BOUNDARY-VALUE PROBLEM FOR THE MULTI-TERM FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WITH CAPUTO DERIVATIVE
Authors: Boichuk O. , Feruk V.
Published: December 2023

The extensive application of fractional differential equations and boundary-value problems for these equations promotes the development of the theory and the appearance of numerous publications in this field. One of the types of such equations are equations containing more than one differential operator of fractional order.
This paper deals with the study of linear boundary-value problem for the multi-term fractional differential equation with the Caputo derivative. We considered the left fractional Caputo derivative, which is convenient for the description of systems with memory. The boundaryvalue problem is specified by linear vector functional such that the number of it components does not coincide with the number of the orders of the derivative. Assume that the coefficients of the equation are continuous functions and the orders of the derivative are commensurate. A multi-term fractional differential equation is reduced to an equivalent system of differential equations containing only one fractional operator. The general solution of the system of fractional differential equations consisting of a general solution of the associated homogeneous system and the arbitrary particular solution of the inhomogeneous system is considered. The particular solution we found, which is also a solution of the system of linear Volterra integral equations of the second kind with square summable kernels. The question of the solvability of the boundary-value problem for the multi-term fractional differential equations was studied. We considered the critical case, i.e. case when the homogeneous problem has nontrivial solutions. By using the theory of pseudo-inverse matrices, the necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability of the given problem are established. Moreover, a family of linearly independent solutions of this boundary-value problem is constructed.

In 1890, Giuseppe Peano  published an example of a continuous curve passing through every point of the square $[0,1]^2$. A curve with such properties is called a Peano curve. In fact, Peano constructed a continuous surjective mapping from the unit segment $[0,1]$ to the square $[0,1]^2$. Peano's research was motivated by one   result of George Cantor that the set of points of a unit segment has the same cardinality as the set of points of a unit square.In 1890, Giuseppe Peano  published an example of a continuous curve passing through every point of the square $[0,1]^2$. A curve with such properties is called a Peano curve. In fact, Peano constructed a continuous surjective mapping from the unit segment $[0,1]$ to the square $[0,1]^2$. Peano's research was motivated by one   result of George Cantor that the set of points of a unit segment has the same cardinality as the set of points of a unit square. According to the Hahn-Mazurkevich theorem the Hausdorff topological space $X$ is a continuous image of a unit segment $[0,1]$ if and only if when $X$ is compact, metrizable, connected, locally connected and nonempty. The Hausdorff continuous image of a segment is called {\it Peano space} or {\it Peano continuum}. Sierpinski proved that a connected compact metric space $X$ is a Peano continuum if and only if for every $\varepsilon>0$ the space $X$ can be covered by connected sets of the diameter $\le\varepsilon$. Therefore, naturally arises question about the investigation of disconnected metric spaces $X$ for which there is a continuous surjection between $X$ and $X^2$. Sierpinski   characterized rational numbers as a metric countable space without isolated points. Hausdorff  described irrational numbers as a metric, separable, completely metrizable, zero-dimensional and nowhere locally compact space. It follows, in particular, that the square $\mathbb Q^2$ is a continuous image of the set $\mathbb Q$ and the square of irrational numbers is a continuous image of the set   of irrational numbers. Thus, it would be interesting to find a description of other disconnected subsets of the real line, except those that are homeomorphic to $\mathbb Q$ or $\mathbb R\setminus Q$. In this article we will focus on countable sets such that the set of isolated points of which may not be empty. The main result is the following (see Theorem 2): the square of a countable regular topological space $X$ is its continuous image if and only if $X$ is not compact.
POST'S PSEUDO-DIFFERENTIAL OPERATOR IN S-TYPE SPACES
Authors: Litovchenko V.
Published: December 2023

During the last few decades, the theory of fractional differentiation and pseudo-differential operators, which naturally generalize and extend the concepts of classical derivative and differential operations, has been rapidly developing. The reason for this development is primarily the close connection of pseudo-differential operators and fractional differentiation with important problems of analysis and modern mathematical physics. It turned out that such player operators play an important role in the theory of analytical boundary-value problems (in the study of the index of the problem, in reduction to the boundary of the region, etc.), in microlocal analysis, in the theory of random processes, with the help of fractal differentiation operators heat-diffusive processes in porous media, etc. There are different approaches to the generalization of the classical derivative, the implementation of which gave rise to a variety of fractional differentiation and pseudodifferentiation operations. In this connection, there is a natural need for a comparative characterization of these generalizations, which is convenient to conduct through the prism of the classical form of fractional differentiation on elements with "sufficiently good" properties. In addition, the representation of this or that pseudo-differentiation operation in such a classical form makes it possible to use a rather convenient Fourier transform apparatus for the analysis of problems with these operations. In this work, the question of the possibility of representation in S type spaces of I.M.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF QUASI-METRIC AND PARTIAL METRIC SPACES
Authors: Myronyk V. , Mykhaylyuk V.
Published: December 2023

The notion of a partial metric space was introduced by S. Matthews \cite{Matthews1992} in 1992. This notion arose as a certain extension of the notion of metric spaces and was used in computer science, where there are non-Hausdorff topological models. A function $p:X^2\to [0,+\infty)$ is called {\it a partial metric} on $X$ if for all $x,y,z\in X$ the following conditions hold: $(p_1)$ $x=y$ if and only if $p(x,x)=p(x,y)=p(y,y)$; $(p_2)$ $p(x,x)\leq p(x,y)$; $(p_3)$ $p(x,y)=p(y,x)$; \mbox{$(p_4)$ $p(x,z)\leq p(x,y)+p(y,z)-p(y,y)$.}

The topology of a partial metric space $(X,p)$ is generated by the corresponding quasi-metric $q_p(x,y)=p(x,y)-p(x,x)$. Topological and metrical properties of partial metric spaces have been studied by many mathematicians. According to \cite{HWZ}, a quasi-metric space $(X,q)$ is called: {\it sequentially isosceles} if $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}q(y,x_n)=q(y,x)$ for any $y\in X$ and every sequence of $x_n\in X$ that converges to $x\in X$; {\it sequentially equilateral} if a sequence of $y_n\in X$ converges to $x\in X$ while there exists a convergent to $x$ sequence of $x_n\in X$ with $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}q(y_n,x_n)=0$; {\it sequentially symmetric} a sequence of $x_n\in X$ converges to $x\in X$ while $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}q(x_n,x)=0$; {\it metric-like} if $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}q(x_n,x)=0$ for every convergent to $x\in X$ sequence of $x_n\in X$. It was proved in \cite{HWZ} and \cite{Lu-2020} that: $(i)$ every sequentially equilateral quasi-metric space is sequentially symmetric; $(ii)$ every metric-like quasi-metric space is sequentially isosceles; $(iii)$ every metric-like and sequentially symmetric quasi-metric space is sequentially equilateral.

A topological characterization of sequentially isosceles, sequentially equilateral, sequentially symmetric and metric-like quasi-metric spaces were obtained. Moreover, examples which show that there are no other connections between the indicated types of spaces, except for $(i)-(iii)$ even in the class of metrizable partial metric spaces have been constructed.
ON SOME PROPERTIES OF THE DIGIT SHIFT OPERATOR Q_s^*-REPRESENTATION OF REAL NUMBERS AND UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED SEQUENCES PRODUCED BY IT
Authors: Skakun D. , Kryvoshiya R.
Published: December 2023

The work is devoted to the study of the properties of the left-shift operator $Q_{s}^{*}$-representation of real numbers and the study of the type of distribution of the sequences produced by the corresponding operator. The $Q_{s}^{*}$-representation of real numbers is a natural generalization of the classical s-representation and is topologically similar to the latter. E. Borel's classic result that almost all numbers are s-normal was over time translated into the terms of uniformly distributed sequences produced by the left-shift operator of the digits of the corresponding representation. It was proved that a number is s-normal only when the corresponding sequence generated by this number in the sense of the left shift operator is uniformly distributed. Despite the topological similarity between the $Q_{s}^{*}$-representation of real numbers and the classical s-representation, proving similar results for the former requires fundamentally new approaches that include the use of the apparatus of ergodic theory. The absence of the effect of metric transitivity of the appearance of digits, which is characteristic of the classical s-representation, does not allow the use of appropriate approaches to the $Q_{s}^{*}$-representation. The construction of normal numbers in various representation systems is a separate non-trivial problem and is the subject of many studies. In many cases, criteria for the normality of numbers, which can have a continuous structure (similar to the classical criteria of uniform distribution of the sequence) or a discrete structure, are useful for constructing the corresponding numbers. This paper presents generalizations of discrete criteria for the normality of numbers, which applied both to the classical s-representation and to the $Q_{s}$-representation of real numbers (the latter is a partial case of the $Q_{s}^{*}$-representation).

Kakvoća prehrane trudnica i žena koje planiraju trudnoću oboljelih od upalnih bolesti crijeva
Authors: Drenški Martina , Vranešić Bender Darija
Published: December 2023

Trudnoća je vrlo osjetljivo razdoblje u životu žene, osobito kada se uz trudnoću veže dijagnoza kronične bolesti. Upalne bolesti crijeva su kronične autoimune bolesti koje nastaju kao rezultat interakcija između genetskih i okolišnih čimbenika. Upalne bolesti crijeva obuhvaćaju ulcerozni kolitis, Crohnovu bolest, mikroskopski kolitis i neklasificiranu upalnu bolest crijeva. Vršak incidencije upalnih bolesti crijeva javlja se između 15. i 30. godine života. Kod velikog broja žena bolest se javlja upravo u generativnoj dobi, što može značajno utjecati na odluku o ostvarivanju trudnoće. Osobe oboljele od upalnih bolesti crijeva nakon postavljanja dijagnoze i u razdoblju pogoršanja kliničke slike vrlo često isključuju pojedine namirnice ili skupine namirnica iz prehrane kako bi ublažili simptome bolesti, pa nedostatak nutrijenata nije rijetkost. Razdoblje pripreme za trudnoću, sama trudnoća i dojenje razdoblja su u životu žene koja su povezana s povećanim potrebama za energijom i određenim nutrijentima koji se smatraju ključnima za rast i razvoj djeteta te za zdravlje majke. Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati kakvoću prehrane trudnica i žena koje planiraju trudnoću s dijagnozom upalnih bolesti crijeva u Republici Hrvatskoj, kako bi se utvrdila učestalost provođenja eliminacijskih dijeta koje mogu rezultirati narušavanjem nutritivnog statusa. Informacije o učestalosti konzumiranja različitih skupina namirnica, korištenju dodataka prehrani, provođenju eliminacijskih dijeta, te karakteristikama trudnoće prikupljene su putem anketnog upitnika. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 15 ispitanica oboljelih od upalnih bolesti crijeva u dobi od 21 do 39 godina. Prema rezultatima, više od polovice ispitanica (53,3 %) iz svoje prehrane isključuje određene namirnice, najviše iz skupine povrća, mlijeka i mliječnih proizvoda, mesa, te voća. Također, vidljivo je kako dijagnoza rezultira značajnijim prehrambenim promjenama kod većine ispitanica (60 %). Uočen je nedovoljan unos folne kiseline, kako kod žena koje planiraju trudnoću, tako i kod trudnica tijekom prvih 12 tjedana trudnoće. Ovakvi rezultati ukazuju da važnost pravilne prehrane i unos folne kiseline prije začeća i tijekom trudnoće u Republici Hrvatskoj još uvijek nisu dovoljno prepoznati.

Cases of the COVID-19 pandemic are gradually decreasing every day in Indonesia, but the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected various sectors, especially the economy and business. Sales transactions have not yet reached the company's target due to weak public purchasing power. The accuracy of customer segmentation analysis and attractive promo voucher offers are needed to increase the opportunity for people's purchasing power for a product. This study aimed to predict the level of customer purchasing power using the random forest and naïve Bayes methods in the case of multi-class data classification at PT. XYZ. The classification is carried out to determine the type of promo voucher suitable to be offered to customers according to the level of customer purchasing power. The data used is historical daily transaction data from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, which is the transition period for the COVID-19 pandemic. Evaluation using the random forest method produces an accuracy of 99.99%, while the naïve Bayes method produces an accuracy of 92.99%. The random forest and naïve Bayes methods can work very well on large data volumes. However, from the comparison results, it can be concluded that the performance of the random forest method is better than the naïve Bayes method in the multi-class classification case in predicting the level of customer purchasing power at PT. XYZ.

The Competency-Based National Examination (CBNE) was held in 2019. The quality of schools can be determined based on the results of it. The purpose of the study was to map high schools / MA in Surakarta City based on its scores in 2018/2019. The number of SMA/MA is 33, both public and private. Data analysis using multidimensional scaling based on the characteristics of CBNE scores in the Indonesian, English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology exam subjects. The results showed that there were four groups. They were mapped based on the level of similarity of CBNE scores with the characteristics in each exam. SMA/MA mapping is expected to help the community in choosing schools based on the competencies to be developed by students. School clustering means that there is educational inequality in the context of learning outcomes. This is influenced by a wide variety of factors. This research is expected to be the first step for further research in improving student learning outcomes.

Authors: Muntazhimah Muntazhimah
Published: December 2023

A growing body of literature has shown that mathematics learning is expected to facilitate students to develop creative thinking abilities. In reality, students' creative thinking abilities are not fully accommodated through mathematics learning. Therefore, this research aims to explore middle school students' mathematical creative thinking abilities based on learning experiences with Magic Forms. This qualitative research with an explorative approach focuses on the participation of three class VII students at a state junior high school in Jakarta (MA, LS, and YC). Data collection techniques used in this study were learning outcomes tests and interviews. Data analysis techniques in this study used data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Based on the results of the study, it was found that: MA meets the four indicators of mathematical creative thinking ability, MA felt helped by the experience of learning with Magic Forms and challenged by the experience of working on the ability to think creatively. LS met the four indicators of mathematical creative thinking ability, LS also felt helped by the experience of learning with Magic Forms and amazed by the experience of working on the ability to think creatively. YC met the four indicators of mathematical creative thinking ability, for the subject's authenticity indicator reached a percentage of 68.75% (higher indicator). Moreover, YC did not feel helped by the experience of learning with Magic Forms and was confused by the experience of working on the ability to think creatively.

Authors: Weinberg Marc S. , He Yingnan , Kivisäkk Pia , Arnold Steven E. , Das Sudeshna
Published: December 2023

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complicated condition involving multiple metabolic and immunologic pathophysiological processes that can occur with the hallmark pathologies of amyloid-β, tau, and neurodegeneration. Metformin, an anti-diabetes drug, targets several of these disease processes in in vitro and animal studies. However, the effects of metformin on human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma proteins as potential biomarkers of treatment remain unexplored. Objective: Using proteomics data from a metformin clinical trial, identify the impact of metformin on plasma and CSF proteins. Methods: We analyzed plasma and CSF proteomics data collected previously (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01965756, conducted between 2013 and 2015), and conduced bioinformatics analyses to compare the plasma and CSF protein levels after 8 weeks of metformin or placebo use to their baseline levels in 20 non-diabetic patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and positive AD biomarkers participants. Results: 50 proteins were significantly (unadjusted p < 0.05) altered in plasma and 26 in CSF after 8 weeks of metformin use, with 7 proteins in common (AZU1, CASP-3, CCL11, CCL20, IL32, PRTN3, and REG1A). The correlation between changes in plasma and CSF levels of these 7 proteins after metformin use relative to baseline levels was high (r = 0.98). The proteins also demonstrated temporal stability. Conclusions: Our pilot study is the first to investigate the effect of metformin on plasma and CSF proteins in non-diabetic patients with MCI and positive AD biomarkers and identifies several candidate plasma biomarkers for future clinical trials after confirmatory studies.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Improving neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) management is an important concern, and objective measures of its physiologic impact remain elusive. We sought to determine whether near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived tissue oxygenation (rSO2) and fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) demonstrated physiologically plausible changes correlating with standard NAS scoring. METHODS: Thirty subjects (mean 39 weeks’ GA and 3 127 g BW) underwent cerebral and peripheral muscle NIRS monitoring on Days of Life (DOL) Three, Five, and Seven. We examined correlations between NAS scores and FTOE and assessed the impact of non-pharmacologic swaddling and cuddling. RESULTS: No statistically significant correlations between NAS scores and FTOE were observed; however, plausible trends were demonstrated between NAS scores and cerebral measurements. Buprenorphine-exposed babies (57%) showed significantly lower FTOE when swaddled (DOL7). CONCLUSIONS: Tissue oxygenation monitoring demonstrates potential to provide objective, clinically relevant physiologic information on infants at risk for NAS. Further study is required to determine whether NIRS-derived measures could assist in individualizing NAS care.

Published: December 2023

PURPOSE: This study aimed to describe outcomes of motor function with a special focus on ambulation ability at 36 months among children with open prenatal repair of spina bifida aperta (SB). METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted including 87 patients with open prenatal repair of SB at the investigating center born between 2010 and 2018. Anatomic lesion level and motor function level in the neonatal period, as well as motor function level, ambulation status, and use of orthotics and assistive devices at 36 months were assessed. RESULTS: At 36 months, ambulation was assessed in 86 children; of those, 86% (n = 74) were ambulating. Independent of ambulation, orthotics were worn in 81.6% (71/87) and assistive devices in 47.1% (41/87). Children with a lower lumbar or sacral motor function level were the first to reach independent ambulation and were more likely to ambulate at 36 months than children with higher motor function levels (p = < .001). The anatomic lesion level determined on the neonatal MRI correlated with ambulation status at 36 months (p = < 0.001). CONCLUSION: At 36 months, most children with open prenatal repair for SB showed favourable ambulation status. However, most still used assistive devices or orthotics. Anatomic lesion level on neonatal MRI, motor function level during the neonatal period, and motor function level at 36 months were associated with ambulation status at 36 months.

Published: December 2023

PURPOSE: This pilot study aimed to determine the parent/caregiver’s role in nutrition/eating habits, physical activity behaviors, and food access among children diagnosed with spina bifida (SB). METHODS: Parents/caregivers of children with SB were asked to participate at a single, outpatient SB clinic. Demographic, biomedical data, parent/caregiver nutrition knowledge, family nutrition and physical activity (FNPA), and food security survey scores were compared. Descriptive, regression, and correlational statistics were conducted for analysis via SPSS 29. RESULTS: Of the 117 parents/caregivers surveyed, completed data suggested most were overweight/obese (average body mass index [BMI] of 30.63 kg/m2±8.40; n = 99) with an average nutrition knowledge score of 71% (17.83±3.33). As FNPA scores decreased, the patient/child’s maximum BMI z scores increased (β= –0.043; confidence interval –0.079, –0.007; p = 0.020), suggesting the less active and/or less healthy eating habits, the higher body mass was noted for the child. Forty four percent of children (n = 99) were in the overweight/obese weight range based on maximum BMI z score. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest there is a need for parental/caregiver nutrition education to assist children with SB with meal and activity planning to achieve optimal health.
Comparison of the bearing capacities of a small-diameter bored pile obtained from the results of field tests and numerical modeling
Authors: Soroka Pavlo
Published: December 2023

Abstract. The paper compares the results of modeling static soil tests with a small-diameter drill pile with the data obtained from field tests. The calculations were performed by numerical modeling using the PC software "Plaxis", which is based on the finite element method. This problem was solved in a flat (2D) formulation for an axisymmetric model, which makes it possible to analyze the stress-strain state (SSS) and the interaction of elements of the pile-soil environment system.

Separate computational models were created for two types of piles made using different technologies: a bored- CFA pile and a drilled pile with partial soil displacement. In order to take into account the preload history in order to maximize the models' approximation to real conditions, the calculations were performed in 4 stages in accordance with the construction sequence: Stage 1 - initial stage (determination of the initial stresses in the soil massif in the natural state), Stage 2 - excavation to the design mark of the pit bottom, Stage 3 - testing of the soils with a pile by static load. Stage 4 - pile unloading. Based on the results of the calculations, the SSS and the interaction of the elements of the "pile-soil environment" system have been analyzed and compared the settlement graphs obtained from the results of the calculations with the data of field tests.

It is shown that the use of a plane axisymmetric FEM is a sufficiently effective approach for assessing the stress-strain state and understanding the interaction of elements of the pile-soil system, as well as predicting the bearing capacity of piles for further design of the pile foundation before obtaining the results of field tests. In addition, the labor intensity and time consumption of this approach are relatively low compared to other alternative methods.

With appropriate experience in using this approach in different soil conditions with appropriate comparison with field test data, it can be applied in the feasibility study and final decisions on the choice of a particular type of foundation.

Re-Examination of Penrose’s Space-Time Singularity and the Origin of Protons in Astrophysical Jets
Authors: Šorli Amrit
Published: December 2023

Penrose’s singularity from 1965 predicted that in the center of the black hole space-time curvature is infinite and consequently gravity force there is infinite. In 2014 NASA measured universal space has Euclidean shape. This means that stellar objects cannot curve universal space and that the space-time singularity model has no physical existence. In the center of black holes energy density of superfluid space is so low that the electromagnetic properties of space are changed. This causes electromagnetic forces between the nucleus and orbiting electrons to become unstable. In the center of a black hole, atoms are falling apart into elementary particles. Black holes are rejuvenating systems of the universe, they transform old matter into fresh energy in the form of elementary particles. Astrophysical jets are the outcome of this process.
origem do projeto moderno nos ensaios de Michel de Montaigne
Authors: Azizi Diego dos Anjos
Published: December 2023

O que é moderno? O que modernidade? Onde quer que se fale em modernidade, seu conceito não parece ser muito claro. Na política, na filosofia, nas artes e nas ciências, o conceito parece ser reduzido a alguns autores, obras ou, até mesmo, fatos históricos, fazendo com que o sentido do termo seja arbitrário e circunscrito às disciplinas que dele se servem. Este trabalho pretende oferecer uma definição que possa ligar todas as aplicações do conceito, mesmo que por um fio frágil, mas que possa oferecer algum sentido geral. E falo “de” modernidade e não “da” modernidade, pois, como tentarei explicitar, não se trata de um período histórico definitivo, senão de uma experiência própria da temporalidade que se manifesta em diferentes épocas ao longo da história humana. Em seguida apresentarei brevemente alguns elementos que fazem dos Ensaios de Michel de Montaigne uma das expressões originárias da filosofia moderna e, também, do projeto moderno.
Essencialmente intraduzível

Embora Locke praticamente não seja um autor acessado dentro dos estudos da tradução, o estabelecimento de uma filosofia da linguagem dentro do seu Ensaio sobre o entendimento humano norteou – e ainda pode nortear – muitas discussões nessa disciplina, tanto no nível da prática tradutória, quanto no de uma teoria da tradução. Locke discorre discretamente sobre tradução no Livro III – das palavras; este artigo recorta, portanto, desse livro aquilo que interessa para uma reflexão dentro dos estudos da tradução, a saber, a crítica de Locke aos universais e o que entende por essências.
sentido de prudência em Espinosa e seu lema Cautè
Authors: De Lima Adriana Chimenez Aviles
Published: December 2023

Este artigo propõe-se a analisar a noção de prudência que o pensamento de Espinosa apresenta, a partir do seu lema Cautè, visto com mais ênfase em sua Correspondência trocada ao longo de seu percurso filosófico, mas também presente em outras obras como o Tratado teológico-político, e a Ética, nas quais a prudência se desenvolve e opera com suas bases firmadas no campo do conhecimento e da razão, assim como no campo dos afetos e das relações afetivas. Seguramente, desde suas correspondências, Espinosa, com o seu lema Cautè, pretende orientar o leitor a ter atenção suficiente àquilo que lê e a adquirir uma capacidade leitora que desperte a potência de seu pensamento, resultado de uma ação mais ativa destacada em seu percurso ético. Alguns dos conceitos apresentados na sua Ética, no que se refere à condução do homem a uma vida que pretenda ser tão potente quanto puder, contribuem para a compreensão da noção espinosana de prudência, p.ex.: conatus, cautela, simultaneidade, e a seu lema pessoa “Cautè”, o qual será mais analisado nesse presente trabalho.
Designing Dormitory Student with Modern Architecture Concept at Universitas Sumatera Utara Kwala Bekala
Authors: Saragih Sarah Nurdini , Amy Marisa
Published: December 2023

Universitas Sumatera Utara Kuwala Bekala does not have student dormitory facilities, which is the main reason for this project. The application of modern architecture in dormitory buildings is designed with a more minimalist impression and still has the aesthetics of the beauty of the modern building. Modern architecture uses the concept of "forms follow function" by eliminating elements of ornamentation in buildings. The application of modern architecture in buildings is an adequate and practical approach in the form of a dormitory building. The methodology is mix method, namely, primary data from observations in the field at the design site and secondary data derived from informational data (literature) obtained from internet data sources such as journals, articles, and data in book references. This student dormitory research is expected to provide data for designing a building that can meet the needs of students on campus activities and students' daily lives and give comfort to its users.

Published: December 2023

У сучасних умовах в результаті цифровізації соціально-економічних явищ все більше підприємств переводять свій бізнес до мережі Інтернет. Сучасні веб -технології дозволяють збирати великі масиви статистичних даних для аналізу ефективності економічної діяльності інтернет-ресурсів. Для прийняття більш правильних управлінських рішень поряд з класичними статистичними методами доцільно використовувати методи машинного навчання. У статті описані базові методи машинного навчання та різні приклади застосування їх для розв’язання задач у сфері аналітики веб ресурсів. Проаналізовано проблеми, по’вязані з недостатньою ефективністю класичних статистичних методів для прийняття оптимальних управлінських рішень. Досліджено різні напрями цифрової економіки, де можуть застосовуватись методи машинного навчання як альтернатива до класичних статистичних методів. Наведено приклади впровадження методів машинного навчання для підвищення ефективності реалізації різного роду задач у цифровому бізнес середовищі діяльності підприємств. У науковій статті описані такі види задач наукового навчання як: 1) застосування методів навчання з вчителем для прогнозування доходів у проектах електронної комерції; 2) використання методів навчання без вчителя для сегментації користувачів; 3) впровадження методів машинного навчання для розробки систем рекомендацій; 4) використання алгоритмів штучного інтелекту для прогнозування та виявлення аномалій; 5) інтеграція генетичних алгоритмів для оптимізації онлайн-рекламних кампаній; 6) застосування методу моделювання підвищення для оптимізації витрат на маркетингову комунікацію; 7) впровадження алгоритму багаторукого бандита для оптимізації A/B-тестування; 8) проектування чат-ботів за допомогою різних типів нейронних мереж для обробки природної мови, таких як багатошаровий персептрон, згорткова нейронна мережа, рекурсивна нейронна мережа, рекурентна нейронна мережа та короткострокова пам'ять. Доведено доцільність застосування методів штучного інтелекту для розв'язання широкого спектру задач з аналізу показників інтернет ресурсів.
АНАЛІЗ ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ ОПИТУВАЛЬНИКА ДИТЯЧОЇ ІНВАЛІДНОСТІ PEDI В ПРОЦЕСІ ФІЗИЧНОЇ ТЕРАПІЇ
Authors: Нагорна О. Б. , Григус І. М.
Published: December 2023

Мета дослідження – проаналізувати ефективність застосування опитувальника визначення дитячої інвалідності PEDI (Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory) під час реабілітаційного оцінювання педіатричних пацієнтів неонкологічної етіології. Методи дослідження: системний підхід, узагальнення, індукція, аналіз і синтез, вимірювання, математична лінійно-економетрична модель, множинна регресія. Оскільки діти, які потребують паліативної неонкологічної допомоги, мають багатогранну патологічну симптоматику, то PEDI може визначити проблеми, які обмежують повсякденну діяльність дитини – самообслуговування, мобільність, соціальне функціонування. У дослідженні брало участь 47 дітей, які потребують паліативної неонкологічної допомоги, яких було розділено на основну групу (24 дитини) та групу порівняння (23 дитини). Наприкінці курсу реабілітації проведене контрольне оцінювання за доменами PEDI засвідчило якісне покращення у дітей обох груп. У домені «Мобільність» показник вірогідності розбіжності р < 0,05 засвідчено в трьох категоріях у дітей основної групи, у дітей групи порівняння – у двох категоріях; у домені «Соціальне функціонування» показник вірогідності розбіжності р < 0,05 спостерігався в одинадцяти категорій в основній групі та у п’яти категорій в групі порівняння; у домені «Самообслуговування» показник вірогідності розбіжності р < 0,05 оцінено в чотирнадцяти категоріях, у групі порівняння – у семи категоріях. У ході дослідження за допомогою множинної регресії підтверджено кореляційний зв’язок між шкалами опитувальника PEDI (коефіцієнт кореляції 0,89614649). Використовуючи лінійно-економетричну модель, установлено кореляцію між шкалою PEDI «Соціальне функціонування», виражену в балах, і можливістю Спілкування (коефіцієнт кореляції 0,916596) та Участі у справі (коефіцієнт кореляції 0,802483), виражені за допомогою кваліфікатора МКФ (коефіцієнт кореляції 0,802483). Також виявлено кореляцію між шкалою «Самообслуговування» PEDI, рівнем розвитку руки MACS, Контролем довільних рухових функцій (коефіцієнт кореляції 0,850873). PEDI є об’єктивним засобом для оцінки поточного рівня функцій, розвитку особистості педіатричного пацієнта та перевірки функціональних результатів протягом певного періоду часу.
