Associations Between Adolescent Problematic Internet Use and Relationship Problems in Chinese Families: Findings from a Large-scale Survey
Authors: Hayixibayi Alimila , Strodl Esben , Chen Wei-Qing , Kelly Adrian B
Published: August 2022

Background

Problematic internet use (PIU) is prevalent among Chinese adolescents. There is a need to better understand how the quality of parent-adolescent relationship is associated with adolescent PIU to guide the development of effective prevention and early intervention programs.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate parent-adolescent conflict and parenting styles as potential risk factors associated with adolescent PIU.

Methods

A sample of 6552 students (aged 10-19 years) from 22 schools in Guangdong, China, was recruited. The participants completed self-report questionnaires measuring their perceptions of conflict with their parents (involving verbal conflict, emotional abuse, and physical abuse) as well as their perceptions of their parents’ parenting styles (including parental care and parental control as measured by the Parental Bonding Inventory), and PIU using the Adolescent Pathological Internet Use Scale. Grade level and gender were examined as moderators of these associations.

Results

Using multiple regression analyses, we found that greater mother-adolescent conflict, father-adolescent conflict, and parental control, and lower levels of parental care, were associated with higher levels of adolescent PIU (P<.001). The association between mother-adolescent conflict and PIU was stronger in older students than in younger students (P=.04), whereas the association between father-adolescent conflict and PIU was stronger in male students than in female students (P=.02). Compared with those who reported no mother-adolescent conflict, participants who experienced verbal conflict and emotional abuse, but not physical abuse from their mothers, reported higher levels of PIU (P<.001). Compared with those who reported no father-adolescent conflict, participants who experienced verbal conflict, emotional abuse, and physical abuse from their fathers had significantly higher levels of PIU (P<.001, P<.001, and P=.02, respectively).

Conclusions

These findings point to the value of interventions to reduce parental verbal conflict, emotional abuse, and physical abuse, and to increase positive parenting styles, to lower the risk of PIU in Chinese adolescents.
Video Consultations in General Practice: Tendencies and Lessons Learned From the First COVID-19 Lockdown Period
Authors: Assing Hvidt Elisabeth , Grønning Anette , Lüchau Elle , Nordtug Maja , Bavngaard Martin , Søndergaard Jens
Published: August 2022

Background

Video consultation was urgently introduced in general practice in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, where a rapid implementation ensured patients’ continued access to their general practitioner (GP). With the Danish lockdown in March 2020, the use of video consultations in general practice increased drastically and then declined significantly shortly after as society gradually reopened. Today, only a small proportion of the total number of consultations in general practice is made up of video consultations, and there is great variation in the scope and use of video consultation among GPs and practice staff.

Objective

The aim of this paper is to present research findings from a qualitative, interdisciplinary project, investigating GP and patient experiences with video consultations during the first lockdown period in 2020, which might help explain the abovementioned tendencies in relation to scope and implementation variances.

Methods

The data corpus includes data generated through semistructured interviews with 27 patients and 15 GPs, as well as 8 video recordings of video consultations between GP and patient.

Results

The patients reported positive experiences with consulting their GP through video, valuing increased convenience and spatial flexibility and wishing for future use of video consultation as either a supplement or an alternative to physical consultation. Video consultation furthermore presented a new communicative context in which both patients and GPs enacted distinct forms of technologically facilitated participation.

Conclusions

To further the best use of video consultation in future general practice, organizational and individual factors such as renumeration, task delegation, time pressure, and professional identity need to be considered.

Ser educadora de párvulos en tiempos de incertidumbre: desafíos para su desarrollo profesional en contexto COVID-19
Authors: Figueroa-Céspedes Ignacio , Guerra Zamora Paula , Madrid Zan Alejandro
Published: August 2022

La pandemia por la COVID-19 desafió a docentes e instituciones educativas a continuar desarrollando su trabajo a pesar del cierre de sus instalaciones, lo que los llevó a buscar alternativas pedagógicas. Este artículo busca comprender cómo un grupo de educadoras de párvulos chilenas han experimentado las demandas de la pandemia en su accionar profesional. Este artículo es parte de un estudio cualitativo más amplio, de corte narrativo, y focaliza en las experiencias de seis educadoras experimentadas en ejercicio, a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas estudiadas por un análisis temático. Se encontraron cuatro temas principales que constituyen desafíos para su aprendizaje profesional: (1) la incertidumbre y coexistencia de roles, (2) el dominio de las tecnologías para el aprendizaje remoto, (3) la relación con las familias, y (4) las tensiones pedagógicas en torno a la enseñanza virtual en contextos de primera infancia. Estas cuatro categorías se articulan en torno a la necesidad de formar y acompañar a las educadoras para dar mejores respuestas a la enseñanza en contextos de incertidumbre, al mismo tiempo que emerge la necesidad de reconocer el quehacer de las educadoras de párvulos para nuestra sociedad.
Coplanar Antenna Design for Microwave Entangled Signals Propagating in Open Air
Authors: Gonzalez-Raya Tasio , Sanz Mikel
Published: August 2022

Open-air microwave quantum communication and metrology protocols must be able to transfer quantum resources from a cryostat, where they are created, to an environment dominated by thermal noise. Indeed, the states carrying such quantum resources are generated in a cryostat characterized by a temperature Tin≃50 mK and an intrinsic impedance Zin=50Ω. Then, an antenna-like device is required to transfer them with minimal losses into open air, characterized by an intrinsic impedance of Zout=377Ω and a temperature Tout≃300 K. This device accomplishes a smooth impedance matching between the cryostat and the open air. Here, we study the transmission of two-mode squeezed thermal states, developing a technique to design the optimal shape of a coplanar antenna to preserve the entanglement. Based on a numerical optimization procedure, we find the optimal shape of the impedance, and we propose a functional ansatz to qualitatively describe this shape. Additionally, this study reveals that the reflectivity of the antenna is very sensitive to this shape, so that small changes dramatically affect the outcoming entanglement, which could have been a limitation in previous experiments employing commercial antennae. This work is relevant in the fields of microwave quantum sensing and quantum metrology with special application to the development of the quantum radar, as well as any open-air microwave quantum communication protocol.
Quantum message-passing algorithm for optimal and efficient decoding
Authors: Piveteau Christophe , Renes Joseph M.
Published: August 2022

Recently, Renes proposed a quantum algorithm called belief propagation with quantum messages (BPQM) for decoding classical data encoded using a binary linear code with tree Tanner graph that is transmitted over a pure-state CQ channel \cite{renes_2017}, i.e., a channel with classical input and pure-state quantum output. The algorithm presents a genuine quantum counterpart to decoding based on the classical belief propagation algorithm, which has found wide success in classical coding theory when used in conjunction with LDPC or Turbo codes. More recently Rengaswamy etal. \cite{rengaswamy_2020} observed that BPQM implements the optimal decoder on a small example code, in that it implements the optimal measurement that distinguishes the quantum output states for the set of input codewords with highest achievable probability. Here we significantly expand the understanding, formalism, and applicability of the BPQM algorithm with the following contributions. First, we prove analytically that BPQM realizes optimal decoding for any binary linear code with tree Tanner graph. We also provide the first formal description of the BPQM algorithm in full detail and without any ambiguity. In so doing, we identify a key flaw overlooked in the original algorithm and subsequent works which implies quantum circuit realizations will be exponentially large in the code dimension. Although BPQM passes quantum messages, other information required by the algorithm is processed globally. We remedy this problem by formulating a truly message-passing algorithm which approximates BPQM and has quantum circuit complexity O(poly n,polylog 1ϵ), where n is the code length and ϵ is the approximation error. Finally, we also propose a novel method for extending BPQM to factor graphs containing cycles by making use of approximate cloning. We show some promising numerical results that indicate that BPQM on factor graphs with cycles can significantly outperform the best possible classical decoder.
The Effect of Dentures' Overnight Soaking in Distilled Water: A Mycological Pilot Study
Authors: Aoun Georges
Published: August 2022

Introduction: In order to keep their dentures clean and
properly stored, patients generally soak them in water at night. Candida
albicans is a commensal yeast fungus that colonizes dentures, and in
some conditions, it becomes an opportunistic pathogen and causes fungal
infections known as candidiasis. Objective: This pilot study
aimed to evaluate the effect of distilled water on Candida albicans
colonizing dentures. Materials and methods: Twenty patients (9
men, 11 women; age range 40-75 years) with complete maxillary dentures
infected by Candida albicans were included in this study. The dentures
of these patients were soaked in distilled water for 4 days (8 hours at
night). Swab samples from the dentures were collected before and after
distilled water use and examined mycologically. Results: The
Candida albicans colony counts increased after soaking the dentures in
distilled water for 8 hours for 4 days. Conclusion: Patients
should be dissuaded from soaking their dentures overnight in distilled
water as the result is a significant increase in fungal colonization.
The Evolutionary Basis for Human Tolerance: human ‘self-domestication’?
Authors: Spikins Penny
Published: August 2022

The idea that humans could be ‘self-domesticated’ is certainly rather strange and unlikely sounding, perhaps not entirely out of keeping with something we might expect to find in a science fiction novel. However, there is good evidence that changes in emotional tendencies and capacities in recent human evolution (after 300,000 years ago) followed some similar pathways to those seen in domesticated species. Furthermore, these changes are not necessarily limited to animals that have been deliberately domesticated by humans, with some of these developments also seen in bonobos, which, alongside chimpanzees, are our nearest living relatives. Though questions and debates remain about why and how these changes might have occurred, genetic and anatomical evidence, alongside changes in the archaeological record, support the notion that changes similar to domestication were occurring in humans. The concept that the evolution of human emotional tendencies and capacities may have followed similar changes in increasing tolerance seen in domestic animals is a challenging one. Rather than elevating modern humans above other animals, it would imply that some of the most crucial adaptations in our recent evolutionary past are shared with many other species. Moreover, with many traits changing under simple and single selection pressures, it contradicts any notion that human capacities are necessarily ‘adaptive’. Many of our social traits may simply be emerging alongside key changes but have no adaptive role, or even be a disadvantage. There are also added complexities. Increasing tolerance associated with self-domestication has largely been viewed as an entirely progressive development in the recent human past, opening up possibilities for more tolerant and connected communities to emerge and, in turn, enabling communities to become more resilient to resource shortfalls. However, there are costs and disadvantages to these changes in emotions, particularly at the individual level, which are rarely considered. Heightened sensitivities to social and cultural context, and hypersociability, bring increased vulnerabilities to disrupted emotional well-being in unsupportive contexts, as well as the types of challenges we associate with a certain eagerness to please. The emotional challenges that self-domestication brought may have been part of processes leading to compensatory mechanisms, such as attachment fluidity and tendencies to be driven to find additional emotional support and comfort outside of human relationships (discussed in Chapters 6 and 7).
In the Company of Wolves: compensatory attachments and the human-dog bond
Authors: Spikins Penny
Published: August 2022

Why are we able to form such an intense emotional bond with other animals, such as dogs, despite them being so different from ourselves in so many ways? In this chapter, we consider the human emotional vulnerabilities that drove our close relationships with canids. We explore how an understanding of compensatory attachments can provide a new perspective on the inclusion of wolves into human societies, and the significance of their dog descendants to our emotional wellbeing today. We first explore the roles of dogs in present hunting and gathering societies, and the potential significance of bringing wolf companions into our emotional lives. We find that, whilst there are considerable cultural differences, dogs and people have a capacity to form remarkably strong bonds, and dogs can take up a sometimes-uncomfortable position as almost human. We then ask whether the domestication of wolves may have been more influenced by human emotional needs than we may have currently assumed. Whilst we tend to view the domestication of wolves as a process engineered by humans, and indicative of our particular elevated capabilities or intelligence, our emotional vulnerability and capacity to make compensatory attachment may have had a key role to play. A closer consideration of our shared evolutionary history reveals that wolves and humans share a deep past of becoming incrementally closer to each other in terms of social emotional motivations. As we have seen in Part 1, selection pressures over the last 2 million years moved human emotional motivations closer to those of highly collaborative social carnivores such as wolves, whilst, as we have seen in Chapters 4 and 5, the period 300,000 to 30,000 years ago brought new capacities to make novel relationships, and new emotional vulnerabilities. During this period, the emotional motivations of wolves seem to have moved closer to those of humans through living in close proximity. Wolf domestication is, perhaps, best seen as a two-way process in which each species moved to fill an emotional gap in each other’s lives.
What If? The Evolutionary Basis for Different Pathways
Authors: Spikins Penny
Published: August 2022

All too often, we see our evolutionary past as some inevitable ladder of progression. In considering our emotional connections, it is easy to imagine that the increased external friendliness and sensitivity seen in ‘modern’ humans represents some progressive or superior development from a more aggressive past. However, a close consideration of how external friendliness changes in closely related species reveals a far more complex picture, with advantages and disadvantages to different evolutionary pathways, each displaying a different type of prosocial or collaborative behaviour. There are always many possible evolutionary pathways, affecting brains, bodies and behaviours. Here, however, we focus on simple contrasts in the adaptive routes followed within our nearest living relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos, and those within our closest friends, wolves and dogs. This brings some insights into how an increased openness, and the capacities to develop new external bonds, may have evolved. We reveal that each evolutionary pathway brought both advantages and disadvantages, depending on context, rather than any specific pathway being a progression. Our similar physiological and behavioural adaptations under pressures to be more tolerant (discussed in Part 2) suggest that the same processes that occurred in these species also affected humans. An understanding of our evolutionary past as one of different alternative trajectories, and of possibilities and constraints along these, helps to frame our understanding of the process of human evolution, and the story of our origins.
Reframing Neanderthals
Authors: Spikins Penny
Published: August 2022

Neanderthals have occupied a rather problematic position in our evolutionary history for many years. Neanderthals and modern humans share fundamental features of humanity, such as care for the vulnerable, yet differences in their use of symbolism, adoption of innovations and intergroup relationships have been hard to explain. Evidence suggests that Neanderthals lived in small living groups with only rare connections to outsiders and high levels of inbreeding, whilst modern human populations from their first arrival in Europe were highly interconnected and maintained connections between communities stretching over large regions. It has been tempting to interpret these differences in terms of an inferior social or intellectual cognition in Neanderthals. Subtle differences in emotional dispositions may, however, be a better explanation. A more inwardly focused or close-knit nature of Neanderthal communities, and a more outwardly focused or approachable nature of modern humans, can explain previously enigmatic elements of their archaeological record without recourse to ideas of progression or advancement. Our understanding of Neanderthals as displaying subtly different emotional dispositions gives us an opportunity to think about human evolution differently. Rather than a ladder, or even a braided stream, here we argue that our evolutionary past is better conceptualised as a series of branching pathways which sometimes rejoin and sometimes follow different directions. Allowing past hominins to be different but equal opens up new lines of interpretation, as well as challenging us to understand that there is more than one way to be human.

Authors: Dantas Ângela Maria Morais , Soares Valéria Pereira , Toledo Evelyn Jeniffer de Lima
Published: August 2022

A efetivação do letramento científico se torna cada vez mais distante de ser alcançado em tempo de Pandemia, discentes e docentes vivenciam um contexto atípico e com restrições diversas. Dificuldades encontradas no processo de ensino e aprendizagem podem ocasionar a desmotivação dos envolvidos. Nessa perspectiva, faz-se necessária a utilização de diferentes estratégias para que o aluno se sinta motivado no processo de apropriação dos saberes culturalmente estabelecidos, além de ter fortalecidas as suas relações interpessoais, o sentimento de competência e a autonomia. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar o impacto de um Clube de Ciências realizado de maneira exclusivamente remota como uma estratégia motivadora para a formação dos alunos nas áreas de Ciências. Utilizou-se a teoria das Necessidades Psicológicas Básicas (NPB) e da Autodeterminação de Deci e Ryan, que trata da regulação da motivação através das NPB de autonomia, competência e pertencimento. A metodologia da pesquisa se deu de forma híbrida, com instrumento qualitativo e quantitativo. Como resultado foi observado que o Clube de Ciências, exclusivamente remoto, nutriu a motivação dos discentes envolvidos. Porém, o acesso à internet fora um dificultador. Dessa forma, conclui-se que a implementação do clube pode ser uma estratégia para motivar os alunos na apropriação de saberes, no fortalecimento das relações entre os clubistas, algo muito importante nesse contexto restritivo, além de favorecer a autonomia e o sentimento de Competência dos envolvidos, fatores esses que podem ser intensificados se todos os membros tiverem acesso à internet para os encontros síncronos.

Energy Management of Microgrid Considering Demand Response Using Honey Badger Optimizer
Authors: Nehmedo Alamir  , Salah Kamel  , Tamer F. Megahed  , Maiya Hori  , Sobhy M. Abdelkader
Published: August 2022

Recently, Microgrids (MGs) have received great attention for solving power system problems, due to their low environmental effects and their economic benefits. This paper proposes a new application of an effective metaheuristic optimization method, namely, Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA), to solve energy management for optimal dispatch of the grid connected MG incorporating Demand Response programs (DRP). Honey badger algorithm is used to solve an incentive DRP, with the aim of minimizing the total cost, which includes conventional generators fuel cost and the cost of power transaction with the main grid considering the load demand. In this paper, two case studies are conducted using HBA and simulation results are compared with those obtained by other algorithms (particle swarm optimization and JAYA algorithm). First case consists of three diesel generators, a PV generator and a wind generator. To prove the scalability of the HBA, the second case, which is much larger, is tested. Simulation results for both case studies obtained by PSO, JAYA, and HBA are deeply discussed. The results show the HBA's effectiveness in solving the energy management with DR problem for MG compared with other well-known optimization techniques.
Analysis of electricity consumption in university buildings and possible improvements due to Spanish financial helps announcement. Study of the state of the art.

Published: August 2022

It is interesting to study electricity consumption in buildings due to the fact that it can lead to useful information that can help society as a whole. Lots of studies have been performed in residential buildings since every individual can have access to their electricity consumption. Even though these studies have a real use case and are really important to achieve high scale energy savings, the individual contribution of each residential building is not very high. For this reason, the research on more impactful infrastructure becomes of great interest, such as university campuses. This paper aims to perform areview of the state of the art regarding electricity consumption in university buildings. In this context, studies about electricity consumption in university buildings do exist but are much scarcer and tend to focus on a variety of topics such as prediction of future consumptions or assessment of the impact of people’s behaviour in it.

The continuous growth of the world population is causing an increase in the demands for food and energy of the population. Given these circumstances and the negative consequences derived from climate change, it is necessary to evolve towards a more efficient and sustainable agricultural system. In this sense, the agrivoltaic proposes to combine agricultural production and photovoltaic energy production in the same piece of land. Several studies have analysed the behaviour of the agrivoltaic facilities from a theoretical point of view. However, it is necessary to test the viability of this new system in experimental plants. In this work an experimental agrivoltaic plant developed in Córdoba (Spain) is described. The preliminary results of this study show that agrivoltaics can and should play a fundamental role in the energy model of the countries since it promotes the development of renewable energies while improving the economic performance of agricultural land.

Legal status of the law expert in civil judiciary
Authors: Tatulych I. Yu.
Published: August 2022

The article analyzes the legal status of a legal expert in civil proceedings. The current procedural legislation regulating the issue of the legal personality of a law expert is described. Emphasis is on the lack of clear requirements in procedural law for this person, in particular, there are only the requirements to have a degree and - be recognized as a specialist in the field of law. The author substantiates the expediency of fixing the criteria that a judge must take into account in the case of admission of an expert to the case. The procedure for involving a legal expert has been studied. The article considers the issue of the place and significance of the legal expert's report in the process of proving as well as the content of the report. The author approves the provision of the norm, which fixes the legal expert's opinion on the application and interpretation of foreign law in accordance with their official or generally accepted interpretation, practice, and doctrine in the foreign country, as today international standards are the main guideline for the development of our state. It is also noteworthy that as an expert on this issue, it may be possible to involve a foreign expert who has a more accurate and complete knowledge of the applicable law. The paper proves the need to bring a legal expert to justice if he/ she violates the admission procedure and filing a report to the court, in particular criminal liability or, at least, the judge's decision. The article also emphasizes the right of the parties to the case to recuse the said party by analogy with other participants in the trial. There is special attention to the terminological differences in the definition of "a law expert". As a result, there was established the single name "a legal expert". The author considers the positions of scholars on the procedural status of the law expert in civil proceedings, which served to formulate the author's definition of a legal expert in civil proceedings. Based on the results of the study, there were formulated conclusions and proposals to the current domestic legislation.
Historical origins of the establishment of the institute of commercial mediation in the sphere of economic activity
Authors: Zaborovskyy V.V. , Manzyuk V.V. , Vashkovich V.V.
Published: August 2022

This article reveals the basics of the institution of commercial intermediation. The evolution of various forms of existence of this economic and legal institution is studied. The transformation of the activity of commercial intermediaries from ancient times to the middle of the twentieth century is analyzed.

To achieve this goal, the author analyzed the works of famous historians, lexicographers and social researchers. Based on this, it was concluded that trade intermediation as such arose immediately with the exchange of goods and provided, first of all, the interests of the country.

Powerful states, which focused on market turnover and economic growth, put under government regulation such activities as trade intermediation. And at the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the social importance of this activity is growing significantly, as evidenced by the establishment of requirements for such a profession, and bringing its representatives to the state.

The issue of automation of part of the function of this profession is being raised, in particular with the help of smart contracts (B2B) and chatbots (B2C).

The study provides an opportunity to conclude that commercial mediation in its various manifestations has existed since ancient times, and the profession itself was respected and influential in all societies. After all, the commercial world and the needs of the world market only attract the growth of this type of economic activity, leading to the gradation of its varieties and forms.
Administrative responsibility for offenses in the field of subsoil use: theoretical and legal aspect
Authors: Machuska I.B.
Published: August 2022

The article is devoted to the study of theoretical problems related to the application of measures of administrative liability for offenses in the field of subsoil use.

In the article the author emphasizes that in the field of subsoil use there is a significant range of problems, one of which is the unauthorized extraction of minerals, which causes irreparable damage to the environment. The author analyzes a significant range of offenses related to the illegal extraction of minerals (coal, amber) in Donetsk, Luhansk and Rivne regions.

It is noted that ensuring legality in the field of subsoil use requires ensuring an effective mechanism of state coercion with the application of administrative liability for the rational use of subsoil.

It is established that relations in the field of subsoil use are complex, both from the standpoint of legal content and from the standpoint of their role and place in the system of public relations, which necessitates a particularly balanced state policy in the field of subsoil protection and management.

In the article the author emphasizes that the institute of administrative responsibility plays a special role in the state regulation of protection of relations in the field of subsoil use and is one of the effective means used for violations of subsoil legislation.

It is noted that the institute of administrative responsibility in the field of subsoil use has significant shortcomings, both in terms of building the rules and in terms of the content of sanctions.

It is proved that the content of the relevant articles of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses does not contain all the necessary provisions on administrative liability for offenses in the field of subsoil use, namely: illegal mining and subsoil protection measures.
Legal principles of IT-taxation in Ukraine
Authors: Solodan K.V.
Published: August 2022

Global digitalization is a consequence of the development of information technology, as the latter interact with all areas of modern life. The global Covid-19 pandemic has led most businesses to move to telecommuting, forcing them to use e-commerce and other forms of IT in part or in full. Such a rapid spread of the use of IT activities and their results raises the issue of proper legal regulation of taxation of this type of activity, for which it is necessary to determine the legal principles on which the taxation of IT activities in Ukraine should be based. Ukrainian and foreign scholars have studied the legal principles and principles of taxation, but the legal principles of taxation of IT activities in Ukraine have not been studied.

The article analyzes the views of Ukrainian and foreign scholars on the definition of legal principles of taxation and determines that the legal principles of taxation of IT activities are determined by the laws of economics guidelines for legal regulation of taxation of IT activities, ensuring the interests of IT entities, the state and society. It is stated that the taxation of IT activities can be carried out on the same principles as ordinary business activities, but the general principles are specific to IT activities. Therefore, the Tax Code of Ukraine should be supplemented by a separate article that will provide for the principles of taxation of IT activities. Such principles include the principles applicable to the taxation of this activity in the EU Member States and the United States: neutrality, effectiveness, certainty and simplicity, efficiency and fairness, flexibility. However, given the cross-border nature of IT, the principle of determining tax jurisdiction is particularly important. According to the author, it is appropriate to give preference to the application of the principle of territoriality of tax jurisdiction as a legal principle of taxation of IT activities in Ukraine. This is due to the widespread use of the Internet by IT entities, which allows them to register in jurisdictions with low tax burdens, while conducting their business and earning income in Ukraine. And the taxation of IT entities in the jurisdiction of the state of income (destination country) should become a legal principle of taxation of IT activities in Ukraine.
