A imunização tem demonstrado no Brasil, desde a década de 60, a sua eficácia no controle, erradicação e manutenção da erradicação de diversas doenças imunopreviníveis, como pode ser visto com a erradicação da varíola e da poliomielite em nosso país. Para a regulamentação das ações de vacinação assim como, a distribuição dos imunológicos e coordenação dos sistemas de dados acerca das vacinas foi criado o Plano Nacional de Imunizações (PNI). Atualmente, a adesão ao calendário vacinal tem diminuído por diversos motivos, um deles é a ocorrência dos efeitos adversos com a aplicação da vacina, divulgação de fake news e recentemente a pandemia da Covid. Na zona rural de Casa Nova- BA essa adesão baixa chamou a atenção da equipe de saúde da família. Foi aplicado questionário com pais e/ou responsáveis por crianças menores de 2 anos para a identificação de crianças em atraso vacinal e os principais motivos elencados para esse atraso. Após agrupamento dos dados, foi realizada a apresentação desses dados a população e, posteriormente, nova aplicação de questionário apenas com as crianças identificadas em atraso. Pouco menos da metade das crianças que participaram da pesquisa apresentavam atraso vacinal, principalmente da vacina BCG, administrada ainda na maternidade, influenza e covid. Os principais motivos listados para o atraso vacinal foram a falta da vacina no município e a dificuldade de locomoção para a UBS mais próxima. Faz-se necessário tornar a vacinação acessível a todos os indivíduos da população, tornando a cobertura vacinal homogênea em todas as Unidades Básicas de Saúde do município.

Published: May 2024

Dapagliflozin has shown promise in the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), but its effects in patients with and without diabetes remain unclear. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effects of dapagliflozin in HFrEF patients, both with and without diabetes. Methods: From January to July 2023, a six-month case-control study was conducted in the cardiology department of a Tertiary Care Hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan. All patients received an additional dose of dapagliflozin (10 mg) alongside their usual treatment plans. The primary outcome was a composite of heart failure exacerbation or cardiovascular death. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 22. Results: Patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) exhibited a higher rate of cardiovascular death (22%) and hospitalization for heart failure (14.4%) compared to those without diabetes. The hospitalisation rate for heart failure was also higher in the DMT2 group (12.21%) than in the non-diabetic group (8.6%). Over the trial period, cardiovascular death occurred in 12.44% of patients with DMT2 compared to 7.30% in those without DMT2. Patients with diabetes experienced a significantly higher number of first and recurrent hospitalizations for heart failure and cardiovascular death compared to those without diabetes (32.45% vs. 19.20%, p=0.021). Conclusion: Dapagliflozin therapy in HFrEF patients demonstrated varying effects between those with and without diabetes. The study underscores the importance of personalised management strategies considering comorbid medical conditions. Despite dapagliflozin treatment, patients with both heart failure and diabetes continued to experience cardiovascular complications, highlighting the need for individualised treatment plans that account for a patient's complete medical profile.
The Theoretical Issue of Social Security - International and European Perspectives
Authors: Jakab Nóra , Solymosi-Szekeres Bernadett
Published: May 2024

This chapter deals with the theoretical issue of social security. It has been presented by the main characteristics of social rights, the international social law and main features of the EU legislation in this regard. These provide a broad understanding of the issue at international and European level. It was highlighted that human rights are indivisible, interdependent and interrelated rights. The quality of human existence is determined by second generation rights. Social security is an integral part of a life worth living. There is a difference between the nature of each generation, one thing can be said with certainty: all human beings have an indivisible right to human rights, and the quality of human life is largely determined by the opportunities offered by these social rights, and the presence of the state is present in all generational rights, differing only in the extent and intensity of their presence.
Czech Republic: Social Law One Step Forward Two Steps Back
Authors: Štefko Martin
Published: May 2024

This article analyses Czech Social Security law from the perspective of sustainability. The first part describes what is it, its position in the Czech legal order, and the level of protection given to welfare rights in the formal constitution. A social security system that is overly costly is not sustainable in the long term (the principle of financial sustainability). There are no real welfare rights in the constitution; they are rather constitutional ideas for legislature that must consider the health of the Czech economy.
Decision Analysis of Cold Chain Supply Chain Based on a Stochastic Evolution Model
Authors: Lin Liting
Published: May 2024

Accelerating the development of cold chain logistics for agricultural products is not only an objective requirement for the development of agricultural product circulation but also a necessary demand to promote rural revitalization and upgrade agricultural consumption. Addressing the evolutionary problems of cold chain transportation in uncertain environments, this study considers the actual stochastic disturbances in the cold chain supply chain system, introducing Gaussian white noise to reflect the random perturbations experienced during the evolution of the cold chain. A three-party stochastic evolutionary game model is established involving farmers, logistics enterprises, and government regulatory authorities. Based on this model, numerical simulation analysis is conducted to explore the effects of different factors such as the intensity of random disturbances and the loss transfer coefficient on the fluctuation of strategic choices of the entities and the convergence speed to a stable state during evolution. Finally, combining the results of numerical simulation, relevant policies and recommendations are proposed to provide insights and guidance for the development of cold chain logistics in agricultural products.

Exploring the Formation Mechanism of Anti-Consumption Behavior of Youth Groups
Authors: Chen Jing
Published: May 2024

With consumerism sweeping the globe today, anti-consumption groups are also gradually rising, and young people, as the main force of consumption and an important participant in anti-consumption, have attracted much attention for their consumption behaviours and consumption psychology. Therefore, from the perspective of anti-consumption theory, this study will explore the behavioural characteristics of anti-consumption behaviours of Chinese youth groups, their motives and psychological motivations under anti-consumption behaviours. Through the combination of semi-structured interviews and participant observation, it can be found that the anti-consumption groups of Chinese youths emphasize on "rational consumption" in their anti-consumption behaviours, and have a strong personal and financial tendency. In terms of the reasons for their behaviours, the motivation is based on personal emotions and economic considerations, but the psychological motivation is for the purpose of enhancing consumer well-being. Therefore, the anti-consumption behaviour of the youth group is mainly formed under the combined effect of personal reality, spiritual needs and social environment, with the social environment being the precondition for anti-consumption behaviour, personal reality being the direct cause, and spiritual needs being the root cause, and anti-consumption behaviour will only arise if these three factors are present at the same time.

An Optimized Temperature Compensated Ring Oscillator with Low Power Consumption and Low Variation
Authors: Dastanian Rezvan , Ghorbani Saeed , Rayat Hosein
Published: May 2024

In this paper a low power ring oscillator with three differential delay stages and one output buffer stage is designed for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications. The proposed oscillator is designed with neural network model and its parameters are optimized with Teaching–Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm. The central frequency of the oscillator becomes independent of the temperature with the help of two temperature compensation techniques. In the first technique, the PMOS load transistor of each stage is connected to the NMOS diode connected - in series - transistor. Since these two transistors work in complement of each other, the temperature variation of each stage’s output voltage is decreased. In the second technique, the current variation of oscillator stages versus temperature is reduced since the diode connected transistor is employed in the current source structure. The simulation is done in 0.18 µm Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology with the help of Cadence software and the chip area of the layout designed with this software is 19×25 µm2. The designed oscillator exhibits the following parameters: a central frequency of 7.5 MHz, the power dissipation is 238 nW and the frequency deviation is 210 ppm/̊C in the temperature range of 0 to 120ºC, the noise phase and the period jitter are -87.05 dBc/Hz and 0.578 ns (rms), respectively, at 100 KHz offset frequency and 10000 clock cycle.

Published: May 2024

Aim: This research sought to experiment on a cheaper alternative to snake antivenom production using hyperimmunized chicken eggs.
Methods: Twenty-two Swiss albino mice were used to determine the median lethal dose (LD50) and lethality neutralization assay. Twenty-layer chickens, aged 17-weeks-old were divided into two groups of 10 chickens each. Based on body weight, group A were hyperimmunized with 1/5th LD50 of crude Bitis arietans venom in adjuvant (Montanide™ ISA 201) at two-weeks interval over eight-weeks period; while group B were administered normal saline. Using polyethylene glycol 6000, immunoglobulin Y was extracted from 15 pooled egg yolks. Twelve Wistar rats were used for the haemorrhagic and anti-haemorrhagic assays. The haemolytic activity of the venom and anti-haemolytic effect of the candidate antivenom was determined in vitro using caprine erythrocytes.
Results: The LD50 of the pooled Bitis arietans venom was 0.9 mg/kg. Agar gel immunodiffusion test confirmed the presence of precipitin antibodies in the candidate antivenom. EchiTab plus-ICP® neutralized lethal effect of all dilutions and the stock (10 mg/ml) venom of Bitis arietans while the candidate antivenom was limited to 3log2 dilution of the stock venom (1.25 mg/ml). In the haemorrhagic assay the venom exhibited haemorrhagic activity at 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/ml and the highest anti-haemorrhagic activity of the candidate antivenom at 10mg/ml. The candidate antivenom exhibited significantly higher (p < 0.05) anti-haemolytic activity against the venom of Bitis arietans at 10 mg/ml.
Conclusion: The antibodies have inhibitory properties against the lethal, haemorrhagic and haemolytic properties of Bitis arietans venom.

Authors: Kolawole Oluwaseyi , Amuda Akeem , Dayyabu Abubakar , Mambo Abdulhameed
Published: May 2024

Black cotton soil (BCS) is known to be expansive and very challenging when encountered during the construction of roads. Conventional stabilizing materials such as cement and lime are expensive. On the other hand, industrial and agricultural waste with pozzolanic properties is littered in factories and difficult to discard. This paper examined the microstructure of BCS soil stabilized with marble dust, MD, and Rice husk ash, RHA. About seven different mix ratios for MD and RHA are considered for 10% replacement in BCS. Pure BCS was also analyzed as a control. Atterberg limits were investigated for all the mix to understand the change in index properties. The SEM micrographs for the control samples show a loose pack of natural BCS with a sponge-like and hollow look. Generally, the SEM results for all the other samples show that the hollow perforated structure of the black cotton soil was reduced. The EDX shows the element present in each mix ratio with a mix ratio of 90:10 and 100:0 for MD: RHA as the appropriate mix.
Mind-Brain Identity Theory: A critical examination with reference to the
psychotic and introspective states.
Authors: MUME C
Published: May 2024

Scientific advances have made great contributions into the understanding of biological basis of psychopathology. Materialism has become a very popular concept. In this thesis, I shall argue that both the mind and the brain exist though as separate entities, but that their functions are related. I shall rely as much as possible on what happen in psychotic states as well as in states of introspection.
Thus by way of objectives, this paper sets out to show that there is no identity between the mind and the brain though both are related
functionally. The nature of this relationship is such that all actions including the reflexes are under the direction of the mind but are carried out by the brain and other parts of the nervous system.
I maintain that the view that there is no immaterial component in Man cannot be sustained. Rather than proclaim identity between mind and
brain, we should endeavour to Interpret the relationship between them.
Adverse Childhood Experiences, Arousal Predisposition and Sleep Disorders in Patients with Substance Use Disorder
Authors: MUME C
Published: May 2024

Background: Different studies have documented positive associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and psychoactive substance use disorder; arousability and sleep disorders; as well as positive associations between ACE and sleep disorders. There isa need to explore possible associations among ACE, arousability, and sleep disorders specifically in patients with substance use disorder in our local environment, hence this study. The objectives of the study were to determine the associations between ACE (on the one hand); arousability, and sleep disorders (on the other hand) in patients with substance use disorder. The other objective was to explore possible associations between arousability and sleep disorders in the same group of patients. The sleep disorders of interest in this study are insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), and poor sleep quality.
Methods: Eighty-four (84) subjects who met the ICD-10 criteria for the diagnosis of psychoactive substance dependence from the Department of Mental Health, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, were consecutively recruited into the study. They were required to complete: Proforma on sociodemographic characteristics and drug use information; Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE-Q); Arousal Predisposition Scale (APS); Insomnia Severity Index (ISI); Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS); and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The data were analyzed using SPSS, version 23, and P˂ 0.01 was considered significant.
Results: Eighty-two (82) of the subjects, representing 97.6 % of the total number, provided complete data for analyses. The age range of the 82 participants was from 19- 44 years, with a mean of 28.5 years (SD=7.3, SEM =0.8). There were 77 males (93.9 %) and five females (6.1 %).
A total of 15 out of the 82 subjects (18.3 %) recorded ≥4 in ACE- Q. Twenty-one (25.6 %) met the requirement for arousability using the APS, 17 (20.7 %) had clinical insomnia, 22 (26.8 %) had EDS, while another 22 (26.8 %) had poor sleep quality. The common drugs of dependence used by the subjects were alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamine, nicotine, opioids, and sedatives/hypnotics; either alone or in
combination. The results showed that ACE was positively and significantly associated with arousability (χ 2 = 13.713, df =1, P = 0.000), insomnia severity (χ 2 = 20.274, df =1, P = 0.000), EDS (χ 2 = 12.461, df =1, P = 0.000), and poor sleep quality (χ 2 = 12.461, df =1, P = 0.000). There was a positive association between arousability and insomnia severity, a positive association between arousability and EDS, and a positive association between arousability and poor sleep quality.
Conclusion: The findings showed that ACE and arousability may be significant factors contributing to sleep disorders among subjects with substance use disorders. The study therefore concludes that prevention of adverse experiences in childhood and adolescence is pivotal to the prevention of subsets of sleep disorders, in adult life.

The study is to endeavor to design proposals that will enrich the visiting experience of the architectural sites built by Sinan in line with the desires, needs, and expectations of modern-day visitors, assuming that Architect Sinan lived in today's digital age. Based on the steps of multimedia development method, technology-based recommendations have been developed for three architectural sites: the Süleymaniye Mosque, its cemetery area, and the tomb, all of which were constructed by Sinan. The on-site observation method and observation forms were utilized. Additionally, written sources (such as autobiographies, books, articles, inventories, etc.) and visual sources (documentaries) were consulted to explore Sinan's exceptional personality and construction techniques. Based on the findings from on-site observations, the following stages, enriched with visuals, are proposed as recommendations: designing a large-sized digital book, measuring 1.5x1 meters, where visitors can turn the pages by moving their hands in the air inside the mosque. Developing a matrix barcode system within the cemetery area, containing information about the individuals buried there, including important details about their lives. Creating a virtual reality application and simulation that starts with an audio narration of Sinan's own life story and then guides visitors to his tomb by describing its location.

Published: May 2024

In this work coal from Lakhra (coal mine in Pakistan) was subjected to a physical technique for mineral matter and sulfur reduction by using diester table. Effect of particle size and coal-to-water ratio of slurry were studied. A reduction of 85% in sulfur content and 88% in ash content for 500 µm coal sample was observed. While at 300 µm size sulfur and ash content were reduced about 77% and 80% respectively. At 150 µm size, the reduction in sulfur and ash was observed to be lesser (54% and 55% respectively) due to the decrease in specific gravity difference of coaland impurity (i.e. sulfur and ash). GCV increased from 17.2 MJ/kg of the raw coal to 23.3 MJ/kg of cleaner fraction obtained at 500 µm. Based on the results of this study, diester table can be proposed to be a simpler however an effective physical coal cleaning method to reduce sulfur and ash content. Besides other parameters, particle size is a crucial parameter to impact the cleaning efficiency and because of the greater difference in specific gravity of coal and impurity, higher particles size used in this study resulted in the cleanest product.

This research is focused on evaluation of kaolin (Calcined Aluminum Silicate) micro-based pigment or filler that can substitute titanium dioxide in waterborne paints. Calcined aluminum silicate has shown ability for partial replacement of titanium dioxide by fractionally and runnability. Titanium dioxide is very essential white pigment that has highest hiding power in waterborne coatings. But titanium dioxide is most expensive pigment. Our purpose was to find inexpensive pigment for replacement of titanium dioxide that does not affect properties of waterborne coatings but reduce cost of titanium dioxide in paint formulation. Fillers or calcined aluminum silicate has effect on properties of coatings like gloss, textures, viscosity, emulsion and tinting or coloring strength of paint. Our research main focus was that these properties of paint will not be affected by replacement of TiO2. To evaluate new pigment five samples are prepared in laboratory using high speed disperser. These samples were prepared at room temperature with same period of time in mixer. One sample is prepared as standard with no replacement of TiO2, other four sample were prepared with TiO2 replacement about 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% in coatings. Additives, binder and fillers were added according to paint basic formulation. Tests includes gloss, appearance, opacity, density, viscosity, smoothness, scrub resistance and whiteness or brightness. Results of these samples show that calcined aluminum silicate has potential to replace titanium dioxide in paint. The rheological, optical, mechanical and weathering properties were studied. Other properties like gloss, opacity, density, viscosity, brightness, scrub resistance, brushability, light fastness and reflectivity values were in range. In our study it is shown that titanium dioxide can be replaced from 5% to 20% in waterborne coatings without any effect on properties of paint. Replacement of titanium dioxide give better quality and economically favorable.
Investigation of environmental and economic effects of utilizing used transformer oil as an alternative fuel in cement kiln
Authors: Sarwar Hina , Syed Dr. Naveed ul Hasan , Khan Dr. Naseer Ahmed
Published: May 2024

Cement industry is an energy and emission intensive process. The demand of cement usage is rising year by year, leading to increased fuel requirements and environmental concerns. Increasing fuel requirements becomes alarming due to increase in fuel prices at international level. The primary goal of this research endeavor is to burn used transformer oil as a substitute fuel source in kiln operations and assess its impact on both fuel expenses and environmental emissions. The improper disposal of used transformer oil poses environmental hazards due to the presence of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs). Prolonged exposure to PCBs can result in adverse health effects in humans, including nervous system disorders, weakened immune function, and the development of cancers in the digestive tract, liver, and skin. Consequently, utilizing used transformer oil as an alternative kiln fuel in the cement industry would serve the dual purpose of reducing fuel costs and mitigating the release of PCBs into the environment. The study found that burning 20% used transformer oil in cement kilns reduced particulate matter and carbon monoxide by 42% and 26%, respectively, compared to imported coal. Fuel cost also reduced by 947 PKR/ton of clinker. The research highlights that using the used transformer oil as an alternative fuel could be economically viable and cleaner solution.

Published: May 2024

A percepção das pacientes acerca da Violência Obstétrica (VO) é um tema pouco explorado e há necessidade de aprofundamento dos estudos sobre a VO no Brasil para que se norteie a saúde pública. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi de analisar a percepção das pacientes que pariram acerca da violência obstétrica. Para tanto, o projeto foi inicialmente aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa. Então, foram entrevistadas mulheres que pariram em maternidades do estado de Sergipe. Para análise, as participantes que relataram algum procedimento proscrito ou desnecessário, negligência ou mau trato durante a internação foram atribuídas ao grupo ‘sofreram VO’. Paralelamente uma outra distribuição foi feita em relação à percepção da VO, sendo as participantes atribuídas ao grupo ‘perceberam VO’ em caso de terem afirmado sofrer VO durante o parto. A partir desses dados, a análise foi feita através do teste do Qui-Quadrado (p<0,05). Foram coletados 337 questionários válidos. No grupo de parturientes que sofreram VO há 287 participantes (85,16 %), dentre elas 174 (60,63%) relataram não terem percebido VO durante o parto. De modo que a maioria das pacientes teve uma percepção incorreta (176 participantes; 52,22%) da VO durante o próprio parto. Se associam com a percepção incorreta da VO (p<0,05) morar no interior, menor grau de escolaridade, baixa renda familiar, parto em instituição pública, não realização do plano de parto e desconhecimento acerca da VO.

Để đạt được mục tiêu trên, trước tiên, đánh giá hiện trạng và tiềm năng tài nguyên nước mặt từ các hồ chứa nhỏ khu vực nghiên cứu theo các kịch bản biến đổi khí hậu (BĐKH) giai đoạn 2030s và 2050s; tính toán nhu cầu nước của các ngành dùng nước; từ đó đánh giá khả năng cung cấp nước từ hồ chứa và đề xuất các phương án sử dụng nước. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy, tổng trữ lượng nước hồ chứa hiện tại là 2,61×106m3, và theo quy hoạch là 6,36 ×106m3. Nhu cầu nước tính toán cho sinh hoạt và nông nghiệp (trồng trọt - một vụ lúa và một vụ màu, và chăn nuôi) là rất lớn và tổng trữ lượng nước hồ chứa hiện nay chỉ đáp ứng được 3,28% nhu cầu dùng nước cho sáu tháng mùa khô. Nhu cầu dùng nước của các kịch bản BĐKH (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, và RCP8.5) giai đoạn 2030s và 2050s của phương án 1 (PA1) (trồng 01 vụ lúa và 01 vụ màu) lần lượt là 151,96×106m3 đến 158,19×106m3; PA2 (cây ăn quả lâu năm) là 150,33×106m3 đến 150,40×106m3 và PA3 (cây ăn quả lâu năm - ứng dụng công nghệ tưới tiết kiệm) là 56,61×106m3 đến 61,43×106m3. Tổng trữ lượng nước hiện tại có khả năng cấp nước theo PA1 là từ 7,53% đến 7,77%, PA2 đạt từ 6,22% đến 6,58% và PA3 đạt từ 14,81% đến 16,27%. Do đó, cần thiết phải có kế hoạch chuyển đổi cơ cấu cây trồng, vật nuôi phù hợp. Đồng thời để có những giải pháp trữ nước hợp lý, cần chú trọng đầu từ các mô hình trữ nước dạng hồ chứa vừa và nhỏ và phân tán phục vụ sản xuất nông nghiệp.

Background and Objectives: Previously published epidemiologic data from Trinidad and Tobago suggested that left-sided colorectal cancer (CRC) was more common, but accepted, standardized definitions for CRC laterality were not used. This study aims to collect data from patients with CRC in Trinidad & Tobago in order to determine anatomic site using standardized definitions. Methods: A retrospective audit of hospital records was carried out for all patients with CRC over a 10-year period from January 1, 2011 to January 30, 2021. Standardized definitions were used to classify CRC laterality: Right-sided CRC was defined as those that arose in the cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure and/or transverse colon. Left-sided primaries were defined as those that originated from the splenic flexure, descending colon and/or sigmoid colon. The following data were extracted: laterality, gender, age and ethnicity. Descriptive statistical analyses were generated with SPSS version 21. Results: The records of 326 patients with CRC were examined in this study. There was a predominance of right-sided (43%) over left sided primaries. There was a statistically significant relationship between right sided CRC and female (58.2% vs. 41.8%; P = 0.00168), black ethnicity (60.2% vs. 38.6%; P = 0.0076) and younger age (60.9 vs. 65.9 years; P = 0.00028). Conclusion: There is a predominance of right-sided CRC in this eastern Caribbean nation, significantly associated with younger, female and black population.

Актуальність даного дослідження полягає у тому, що наразі використовуються нові підходи до управління: заміна усталених способів управління, які основувалися на використанні владних повноважень і визначених бюрократичних механізмів, на такі, які спрямовані на надання якісних публічних послуг, першочергова мета публічного управління – з найменшими витратами ресурсів, часу та зусиль досягнути якнайкращої результативності, ефективності та дієвості. Загальноприйнято, що сформувати ефективну модель сучасних управлінських процесів не можна, не застосувавши цифрові технології. Метою дослідження є розкриття сутності цифрової трансформації публічного управління. В процесі написання даної статті були використані такі методи: аналізу та синтезу, метод узагальнення, комплексний та системний підхід та абстрактно-логічний метод. Відтак, це дало можливість дійти висновку, що цифрова трансформація державного управління як комплексний підхід, заснований на нових інформаційних технологіях, створить нові можливості підвищення ефективності державного управління. Наведено головні чинники, які мають вплив на процедуру цифровізації публічного управління, в тому числі динамічне введення нових знань і глобальних інформаційних технологій в усі галузі життя суспільства; зростання громадянського суспільства й соціального партнерства у цифровому середовищі; характер сформованої в державі моделі ринкової економіки; рівень децентралізації влади й результативність реалізації структурної й регіональної політики; рівень зростання економіки держави; впровадження соціально важливих проектів, які допомагають додержанню принципів соціальної рівності й справедливості у цифровій економіці. Встановлено напрями подальшого розвитку цифровізації публічного управління, завдяки яким вдасться усунути технологічні, кадрові, організаційні та правові обмеження цифровізації взаємодії влади із бізнесом, а також органам публічного управління перейти на роботу, орієнтуючись на результат. Визначено, що комплексне введення цифрових технологій забезпечує нові змоги у керуванні регіоном і містом, повинне здійснити оптимізацію роботи виконавчих органів, допомогти розвитку безпечного простору, гарантувати значно результативнішу роботу комунальних підприємств і закладів, збільшити участь громадян.
