Authors: Shinkaruk Andrey , Kulikov Mikhail , Baryshnikov Aleksandr
Published: December 2024

Improvement of maintenance and repair of passenger rolling stock, taking into account the introduction of its new types and models, is always relevant. Ensuring the effective use of complex engineering structures, which include the passenger car, is most appropriately carried out by monitoring its actual technical condition and changing the operation of the element base, which is achieved by using remote diagnostic equipment, which functionality includes transmitting information from the corresponding node to the microprocessor control unit, transforming the received digital codes in indicative information messages, displaying possible technical malfunctions on the panel.
It is necessary to state the fact that passenger cars manufactured at the end of the 20th, beginning of the 21st century were not equipped with technical diagnostic systems and, given their short remaining service life, it is currently economically inexpedient to equip them with these systems, which leads to the need to find other solutions for monitoring and analyzing the operability of their systems.
The study objective is to develop a technique for the rapid transmission of data on technical malfunctions of passenger car elements occurring along the route, taking measures to eliminate them, as well as systematization of the statistical data obtained on failures of service equipment, its analysis and subsequent development of solutions to improve quality and maintain a high level of comfort when traveling on passenger trains.

Derivation of the Structure of Early Genetic Code and Prediction of Its Identifying Features
Authors: Mohanty Bijan Bihari
Published: December 2024

In an earlier article [1], The Author had arrived at the numerical equality between 32 codons representing 10 canonical polar(P) amino acids (AA) & 32 codons representing 10 canonical nonpolar (NP) AA in terms of specific binary representation of their bases. This equality was further extended to amino acyl tRNA synthetase-I (aaRS-I) vs amino acyl tRNA synthetase-II (aaRS-II) linked AA and their corresponding codons/anticodons[2] leading to unexpected consequences. In the present article, the search has been extended to unravel the numerical equality (if the same exists at all ?) between 2 fold degenerate 12 canonical AA mapped to 32 codons vs 4 fold degenerate 8 canonical AA mapped to the other 32 codons under the same binary representation of bases and ramification thereof if any equality is observed at all.Coincidentally, numerical equality could be established by a specific tweaking which was the only theoretical possibility that conformed to the same binary representation of bases as in the case of Polar & Non polar AA and also the aaRS-I and aaRS-II linked AA. But the analogy ended there. Unlike the P, NP and the aaRS-I, aaRS-II cases where the numerical equality was uniquely confined to the case of genetic code binary representation (in config. 23, Annexure-1), the 2-fold and 4-fold numerical equality after tweaking encompassed all the 24 configurations. This accidentally led to the existence of hitherto unknown early genetic code structure through its bilateral numerical equality and also revealed the identifying features of the so called early genetic code.
Addressing Altered Anticipation as a Transdiagnostic Target through Computational Psychiatry
Authors: Sepulveda Pradyumna , Aitsahalia Ines , Kumar Krishan , Atkin Tobias , Iigaya Kiyohito
Published: December 2024

Anticipation of future experiences is a crucial cognitive function that is impacted in various psychiatric conditions. Despite significant research advancements, the mechanisms underlying altered anticipation remain poorly understood and effective targeted treatments are largely lacking. This review proposes an integrated computational psychiatry approach to address these challenges. We begin by outlining how altered anticipation presents across different psychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, and eating disorders, and summarizing the insights gained from extensive research using self-report scales and task-based neuroimaging, despite notable limitations. We then explore how emerging computational modeling approaches, such as reinforcement learning and anticipatory utility theory, could overcome these limitations and offer deeper insights into underlying mechanisms and individual variations. We propose that integrating these interdisciplinary methodologies can offer comprehensive transdiagnostic insights, aiding in the discovery of new therapeutic targets and advancing precision psychiatry.

Authors: Schaefer Bruno Marques , Feres Joao , Santos Fabiano Guilherme Mendes , Manes Matteo de Barros
Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste boletim é analisar, de maneira histórica e comparada, dados da administração pública nos municípios do estado do Acre. Coletamos informações sobre orçamento, peso da administração pública e composição de recursos humanos. Apesar de consideráveis percalços, o federalismo brasileiro teve relativo sucesso na redução de desigualdades territoriais. Isso se deu através de regras que vinculam as receitas dos governos subnacionais ao gasto em políticas específicas, como saúde e educação. Mesmo assim, ainda há grandes diferenças entre os municípios quando consideradas suas características socioeconômicas, capacidade de arrecadação tributária própria (via ISS, IPTU e ITBI), formação de recursos humanos, e resultados na provisão de bens públicos. Exploramos esses dados a partir de comparação no tempo (intervalo temporal de 2011 até 2021) e no espaço (o Acre, demais estados da Amazônia e o restante do Brasil).
The ESG information chain
Authors: Dimmelmeier Andreas , Kremers Ruben , Sommer Felicitas
Published: December 2024

ESG information has assumed a central role in contemporary efforts to push the world economy on a sustainable path. This article develops the notion of the ESG information chain in order to analyse how ESG information flows from companies to investors via a series of interlinking information products provided by commercial information intermediaries. It argues that the ESG information chain provides a fruitful conceptual framework to ‘follow’ the contingent processes that allow ESG information to flow and a useful heuristic to think about complementarities between different strands of literature that have analysed – and often challenged – these processes from multiple perspectives. In doing so, it seeks to contribute to the growing literature at the intersection of financial geography and related research traditions, which has begun to shed light on various selected aspects of the ESG information market.
Moderating Kiswahili Content on Social Media
Authors: Elswah Mona
Published: December 2024

Africa, a continent with over 2,000 languages and home to more than one-third of the world’s linguistic diversity, has many languages that remain beyond the reach of both automated and human content moderation. Social media platforms have a limited physical presence in Africa, operating only a few offices and employing minimal staff. Despite this, these companies have heavily invested in outsourcing content moderation labor to the continent, hiring vendors to recruit moderators to review content from both Africa and beyond. One of the few African languages benefiting from human moderation is Kiswahili, a language that is spoken by over 100 million people in East and some parts of Central Africa. In this report, we investigate how the content moderation systems of select online platforms deal with user-generated content in Kiswahili. This report is part of a series that examines content moderation within low-resource and indigenous languages in the Global South.
A Unified Theory of Emergent Spacetime, Holography, Black Hole Entropy, Complexity, and Informational Structures
Authors: Jariwala Zauh
Published: December 2024

We propose a discrete, informational substrate as a foundational layer from whichthe structures of spacetime, the Standard Model gauge symmetries, black hole entropy,holographic dualities, and integrated complexity measures emerge. We construct thesubstrate as a four-dimensional lattice system endowed with well-defined local updaterules. By analyzing the system using the renormalization group (RG), we demonstratethat Lorentz invariance can emerge at low energies. By representing the ground state asa tensor network, we connect the emergent large-scale geometry to a holographic dualthat reproduces the Ryu–Takayanagi formula for entanglement entropy. Combinatorialmicrostate counting on discrete horizons yields the Bekenstein–Hawking black holeentropy law. Moreover, we define a measure of integrated complexity that aligns withIntegrated Information Theory’s Φ, framing complexity as an emergent property ofthe underlying causal structure. Special limits reproduce known theories such as LoopQuantum Gravity (LQG) and causal set theory, highlighting that these frameworks areemergent phenomena of a more fundamental substrate. Finally, we discuss G¨odelianundecidability and epistemic limits as natural consequences of the intricate emergentbehavior. This work positions emergence as the unifying concept that weaves togethermultiple facets of fundamental physics.

Published: December 2024

For many researchers it may not be affordable to produce data that is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). We propose a workflow to create a data index that will help data stewards and researchers curating the necessary metadata and documentation to facilitate finding and sharing their research data; making them effectively FAIRer. The AFFORD workflow utilizes generalist open-source tools broadly used for scientific research. It is intended to be maintainable by data stewards or researchers with an interest in data management, without creating new dependencies or requiring advanced programmingskills. For this, we provide a demo website and a skeleton repository with the necessary materials ready for reuse. Our goal isto help researchers produce FAIRer data and, as a bonus, to help them adopt a set of tools that are important for scientificreproducibility in general.
Testing the robustness of accurate intuitive abilities and assessment of reproducibility with a group of potentially talented individuals
Authors: Delorme Arnaud , Wahbeh Helané , Radin Dean
Published: December 2024

In this study, we tested whether it was possible to use an online psi task to identify psi-talented individuals who could produce reliably significant results in repeated tests. The study aimed to develop psi tasks on an online platform, analyze data to identify talented individuals among a large sample (n=1014); 3) select the top 50 performing individuals (talents), assess their consistent performance, and evaluate potential personality predictors. We found that retest performance on two tasks was above chance expectations, but this finding did not hold up after correcting for multiple comparisons. In selected analyses, we also found that conscientiousness had a negative correlation with higher performance, while agreeableness had a positive correlation. We suggest that increasing the number of participants could yield more robust results.
Aggression - The Dark Side of Social Comparison
Authors: Buechner Vanessa , Maier Markus
Published: December 2024

Social comparison manifests in multiple situations, including academic and interpersonal contexts,and certainly has its advantages. However, it must be acknowledged that social comparison is to some extent associated with rivalry and aggression. Some aggression theories suggest that it is not the outcome of social comparison (e.g., disadvantage) but rather the sole fact of social comparisonthat is the driving force of aggression. Since empirical evidence for the proposed impact of outcome-independent social comparison itself on aggression is still missing, a first experimental test of this hypothesis was provided here. Study 1 (N=1619; 854 males, 52.7%; 765 females, 47.3%; mean age = 50.34 years, SDage = 13.22; German sample) confirmed that social comparison alone led to aggression even in the absence of an outcome. Study 2 (N=1030; 560 males, 54.4%; 470 females, 45.6%; mean age = 56.87 years, SDage = 14.38; German sample), a preregistered direct replication of Study 1, supported this hypothesis. To our knowledge, these results are the first demonstrating that social comparison itself can be the origin of aggression independent of an outcome. This is relevant to social science, organizational psychology, pedagogy, and everyday experiences.

Published: December 2024

Background:

Prostate cancer carries a significantly higher burden among Black versus White men in the United States. In Suffolk County, NY, prostate cancer incidence rates are 75% higher among Black individuals with twice the mortality rate.

Methods:

To address this disparity, a community-based project was implemented. The project used focus groups to assess knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and health care-seeking practices of Black men. Recruitment was difficult, community members were resistant to participate. Trusted community leaders proved to be the most successful asset for recruitment.

Results:

In total, three focus groups were held, with a total of 18 participants. Most participants were referred by their school district, pastor, or a community-based organization.

Conclusion:

A significant lesson learned was the importance of establishing trust, as research done without establishing meaningful connections leads to more mistrust. The downstream effects from the team's initial outreach demonstrate how rich and robust interconnecting relationships may develop within the community.
Conceptual aspects of the formation and management of rural agglomerations in Russia
Authors:   Federal Scientific Center for Agrarian Economics and Social Development of Rural Areas– VNIIESH, Moscow, Russia, Zhukov Nikolai I.
Published: December 2024

The article considers the main provisions of the concept of formation and management of rural agglomerations as a product of spatial economy and vertical integration, which occupy a leading place in regional theory in the interpretation of dynamic agro-industrial processes. The emergence of agglomerations is a consequence of the progressive development of scientific and technological progress, when industry becomes cramped within large urban areas and it first spreads to the immediate surroundings, and then to rural areas. Thus, a complete agglomeration system of industrial and agricultural interaction is gradually being formed, focused on a multi-subject management line: «core and periphery», in which the productive forces of cities act as the leading link (core), which determine the development of the surrounding areas – peripheries, rural territories, their industrial and social facilities. The formation of agglomeration structures in rural areas of the country has become urgently needed – as a key link that can reduce the migration of the rural population, which contains the irreplaceable living productive force of agricultural production.

Development of the fat and oil industry based on the creation of a specialized export-oriented cluster in the agro-industrial complex of Siberia
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Agrarian University, Novosibirsk, Russia, Shelkovnikov Sergey A. , Chepeleva Kristina V. ,   Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University, Krasnoyarsk, Russia
Published: December 2024

The realization of the export potential of the agro-industrial complex of Russia, in particular, the regions of Siberia, requires the organization of mutually beneficial cooperation with foreign partners based on a balance of interests and mutual benefit. The article presents the results of a study on the export of fat and oil products from the regions of Siberia to China. The features and risks of working with exported agricultural products in commodity markets are considered, the specifics of the distribution of Russian vegetable oils to the Chinese market are determined, as well as factors constraining the achievement of high operational performance by exporters and other participants in the supply chain. The necessity of further implementation of cluster policy in Russia and the organization of cluster structures in the agro-industrial complex as centers of investment and innovation in the country is substantiated. It is proposed to create an export-oriented cluster of an oil and fat subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex in Siberia with a core in the form of joint Russian-Chinese enterprises in the territories of the two states. Localization of production at joint Russian-Chinese enterprises will increase the profits of exporters in Russia, including in the regions of Siberia. The latter statement will be made possible by reducing costs as a result of the formation of a value chain, the organization of its own distribution, and effective inventory management. The creation of a common brand and the organization of joint R&D within the framework of an export-oriented cluster will expand the range of products and ensure access to markets for products of deep processing of oilseeds in demand on world food markets.
Panoramas by Andrii Levytskyi
Authors: Lamonova Oksana
Published: December 2024

Andrii Levytskyi is a prominent contemporary Ukrainian graphic artist, well known both in Ukraine and abroad, winner of several prestigious international awards for the best works in the field of graphic art. In the early 2000s, the artist actively turned to an unexpected format, creating intaglios elongated horizontally or vertically. These works became some of the most expressive ones in the artist’s work. Five horizontal panoramas (Road to Town, Love Comes in the Town (both 2002), Talking to Myself (2004), Pine Spirit, Dreamscape (both 2005) comprise a kind of mega-series, complete in its mood and design. These are imaginary landscapes in which fantasy architecture is harmoniously combined with beautiful natural motifs, a special place among which belongs to the graphic artist’s favorite trees. They contain numerous musical associations, allusions to personal memories and impressions of the author, which gives them a special sincerity and intimacy. Another horizontal panorama, Railroad (2009), turns out to be closer to the technical works of the artist, marked by the influence of the steampunk style (AVIA, Comets, Flights (all three from 2009), Aerostation (2013), Sailboats-2 series (Bicycle, Scooter, Skates, Fair Wind, Iceboating, all from 2018). However, the technique in the graphics of Levytskyi is never in conflict with nature, does not try to conquer it, let alone pollute or destroy it. Trains, planes and ships of the artist are only an opportunity for a far and exciting journey through various elements — land, air, water, and Sailboats-2 — the author’s artistic projects of vehicles (bicycle, scooter, skates, car, “ice boat”), which move with the help of sails. The vertical scroll Geografica Nova (2007) is full of the romance of sea voyages. The closest to it are the intaglio My Island (2010–2011) and the Sailboats series (Marlin, Sextant, Gull-sea, all from 2017). But in all the panoramas one can undoubtedly pinpoint an original representation of environmental problems, the careful attention to which is felt in all graphic works by Andrii Levytskyi.

Authors: Zinenko Tetiana , Boroday Ruslana
Published: December 2024

The article examines the exhibitions of the famous American artist Max Vityk during the Russo-Ukrainian War, in particular those held in 2023 at universities (Poltava Polytechnic, Ivan Franko National University of Lviv) and art museums.
The study focuses on the exhibitions “History of Planet Earth,” “The Warriors of Light,” “Realities and Dreams.” It highlights such aspects as the use of modern historical events, the experience of geological knowledge and the author’s work, creative explorations and experiments as factors that make the artist’s work unique. The article analyzes the significance of the distinctive features of the author’s geological experience and communication with prominent figures of contemporary American and Ukrainian art in the country for the establishment of the visual style and structure of Max Vityk’s work. The study describes techniques used by the author to create his works and gives examples of the impact of the artist’s creativity on the development of a new generation of artists who are receiving education in modern Ukrainian universities, the development of abstract expressionism as a form of contemporary art, which requires further research in this area.
The article develops the understanding of the nature of Max Vityk’s work, defining it as a cultural synthesis that combines centuries-old tradition and modern creativity, expanding the possibilities of contemporary art.

Published: December 2024

The study examines the work of the classic of world literature J. R. R. Tolkien and the influence of his ideas and images on visual arts. The English writer created his own universe, filled with fantastic creatures, places and unique stories, which defined new directions in the work of artists of the 20th and early 21st centuries. The article highlights the influence of national epic poems of medieval Europe on the development of the worldview of the writer. The authors emphasize the role of J. Tolkien in the establishment of the genre of epic fantasy and its influence on culture. The article analyzes how the works by Tolkien became not only a literary phenomenon, but also a source of inexhaustible inspiration for artists of various types of modern art, in particular, illustrators, directors and designers.
Mirror Interiors of Georgia: The Case of The Tarkhan-Mouravi Manor of the Early and Middle 19th Century
Authors: Shkolna Olga
Published: December 2024

The article is dedicated to the palace of Marshal TarkhanMouravi or “Marshliant Sasahle” in the village of Garikula, which belonged to the direct descendants of the last Georgian kings Heraclius II and George XII. The building was erected in the late 18th — early 19th centuries and was decorated with mirrored mihrabs, muqarnas and mosaics, as well as oriental paintings that were created by Persian artists in Persian and Chinese traditions. The decoration of this building was completed around the 1830–1840s. History has not preserved the names of the artists since, in the Soviet times, one of the members of the Tarkhan-Mouravi family Catherine had to burn the entire family archive to protect the life of her descendants. She also applied to rector of Apollon Kutateladze Tbilisi State Academy of Arts with a request to obtain the right to manage the nationalized estate, which was mercilessly damaged during the Soviet regime, and even the mirror decoration was cut with axes.
Additions to the Dictionary Terminology of Contemporary Art: 106 New Terms
Authors: Sydor Oleg
Published: December 2024

This study is a natural continuation of the dictionary Terminology of Contemporary Art (Kyiv, 2010, authors: Glib Vysheslavsky and Oleg Sydor), as well as several similar “additions” published in the collections of articles by the Modern Art Research Institute. Now the author focuses on new terms that entered the artistic circulation during the Russo-Ukrainian War and were also encountered in the late Soviet period, mainly coming from the West. Particular attention is paid to the so-called “terms of negation,” which aim to outline the difficult situation of the Ukrainian underground of the 1960s–1980s; sometimes it is difficult to call them terms, they are rather characteristic witticisms, “catchphrases,” situational statements that can only claim to be terms. The author is forced to refer to some Russian-language sources, which is an objective reflection of the Ukrainian art history situation of the 1990s and early 2000s, when Russian language (which was not necessarily a sign of Russian-centrism!) dominated the territory of Ukraine, in particular, in the scholarly and media spheres. Some of them (as well as Soviet sources) the author uses only for the sake of simple informational value, sometimes for the sake of necessary polemics with opponents. But usually it is dictated by an elementary desire to “fix a (terminological) fact” that may not be covered anywhere else.
SYSTEM OF IMPERATIVES FOR INCREASING COMMUNITY COHESION AND SOCIETY OF UKRAINE
Authors: GORYACHUK V.F. , MURZANOVSKIY G.M. , LEVIT V.S. , KOVALEVSKA O.S. , CHEHOVICH Z.V.
Published: December 2024

Topicality.Modern society is very dynamic, rapid scientific and technological progress is taking place, the possibilities of mankind are increasing, and at the same time there is an increase in uncertainty, instability, inequality and social exclusion. A necessary condition for solving these problems is the growth of social cohesion, which is an imperative for the development of society.
Aim and tasks. To carry out an analysis of the essence of the concept of "cohesion", to propose a system of imperatives for increasing the cohesion of Ukrainian society, to determine the imperatives for increasing cohesion in the sphere of public administration and economy, in the social and cultural spheres. Materials and Methods. The work uses general scientific and special research methods: analysis, comparison, generalization and synthesis, system analysis, comparative analysis. The information base of the research is monographs, special literature, informational and analytical bulletins, periodical scientific domestic and foreign publications, legislative and regulatory acts, data of the State Committee of Statistics of Ukraine and Internet resources. Research results. The essence of the concept of "cohesion" is considered in the context of the system paradigm "thing-property-relation", namely as a property of a group of subjects, as relations between subjects of the group and as relations with external subjects, attitude to the external environment. An idea has been formed about the system of imperatives to increase cohesion in the spheres of public administration, economy and culture, and the social sphere. Specific imperatives for increasing cohesion in these areas have been identified. Conclusion. The unsatisfactory state of cohesion in Ukraine throughout the entire period of independence looks paradoxical against the background of Ukraine's inherited significant potential (labor, scientific, cultural, natural resources), which could have been realized in another, adequate institutional model of society. A system of imperatives for increasing the cohesion of Ukrainian society is proposed, in particular in the sphere of public administration, economy, social and cultural spheres. This provides the basis for the development of programs, mechanisms and tools for improving the cohesion of communities and society in Ukraine.

The materials are presented by the results of previous studies, official statistical data and monitoring data obtained from territorial communities in the field of community assistance of the development of economic activity, stimulating of economic cooperation and rationalization of forms and methods of cooperation of business entities on the basis of balancing of the economic interests of community members. The methods of system analysis, modeling methods and determination of patterns of formation and development of economic systems in regions and communities are used. Research results. The possibility of optimizing value creation chains in conditions of cooperation (economic cohesion) in RES is shown. Examples of such optimization using the methods of operations research and simulation modeling are given. An analogy between management in corporations and in economically cohesive regional systems is presented. The difference between management methods in corporations and economic systems based on cooperation is taken into account. These differences are primarily due to different management structures. Proposed solutions to ensure the optimization of value chains for regional economic systems in which there is no clear hierarchy, the management system is decentralized and decisions are usually made collegially. Conclusion. Cooperation relations in RES can be considered as a basis for managing economic processes with the aim of maximizing the common good, therefore, in economically cohesive RES, the task of optimizing value chains becomes relevant. Operations research and simulation modeling methods can be used to solve value chain optimization problems.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of the realistic mathematics education (RME) approach to overcome mathematics learning difficulties in grade IV students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. Learning difficulties experienced by students of madrasah ibtidaiyah age on average are difficulties in understanding concepts, low arithmetic operation skills, and a lack of mathematical problem-solving skills in high grades. So teachers need to create contextual, relevant, and interesting learning through the RME approach. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with a case study type. The informants in this study consisted of 7 informants, namely the principal, class teacher, and 5 students. Data collection techniques include observation of the real situation in the field, interviews by asking 25–38 questions of informants, and supporting documentation. Data analysis techniques in this study are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The data validity technique uses source triangulation. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the realistic mathematics education (RME) approach has gone well by utilizing objects in the students' daily environment, namely donuts, pebbles, pencils, and money. This has a positive impact on overcoming students' learning difficulties, as evidenced by the increase in students' daily test scores on number and measurement material from the class average of 72.85 to 80 and 81.90. Thus, it can be implied that the importance of teachers having the right approach and model in learning, especially using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach, lies in overcoming students' mathematics learning difficulties so that learning outcomes can be maximally realized. This approach is suitable for MI-aged children because, at the age of 7–11 years, students are not yet able to understand concrete material, so they need learning media or are associated with everyday life as an implementation of the RME approach.
