Transferring Sensor-Based Assessments to Clinical Practice: The Case of Muscle Synergies
Authors: Scano Alessandro , Lanzani Valentina , Brambilla Cristina , d’Avella Andrea
Published: June 2024

Sensor-based assessments in medical practice and rehabilitation include the measurement of physiological signals such as EEG, EMG, ECG, heart rate, and NIRS, and the recording of movement kinematics and interaction forces. Such measurements are commonly employed in clinics with the aim of assessing patients’ pathologies, but so far some of them have found full exploitation mainly for research purposes. In fact, even though the data they allow to gather may shed light on physiopathology and mechanisms underlying motor recovery in rehabilitation, their practical use in the clinical environment is mainly devoted to research studies, with a very reduced impact on clinical practice. This is especially the case for muscle synergies, a well-known method for the evaluation of motor control in neuroscience based on multichannel EMG recordings. In this paper, considering neuromotor rehabilitation as one of the most important scenarios for exploiting novel methods to assess motor control, the main challenges and future perspectives for the standard clinical adoption of muscle synergy analysis are reported and critically discussed.

This paper addresses the critical need for advanced real-time vehicle detection methodologies in Vehicle Intelligence Systems (VIS), especially in the context of using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for data acquisition in severe weather conditions, such as heavy snowfall typical of the Nordic region. Traditional vehicle detection techniques, which often rely on custom-engineered features and deterministic algorithms, fall short in adapting to diverse environmental challenges, leading to a demand for more precise and sophisticated methods. The limitations of current architectures, particularly when deployed in real-time on edge devices with restricted computational capabilities, are highlighted as significant hurdles in the development of efficient vehicle detection systems. To bridge this gap, our research focuses on the formulation of an innovative approach that combines the fractional B-spline wavelet transform with a tailored U-Net architecture, operational on a Raspberry Pi 4. This method aims to enhance vehicle detection and localization by leveraging the unique attributes of the NVD dataset, which comprises drone-captured imagery under the harsh winter conditions of northern Sweden. The dataset, featuring 8450 annotated frames with 26,313 vehicles, serves as the foundation for evaluating the proposed technique. The comparative analysis of the proposed method against state-of-the-art detectors, such as YOLO and Faster RCNN, in both accuracy and efficiency on constrained devices, emphasizes the capability of our method to balance the trade-off between speed and accuracy, thereby broadening its utility across various domains.

Authors: Možek Matej , Pečar Borut , Vrtačnik Danilo
Published: June 2024

The design, fabrication and characterization of a cost-efficient oceanographic instrument with microfabricated sensors for measuring conductivity, temperature and depth of seawater are presented. Conductivity and temperature sensors were fabricated using MEMS technology, which allows for customized small footprints and low production costs. Dedicated electronics for reading, processing and storing acquired sensor data are described. The developed instrument enables the measurement of seawater conductivity in a range from 4 mS/cm to 70 mS/cm. The conductivity measurement is temperature-compensated in the range from 2 °C to 40 °C, with an accuracy of ±0.1 mS/cm. The temperature sensor’s stability is 0.025 °C. The depth/pressure measurement range is up to 2000 m/200 bar, with a resolution of 0.1 bar. Temperature and conductivity sensor performance was assessed using laboratory equipment and designed electronics. The conductivity sensor was temperature-compensated to 0.01 mS/cm. The conductivity sensor electrode corrosion effect is presented below and was eliminated through adaptation of a signal acquisition circuit. Custom software was developed for monitoring critical conductivity sensor parameters (currents, voltages). A variation of 0.4% between cell conductance currents and voltages was established as a criterion for stable conductivity sensor operation.
Evaluation Method for Underwater Ultrasonic Energy Radiation Performance Based on the Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Acoustic Power

Published: June 2024

In recent years, underwater wireless ultrasonic energy transmission technology (UWUET) has attracted much attention because it utilizes the propagation characteristics of ultrasound in water. Effectively evaluating the performance of underwater ultrasonic wireless energy transmission is a key issue in engineering design. The current approach to performance evaluation is usually based on the system energy transfer efficiency as the main criterion, but this criterion mainly considers the overall energy conversion efficiency between the transmitting end and the receiving end, without an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of the distribution of the underwater acoustic field and the energy loss that occurs during the propagation of acoustic waves. In addition, existing methods focusing on acoustic field analysis tend to concentrate on a single parameter, ignoring the dynamic distribution of acoustic energy in complex aquatic environments, as well as the effects of changes in the underwater environment on acoustic propagation, such as spatial variability in temperature and salinity. These limitations reduce the usefulness and accuracy of models in complex marine environments, which in turn reduces the efficiency of acoustic energy management and optimization. To solve these problems, this study proposes a method to evaluate the performance of underwater ultrasonic energy radiation based on the spatial distribution characteristics of acoustic power. By establishing an acoustic power distribution model in a complex impedance–density aqueous medium and combining numerical simulation and experimental validation, this paper explores the spatial variation of acoustic power and its impact on the energy transfer efficiency in depth. Using high-resolution spatial distribution data and actual environmental parameters, the method significantly improves the accuracy of the assessment and the adaptability of the model in complex underwater environments. The results show that, compared with the traditional method, this method performs better in terms of the accuracy of the acoustic energy radiation calculation results, and is able to reflect the energy distribution and spatial heterogeneity of the acoustic source more comprehensively, which provides an important theoretical basis and practical guidance for the optimal design and performance enhancement of the underwater ultrasonic wireless energy transmission system.

Here, we present the synthesis of a novel quaternary compound, iodide carbonate Na5(CO3)2I, at 18(1) and 25.1(5) GPa in laser-heated diamond anvil cells. Single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction provides accurate structural data for Na5(CO3)2I and shows that the structure of the material can be described as built of INa8 square prisms, distorted NaO6 octahedra, and trigonal planar CO32− units. Decompression experiments show that the novel iodide carbonate is recoverable in the N2 atmosphere to ambient conditions. Our ab initio calculations agree well with the experimental structural data, provide the equation of state, and shed light on the chemical bonding and electronic properties of the new compound.

Authors: Wang Chuang , Zhang Tianyi , Jia Jing , Wang Jin , Ren Shan
Published: June 2024

With the improvement of social production efficiency and the enhancement of the supply chain system, the traditional linear supply chain model is gradually evolving into a more complex and dynamic industrial chain network. This article uses complex network theory combined with the basic attributes of the industrial chain and supply chain to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the integrated circuit industry chain. Firstly, a cooperative network model of the integrated circuit industry chain in Shaanxi Province is established based on the supply chain relationships of enterprises. Secondly, the study analyzes the basic characteristics of the collaborative network model. Thirdly, this study explores the efficiency, resilience, and innovation capacity of industrial chains using a novel set of indexes: the industry chain efficiency index (ICEI), the industry chain resilience index (ICRI), and the industry chain innovation capability index (ICICI). By employing principal component analysis (PCA), the study provides a comprehensive evaluation of industrial chain performance. The findings reveal that the ICEI highlights the critical importance of average path length and network density, showing that shorter paths and higher density are associated with greater efficiency. The ICRI emphasizes the roles of average degree and standard deviation, indicating that higher connectivity and lower variability contribute to resilience. The ICICI identifies the clustering coefficient and network density as key factors, suggesting that tight-knit networks foster innovation. These results offer significant insights into the dynamics of industrial chain collaboration and provide practical recommendations for enhancing supply chain management. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through a case study. The results of the case study indicate the following: (1) Key Enterprises’ Identification: The analysis identified key enterprises like Samsung Semiconductor and HT-tech with the highest betweenness centrality, highlighting their crucial intermediary roles within the network; (2) Efficiency and Innovation Assessment: Compared with foreign-owned and other immigrant businesses, local businesses generally perform below average in terms of efficiency and resilience, indicating that there is room for improvement in technology adoption and innovation capabilities.
Comprehensive Analysis of Influencing Factors on Building Energy Performance and Strategic Insights for Sustainable Development: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Olu-Ajayi Razak , Alaka Hafiz , Egwim Christian , Grishikashvili Ketty
Published: June 2024

A prerequisite for decreasing the intensification of energy in buildings is to evaluate and understand the influencing factors of building energy performance (BEP). These factors include building envelope features and outdoor climactic conditions, among others. Based on the importance of the influencing factors in the development of the building energy prediction model, various researchers are continuously employing different types of factors based on their popularity in academic literature, without a proper investigation of the most relevant factors, which, in some cases, potentially leads to poor model performance. However, this can be due to the absence of an adequate comprehensive analysis or review of all factors influencing BEP ubiquitously. Therefore, this paper conducts a holistic and comprehensive review of studies that have explored the various factors influencing energy use in residential and commercial buildings. In total, 74 research articles were systematically selected from the Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Institute of Electrical Electronics Engineers (IEEE) databases. Subsequently, by means of a systematic and bibliometric analysis, this paper comprehensively analyzed several important factors influencing BEP. The results reveals the important factors (such as windows and roofs) and engendered or shed light on the application of some energy-efficient strategies such as the utilization of a green roof and photovoltaic (PV) window, among others.
Finite–Discrete Element Method Simulation Study on Development of Water-Conducting Fractures in Fault-Bearing Roof under Repeated Mining of Extra-Thick Coal Seams
Authors: Mai Longquan , Li Hao
Published: June 2024

The formation of water-conducting fractures in overlying strata caused by underground coal mining not only leads to roof water inrush disasters, but also water-conducting fractures penetrate the aquifer, resulting in the occurrence of a mine-water-inrush disaster and the loss of water resources. It destroys the sustainability of surface water and underground aquifers. This phenomenon is particularly significant in extra-thick coal seams and fault-bearing areas. Numerical simulation is an effective method to predict the failure range of mining overburden rock with low cost and high efficiency. The key to its accuracy lies in a reasonable constitutive model and simulation program. In this study, considering that the three parts of penetrating cracks, non-penetrating cracks, and intact rock blocks are often formed after rock failure, the contact state criterion and shear friction relationship of discrete rock blocks and the mixed fracture displacement–damage–load relationship are established, respectively. Combined with the Mohr–Coulomb criterion, the constitutive model of mining rock mass deformation–discrete block motion and interaction is formed. On this basis, according to the engineering geological conditions of Yushupo Coal Mine, a numerical model for the development of water-conducting cracks in the roof with faults under repeated mining of extra-thick coal seams is established. The results show the following: The constitutive relation of the continuous deformation–discrete block interaction of overlying strata and the corresponding finite element–discrete element FDEM numerical program and VUSDFLD multi-coal seam continuous mining subroutine can numerically realize the formation process of faults and water flowing fractures in overlying strata under continuous mining of extra-thick multi-coal seams. The toughness of sand mudstone is low, and the fracture will be further developed under the repeated disturbance of multi-thick coal seam mining. Finally, it is stabilized at 216–226 m, and the ratio of fracture height to mining thickness is 14.1. When the working face advances to the fault, the stress concentration occurs in the fault and its overlying rock, which leads to the local fracture of the roof rock mass and the formation of cracks. The fault group makes this phenomenon more obvious. The results have been preliminarily applied and tested in Ningwu mining area, which provides theoretical support for further development of roof water disaster control under the condition of an extra-thick coal seam and avoids the loss of water resources in surface water and underground aquifers.

Authors: Liu Haiming , Peng Song
Published: June 2024

In this paper, we introduce the notion of the semi-symmetric metric connection in the Heisenberg group. Moreover, by using the method of Riemannian approximations, we define the notions of intrinsic curvature for regular curves, the intrinsic geodesic curvature of regular curves on a surface, and the intrinsic Gaussian curvature of the surface away from characteristic points in the Heisenberg group with the semi-symmetric metric connection. Finally, we derive the expressions of those curvatures and prove the Gauss–Bonnet theorem related to the semi-symmetric metric connection in the Heisenberg group.

Authors: Al-Askery Ali Jaber , Hasan Fadhil Sahib , Yassin Yaser Atta
Published: June 2024

The underwater acoustic (UWA) channel causes large propagation delays and reduces the bit error rate (BER) of wireless communication systems. The t-distribution is the optimal distribution to perform UWA noise. In this study, polar-coded differential chaos shift keying (DCSK) and quadrature chaos shift keying (QCSK) communication with UWA noise are considered. First, we have proposed a PDF for the UWA noise channel, and based on this PDF, the theoretical BER is derived. Second, polar coding’s performance is determined to demonstrate the improvement in the BER performance compared to the uncoded UWA system by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The experimental results prove that the nearest model that is applicable to the UWA channel is a t-distribution with five and six degrees of freedom. The BER formulas of the proposed systems are derived and compared with the simulation results. The results confirm the performance improvement of the polar-coded chaotic modulation systems over uncoded systems in UWA channels.

Authors: Yokoyama Yuta , Nagasaka Kei , Masuda Idemitsu , Sugiyama Hirofumi , Okazawa Shigenobu
Published: June 2024

We conducted an isogeometric analysis (IGA) to evaluate the performance of automobile structural member deformation and crash. In automobile crash analysis, ensuring the accuracy of the acceleration, velocity, and load in time series, as well as the structural deformation behavior, is important. To maintain the aforementioned consistency, accurately reproducing the bending and buckling of structural members is indispensable. In this study, we firstly computed the bending and buckling of structural members using IGA and validated its performance by comparing the results with those of a conventional finite element analysis and experiments. In addition, we utilized IGA for the crash analysis of an automobile body.

Authors: Acosta Olivia , Sastre Francisco , Arias Juan Ramón , Velazquez Ángel
Published: June 2024

A conceptual study was performed on intelligent driving acceleration strategies for vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines. Two archetypal acceleration scenarios of highway driving and urban driving were prescribed. Three trajectories were considered for each scenario. They involved (a) nearly constant acceleration, (b) fast acceleration first and slow acceleration later, and (c) slow acceleration first and fast acceleration later. The selected vehicle was a generic European small–medium passenger car. Engine inlet pressure and ignition time were optimized along each trajectory to minimize fuel consumption, CO, and CO2 emissions, and travel time. The optimization process involved a methodological approach based on the higher-order singular value decomposition of the tensor form of the engine model. The optimized trajectories were analyzed and compared among themselves. Conceptual acceleration design guidelines for intelligent driving were provided that could be of interest when integrating vehicle/engine performance into the surrounding traffic flow.

Youth homelessness represents a persistent and significant challenge for service sectors with limited best practice guidance. Housing supports, in particular, are widely deployed, with the practice-oriented literature providing little detail regarding service design beyond broad domains such as employment support and life skills coaching. The present multiple case study investigation was designed to develop a preliminary understanding of the guiding principles that attend the development of interventions that support youth exiting homelessness in the Canadian context. These case studies were conducted with a diverse group of five organizations recognized as sector leaders, with findings considered in light of practice standards from the better-established adult housing literature. Key findings with respect to service models included the strategies used to provide flexible, culturally responsive, tailored services with an emphasis on specialist support. Implementation factors included the navigation of strategic partnerships, the use of data in capacity-building, and the benefits and drawbacks of larger, centralized service environments versus smaller, dispersed environments. Youth-specific considerations in housing stabilization models are highlighted. This work contributes to a growing body of literature that seeks to articulate best practices in the effort to address and prevent youth homelessness.

Authors: Lutsan Ihor
Published: June 2024

The research objective. The research aims to delineate the constructive manifestations of social activism by Protestant denominations in Ukraine amid the ongoing war.
The statement of basic materials. The socially meaningful (philanthropic) endeavors of Protestant churches amid the Russia's military aggression against Ukraine are being analyzed. These endeavors have adopted a multi-faceted approach, including charity (charitable actions), volunteering, and more. Significantly, are undoubtedly aimed at tackling complex social challenges, promoting social justice, which is exceptionally crucial today. In essence, the multi-vector social activities represent the core of church life and a pivotal form of functional activity for religious organizations.
Conclusions. Today, the active involvement of denominations in addressing complex social and moral issues of society during wartime, with a focus on social service, active civic engagement, Christianpatriotic, and socially responsible positions of the Church, represents powerful messages and main directions for the Church's socialization. This, in turn, fosters the expansion beyond the confines of narrow ecclesiastical and denominational ministries, enabling the believers' active involvement in civic life and instilling Christian values into various spheres of human existence for the sake of a just peace, wellbeing, freedom, and the victory of the long-suffering Ukrainian nation.
BIOGRAPHY AND AUTOBIOGRAPHY: COLLISIONS OF FICTION AND REALITY IN THE CREATIVITY OF A PERSON'S LIFE
Authors: Vasyliev Oleksii
Published: June 2024

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. A significant impetus for understanding and involvement of the scientific potential embedded in the life description practices was given in works of F. Schleiermacher, V. Dilthey, K. Jaspers, J.-P. Sartre, R. Rorty. Ukrainian scientists O. Va-levskyi, V. Horskyi, I. Holubovych, A. Tsyapa, V. Menzhulin have especially carefully worked out the biographical discourse within the framework of philosophical science and have derived some thorough, in our opinion, methodological principles
The research objective. This research examines biography and autobiography as a socio-cultural and cultural-anthropological phenomenon by identifying the differences and similarities between them. We will also explore fiction and/or falsified biography as a self-reflective practice and explore its methodological potential in relation to reality. We will also consider autobiographical practices using vivid examples of the pre-industrial, industrial and post-industrialeras
The statement of basic materials. Differences between biography and autobiography at the socio-cultural and cultural-anthropological level can be of fundamental importance in the case when the biography serves as a practice of distinguishing between the “I” of the narrator and the Others. The difference between the two genres becomes fundamental at the level of consideration of the character against the background of his social environment, historical and cultural circumstances. An important question for modern researchers is the border that separates the autobiographical narrative, which strives to be as close as possible to reality, from the imaginary or even deliberately constructed. Perhaps the most important work that reflects the transition from ancient memoirs, epistles and self-reflective lyrics, as well as the genre of medieval hagiography to autobiography itself, is the “Confessions” of Augustine Aurelius, in which many researchers see the first complete work built using psychological introspection. Autobiography as a separate genre in the modern sense took shape at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries, standing out from other works that contained elements of self-reflection, subjectivity, and authorial self-identification. In the post-industrial era, biographical/autobiographical collisions take on the most sophisticated form and vividly express the relationship between the individual and society. The conflict on the boundary of Self/Other deepens, the importance of the connection between the author's life and his work increases in public consciousness, which turns into a kind of reaction of the most sensitive authors to the trends of the era.
ARETOLOGICAL ETHICS IN STRATEGIES OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Authors: Ponomarenko Oksana
Published: June 2024

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Framing the problem in this aspect involves referring to the works of Elizabeth Anscombe, Alasdair MacIntyre, Philippa Foot, Rosalind Hursthouse, Roger Crisp, and Edith Hall. The issue of academic integrity has been addressed in the research of V. Romakin, T. Finikova, A. Artyukhov, M. Grynyova, L. Ryzhak, O. Tsokur, Y. Kalinovsky, V. Khmarsky and others.
The research objective. Unveiling the creative potential of aretological ethics and its applicability in crafting a strategy of integrity and its effective implementation in the academic, cultural, and socio-political realms of contemporary Ukraine.
The statement of basic materials. Changes in moral philosophy from Aristotle to the present day are shaped by diverse historical, cultural, and philosophical influences. In the mid-20th century, normative ethics was dominated by two theories: deontology, inspired by the 18th-century philosopher Immanuel Kant, and utilitarianism, rooted in the philosophies of Jeremy Bentham and J.S. Mill. Elizabeth Anscombe, in her work “Modern Moral Philosophy” (1958), highlighted a legalistic shift in ethics, suggesting a departure from viewing virtues as mere duties or obligations, advocating a return to Aristotle's approach where virtues are seen as key qualities of character aimed at human flourishing. Anscombe's work sparked a revival of virtue ethics. Philosophers like Philippa Foot, Rosalind Hursthouse, Edith Hall, and others contributed to the rehabilitation and development of virtue ethics, emphasizing Aristotle's moral philosophy. These philosophers seek not only to revive but also to adapt Aristotle's teachings on virtue to the demands of modern society, addressing contemporary challenges. Their contributions have significantly influenced the development of normative ethics, expanding discussions and examining aspects of virtue in the context of contemporary moral theories.
VISUALIZATION AS A NONVERBAL TOOL OF PEDAGOGICAL SEMIOSIS IN THE MODERN COMMUNICATIVE SPACE
Authors: Ivashchenko Tetiana
Published: June 2024

The statement of basic materials. In the information age, with its characteristic intensification of communication flows, a person is constantly faced with the problem of preserving and reproducing identity. Designing a new informational and network cultural reality requires a revision of the goals of education, forms, methods of their achievement, in accordance with those changes in society, which today have a pronounced anthropological character. Visualization of educational content, as one of the non-verbal means of educational communication, meets the demands of the new “digital” generation. With the help of visual non-verbals, favorable conditions are created for the harmonious development of all cognitive structures of the personality. The tools of visual non-verbal are in the research “fairway” of the science of semiotics, the object of study of which is communicative processes, the subject - signs and symbolic forms of communication implementation. In the semiotic tradition, “semiosis” is an operation during which a mutual presupposition is established between the form of expression and the form of content, as a result of which signs are produced. Pedagogical semiosis is a conscious process of labeling and decoding information, purposefully carried out by subjects of educational activity. The heterogeneity of the perception of visual images and the need to decode them stimulates the development of reflexive thinking, which neutralizes the attempts of others to manipulate consciousness and behavior, helps to realize and defend one's own interests, analyze and control one's actions, search for and find non-standard solutions in difficult life situations. Visual images evoke a sense of involvement, empathy, activate the desire for effective participation, for self-identification. The development and use of the methodological toolkit of educational semiotics as a theoretical basis for visualizing the educational process and its use in modern pedagogical semiosis is an effective factor for self-determination and self-identification of a new communicative personality in the educational space of the digital era.
THE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF MODERNITY AS A SUBJECT OF WORLDVIEW DEMARCATION
Authors: Bondarenko Nataliia
Published: June 2024

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The publication activity on the topic of the educational environment as a subject of worldview demarcation can be conditionally divided into three interrelated parts. The first concerns compensating for the deficit of philosophical understanding of the meaningful specificity of the educational environment. The works of A. Badiou, E. Grayling, and S. Žižek are devoted to this aspect. The second part of the publication activity on the topic of the educational environment is related to the personal factor. This aspect is highlighted in the works of M. Nusbaum, C. Taylor, and S. Feldman. The third part of the publication activity concerns the topic of the educational environment as a subject of worldview demarcation. In this regard, it is worth highlighting the research efforts of M. Bratko, H. Vaskivska, and R. Semenova.
The research objective. The criteriabased disclosure of the notion of “educational environment” through the prism of the fundamental vocation of education, its mission, vision, functional priorities, etc. becomes a priority.
The statement of basic material. A fundamental misunderstanding is related to the false stereotype that the personal paradigm is fundamentally incompatible with the utilitarian-pragmatic orientation of education - in fact, the opposite is true: it is the personal development that is the strategic resource that underpins capitalisation, both social and individual. The new paradigm of education needs a decisive and at the same time meaningful, balanced transition from narrow utilitarian-pragmatic goals of education to the fundamental humanistic goal of personal development as an imperative of human fulfillment.

The object of the study is the work and employment behavior of Russian-speaking women living in foreign countries. The subject of the study is a set of socio-economic relations that develop in connection with the work and employment behavior of this category of women. The information base for the study is scientific publications, materials from Russian-speaking communities, and indepth structured interviews conducted by the authors. The prerequisites for the term “relocant” and its main differences from the terms “emigrant”, “refugee”, and “expat” are analyzed. Women are classified according to their moving reasons and status in the new country. Two groups of women who left before and after February 2022 have been identified and characterized. The study reveals that the main social interactions during professional fulfillment take place in the Russian-speaking environment, and also that the unofficial employment of Russian-speaking women generally prevails over the official one. The most common areas of employment for Russian-speaking women are described. Features of employment behavior when Russian-speaking women move to other countries have been identified: the desire to start their own business, increase creativity in the workplace, etc. Sources of support for this category of women, including Russian-speaking women's communities, and a classification of such communities have been studied and developed. Based on the research results, the authors conclude that Russianspeaking women successfully join foreign businesses, compete with local entrepreneurs, and find completely new niches for their business projects, but often their employment remains unofficial. Recommendations are made that special support communities for Russian-speaking migrants in receiving countries on the part of local authorities and the public, as well as various Russian speaking communities, would be useful.

Authors:   All-Russian Research Institute of Labor, Moscow, Russia, Moskvina M.S.
Published: June 2024

This study focuses on identifying the systemic causes of occupational injuries in organisations within the real sector of the economy, identified in the process of analyzing the departmental sectoral action plans implemented to reduce and prevent accidents. The relevance and scientific novelty of the paper lie in identifying the systemic causes of severe accidents by economic activity type in the Russian Federation and proposing recommendations for adjusting departmental sectoral plans to mitigate occupational injuries through planned preventive measures. The ultimate goal of the research is to comprehensively understand the causes of severe accidents and develop effective recommendations for adjusting and optimizing departmental sectoral action plans to reduce occupational injuries. The study's results confirm the hypothesis that systemic causes of recurring workplace accidents necessitate a review of mandatory labor protection requirements in regulations and consideration of industry-specific characteristics. The conclusions drawn from the analysis can serve as a basis for ongoing efforts to assess the effectiveness of implemented measures and plan additional preventive activities to reduce occupational injuries.

Розглянуто важливість логічного та послідовного викладення нової інформації, а також необхідність оптимізації та актуалізації навчальних матеріалів. Наголошено на важливості типографіки в навчальному дизайні, оскільки вдалий вибір шрифту може покращити читабельність тексту, виділити важливу інформацію і сприяти інтересу до навчання та колірної гами, використання фото та відео матеріалів. Охарактеризовано відмінності проектування дизайну для різних вікових категорій з урахуванням рівня знань та мотивації цільової аудиторії. Висвітлено важливість вибору кольорів у навчальному дизайні, враховуючи їх вплив на настрій і поведінку користувачів. Наведено прийоми для вдалого підбору колірної гами. Виявлено шляхи використання кольору, типографіки та мультимедійних матеріалів задля покращення рівня сприйняття та засвоєння учнями нової інформації. У подальшій роботі планується проаналізувати та конкретизувати різноманітні матеріально-технічні засоби для проектування навчальних матеріалів та розробити серію навчальних шкільних плакатів за допомогою сучасних графічних редакторів.
Особливості традиційного народного українського декоративного розпису та його візуалізація в сучасних умовах
Authors: Омельченко Ольга
Published: June 2024

У статті розглядаються та аналізуються художні особливості народного українського хатнього розпису, чинники його виникнення, зміст художнього задуму, техніки виконання та розвитку. Особлива увага акцентується на збереженні традицій прикрашати житло символічними мотивами – оберегами, які виникли у віруваннях часів язичництва, продовжували існування у християнстві та дійшли до сучасності. Характерною рисою народного мистецтва є синкретичність, де засобами орнаментальних композицій відтворювався «Світовий порядок» на функціональних ужиткових речах. Відмічається варіативність художньої мови хатнього розпису, його вплив на створення нових видів народного графічного мистецтва на початку ХХ століття. Акцентується роль обдарованих митців на створення осередків, шкіл та промислів в різних регіонах країни. Розглядаються творчі пошуки сучасних майстрів та їх приклади зв’язків народного мистецтва з сьогоденням. Поширеною ознакою збереження та розвитку народного мистецтва є сімейні традиції митців різних поколінь, які продовжують і розвивають власні здібності у декоративному живопису, розпису громадських інтер’єрів та виробів побуту, дизайні одягу, текстилі, графічному дизайні, сувенірній продукції.

В статье предложен оригинальный метод восстановления сжатого видеопотока с сохранением для беспилотной системы возможности выполнять поставленные задачи. Новизна предложенного метода заключается в том, что лежащая в его основе диффузионная модель, разработанная путем преобразования элементов предобученой глубокой генеративной нейросетевой модели обратной диффузии, позволяет не только восстанавливать изначальной сжатый с целью уменьшения величины задержки передаваемый видеопоток, но и сохранять при этом требуемое качество передаваемого изображения.

The article proposes an original method for restoring a compressed video stream while preserving the ability of an unmanned system to perform assigned tasks. The novelty of the proposed method lies in the fact that the underlying diffusion model, developed by transforming the elements of a pretrained deep generative neural network model of inverse diffusion, allows not only to restore the originally compressed transmitted video stream in order to reduce the delay, but also to maintain the required quality of the transmitted image.
AN ALGORITHM FOR A SPACECRAFT TO SELECT AN EARTH STATION TO ESTABLISH COMMUNICATIONS IN BANDS WHOSE RADIO TRANSPARENCY DEPENDS ON THE STATE OF THE ATMOSPHERE
Authors: Пантелеймонов И.Н.
Published: June 2024

В связи со сложностью точного прогнозирования погоды традиционное планирование сеансов связи космических аппаратов с земными станциями в диапазонах длин волн, радиопрозрачность которых зависит от состояния атмосферы, может приводить к невозможности осуществления сеансов связи с заданным качеством. В статье описан алгоритм автоматического выбора космическим аппаратом земной станции для установления высокоскоростной связи на остронаправленные антенные системы в указанных диапазонах длин волн в зависимости от состояния атмосферы, что может послужить основой для создания систем информационного обмена с многоспутниковыми группировками.

Due to the complexity of accurate weather forecasting, traditional planning of communication sessions between spacecraft and earth stations in wavelength ranges, where the radio transparency depends on the state of the atmosphere, can lead to the impossibility of carrying out communication sessions with a given quality. The article describes an algorithm for automatically selecting an earth station by a spacecraft to establish high-speed communications with highly directional antenna systems in the specified wavelength ranges, depending on the state of the atmosphere, which can serve as the basis for creating information exchange systems with multi-satellite constellations.
