathway sampling to elucidate the complex phase transition mechanisms in CdSe. We developed an accurate machine-learning (ML) potential for CdSe, validated against density functional theory calculations, achieving mean absolute errors (MAEs) of 1.8 meV/atom for energies and 33 meV/Å for forces. This potential was integrated with the pathway sampling via swarm intelligence and graph theory (PALLAS) method to explore the potential energy landscape and identify low-energy transition pathways. Our simulations revealed a complex network of transition pathways, and we discovered a multi-step transition mechanism involving an unexpected zinc blende intermediate phase, which appears to play a crucial role in facilitating the transition between wurtzite and rocksalt structures. This finding provides new insights into the structural flexibility of CdSe and offers an explanation for experimentally observed phenomena such as wurtzite/zinc blende coexistence in nanostructures. Our approach not only advances the fundamental understanding of phase transitions in CdSe but also establishes a powerful computational framework for exploring complex materials phenomena, opening new avenues for materials design and discovery in semiconductor systems.

It is imperative to research the science process skills of prospective physics teachers in higher education to improve the quality of physics education, support curriculum development, and enhance student understanding. This study examines the research trends regarding the science process skills of prospective physics teachers in physics education at higher education institutions. The review of journal publications from 2019 to 2023 was conducted using content analysis, a qualitative method. A total of 24 journal articles focusing on the science process skills of prospective physics teachers in higher education were identified through Publish or Perish, using the Google Scholar and Scopus databases between 2019 and 2023. The analysis steps included framing review questions, identifying relevant research, assessing study quality, summarizing evidence, and conducting data analysis. The results showed that research on the science process skills of prospective physics teachers has been prevalent since 2019, with quantitative research dominating the field. Basic physics practicum courses are the primary focus for exploring students' science process skills, with tests being the most commonly used instruments. Several interventions, such as Project-Based Learning (PjBL), STEAM, Discovery, and Inquiry, have been implemented to enhance the science process skills of physics teacher candidates. Communication skills, a component of the 21st-century 4C skills, are particularly pertinent to the future challenges that educators will encounter, as evidenced by the science process skills examined in previous research. These skills are critical in fostering collaboration, problem-solving, and effective teaching. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of developing physics teacher candidates' science process skills, particularly communication skills, in higher education. Future research is expected to deepen the understanding and develop more effective learning strategies to improve these essential skills in physics teacher candidates.

Apart from that, the results of observing student activities in STEM-PjBL can be carried out very well. In this way, the STEM-PjBL module that has been developed is suitable for use in physics learning.
BRAND NARRATIVIZATION AS RECEPTIVE AESTHETICS: MULTIMODAL AND LINGUISTIC-SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS
Authors: Voloshchuk Iryna , Volkov Mykyta
Published: December 2024

The article aims to study the category of receptive branding aesthetics through multimodal and linguistic semiotic analysis of the narrativization of brand strategies. The article explores how linguistic (storytelling, taglines, slogans) and paralinguistic (logos, color schemes, fonts, tone, voice, etc.) means create receptive brand aesthetics as a multimodal phenomenon. Our research focuses on the multimodal and linguistic-semiotic analysis of brand communications, demonstrating how various linguistic and paralinguistic means shape the brand image and influence its perception by consumers. The article examines how multimodal narratives interact to create a receptive brand aesthetic. It also highlights the tactics through which consumers integrate these brand narratives into their own identities, emphasizing the importance of the receptive approach in the modern marketing environment. The main focus is on the study of integrated marketing communications, particularly how brands use linguistic and paralinguistic multi-semiotic systems to form both an emotional connection and an aesthetic impression on their audience.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CONCEPT OF CRISIS IN THE ENGLISH LINGUISTIC PICTURE OF THE WORLD
Authors: Pashkova Viktoriia , Baklazhenko Yuliia
Published: December 2024

The study of the organization of the conceptual space and the comparison of language pictures of the world of speakers of different languages has remained in the field of attention of linguists and translation scholars since the end of the 20th century. Researchers turn to the national and culturally specific aspects of the world picture of English speakers, which is a means of human communication, a tool for the transmission of thought, and also acts as a mirror of national culture. Today, a wide range of concepts is considered in linguistics. In particular, the study of the concept "CRISIS" is a relevant topic of cognitive semantics, which has acquired special importance during the period of intensification of world conflicts and global transformations. The concept of "CRISIS" is particularly relevant, as it is filled with many functional nuances, which are perceived differently and are reflected in various spheres of human life. The work provides a general description of the "CRISIS" concept and analyzes the specifics of its application in the English-language socio-political discourse. The material of the study was English-language mass media ("The Guardian", "The Times").
FUNCTIONS OF PRESENT-DAY POLITICAL DISCOURSE AND LINGUISTIC MEANS OF THEIR REALIZATION (A STUDY OF THE 2020 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DEBATES)
Authors: Vorobyova Olga , Tsokan Vira
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the functions of present-day political discourse and the means of their implementation in the context of the 2020 US Presidential election campaign. The study focuses on the key functions of political discourse, such as communicative, cognitive, persuasive, emotive, and aesthetic. The paper approaches political discourse as a powerful tool of influencing mass consciousness, which is achieved through rhetorical techniques, emotionally rich vocabulary, and expressive syntactic constructions. A special role in political discourse belongs to metaphors and other means of imagery, which jointly affect the perception of the audience and shape their political standing. The paper also highlights the significance of grammatical means, particularly personal pronouns and tense forms, in creating effective communication strategies. Given that political discourse is an important element in shaping public opinion, while influencing the citizens’ emotions and behaviour, the mechanisms of its construing and functioning require a further in-depth linguistic analysis.
TROPOLOGICAL STYLISTIC PERSPECTIVE OF RENDERING THE PATH TO GLORY MOTIF IN THE UKRAINIAN TRANSLATION OF ROBERT OPPENHEIMER’S BIOGRAPHY
Authors: Vorobyova Olga , Zhyrko Danylo
Published: December 2024

This paper highlights the ways tropological manifestations of the path to glory motif are rendered in the Ukrainian translation of Kai Bird & Martin Sherwin’s “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer”, a biography describing life peripetias of Robert Oppenheimer as the father of atomic bomb. The motivology of the path in terms of mythologemes and metaphorical imagery has recently attracted attention of researchers both in the genre of literary and documentary biographies. For this reason, the paper addressed the key metaphors as the path to glory motif markers, which were thematically grouped according to the topics of the hero’s life choice, his academic experience and communicative behaviour, particularly through the lens of intellectual contest and game. Each of the above groups of verbal metaphors correlates in the biographical writing under study with the respective conceptual metaphors, the latter highlighting sensory imagery, physical processes and states as manifestations of the authors’ and characters’ mind dynamism. All this requires generalisation and systematisation of the ways such metaphors were rendered in translation, while embracing a set of transformations – from concretisations and modulations to stylistic neutralisation.
IDEASTHESIA IN COMMUNICATION OF TECHNOLOGICAL IDEAS: LINGVO COGNITIVE APPROACH
Authors: Voloshchuk Iryna , Glinka Nataliia , Zarva Anastasiia
Published: December 2024

The article explores the cognitive concept of ideasthesia, which means sensing complex ideas or perceiving their meaning in communicating technological ideas, particularly in presentation (idea pitching). The research focuses on how sensory experiences influence the perception of complex concepts, examining the multimodal approach to idea communication in product presentations. By analyzing case studies of Bill Gates' TerraPower start-up and Apple's iPhone 16 presentation, the article demonstrates how the effective use of sensory-triggering language, multimodal visuals, and storytelling can enhance audience engagement and convey innovative concepts more persuasively. The authors emphasize the role of emotional sensations and multimodal presentations in creating impactful narratives that connect technological innovations with user experiences. The article highlights the importance of the stage from stimulating sensory pathways to concept formation in competitive startup communication, showing how companies can successfully bridge technical information with consumer-oriented messaging. Through examples of visual storytelling, emotional engagement, and multimodal demos, the study illustrates how ideasthesia enhances the cognitive impact of technological ideas on target audiences. The findings contribute to understanding how startups and technological companies can utilize cognitive science to improve the persuasiveness of their communication strategies and foster stronger connections with consumers, investors, and partners.
MULTIMODALITY OF MODERN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE ADVERTISING TEXT
Authors: Vashchylo Olha , Andrusiv Yurii
Published: December 2024

The multimodality of a modern English-language advertising text is a complex combination of verbal, visual, spatial and auditory elements that provides a holistic impact on the audience by integrating various sensory modes to maximize communication effectiveness. This synergistic interaction of modes gives advertising messages the ability to enhance both cognitive and emotional perception, stimulating positive associations that contribute to brand memorability and loyalty. This article discusses the theoretical foundations of multimodality, in particular the concepts of “modus” and “multimodal communication”, as well as their application in the field of advertising as key elements of modern communication. The methods of combining multimodal components that make advertising messages vivid and emotionally rich are described. The effectiveness of integrating different modes (verbal, visual, audio, spatial) in advertising, which creates unique impressions and evokes an emotional response from consumers, which is one of the main factors influencing decision-making, is analyzed. Translation of multimodal advertising texts requires not only linguistic transformation, but also a careful approach to the adaptation of all components that form the overall impression of the message. For example, translators have to take into account the semantics of visual elements that may have different cultural meanings in the source and target languages, as well as the symbolic role of colors, fonts, composition, and audio effects. In addition, audio modes, such as tone, background music, or sound effects, can create a certain mood and maintain the overall atmosphere of a message, which also requires adaptation to the cultural context of the target audience. The article highlights the challenges that translators face when reproducing multimodal advertising texts into Ukrainian. During the translation of advertising texts, it is important to take into account cultural specifics, pay attention to the peculiarities of translating idiomatic expressions, and preserve the style of the original.

Prospects for further research consist in expanded knowledge in the field of localization and marketing from the point of view of an interdisciplinary aspect, the development of recommendations for improving the efficiency and quality of translation of technical communication in the construction industry. The article can be beneficial for specialists working in the field of production and sale of building materials and construction in general.
ESP LESSON STRUCTURE AND PLANNING CHALLANGES IN TERTIARY EDUCATION
Authors: Olizko Yuliia , Volkova Olena , Henriquez Leontes
Published: December 2024

The basic components of a lesson plan are reviewed in the article. Key terms utilised to define structural elements of a lesson plan used in the British TEFL and American TESOL methodology were analysed and compared. It was confirmed that despite some differences in names, the basic components of a lesson plan in both methodologies are aimed at activating prior students’ knowledge, equipping students with valid contact and examples, and ensuring their controlled and free practice. Using this model, a sample lesson plan for students studying English for academic purposes on the topic “Starting your PhD” was developed and critically analysed in the discussion section. Keeping lesson objectives communicative was one of the problems noticed as teachers often choose technical meta-linguistic objectives focusing on particular grammar components instead of communicative ones. Focusing on form was identified as a common dilemma in lesson plans and instructions. On one side it contradicts the communicative approach while on the other hand avoiding it is quite challenging in tertiary education where formal assessment is required. Another problem is providing students with good lead-in contexts relevant to lesson objectives. Additional challenges were related to the principle of active students’ engagement and teaching in mixed-ability classes. It is impossible to highlight all these cases in the lesson plan and provide teachers with all possible solutions. Another challenge observed was the perception of plans by other teachers. In most cases, lesson plans are developed by teachers for particular institutions, student levels, and specialities. Understanding all procedures of the lesson including proper instructions to be followed can be challenging for other teachers. As a prospect of this research, technological progress in lesson planning should be studied, in particular, the analysis of AI-generated lesson plans in terms of their relevance, possible adaptation and improvement.
LINGUISTIC, STYLISTIC, FUNCTIONAL AND PRAGMATIC FEATURES OF ENGLISH POPULAR TEXTS AND THEIR TRANSLATION INTO UKRAINIAN (BASED ON TED TALKS)
Authors: Sotnykov Andrii , Zagorodniy Matvii
Published: December 2024

Given the widespread use of the TED platform for the dissemination of scientific knowledge, certain requirements are imposed on lecture texts, which determine the choice of linguistic means, the use of non-verbal communication tools, and the impact on the target audience. This article discusses the results of a master's thesis on the linguistic, stylistic, functional and pragmatic features of English-language popular science texts and their translation into Ukrainian. The objectives of the study were to analyse the linguistic and stylistic features of English-language TED talks, identify the functional and pragmatic characteristics of such speeches, describe translation strategies for translating popular science texts, study the specifics of adapting cultural and social allusions in translation, etc.  To achieve this goal, the following main research methods were used: induction, analysis, deduction and the method of quantitative counts to assess the frequency of use of certain linguistic techniques in texts, lexical and semantic analysis to identify specific linguistic means that provide pragmatic impact. The popular science discourse, which includes TED talks, is a kind of hybrid between academic and journalistic styles. The stylistic features of lectures, pragmatic means used by speakers, main tasks, etc. are highlighted. It is established that speakers simplify scientific terms, widely use metaphors, and ‘storytelling’ to facilitate the understanding of the speech by the audience. The main challenges faced by translators in translating such speeches are also identified, namely the need to translate metaphors while preserving their meaning and the transmission of cultural allusions used by speakers. The article outlines prospects for further research and provides practical recommendations for translating TED talks. These include choosing the best equivalent for conveying metaphors, preserving the speaker's informal style, paying attention to cultural allusions, and applying adaptive translation strategies.

The paper highlights and analyzes the motives for implementing translation decisions regarding the adaptation of the phenomenon of mythonyms for the Ukrainian audience based on the original and translations into Ukrainian of the works «The Hobbit» and the trilogy «The Lord of the Rings». This paper also examines the differences between different translations of books and their impact on understanding the context and mood of the work. The researchers consider the importance of correct translation for understanding Tolkien's mythological world, as well as the features of mythonyms in translation. The authors draw special attention to the military terms used in the studied texts considering two types of military terms used in the fantasy texts, namely, reality-based military terms (used in real world) and fantasy military terms (invented by the writer).
Problem of low-frequency motion cueing along roll on flight simulators
Authors: Kabanyachyi Volodymyr , Ibrahimoglu Beycan
Published: December 2024

An innovative approach to improve the fidelity of low-frequency lateral motion cueing within full-flight simulators for non-maneuvering aircraft is presented. On the basis of the perception peculiarities by the human vestibular system of movement along the roll, the problem of low-frequency motion cueing of lateral movement by motion systems of flight simulators was formulated and solved. The critical challenge of simulating the set of angular motion cues that pilots perceive during flights is decided. This research highlights two key outcomes. The fourth-order low-pass filter effectively extracts low-frequency motion cues from aircraft motion kinematic parameters, enhancing simulation accuracy. Secondly, proposed method significantly expands the range of simulated motion cues while ensuring their synchronization with high-frequency motion cues along relevant degrees of freedom. This formulation of the problem increases the range of simulated motion cues to ±0,3nz, which practically corresponds to the range of simulated motion cues of a transport aircraft, and thus increases the quality of motion cueing. The implementation of the developed method on the An-72TK-200 full flight simulator confirmed its effectiveness.  In conclusion, this study introduces a promising methodology that enhances the quality of motion cueing, thus rendering flight simulations more realistic and beneficial for both pilots and aerospace engineering researchers in the real of non-maneuvering aircraft flight simulators

ПІЗНЬОСЕРЕДНЬОВІЧНИЙ МОГИЛЬНИК У С. РЕСПУБЛІКАНЕЦЬ ХЕРСОНСЬКОЇ ОБЛ.
Authors: Никоненко Д. , Волков А. , Долженко Ю.
Published: December 2024

Публікацію присвячено матеріалам епізодичних досліджень ґрунтового могильника пізнього середньовіччя на території с. Республіканець Херсонської обл. Пам’ятка розміщується в околицях Кам’янської запорозької Січі, кілька разів ставала об’єктом побіжних досліджень при вивченні козацьких старожитностей і жодного разу не публікувалась. Протягом останніх 30 років було досліджено лише 7 поховань могильника. Загалом на поверхні вдалося зафіксувати ймовірні місця 28 поховальних споруд.
Характерні риси поховального обряду могильника такі. Місця поховань позначалися на поверхні невеликими закладками з плаского каменю. Місцевий вапняк, що використовувався для цього, викладався в один шар. Закладки наближеної до овалу форми перекривали поховальні ями та приблизно коригувалися з ними за розміром. Орієнтація поховальних ям — південний захід — північний схід за довгою стороною. Форма — наближена до прямокутної, з заоваленими кутами. Зафіксована глибина ям у межах 0,8–1,8 м. Кістяки покладені витягнуто на спині, головою на південний захід, зі складеними на рівні грудей або живота руками. Поховання здійснювалось у дерев’яній труні, дошки якої скріплювалися залізними кованими скобами або цвяхами. Поховання переважно безінвентарні. Поруч із кістяками зафіксовано решки різноманітних органічних матеріалів: рослин, тканини та вовни. Єдиним предметом поховального інвентарю, виявленим при дослідженні, є бронзова шпилька, що використовувалася для жіночого головного убору.
Окрім детального аналізу специфіки поховального обряду могильника автори залучили результати палеоботанічних, краніологічних і остеологічних обстежень. Під час досліджень, через практичну відсутність поховального інвентарю, що є типовим для могильників пізнього середньовіччя, було залучено метод радіовуглецевого датування. Виходячи з результатів і аналізу особливостей поховального звичаю, автори пропонують гіпотезу про відношення пам’ятки до перших поселень XVIII ст., які виникають на досліджуваній території вже після часів існування Кам’янської запорозької Січі.

Статтю присвячено аналізу тревелогів англійських, німецьких та французьких мандрівників, які відвідали Бессарабію у першій половині XIX ст. Незважаючи на суб’єктивність і нерівномірність викладу матеріалу, вони містять цінну інформацію про регіон, яку важко знайти в інших джерелах. Дослідження виявляє, що мандрівники звертали особливу увагу на ландшафти, економіку, міста, етнічний та соціальний склад населення регіону. Вони також відзначали взаємодію різних культур і особливий статус жителів Бессарабії. На основі аналізу тревелогів виявлено, що найбільший інтерес для іноземних мандрівників представляли міста Кишинів, Сороки, Хотин і Бендери. Незважаючи на суб’єктивний характер тревелогів, вони є цінним джерелом для розуміння того, як іноземці бачили Бессарабію в той час.

Чавуни з кулястим графітом (ЧКГ) є матеріалами, що ефективно конкурують зі сталлю у машинобудуванні та будівництві завдяки унікальній мікроструктурі з графітовими сфероїдами. Для підвищення механічних властивостей ЧКГ застосовують ізотермічне гартування, що забезпечує формування бейнітної структури з залишковим аустенітом. Досліджено вплив хімічного складу та параметрів термообробки на тріщиностійкість ЧКГ. Встановлено, що оптимальна кількість залишкового аустеніту (30–35 %) сприяє максимальній стійкості до утворення тріщин. Описано методи покращення тріщиностійкості та перспективні напрями застосування ЧКГ у техніці та оборонному секторі.

Academic Agendas of Sustainable Fashion and Its Relevance With the SDGs Since the Rana Plaza Collapse
Authors: Nagano Aki
Published: December 2024

The sustainable fashion (SF) movement can enhance the lives of producer communities in both developed and developing countries by addressing socio-environmental impacts. However, despite the growing attention, the concept of SF remains unclear to many people. This study examines the academic agendas of SF since the Rana Plaza collapse and addresses how they align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The study analyzes 2,026 research articles from 2013 to 2023 and identifies 17 topics using automated content analyses. These outline how SF studies have gained academic interest in various fields over the past decade. Additionally, the coding results emphasize economic factors more than social and environmental factors. Although the fashion industry plays a vital role in economic development and offers a competitive export commodity for leveraging an abundant workforce in developing countries, they must improve their competitiveness by adopting alternative strategies rather than competing solely on low labor costs. This study suggests enhancing transparency through sustainable supply chains, contributing to the social aspect of SF. Sustainability is an evolving concept closely linked to social, economic, and ecological systems. Researchers and managers must understand its changing meaning over time and effectively communicate it to society.

Algin is the most abundant substance in algae. Alginate lyase degrades algin, producing algin monosaccharides, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides, which are widely used in bioenergy, food, medicine, and other fields. In this study, an Exiguobacterium strain isolated from rotten kelp exhibited a robust ability to degrade algae. Sequencing of this strain revealed the presence of three different types of alginate lyase. However, the expression of these three genes in Escherichia coli showed lower alginate lyase activity compared to the original strain. After codon optimization, the gene with the highest activity of the three was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris to produce recombinant EbAlg664. In 5L high-density fermentation, the activity of the recombinant enzyme reached 1306 U/mg protein, 3.9 times that of the original Exiguobacterium strain. Enzymatic analysis revealed that the optimal temperature and pH range of recombinant EbAlg664 were narrower compared to the original strain. Furthermore, the presence of Cu2+ and Co2+ enhanced enzymatic activity, whereas Mg2+ and Fe3+ inhibited the recombinant alginate lyase. This study provides a theoretical and practical foundation for the industrial-scale production of engineered Pichia pastoris with high alginate lyase activity.
Intelligent Gas Risk Assessment and Report Generation for Coal Mines: An Innovative Framework Based on GLM Fine-tuning
Authors: Sun Yi , Han Ying
Published: December 2024

Traditional coal mine gas risk assessment methods rely on manual processes, leading to inefficiencies, incomplete information integration, and low accuracy, which hampers effective safety supervision. To address these issues, we propose an Intelligent Gas Risk Assessment and Report Generation Framework (IGRARG), based on fine-tuning a Generative Language Model (GLM). This framework integrates multi-source sensor data with the decision-making capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to create a gas risk assessment dataset tailored to coal mine safety. Additionally, it incorporates industry regulations and standards, utilizes a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) mechanism to improve decision-making accuracy, and automates alarm judgment, recommendation generation, and report creation using a hierarchical management structure. In real-world coal mine testing, the framework achieved alarm accuracy of 94.31%, recommendation accuracy of 91.49%, and reduced report generation time from 90 minutes to 2-3 minutes. The integration of a human feedback mechanism further optimizes decision-making, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of gas risk assessment for coal mine safety management.
