Authors: Hromada Eduard , Brozova Lucie , Heralova Renata Schneiderova , Macek Daniel , Vitasek Stanislav , Strelcova Iveta
Published: December 2024

Valuing the reconstruction of historic buildings is a complex and challenging task due to the unique nature of these structures and the uncertainties involved in estimating the scope of work. This study aimed to bridge the gap between traditional construction practices and modern economic frameworks by developing a comprehensive methodology for the valuation of construction works on historic buildings. Focusing on the Czech Republic, the study analysed the tender budgets of 21 reconstruction projects to be carried out between 2020 and 2023. The analysis compared tender prices with standardised indicative prices to identify significant discrepancies and the reasons for them. The proposed methodology integrated market-based price analysis and traditional pricing tools, providing a robust framework for accurate cost estimation. This approach not only ensured the preservation of the cultural value of historic buildings, but also provided a practical, financially sound strategy for their restoration. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for stakeholders involved in the pricing and budgeting of restoration projects, helping to refine cost estimation methodologies and improve the efficiency and accuracy of budgeting processes.

Authors: Hendrianto Figo Chrisnando , Negara Kartika Puspa , Devia Yatnanta Padma
Published: December 2024

The transition to a circular economy (CE) has become a crucial global objective, with the aim of promoting sustainable development while minimizing resource depletion and environmental degradation. Nevertheless, there are a lot of challenges that need to be overcome before CE principles are feasible to apply in the construction industry, particularly in areas like East Java, Indonesia. Thus, in order to integrate CE concepts into East Java’s construction industry, this paper investigates the critical success factors (CSFs). This study’s research approach consists of a thorough literature review, a questionnaire survey for data collection, and a thorough analysis of the data using mean score ranking and fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE). The analyses revealed 40 significant success factors for CE adoption in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector of East Java’s construction industries. Furthermore, this study discovered six CSF categories that have a substantial impact on the success of CE adoption through FSE analysis. However, the three most significant categories are policy, technology, and commitment and competency. The results of this study provide crucial recommendations to the East Java government and stakeholders in the AEC sector.

Published: December 2024

A research has been undertaken to investigate the possibility of producing sustainable lightweight geopolymer material by using waste zeolite (zeolite molecular sieve) as aluminates and silicates source and at the same time as lightweight medium. This was done by totally or partially replacement of fly ash by waste zeolite particles. Six geopolymer mixes were designed and produced using different source materials (fly ash F, fly ash C and zeolite) and alkaline solution of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide. From the results, it was found that using fly ash C resulted in producing geopolymer mix with higher density than those made with fly ash F (Gf mix). However, replacing the fly ash totally with the zeolite particles helped in producing lightweight geopolymer concrete (1600 kg/m3) by achieving about 27% weight reduction and gaining about 5.1 MPa compressive strength. Not only reducing CO2 emissions by adopting zeolite- based geopolymer binder (instead of cement paste) but also achieving operational energy saving by producing lightweight concrete was obtained from producing lightweight geopolymer concrete as constructional material.

The Introduction of the Euro and its Impact on Firm Performance - the Evidence of Croatia
Authors: Kramarić Tomislava Pavić , Miletić Marko
Published: December 2024

This study examines the impact of the introduction of the euro on firm performance of non-financial firms listed on the Croatian capital market. Croatia adopted the euro as its sole legal tender on January 1, 2023, becoming the 20th member of the euro area. While the macroeconomic effects of euro adoption have been widely studied, its microeconomic implications, particularly on firm performance, remain underexplored. This research fills this gap by analyzing firm-specific determinants and their performance before and after euro adoption over 2019-2023. Using a sample of 25 non-financial companies listed on the Zagreb Stock Exchange, we employ panel data estimation techniques to evaluate the influence of euro adoption on corporate performance, incorporating variables such as firm size, leverage, firm openness or international sales, liquidity, and euro dummy variable. The results reveal that introducing the euro had a significant positive impact on firm performance, with implications for investment strategies and international competitiveness. This study is the first to investigate the euro's effect on firm performance in Croatia, offering valuable insights for policymakers and contributing to the broader literature on currency adoption and firm dynamics.

Published: December 2024

Modifying cytosine by adding a methyl group in CpG dinucleotides within DNA sequence has several functions, but acts primarily as an important regulatory mechanism of mammalian gene expression. This consequently affects the phenotypic characteristics of the organism. The methylation profiles can be altered as a consequence of various environmental influences, age, disease, or diet, and can serve as biomarkers of important production and health traits. In this regard, the methylation profile analysis techniques are important. In the present study, we proposed and tested specific oligonucleotide primers for the bisulphite-sequencing polymerase chain reaction (BSP) analysis of the bovine GSTP1, GSTA4, and AChE genes, to optimize this approach for future studies of the methylation status of these genes. BSP can be used, for example, to study the effect of different pesticides and their combinations on the methylation of these and other bovine genes.

Published: December 2024

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks pose a significant security risk, particularly with the increasing reliance on cloud computing and information technology (IT). These attacks not only allow unauthorized users to access services but also deny legitimate users the ability to utilize them. Traditional antivirus solutions and firewalls prove insufficient in detecting DDoS attacks within large networks. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are essential for detecting unauthorized or malicious activities and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of services. However, traditional IDS often rely on predefined signatures and patterns, making them susceptible to evasion tactics. In response, this research introduces a deep learning (DL)-based IDS that integrates convolutional neural networks (CNN) with principal component analysis (PCA) and explores the application of vision transformers (ViT). The proposed hybrid model was tested on the CICDDoS2019 dataset, achieving a notable improvement in detection accuracy. Specifically, the CNN-based model initially identified DDoS attacks with an accuracy of 99.72%. Upon integrating ViT, the model’s accuracy further improved to 99.99%. This innovative approach signifies a considerable advancement in the detection capabilities for DDoS attacks and underscores the potential for integrating more sophisticated DL models into cybersecurity defenses.

Authors: Moreira Paula Anderson Waldemar
Published: December 2024

RESUMO: Este artigo tem como objeto analisar a cidadania das pessoas transgênero na contemporaneidade, especialmente sob a ótica do conceito baumaniano de sociedade de consumidores. Para melhor construção da análise proposta, o trabalho foi dividido em duas seções. Ideias sobre a cidadania e vulnerabilização das pessoas transgênero são desenvolvidas na primeira parte. Na segunda seção são desenvolvidos os conceitos de consumo e consumismo na sociedade de consumidores a partir das teorias de Jean Baudrillard, Néstor García Canclini e Zygmunt Bauman. Utilizando-se do método bibliográfico e documental, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa. Apesar de ser possível a concretização da cidadania pelo consumo na sociedade de consumidores, nas considerações finais, constatou-se que a vulnerabilização das pessoas transgênero impossibilita as práticas de consumo que viabilizam a cidadania consumerista.

Published: December 2024

O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi explorar a profunda relação entre os direitos da personalidade e o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, destacando sua importância no contexto jurídico e ético. Os direitos da personalidade são considerados como prerrogativas legais que encapsulam aspectos intrínsecos e inalienáveis da condição humana, sendo analisados quanto à sua definição, alcance e relevância ética e jurídica. Uma perspectiva central apresentada é que os direitos da personalidade não se limitam a meras normas legais, mas representam manifestações concretas da dignidade humana. O princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana é discutido como um fundamento moral e legal que sustenta esses direitos, realçando sua significância não apenas no âmbito jurídico, mas também nas esferas sociais e éticas. A complexidade na definição da dignidade da pessoa humana dentro do contexto jurídico é reconhecida, porém, existe um amplo consenso na identificação das situações que a violam. A pesquisa baseia-se em um método bibliográfico, fundamentado em uma revisão abrangente da literatura acadêmica e de obras essenciais de juristas e filósofos que exploram esses conceitos. Em suma, este artigo ressalta a necessidade de reconhecer a estreita relação entre os direitos da personalidade e a dignidade da pessoa humana. Essa compreensão enriquece não apenas o campo jurídico, mas também orienta práticas éticas e sociais, promovendo o respeito à condição humana e a proteção dos direitos fundamentais.

Published: December 2024

The article examines the foreign experience of digitalization of justice and the development of artificial intelligence in the context of the transition to an electronic format of criminal cases. In conclusion, the authors conclude that, given the predominance of the conservative view of law enforcement officers and the legislator of the Russian Federation, only minor steps are currently taking place towards the digitalization of justice in Russia. At the same time, it was found that the introduction of various information systems and automated workplaces into practical activities, which involved the creation of a single system and a wide-ranging network, did not occur, due to the lack of a single request from the system of investigative bodies and technical capabilities, as well as the absence of an urgent need to change the order of work on the part of investigators and interrogators

Published: December 2024

This article explores the concept of discursive space as a critical tool for shaping political identity. It aims to analyze how political actors utilize language, rhetorical strategies, and discursive frameworks to construct identities for both themselves and their audience. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative discourse analysis with quantitative examination of political speeches. The study analyzed 30 political speeches from key figures in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia between 2010 and 2024. The analysis revealed consistent use of rhetorical strategies across different political contexts, with metaphors like "battle," "journey," and "family" serving as powerful tools for political identity formation. Political figures commonly utilized pronouns like "we" and "they" to create in-group/out-group dynamics, and nationalistic metaphors were frequently employed to evoke emotional connections. The study also found that cultural and historical contexts influenced the effectiveness of these strategies, with notable differences in how political identities were constructed in each country. The findings underscore the critical role of discursive space in the strategic construction of political identities, contributing to a deeper understanding of how politicians craft messages that resonate with their audiences

Published: December 2024

Nuclei as a cell nucleus have been found since the 18th century. This discovery was then developed for the need for methods for diagnosing pathogenic organisms of an infectious disease at that time. The aim of this study is to review the principle of nucleic acid amplification test and describe the existing evidence regarding the role of the test in respiratory diseases. The study use the keywords, such as nucleic acid, diagonsis and nucleic acid amplification test, to invesitage relevant studies in PubMed and Google Scholar database. We found that nucleic acid-based testing techniques have evolved to adapt to the need for early and rapid detection and rely on a high level of accuracy. This continuously developed technology can replace conventional test methods. Conventional examination is known to take longer time so the definitive therapeutic might be delayed. However, there is still an obstacle, namely the cost of tests quite expensive because of the standard procedure that must be strictly followed, otherwise result might not be valid. The technique from the beginning needs to be carried out following the procedure, starting with the preparation of tools, how to take samples, how to deliver the samples to the laboratory, and how to process and analyze data. This procedure is necessary to minimize false positive or negative results. As a conclusion, nucleic acid assays is beneficial in pulmonary infectious diseases diagnosis, however it is high-cost and not recommended for treatment evaluation in pulmonary infection.

Published: December 2024

Background. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease in premature infants caused by an imbalance between lung injury and lung repair in the developing immature lungs of the newborn. Pulmonary inflammation is an important feature in the pathogenesis of BPD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the inflammatory microenvironment and the levels of visfatin and nesfatin-1, which are among the new adipocytokines, in BPD patients.
Methods. The groups consisted of 30 patients with BPD and 30 healthy children. Plasma levels of visfatin and nesfatin-1 and inflammation-related markers including interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-10 (IL-10), nuclear factor kappa B (Nf-κB) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RT-PCR was performed to evaluate the change in mRNA expression of visfatin and nesfatin-1 in the groups.
Results. Visfatin levels were significantly higher in the BPD group compared to the healthy control (7.05±4.07 ng/ml vs. 2.13±1.66 ng/ml, p<0.0001). There was a 1.36±0.12 fold increase in visfatin mRNA expression (p<0.05) in the BPD group. There was no significant difference in plasma levels of nesfatin-1, IL-4, and IL-10 between the groups. Although MMP-9 and Nf-κB levels were significantly higher in the BPD group (p<0.0001), there was no correlation between visfatin levels and MMP-9 and Nf-κB levels in BPD patients.
Conclusions. This study showed that significant changes in visfatin levels in BPD patients might be associated with the risk of developing inflammation in BPD.

Analysis of a High-Speed Airbreathing Research Combustor for JP-7 Fuel-Cooled Design
Authors: Thuney Laurin K. , Aslangil Denis
Published: December 2024

The continuing maturation of high-speed airbreathing engines has driven an emerging need for a technology transfer from the laboratory into vehicle design. It is now desirable to convert robust, laboratory combustor designs intended for hours of combustion into lightweight, fuel-cooled engines ready for vehicle integration and flight. In a flight-ready combustor, the heat loss of the combustor must be optimized. To understand the heat loss requirement of a laboratory combustor and attempt to optimize it for flight, historical heat loss data of a water-cooled, axisymmetric research combustor are analyzed to inform the conversion of this combustor to a fuel-cooled, flight-like, high-speed airbreathing combustor. Historical data are analyzed at high (0.9) and low (0.3) fuel–air equivalence ratio (ER) values; the analysis shows that the JP-7 cooling flow rate of the combustor can be reduced by 90% (ER 0.3) and 89% (ER 0.9) compared to the baseline research combustor design. This analysis provides an important first look at the cooling design modifications required to convert a research combustor with this internal flow path into a fuel-cooled, flight-ready combustor for use onboard a flight vehicle.

Published: December 2024

For the first time, a comprehensive megaregional analysis of features of potential gas saturation of shallow deposits of the Arctic seas of Eastern Siberia, Chukotka and Alaska was carried out for 2086 objects revealed in CDP seismic sections with a total length of 40 thousand km. It was established that the gas saturation of shallow deposits in the studied areas depended on their tectonic activity on late stages of sedimentation. The highest density of distribution of potentially gas-saturated objects was revealed in the Laptev, Chukchi and Bering seas; in the East Siberian Sea it was 5-6 times lower. Also, in this sea, a minimal share of objects near the bottom (up to 100 m) was observed. The results as a whole confirm low tectonic activity (dislocation) at the late stages of sedimentation in the East Siberian Sea, which concurs with the pattern of the CDP seismic sections. The results can serve as important information for increasing the efficiency and safety of oil and gas exploration in the studied offshore areas.

The authors have developed a program for calculating the density of the channel network of the current relief using SAGA GIS modules to identify low-amplitude tectonic disturbances in the sedimentary cover of the platform arctic and subarctic territories of the Russian Federation. The program allows automating the calculation of the drainage network density using the sequential execution of standard GIS package modules. The calculation takes into account not only the drainage network, but also linear depressions of the relief, which makes it possible to identify structures with increased activity of current tectonics. The authors have calculated the density of the channel network of the representative territory (Arkhangelsk Region) with different “windows”. Comparison of the results with tectonic disturbances have shown a high degree of coincidence. The proposed methodology is applicable to the plain arctic and subarctic territories of the Russian Federation.

Currently, the Russian Arctic is actively engaged in economic activity related to exploration, extraction and transportation of minerals, fishing, and shipping. Data on wind wave parameters were obtained based on the WAVEWATCH III spectral model, and on wind and sea ice concentration from the NCEP/CFSR/CFSv2 reanalysis for the period from 1979 to 2021. Data on cyclones were used from a database created on the basis of NCEP reanalysis and includes information on the trajectory of cyclones and their main characteristics from 1979 to 2015. Estimates of the interannual and seasonal variability in the number and duration of storms in the Laptev Sea, East Siberian and Chukchi Seas were obtained. The obtained trend estimates indicate an increase in the number and duration of storms in all the studied seas. A relationship was found between an increase in the number of storms and a decrease in the area of sea ice, as well as an increase in the number of cyclones.

This paper studies the content of organochlorine pesticides and PCBs in muscle and liver of Atlantic cod and plaice, caught in the Barents Sea in 2016-2022. Chromatograph mass spectrometry is used to detect the content of organochlorine compounds in fish. The concentrations of HCB, α-HCH, β-HCH, γ-HCH, cis-chlordane, trans-chlordane, and trans-nonachlor in fish tissues are quantified, along with DDT and its metabolites, as well as PCB congeners with numbers 28, 31, 52, 99, 101, 105, 118, 138, 153, 156 and 180. The average content of ∑HCHs, HCB, ∑DDTs and ∑PCBs in cod muscle is 0.7, 0.06, 0.81 and 1.0 ng/g, and their average content in plaice muscle is 2.3, 0.66, 2.3 and 3.5 ng/g of wet weight, respectively. In cod liver, the average content of ∑HCHs, HCB, ∑DDTs, ∑PCBs, ∑chlordanes is 3.3, 3.0, 36.8, 65.4 and 30.9 ng/g, and their average content in plaice liver is 4.6, 6.5, 19.1, 10.9 and 4.8 ng/g of wet weight, respectively. The studies show that in fish tissue α-HCH predominates in ∑HCHs, ppꞌ-DDE — in ∑DDTs and PCB-118, PCB-138 and PCB-153 — in ∑PCBs. The accumulation of organochlorine compounds in fish tissue is found to be species-specific in terms of content level and ratio of HCH isomers, DDT isomers and metabolites, PCB congeners and chlordanes. The content of ∑HCHs, ∑DDTs and ∑PCBs in fish muscle and liver do not exceed the safe standards established for fish products.

Published: December 2024

The BRI (Belt and Road) project is the vastest infrastructure initiative connecting different regions through China’s investment in transport networks and infrastructure. However, the project faces significant geopolitical risks that could significantly influence the efficiency and sustainability of traditional transport corridors. This article analyzes the risks associated with natural disasters for the Arctic BRI project, discusses the possibilities of its protection using insurance derivatives (insurance-linked securities, ILS) in general, and CAT bonds (parametric catastrophe bonds) in particular. The study includes a decomposition of natural disaster risks in the context of the Arctic BRI transport corridor linking China and European countries, and explores the possibilities of using parametric CAT bonds as a financial instrument to mitigate the impact of these risks.

The conducted research has shown that interpretation of medium-resolution multispectral images of the Landsat satellite program by supervised classification methods made it possible to form a spatial model of the land cover of the southeastern part of the Kola Peninsula with acceptable accuracy. Based on the assessment of the thematic and positional aspects of the reliability of interpretation, the researchers have concluded that such a supervised classification algorithm as the “minimum distance” method showed good reliability of the interpretation results, especially with respect to woody vegetation. Using this algorithm for an area of ​​more than 4 million hectares, a reliable spatial model of the land/vegetation cover has been developed, which is informative in a wide range of image scales. Analysis of spatial information has revealed that typical northern taiga coniferous and deciduous stands are represented to the southwest of the northern boundary of the sparse island distribution of permafrost. To the east of this boundary, woody vegetation exists in the form of separate massifs of pre-tundra sparse forests and along watercourses. In the area of ​​massive-island distribution of permafrost, there is practically no woody vegetation, or it is found only in the valleys of large rivers.
Implications of Boron Surface Abundances in Massive Stars
Authors: Jin Harim
Published: December 2024

The evolution of massive stars can be influenced by rotationally induced internal mixing, for which surface boron abundances can serve as a key indicator. We compare rotating single star models to observational data from massive stars with boron observation. Through a Bayesian analysis, we find that about two-thirds of the stars in our sample are well represented by the models, confirming the existence of rotational mixing in radiative stellar envelopes. They were well represented by the models with 50% weaker rotational mixing than the widely adopted one. However, one-third of the stars, which are mostly boron-depleted slow rotators, do not fit the models, suggesting that these stars may have experienced a different boron depletion mechanism or formation channel, such as a binary merger.
Blended learning поколения Z: технология возможностей

Published: December 2024

В данной статье авторы исследуют специфику восприятия представителями поколения Z образовательной технологии blended learning, активно внедряемой в учебный процесс во время пандемии, вызванной COVID-19. Мотивом, подтолкнувшим коллектив авторов провести подобное исследование, стала общественная дискуссия о новых форматах обучения и их эффективности. При этом голос ключевых стейкхолдеров, т.е. самих обучающихся, в данной дискуссии не был так отчетливо слышен. Чтобы прояснить позицию студентов и выявить причины, формирующие эту позицию, коллектив авторов провел опрос студентов в различных вузах г. Санкт-Петербурга. Опрос показал, что позиция «цифровых аборигенов» представляет собой синтез консервативной и либеральной точки зрения – студенты достаточно высоко оценивают потенциал новых форматов обучения и возможностей, которые они открывают, однако на сам процесс обучения и его архитектуру они предпочитают относиться достаточно консервативно. На основе полученных данных был проведен факторный анализ, результаты которого подтвердили изначальное предположение о синтетичности позиции представителей поколения Z и позволили структурировать причины специфичности позиции. Исследование является промежуточным в серии работ коллектива авторов о поколении Z. Авторы полагают, что изучение восприятия «зумерами» blended learning имеет существенное значение для исследования не только поколенческой аутентичности, но и новых форм взаимодействия с техникой современного общества в целом.

This paper explores the specifics of Generation Z perception of blended learning technology, which was actively introduced into the educational process during the pandemic caused by COVID-19. The motivation that prompted the team of authors to conduct such a study was the public debate about new learning formats and their effectiveness. At the same time, the voice of key stakeholders, i.e. students themselves, was not so clearly heard in this discussion. The survey showed that the position of "digital natives" is a synthesis of conservative and liberal point of view - students quite highly appreciate the potential of new learning formats and the opportunities they offer, but they prefer to treat the learning process itself and its architecture rather conservatively. Based on the data obtained, a factor analysis was conducted, the results of which confirmed the initial assumption about the synthetic position of representatives of Generation Z and allowed us to structure the reasons for the specificity of the position. The authors believe that the study of "Zumers'" perception of blended learning is a new form of interaction with technology in modern society as a whole.
Towards a part-of-speech tagger for Sranan Tongo
Authors: Nicolás C.V. , Viktor Z.
Published: December 2024

Abstract—This paper is the continuation of a work submitted to the International Conference Corpus Linguistics 2021 [1]. On that occasion, a rule-based stochastic hybrid part-of-speech tagger (POS) was introduced for Sranan Tongo, a Creole language from South America with around half a million speakers. Since Sranan Tongo does not have a written corpus and text annotation is an expensive and time-consuming task, it was proposed to take a first step in training a POS tagger using only 550 hand-annotated sentences with part of speech tags. In this new contribution, the development of the POS tagger for Sranan Tongo goes a step further with the addition of more training data. For this matter, the tagger was used to annotate 2,406 sentences. The tagging results were hand-corrected and employed to retrain the model. A comparison is shown between the performance of the POS tagger on three texts before and after the inclusion of the new training data.
The QR code as a symbol of protest: analysis of social network VKontakte
Authors: Legostaeva N. , Svetlov K.
Published: December 2024

In this study, we examine data from the popular Russian social network "VKontakte" to understand what types of discourses on the topic of QR codes are spread in it, including discourses related to protests. Clustering based on the doc2vec algorithm proved to be an effective method to group the communities by related topics. In particular, this approach allowed us to detect a cluster of communities representing op-ponents of QR code technology related to vaccination certificates from COVID-2019. As a result, both classical (coordinated actions, pickets, distribution of leaflets, appeals to the President of the Russian Federation, petitions, etc.) and new types of protests against QR codes were revealed (offline and online boycotts, car rallies, music marathons, cyber-attacks on state chat-bots and social media accounts of government representatives, etc.).
