Assessing the reliability of an online measure of the temporal binding window of audiovisual integration
Authors: Flanagan Leon , Zumbrunn Nina Meret , Hirst Rebecca , McGovern David
Published: October 2023

There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that imprecise multisensory temporal processing is associated with a range of adverse clinical outcomes. Specifically, this research has shown that the temporal binding window of audiovisual integration widens with advancing age, while individuals with various neurodevelopmental disorders exhibit distinctive profiles of multisensory processing when compared to their neurotypical counterparts. While this line of research has made significant inroads in emphasising the importance of multisensory processing in both typical and atypical cognition, the field would greatly benefit from the validation of web-based tools for assessing multisensory temporal processing, enabling larger sample sizes and the recruitment of typically hard-to-reach populations. In this study, we assessed the reliability of a web-based version of the sound-induced flash illusion (SIFI) and examined the level of agreement between the measurements of the temporal binding window that it produces relative to those derived from the SIFI task performed under standard laboratory conditions. Our results demonstrate that both versions of the task elicit a robust SIFI effect, and show a similar dependency on the stimulus onset asynchronies between the audiovisual stimuli. Furthermore, our analysis revealed strong correlations between the estimated measurements of both the width and peak amplitude of the temporal binding window derived from the online and lab-based task versions, affirming the suitability of the web-based task for assessing multisensory function. Future studies should extend the evaluation of this online implementation of the SIFI to clinical populations to further evaluate its potential for adoption in clinical settings.

Published: October 2023

Sexuality education (SE) can be acquired through different sources. In a cross-sectional online study with Spanish and Portuguese participants (N = 595), we examined differences between formal traditional sources (i.e., mandatory SE received in schools), formal modern sources (e.g., SE received in courses), informal traditional sources (e.g., talks with friends and family), and informal modern sources (e.g., pornography and online content) and their contribution to sexual health and well-being outcomes. Results showed that sexual and reproductive health were among the most addressed topics across all sources. Nearly all participants received SE from informal sources, whereas more than two-thirds received SE from formal traditional sources. Results of a linear regression model showed that participants who perceived more influence from formal traditional sources reported using condoms more often, were more focused on disease prevention, and enacted more sexual health communication, but were also less sex-positive. Participants who perceived more influence from both types of informal sources attributed more importance to SE topics but reported having condomless sex more frequently and were more focused on pleasure promotion. Still, participants who perceived more influence from informal traditional sources also endorsed more internal/external consent, were more sexually satisfied, were more sex-positive, and enacted more sexual health practices. Lastly, participants who perceived more influence from informal modern sources were also more likely to have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection. Only a small proportion of participants received SE from formal modern sources and had to be excluded from this analysis. Some differences between Spain and Portugal are discussed. Taken together, our findings highlight the need to consider different sources for a more comprehensive and inclusive SE, in articulation with sociocultural and political contexts.

Published: October 2023

1.Human landscapes are increasingly diverse, and natural and urban features can coexist in one setting. Though the positive effects of nature exposure on human wellbeing indices are well known, we understand less about how mixed environments, with their associated multisensory dimensions, influence wellbeing. To explore this gap, we investigated the effects of visual and auditory nature exposure, and their interaction, on positive and negative affect. 2.After completing measures of psychological anxiety, and connection to nature, participants (N = 294 university students) were presented with 15 audiovisual recordings varying in the proportion of natural vs. urban visual scenes and soundscapes. Recordings were taken from sites around their university campus. Participants indicated their positive and negative affect whilst viewing each audiovisual clip for a duration of 60 seconds. 3.The interaction between visual and auditory modalities significantly predicted positive and negative affect. Areas of high visual nature and low anthropogenic noise were associated with higher positive affect, and lower negative affect. In contrast, participants had higher negative affect in areas with high visual nature, paired with high anthropogenic noise. 4.Furthermore, there were individual participant differences, such that the higher an individual’s connection to nature, the greater the effect of visual nature, and anthropogenic noise, on both positive and negative affect. Finally, individuals high in state anxiety showed the greatest increase in negative affect with reducing visual nature. 5.Synthesis and applications: Our data suggests that anthropogenic noise is detrimental to restorative effects of visual nature exposure, even (and especially) when visual nature is highest, highlighting the importance of multi-sensory interactions on mood. Furthermore, the emotional effects of exposure to nature are exaggerated for individuals with high biophilic identity, and (to an extent) for those experiencing high anxiety, highlighting the importance of considering multi-sensory nature experience when designing ‘wellbeing-in-nature’ interventions for these groups.

Published: October 2023

Impairment in interference control and inhibitory control is common among people with internet addiction disorders (IAD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between interference control and event-related spectral perturbations (ERSPs) as well as to examine conflict monitoring indices in IADs.Methods: Participants were recruited from the IAD (n = 21) and healthy control (HC) (n = 20) and administered both the Stroop and a modified version of the Stroop tasks while electroencephalography was recorded. A comparison of the pre-onset baseline with the grand averaged ERP activity was made to determine the distribution of early MFN, late MFN, and SP components. To measure the difference in power between two groups at each time frequency point, event-related spectral perturbations (ERSP) were extracted from the EEG. Furthermore, a cluster-based random permutation test was used.Results: In comparison to the HC group, the IAD group would display decreased ERP activity in early and late MFN due to diminished ability to detect stimulus and response conflicts. Moreover, IAD participants showed reduced activity in conflict SP as a result of defective neuronal reflections of compensatory cognitive control and adjustment processes. On the basis of ERSP of the EEG, it was concluded that low-frequency (theta) and high-frequency (beta2 and gamma) bands are significantly involved in interference control. In contrast to what was observed in the HC group, the ERSP Stroop effect in theta was significantly reduced for the IAD group in an earlier time window. This study indicates that individuals with IADs have impaired executive function, which means that they are unable to prevent their brains from activating in response to conflicting stimuli. Furthermore, ERSP Stroop effects were significantly higher for IAD participants over the scalp at beta2 and gamma frequencies - with a major contribution coming from bilateral dorsal frontal and parietal cortexConclusions: According to the results, participants with IAD exhibited diminished conflict detection and response selection compared to HCs, as well as diminished conflict resolution, as revealed by damage interaction dynamics in the beta2 and gamma bands. Furthermore, our results indicate that participants with IAD would display a diminished conflict monitoring effect against HCs as indicated by the early and late MFN indices. The current study also revealed that IAD participants exhibited attenuated conflict adaptation compared with HC participants as evidenced by identical conflict SP amplitudes between the two groups.

Authors: Landesvatter Camille , Behnert Jan , Bauer Paul C.
Published: October 2023

With the increasing frequency of surveys being conducted via smartphones and tablets, the option of audio responses for providing open-ended responses has become more popular in research. This approach aims to improve the user experience of respondents and the quality of their answers. To circumvent the tedious task of transcribing each audio recording for analysis, many previous studies have used the Google Cloud Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) service to convert audio data to text. Extending previous research, we benchmark the Google Cloud ASR service with state-of-the-art ASR systems from Meta (wav2vec 2.0), Nvidia (NeMo), and OpenAI (Whisper). To do so, we use 100 randomly selected and recorded open-ended responses to popular social science survey questions. Additionally, we provide a basic, easy-to-understand introduction on how the Whisper ASR system works as well as code for implementation. By comparing Word Error Rates, we show that for our data the Google Cloud ASR service is outperformed by almost all ASR systems, highlighting the need to also consider other ASR systems.

Problems of AES encryption without hardware acceleration on BROADCOM BCM2711chips
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Barannik O. I.
Published: October 2023

In today’s world, information security plays a critical role in various aspects of our lives. Over the past decade, data encryption has become the primary means of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Using modern encryption algorithms, we can protect our data from unauthorized access and malicious use. With the development of technology, single-board computers are becoming more popular and functional. The use of single-board computers can significantly increase the functionality of UAVs. For example, using a single-board computer with real-time video processing capabilities can enable UAVs to perform tasks such as monitoring territories, tracking objects, or even performing search and rescue operations. However, devices such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which require high data processing speeds and low energy consumption, are often limited by the lack of hardware acceleration for encryption algorithms such as AES [1]. This leads to a sharp decrease in encryption and decryption speeds. Such a limitation requires us to search for effective alternatives to the AES algorithm for such devices. Considering these limitations and the need for alternatives, the purpose of this article is to compare the performance of different encryption algorithms on the Broadcom BCM2711, Quad core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC [2]. We analyze the encryption and decryption speeds for AES-256, AES-512, ChaCha12, and ChaCha20 algorithms. This will allow us to understand which algorithm is most effective for use in UAV control systems and other devices built on Bcm2711 that do not have AES hardware acceleration. I hope that this analysis will help developers and engineers choose the optimal encryption algorithm for their systems, considering factors such as speed, security, and hardware limitations.

Authors: Sotnik A. Ya.
Published: October 2023

This study presents the research results on the interrelationship between biological oat yield and its components in the Priobskaya Forest-Steppe zone of the Novosibirsk region. The experiments were conducted at the Siberian Research Institute of Plant Cultivation and Breeding - a Federal Research Center Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS branch from 2012 to 2021. The material for the study consisted of 37 oat varieties included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements. It is approved for use in the West Siberian and East Siberian regions of the Russian Federation. The study aims to determine the priority elements of oat yield structure by ripening groups and varieties in contrasting meteorological conditions. Of the 37 types, three are early, 14 are mid-early, 19 are mid-season, and one is mid-late. All years of the study are divided into two categories based on the average yield over ten years, with favourable and unfavourable conditions for yield formation. It has been established that the density of productive stems remaining at harvest is the main element in oat yield formation for mid-early and mid-season varieties in the Priobskaya Forest-Steppe zone under suitable conditions. Under unfavourable conditions, the productivity of the ear is crucial. The study demonstrates the correlation between structural elements and the biological yield of varieties in contrasting conditions. The influence of stem density on yield in unfavourable conditions was observed in Tubinskiy, Phobos, Tayezhnik, Uran, Anchar, Mustang, and Barguzin. In contrast, it was evident in favourable conditions in varieties like Anchar, Otrada, Korifey, Togurchanin, Krupnozerny, and Kemerovskiy 90. A strong correlation between increased grain weight from the ear and higher yields was found in unfavourable conditions for varieties like Tarskiy 2, Tubinskiy, Otrada, Talisman, Orion, Phobos, Barguzin, Irtish 22, Uran, Pamyati Bogachkova, Altayskiy Krupnozerny, Narymskiy 943, Pegas, and in favourable conditions for varieties like Rovyesnik, Belozerny, Anchar. In both sets of states, a strong correlation was observed in types like Tayezhnik, Novosibirskiy 88, Tulunskiy 19, Irtish 21, Kemerovskiy 90, Korifey, Togurchanin, Sig, Tayezhnik, Krasnoobskiy, Sibiryak, Baykal, Novosibirskiy 5, Mustang, Irtish 13, Togurchanin, Krupnozerny, Sig. The impact of 1000-grain weight on yield was noted in unfavorable conditions for varieties like Krasnoobskiy, Sibiryak, Baykal, Anchar, Oven, Tubinskiy, Sig, Orion, Korifey, Uran, Novosibirskiy 88, Mustang, Togurchanin, Otrada, Altayskiy Krupnozerny, Irtish 21, Egorich, Narymskiy 943, and in favorable conditions for varieties like Novosibirskiy 88, Creol, Irtish 21, Belozerny, Metis, Irtish 13.

Published: October 2023

This article studies narrow-leafed lupine (Lupinus angustifolius L.) varieties in the Kirov region forage purposes. The research aims to evaluate the productivity of green mass and the quality of lupine harvest. The material for the study included narrow-leafed lupine varieties for forage purposes: Siderat 46, Akkord, Fedorovskiy, and Metsenat. The research was conducted at the Agrotechnopark of the Vyatka State Agrotechnological University in 2021-2022. The site soils are medium loamy sod-podzolic soils with weak acidity, moderately supplied with mobile phosphorus and exchangeable potassium. As a control, pea crops of the Ukat and Ryabchik varieties were used. The research years varied in terms of meteorological conditions. A significant increase in yield was observed for all studied narrow-leafed lupine types, ranging from 47%.The Akkord variety showed the highest gain of green mass (810.5 c/ha). The lowest yield was obtained for the Siderat 46 variety (623.5 c/ha), but even this value exceeded the indicators of the Ukat variety by 47% and the Ryabchik variety by 55.8%. In samples at natural moisture content, all presented narrow-leafed lupine types contained more nitrogen in the green mass than field pea and vetch. The maximum nitrogen content was observed in the Metsenat (2.63%) and Fedorovskiy (2.60%) varieties. The high nitrogen content indicates the lupine's ability to fix nitrogen efficiently in the conditions of the Kirov region. All studied narrow-leafed lupine varieties exhibited an increased content of alkaloids in the green mass, ranging from 0.358 to 0.482%. This indicates their sufficient resistance to adverse conditions, diseases, and pests. The studied narrow-leafed lupine varieties meet the requirements for forage crops and can produce a high yield of green mass with adequate nitrogen content in the Kirov region.

This study is aimed to identify and analyze Balinese diglossia from the perspective of linguistic landscape. Several public signs in Bali use Balinese language. The Balinese language used is varied. There are signs that use Balinese alus variation, while others use Balinese andap. The use of the two variations resembles the culture of Balinese people. Therefore, this study is also intended to provide a new way to view Balinese culture from seeing the Balinese language through non-interactive public signs because there are patterns on each variation used. Furthermore, the use of Balinese variations on signs can be a measurement to acknowledge its vitality; thus, this study is also aimed to measure Balinese language vitality in general and the vitality of its variations. The data of this study were 12 signs collected from banners, billboards, and information signs found in Bali through observation and documentation method. The data were analyzed by using referential identity method with a descriptive-qualitative approach. This study combined the theories of diglossia, context of situation, function of linguistic landscape, Balinese speech levels, and UNESCO vitality level. The result shows that Balinese language signs in public space are able to characterize the diglossia situation of the Balinese people by indicating four features, namely sign makers, participants receiving messages, caste and social status, and domains. The diglossic situation of the Balinese language is indicated by the variation of the Balinese alus, which is the high variety, and the Balinese andap, which is the low variety. The level of language vitality of Balinese high and low is 4, whereas in general is 5.

Mastering two languages is now commonplace in a multilingual society. As a result of this, mixing more than two languages in written and spoken speech is inevitable. But in addition to having knowledge of more than one language by one individual, there are other functions behind the occurrence of the code mix. This study sought to analyze the reasons behind the use of coded interference in the comments of Balinese-speaking social media users. This research method is qualitative. Data was collected by observing Balinese comments on Facebook and Instagram accounts that uploaded posts about social phenomena in society. Content analysis techniques are used to analyze the data obtained. The theory used is the theory of reason using a mixture of codes from Hoffman (1991) and the Context of Situation from Halliday and Hasan (189). The result found is that social media users mix codes because they want to confirm something according to their beliefs. Expressions of certain groups are rarely found because these social media users do not always show one particular group. In addition, other reasons found in this code mix are a form of humor as well as politeness in giving comments, especially when referring to one individual.

Authors: Grotegut Lea , Klingsieck Katrin B.
Published: October 2023

Die Förderung diagnostischer Kompetenz in der Lehrer*innenbildung birgt zwei Herausforderungen: Erstens bleibt in großen Lehrveranstaltungen wenig Raum für die notwendige Anwendung theoretischen Wissens, zweitens können Fehlentscheidungen in realen diagnostischen Situationen gravierende negative Folgen für Schüler*innen haben. Eine digitale Simulation kann beiden Herausforderungen begegnen. In diesem Beitrag wurde eine digitale, problemorientierte Simulation zur Förderung diagnostischer Kompetenz von Lehramtsstudierenden evaluiert und mit einer textbasierten, problemorientierten und einer lehrendenzentrierten Kontrollgruppe verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen positive Effekte für die digitale Simulation hinsichtlich der selbstbestimmten Motivation, aber einen geringeren Wissenszuwachs im Vergleich zum lehrendenzentrierten Setting. Die Selbstwirksamkeit nahm in allen drei Gruppen zu. Eine digitale Simulation bietet in der untersuchten Form somit einen, wenn auch geringen, Mehrwert für die Lehrkräftebildung im Bereich der Kompetenzentwicklung.

Published: October 2023

Aktuelle Überlegungen zur Gestaltung effektiver Hochschulehre drehen sich vermehrt auch um die Wahl eines geeigneten Lehrformats, d.h. wie und in welchem Ausmaß soll Lehre (weiterhin auch) im Digitalen stattfinden. Der vorliegende Beitrag basiert auf einem systematischen Literaturreview von N = 44 Metaanalysen (Publikationszeitraum 2011–2022) zur lernbezogenen Effektivität der Lehrformate Onlinelehre und Blended Learning (inklusive Flipped Classroom) im Vergleich mit traditioneller Präsenzlehre. Die Ergebnisse liefern eine evidenzbasierte Grundlage für Empfehlungen zum Einsatz der Formate in der Hochschullehre. Es zeigen sich überwiegend kleine positive Effekte der Lehrformate auf kognitive Lernergebnisse, praktische Fertigkeiten und Studierendeneinschätzungen. Seltener werden mittlere Effekte berichtet, wobei sich Blended-Learning-Formate gegenüber reinen Online- und Präsenzformaten leicht im Vorteil zeigen. Die Höhe der Effektstärken ist zudem von den Einschlusskriterien der Metaanalysen abhängig. Moderatorenanalysen zeigen an, dass insbesondere über durch Lehrende veränderbare Gestaltungsmerkmale zusätzliche Varianz aufgeklärt wird.
Autism and ADHD in old age
Authors: Kyriazis Marios , Wells Lydia , Mikellides Georgios
Published: October 2023

The impact of neurodiversity conditions such as ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) upon the older individual is considerable but not well studied. Chronic degenerative conditions which affect the brain, such as dementia, may share several symptoms with autism and ADHD, including behavioural, social and genetic elements. Both autism and ADHD are portrayed in the medical literature as adverse conditions, as disorders which need medical treatment, and this is a valid consideration to a large extent. However, both have positive aspects which need to be encouraged in older people so that they can reach their full potential, and ensuring that a correct diagnosis is made. In this review, we explore the links between these neurodiverse and neurodegenerative conditions, providing insights which may be useful in a clinical setting. While the available research is still not sufficient, it is nevertheless important to be aware of how one condition affects the other, and what are the similarities and differences which can confuse the clinician who may provide the wrong diagnosis and treatment approach.
Probability spaces identifying ordinal and cardinal utilities in problems of an economic nature: new issues and perspectives
Authors: Angelini Pierpaolo
Published: October 2023

Prevision bundles identifying expected returns on risky assets are studied. A probability space associated with risky assets is defined. In this research work, the optimization principle is based on the notion of distance. This is because problems of an economic nature are not handled in an axiomatic or intrinsic way, but they are investigated with regard to a given coordinate system. The latter is shown to be invariant. The notion of mathematical expectation applied to summarizing both monetary values and utilities is treated. Such a notion is extended to study portfolios of financial assets. Objective conditions of coherence connected with the notion of mathematical expectation are extended. Rational behaviors towards risk are based on them. A model representing diagrams considered inside the same coordinate system is shown. Such a model identifies as many optimal choices as pair comparisons it is possible to take into account in order to obtain a multilinear measure. The latter is the expected return on a specific portfolio of financial assets.

Published: October 2023

Research involving humans as the object has to follow ethics protocol. This protocol has to be reviewed by the research ethics committee before the research can be conducted. Though the mechanism for determining the protocol reviewer is simple, there are several obstacles, including the unbalanced workload of each reviewer, the empty schedule because the reviewer is busy or has other tasks, and the length of time it takes to determine the schedule manually. There needs to be a system that can see various obstacles and challenges in scheduling protocol reviewers and resolve them automatically. This paper proposes an automatic scheduling mechanism with a Heuristic Forward Chaining approach that can adjust the rules for determining reviewers from real experts and avoid the constraints that exist in the manual scheduling system. The proposed method is made in the form of a web application and can practically generate accurate schedules automatically.

Published: October 2023

The N+2 Fashion store is engaged in selling trend shoes which is located in Air Batu City. Activities in the N+2 Fashion Store include ordering and selling trending shoes. Checking the supply of trending shoes is done by checking them one by one, of course this will make it very difficult for employees to estimate the number of trend shoes they want to order from each trending type of shoe. The large number of trend shoe brands is an obstacle in carrying out business processes which results in wrong prices for these trend shoes. In predicting trend shoes must ensure the sales process, minimize costs and time required. The problem faced by the N+2 Fashion Store is the difficulty in predicting the number of items that must be available for the next period in order to meet customer needs and not cause a buildup of goods in the long term. To overcome this problem, predictions are made using the trend moment method which is a forecasting method used to see trends (data that have increased) based on historical data from one variable using time series data. The results of the research obtained a prediction that in September 2022 there would be 9 pcs of Adidas shoes sold with a MAPE error rate of 16.33%.

The study utilizes the Internet of Things concept, where sensors are integrated into the machine to enable data exchange and communication through networks. The MQTT protocol is chosen due to its lightweight nature, making it suitable for resource-constrained devices and efficient in IoT applications. The research involves using ESP32 as the microcontroller and various sensors, such as ZMPT101b, ACS712, Tachometer, and HC-SR04. The data collected from the sensors is transmitted to a Thingspeak channel via MQTT, allowing real-time monitoring and control of the machine. The results show that the MQTT protocol effectively facilitates communication of the tortilla chip cutting machine, with satisfactory delay and data integrity. The tortilla chip cutting test was successful, producing triangular-shaped chips. Overall, the research concludes that the implementation of the MQTT protocol in the IoT-based tortilla chip-making machine is effective and reliable. The results of this study indicate that the average delay in data communication is 2.8 seconds, and the integrity testing revealed a 3% error in the accuracy of the sensor data.

The article considers approaches to the content of the concept of infrastructure development in rural areas. The definition of the concepts of "infrastructure", "development", and "rural area" is presented. It is found out that the concept of infrastructure is based on such characteristics as a set of elements that create conditions for the effective functioning of business entities; a set of economic activities in a certain territory; a set of industries, sub-sectors and institutions that create favourable conditions for the social and economic development of the territory. The concept of development is the process of accumulation of qualitative and quantitative changes in a certain territory and the dynamism of such changes. Rural territory as an economic category is a spatial land integrity with appropriate resource provision; a spatial formation consisting of settlements, complexes, infrastructure, land, etc. that perform a number of functions and are located outside the city; a balanced system that contains a set of elements, subsystems that interact with each other. The article presents the author's vision of the definition of infrastructure development of rural areas as a set of infrastructure institutions, the functioning of which allows ensuring qualitative and quantitative changes in economic phenomena and processes in the spatial social and economic system, which is formed on the territory outside the city. Features of infrastructure support for rural areas are given.
РОЗВИТОК СОЦІАЛЬНОЇ ЗГУРТОВАНОСТІ ТЕРИТОРІАЛЬНОЇ ГРОМАДИ

Published: October 2023

Створюючи можливості для становлення й розвитку територіальної громади, виникає питання щодо соціальної згуртованості, адаптивності, гнучкості та стійкості її мешканців, формування середовища толерантності та прийняття різноманітності, а надто, у громадах, які приймають внутрішньо переміщених осіб після 24 лютого 2022 року, вироблення ідеологічних, політичних, етичних, морально-ціннісних орієнтирів задля мобілізації зусиль членів громади. У методичному посібнику з розробки індикаторів соціальної згуртованості, Рада Європи визначає її як спроможність соціального середовища забезпечити можливості для всебічного розвитку, задоволення власних потреб, справедливий доступ до наявних ресурсів, матеріальну забезпеченість, повагу до людської гідності та прийняття різноманітності, особисту та колективну відповідальність. Основні теорії сучасної соціальної роботи ґрунтуються на покращенні якості життя кожного члена територіальної громади. І, саме, соціальна інклюзія та поступове збільшення участі мешканців територіальної громади у прийнятті відповідальних рішень може забезпечити подолання соціальної несправедливості, виключення людини з певної системи соціальних відносин, упереджень, дискримінації та подальша активна адаптація й позитивна соціалізація, формування резилієнсу, тобто здатності отямитися після життєвих негараздів, нещасних випадків травм. Повномасштабне вторгнення росії на територію України, окупація, важка соціальна, політична, економічна ситуація в країні призводить до зниження рівня життя членів територіальної громади та соціального благополуччя сімей з дітьми, які потребують негайної допомоги. У статті автори наголошують, що саме соціальні працівники мають мотивувати, надихати членів територіальної громади до самостійного прийняття ефективних та виважених рішень та, найважливіше, усвідомлювати відповідальність за результати й наслідки таких дій. Важливо наголосити, що соціальні працівники не мають жодних переваг та привілеїв, а здійснюють свою діяльність на засадах рівності й партнерства. Важливо наголосити, що для сучасної соціальної роботи важливим є наснаження, що сприяє соціальній згуртованості територіальної громади та активізації її мешканців задля участі в прийнятті важливих та ефективних рішень.

Published: October 2023

The book display has a significant impact on visitor experience and the efficiency of finding reading materials in the library. In this context, optimizing effective and systematic decisions becomes crucial. This research employs the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) and WASPAS (Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment) approaches in selecting the optimal book display for donations. The SMART method assists in formulating specific criteria and indicators to measure effectiveness, while the WASPAS method utilizes assessment principles based on priority with weighted criteria to consider diverse aspects. The required data for this study includes information about criteria and weighting of the book display. This data will be comprehensively analyzed using both of these approach methods. The accuracy level testing resulted in a value of 99.9917% for the SMART method, which is slightly better than WASPAS with a value of 99.9916%. Based on the above suitability level calculation, the SMART approach is more relevant in this situation to address the issue of recommending donation book displays in the library with the goal of minimizing space and improving book search efficiency.
