Published: December 2023

The trendy Veil was a phenomenon among young women, especially after the Covid 19 outbreak. Many wear the veil as well as a mask to prevent disease. The purpose of this study was to reveal facts related to law, function, and social stigma against women who wear the trendy veil. This research was field research that used a normative approach. Data collection techniques in this study were interviews and documentation. At the same time, the analysis technique used in this study is descriptive. The findings in this study were that the law on wearing a trendy veil was sunnah as long as a trendy veil follows the general rules of dress for Muslim women. The trendy veil has three functions: worship, social, and health. In addition, there has been a change in the stigma of women who wear the veil today, especially women who wear trendy veils. The negative stigma against women who wear the veil has begun to disappear. The Muslim community has considered the trendy veil a necessity and a common thing.

Published: December 2023

One concept of preserving family assets can be carried out through the practice of dzurri waqf. In Minangkabau, preservation of family assets is carried out in the form of high inheritance management. This article aims to discuss the legal concept of dzurri waqf and its implementation in high inheritance management in Minangkabau, West Sumatra. The findings of this study are very specific because the Minangkabau culture adheres to on one side, a matrilineal system but on the other hand, is based on the Islamic law. The data in this study were obtained through in-depth interviews with four experts, i.e., the expert council of MUI West Sumatra, the Chair of the West Sumatra Indonesian Waqf Board, the Chair of West Sumatra Nazir, and the expert council of the Lembaga Kerapatan Adat Alam Minangkabau (LKAAM) West Sumatra. This study found that first, the concept of dzurri waqf is identical to the management of high heirloom assets in Minangkabau. It is proven by some asset management that is almost the same as dzurri waqf, i.e., the element of property must be retained in principal and from the element of beneficiaries (mauquf alaih) who are family members. Second, there is a strategy to maintain high pusako treasures through religion, namely by managing high pusako treasures, such as dzurri waqf management so that the identity of high pusako treasures as culture can survive and be managed sustainably. Third, in order to maintain the identity of the high pusako treasure, the nazir in the context of dzurri waqf is appointed from the niniak mamak component as the holder of the power of the high pusako treasure.
Formation of the Educational Trajectory: Educational Motives and Choices in the Narratives of Students from Moscow Leading Universities
Authors: Noskova A. V. , Goloukhova D. V. , Kuzmina E. I.
Published: December 2023

Motives  and  choices  related  to  obtaining  higher  education  represent  a  pressing  issue that occupies its own niche in the research agenda of the sociology of education and related scientific disciplines. The purpose of the article is to reveal the specifics of the formation of different types of educational trajectories from the perspective of the motives of primary and secondary educational choices of students from top-rated universities. The research question was formulated around differences in goal setting and motivational and value bases of choice when constructing different types of university trajectories  – linear and nonlinear.

The  collection  of  empirical  information  was  carried  out  through  interviews  with  40  students achieved the higher GPA from Moscow top-rated universities (MSU, MGIMO, HSE, MVTU, etc.).  Informants described their subjective educational experience as a sequence of choices they made in the space of higher education.

Analysis  of  students’  narratives  made  it  possible  to  qualitatively  differentiate  between  linear  and  nonlinear  trajectories,  as  well  as  their  subtypes,  differing  in  their  internal  motivation and educational settings. The analysis identified common motivational reasons for choosing a university and majors at the “entrance” to higher education, as well as motives for secondary educational choice specific to different types of university trajectories — motives for keeping and motives for changing a specialty and university. In the informants’ narratives, choosing a university is described as a complex, multimotivated action, in which the motives of prestige, self-development, as well as social and utilitarian motives are highlighted. Educational choices related to keeping or changing the educational trajectory are determined by the desire to avoid risks and having a high level of satisfaction with studies in the case of linear trajectories and the desire  to  gain  new  educational  experience,  obtaining  competencies  that  go  beyond  the  scope of the specialty being studied, as well as environmental factors of the university in the case of non-linear tracks.

It is shown that a qualitative research strategy allows the researchers to look at reflected educational choices from the perspective of their semantic content, which is especially in demand due to the growing trend towards individualization of the educational process. It is concluded that empirical knowledge about the motives and methods of shaping the educational trajectories of the current generation of students is necessary for the development of an effective social and educational environment of a modern university, focused on a student-centered approach to learning.
Early Benefits with Potential Long-Term Risks of a Comprehensive Intervention on Serum Cortisol Levels and Cognitive Performance in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Balietti Marta , Galeazzi Roberta , Giacconi Robertina , Santillo Elpidio , Giuli Cinzia
Published: December 2023

Background:

Elevated cortisol levels represent a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), prompting treatments to lower hormone concentrations for preventive or therapeutic purposes.

Objective:

To assess the efficacy of a comprehensive intervention (CI) in modulating serum cortisol levels in patients with AD.

Methods:

CI consisted in a 2-month protocol involving cognitive stimulation, psychological support, lifestyle guidance, leisure activities, and socialization. AD subjects were randomly assigned to experimental (EG, n = 45) and control (CG, n = 45) groups. A wide range of sociodemographic, cognitive, psychosocial, and functional conditions were evaluated before, at the conclusion, and 24 months after CI. Data about lifestyle and drug prescription were also recorded.

Results:

Baseline evaluations revealed that higher cortisol levels correlated with worse cognitive status (higher CDR and ADAS-Cog values and lower MMSE scores), increased depressive symptoms, and reduced physical and social engagement. Following CI, EG exhibited reduced cortisol levels, improved overall cognitive status, and enhanced verbal working memory and executive functions compared to CG. However, at the 24-month follow-up, EG displayed a rebound effect, characterized by elevated cortisol levels and cognitive decline compared to CG.

Conclusions:

These findings strengthen the adverse relationship between excessive cortisol and deficits in cognition/behavior in AD, demonstrate the short-term benefits of CI, and emphasize the potential long-term risks, which may be attributed to the fragile nature of the AD brain. Comprehensive interventions can yield positive results, but careful calibration of type and duration is necessary, considering disease progression and the potential need for re-administration.
Ontologies in the era of large language models – a perspective
Authors: Neuhaus Fabian
Published: December 2023

The potential of large language models (LLM) has captured the imagination of the public and researchers alike. In contrast to previous generations of machine learning models, LLMs are general-purpose tools, which can communicate with humans. In particular, they are able to define terms and answer factual questions based on some internally represented knowledge. Thus, LLMs support functionalities that are closely related to ontologies. In this perspective article, I will discuss the consequences of the advent of LLMs for the field of applied ontology.
Can serum ferritin serve as a biomarker for the prognosis of gynecological malignant tumors? A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Zhang Weidan , Chen Qiaoqiao , Cheng Yali , Wang Miao , Tong Jinfei , Tang Rongrong , Pan Yihong , Yang Jianhua
Published: December 2023

PURPOSE:

It is widely accepted that there is a strong relationship between iron levels and cancer. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum ferritin levels and the severity and prognosis of gynecological malignant tumors.

METHODS:

This retrospective study included patients with gynecological malignant tumors at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from January 2013 to June 2019. Patients were grouped according to their serum ferritin level: low ([Formula: see text] 13 [Formula: see text]g/L), normal (13–150 [Formula: see text]g/L), and high ([Formula: see text] 150 [Formula: see text]g/L). Correlation analyses were performed between serum ferritin level and other factors. Cox univariable and multivariable analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to assess the impact of ferritin on survival in patients with gynecologic tumors.

RESULTS:

The 402 total patients were divided into a low ([Formula: see text] 37), normal ([Formula: see text] 182), and high ([Formula: see text] 183) ferritin level group. Correlation analyses were performed that WBC, MCV, CRP, CA125, and CA153 were significantly positively correlated with serum ferritin level. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed that of the three groups analyzed, the high serum ferritin level group had a significantly shorter survival time versus the normal and low serum ferritin level groups (log-rank [Formula: see text] 0.003). Univariable Cox regression analysis identified that patients with high serum ferritin levels had a significant correlation with risk of death compared to the patients with lower and normal serum ferritin levels. Serum ferritin was not found to be significant (HR [Formula: see text] 0.792, 95% CI: 0.351–1.787, [Formula: see text] 0.574) in the multivariable Cox analysis.

CONCLUSION:

Although this study did not find serum ferritin to be a significant independent prognosis indicator in gynecological malignant tumors, this study did identify that gynecological malignant tumor patients with high serum ferritin levels have significantly less survival time than patients with low or normal serum ferritin levels.
Prognostic value and gene regulatory network of CMSS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma
Authors: Chen Cheng , Wang Caiming , Liu Wei , Chen Jiacheng , Chen Liang , Luo Xiangxiang , Wu Jincai
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND:

Cms1 ribosomal small subunit homolog (CMSS1) is an RNA-binding protein that may play an important role in tumorigenesis and development.

OBJECTIVE:

RNA-seq data from the GEPIA database and the UALCAN database were used to analyze the expression of CMSS1 in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) and its relationship with the clinicopathological features of the patients.

METHODS:

LinkedOmics was used to identify genes associated with CMSS1 expression and to identify miRNAs and transcription factors significantly associated with CMSS1 by GSEA.

RESULTS:

The expression level of CMSS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues. In addition, the expression level of CMSS1 in advanced tumors was significantly higher than that in early tumors. The expression level of CMSS1 was higher in TP53-mutated tumors than in non-TP53-mutated tumors. CMSS1 expression levels were strongly correlated with disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with LIHC, and high CMSS1 expression predicted poorer OS ([Formula: see text] 0.01) and DFS ([Formula: see text] 0.01). Meanwhile, our results suggested that CMSS1 is associated with the composition of the immune microenvironment of LIHC.

CONCLUSIONS:

The present study suggests that CMSS1 is a potential molecular marker for the diagnosis and prognostic of LIHC.
Attitudes and Considerations for Multidomain Lifestyle Approaches to Dementia Prevention: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Dingle Sara E. , Milte Catherine M. , Daly Robin M. , Torres Susan J.
Published: December 2023

Background: Dementia, with the most common form being Alzheimer’s disease, is a global health issue and lifestyle-based strategies may reduce risk. Individuals with a family history of dementia are an important target group, but little is known about their attitudes and perceptions of dementia risk reduction. Objective: To elucidate the attitudes to and key considerations for multidomain lifestyle-based dementia prevention strategies in middle-aged Australians with a family history of dementia. Methods: Twenty participants (80% female; age range 47–65 years), undertook semi-structured phone-based interviews. Inductive thematic analysis of interview transcripts was conducted. Hierarchical coding frames and illustrative quotes were compiled and critically challenged until a final set of themes was produced. Results: Some participants expressed a positive attitude toward lifestyle-based dementia prevention. Reasons related to wanting to future proof, believing that risk reduction is relevant at all life stages and/or that there is always room for improvement. Other participants had a negative attitude, expressing that they were already following a healthy lifestyle, did not feel it was relevant to them yet, and/or held a deterministic view that dementia is random. Important considerations congregated on the themes of being tailored/personalized, taking a holistic approach, and involving small, achievable steps. Conclusions: In individuals with a family history of dementia, a positive attitude to dementia prevention holds promise for intervention efforts, but in individuals expressing negative attitudes, further education and individual-level counselling may be warranted. Multidomain lifestyle-based preventive strategies also need to be tailored to the needs of key target groups to optimize appeal and effectiveness.
Effect of Vascular Risk Factors on Blood-Brain Barrier and Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers Along the Alzheimer’s Disease Continuum: A Retrospective Observational Study
Authors: Ricci Francesco , Martorana Alessandro , Bonomi Chiara G. , Serafini Chiara , Mercuri Nicola B. , Koch Giacomo , Motta Caterina
Published: December 2023

Background: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction could favor the pathogenesis and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Vascular risk factors (VRF) could worsen BBB integrity, thus promoting neurode generation. Objective: To investigate BBB permeability and its relation with VRF along the AD continuum (ADc). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Amyloid (A) and p-tau (T) levels were used to stratify patients. Methods: We compared CSF/plasma albumin ratio (QAlb) of 131 AD patients and 24 healthy controls (HC). APOE genotype and VRF were evaluated for each patient. Spearman’s Rho correlation was used to investigate the associations between Qalb and CSF AD biomarkers. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between Qalb and AD biomarkers, sex, age, cognitive status, and VRF. Results: QAlb levels did not show significant difference between ADc patients and HC (p = 0.984). However, QAlb was significantly higher in A + T–compared to A + T+ (p = 0.021). In ADc, CSF p-tau demonstrated an inverse correlation with QAlb, a finding confirmed in APOE4 carriers (p = 0.002), but not in APOE3. Furthermore, in APOE4 carriers, sex, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia were associated with QAlb (p = 0.004, p = 0.038, p = 0.038, respectively), whereas only sex showed an association in APOE3 carriers (p = 0.026). Conclusions: BBB integrity is preserved in ADc. Among AT categories, A + T–have a more permeable BBB than A + T+. In APOE4 carriers, CSF p-tau levels display an inverse association with BBB permeability, which in turn, seems to be affected by VRF. These data suggest a possible relationship between BBB efficiency, VRF and CSF p-tau levels depending on APOE genotype.
A Continuous Extension of Gene Set Enrichment Analysis Using the Likelihood Ratio Test Statistics Identifies Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor as a Candidate Pathway for Alzheimer’s Disease via ITGA5
Authors: Mahzarnia Ali , Lutz Michael W. , Badea Alexandra
Published: December 2023

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) involves brain neuropathologies such as amyloid plaque and hyperphosphorylated tau tangles and is accompanied by cognitive decline. Identifying the biological mechanisms underlying disease onset and progression based on quantifiable phenotypes will help understand disease etiology and devise therapies. Objective: Our objective was to identify molecular pathways associated with hallmark AD biomarkers and cognitive status, accounting for variables such as age, sex, education, and APOE genotype. Methods: We introduce a pathway-based statistical approach, extending the gene set likelihood ratio test to continuous phenotypes. We first analyzed independently each of the three phenotypes (amyloid-β, tau, cognition) using continuous gene set likelihood ratio tests to account for covariates, including age, sex, education, and APOE genotype. The analysis involved 634 subjects with data available for all three phenotypes, allowing for the identification of common pathways. Results: We identified 14 pathways significantly associated with amyloid-β; 5 associated with tau; and 174 associated with cognition, which showed a larger number of pathways compared to biomarkers. A single pathway, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor binding (VEGF-RB), exhibited associations with all three phenotypes. Mediation analysis showed that among the VEGF-RB family genes, ITGA5 mediates the relationship between cognitive scores and pathological biomarkers. Conclusions: We presented a new statistical approach linking continuous phenotypes, gene expression across pathways, and covariates like sex, age, and education. Our results reinforced VEGF RB2’s role in AD cognition and demonstrated ITGA5’s significant role in mediating the AD pathology-cognition connection.
A hybrid spectral-spatial formulation for the calculation of the transient eddy-current response
Authors: Skarlatos Anastasios , Reboud Chritophe
Published: December 2023

A new approach for the solution of transient eddy-current problems involving pieces with one direction of symmetry is presented. The approach is applicable to pieces with translational or rotational symmetry. A Fourier series decomposition of the solution is introduced in the direction of symmetry, which converts the original 3D numerical problem into a series of independent 2D problems. The decomposition has significant benefits in terms of computational time and numerical noise reduction, and is inherently parallelisable.

Authors: Bottani Eleonora , Correale Samanta , Rizzi Antonio , Stefanini Roberta , Vezzani Linda
Published: December 2023

The research aims at assessing the level of interest towards and adoption of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology among a sample of manufacturers, retailers, logistic service providers, solution providers and vertically integrated fashion retailers belonging to the Fashion, Consumer Goods and Healthcare sectors in Italy. A survey was created in collaboration with GS1 Italy, a no-profit organization that develops standards for enhancing collaboration between companies, associations, institutions and consumers and enrols more than 40,000 companies.

Overall, 58 useful responses were collected. Statistical analyses were carried out with the support of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows and MS Excel. Results show that RFID solutions are implemented by 31% of the interviewees and tested by 21% of them, mainly thanks to the favourable ROI and the possibility of gaining a competitive advantage over competitors through the automation of logistics processes, visibility of inventory and production progress, and avoided stock out. The RFID users often achieved results above expectations regarding the order picking errors reduction, the increase of operational efficiency and inventory accuracy. The few obstacles encountered are the read failures or the over-performing reading, but they are not perceived as relevant. Overall, most experimenters and non-users currently adopt barcode solutions, but showed their intention to implement RFID systems in the future, underlying a strong interest towards this identification technology.

Assessment of the reasons for the loss of stability of the retaining wall and the choice of slope stabilization options, taking into account the use of retaining walls of different rigidity
Authors: Nosenko Viktor , Malaman Artur
Published: December 2023

An assessment of the reasons for the loss of stability of the sliding slope and the manifestation of significant movements of the existing retaining walls is presented, as well as the selection of measures to stabilize the slope by installing one of the variants of retaining walls of different rigidity is performed.

To assess the stability of the slope and select the effective parameters of the retaining walls, a numerical simulation of the stress-strain state (SSS) of the elements "soil massif of the slope - retaining walls" was performed. Modeling was carried out by the method of finite elements using the "Plaxis" software complex in a non-linear setting, taking into account changes in the parameters of structures and soils at different stages of modeling.

An assessment of the real movements of the retaining walls and the reasons for the loss of slope stability at the initial stage was carried out using geodetic monitoring.

A characteristic engineering-geological section in the zone of the greatest deformations of the existing anti-slide structures was chosen for modeling the calculation scheme.

Numerical calculations of the retaining walls, which were carried out using the finite element method, involve taking into account the technological sequence of the construction of the retaining walls and modeling the step-by-step development of the pit. Modeling was performed in several stages:

1) Formation of soil SSS in the current natural state;

2) Assessment of the stability of the slope before the start of construction, in the presence of an old massive retaining wall made of limestone blocks.

3) Assessment of the stability of the slope in the version of the original design solution with a retaining wall made of short bored piles with a diameter of 820 mm and taking into account the development of the pit to the design mark.

4) Modeling of SSS elements "soil array of the slope - retaining walls" with different options of the new retaining wall in order to choose an effective option that will ensure the possibility of developing the pit to the design marks and stabilizing the slope.

Based on the results of numerical modeling of slope stabilization options with retaining walls of different designs and rigidity, the consumption of materials for each of the options was determined and the most effective option was selected.

Studies have shown that depending on the change in the spatial rigidity of the retaining walls by introducing additional elements (buttresses, struts) it is possible to obtain an optimal solution and, in the future, to effectively design a complex of anti-landslide structures.
Factors affecting the operation of the floor of industrial buildings
Authors: Malyshev Oleg , Miroshnychenko Anton
Published: December 2023

In recent years, a high rate of construction of industrial facilities, located not only outside the city limits, but also in the conditions of urban development, in most cases on the outskirts of cities, has been observed. Such buildings include: production, transport, logistics or warehouse complexes. The latter, moreover, play a rather important role in the life cycle of any city.

For the reliable and efficient operation of such structures, in addition to ensuring the requirements for their strength, reliability and durability, which are put forward to the supporting and enclosing structures, it is also necessary to ensure the long-term, trouble-free and safe operation of floors subjected to various influences.

In recent years, the use of industrial concrete floors, which can be found quite often not only in industrial buildings, but also in places with a high traffic load, for example, floors in warehouses or factories, sales halls, hangars, airports, railway stations, stations, is gaining relevance maintenance, laboratories, which is explained by their high technical and economic indicators, as well as their resistance to the load from equipment and transport, the fall of heavy objects, thermal, vibration, chemical, temperature effects and abrasion.

In addition, industrial floors should be characterized by high strength, wear resistance, a long service life, maintainability, unpretentiousness in care.

However, along with this, there are also negative factors regarding the use of concrete industrial floors. Thus, due to the presence of a porous structure, the concrete floor covering is prone to destruction during operation. This leads to the formation of dust, which can rise into the air and fall into respiratory organs. Also, concrete floors are not resistant to chemical solutions that affect resistant to chemical solutions that affect the formation of cracks. Of course, there are methods of combating these negative factors, such as wet cleaning or using a special topping.
Peculiarities of using the hypothesis of S.O. Kulon for soil dispersed sediments
Authors: Boyko Igor
Published: December 2023

The publication is devoted to the outstanding French scientist Charles Auguste Coulomb, who 250 years ago (1773) proposed a hypothesis that relates tangential and normal stresses through the angle of internal friction of soils. This hypothesis provides reliable results while maintaining Hooke's law. Beyond this law, it is necessary to take into account the property of the soil medium, namely the change in volume during shearing or displacement of soils, which requires the introduction of additional dilatancy parameters.

It is known that there are two types of friction in nature: sliding and rolling friction. At certain values of deformation in the soil medium, sliding friction, which is characterised by the traditional value of the internal friction angle, initially appears in certain zones of the soil medium at low deformations. Further increase in deformation causes rolling friction, which is characterised by a different value of the internal friction angle, almost one third less than the traditional value of the internal friction angle of the soil. This fact must be taken into account when performing numerical modelling of a dispersed soil medium from the beginning of loading to its failure. In this publication, we discuss the methodology for finding the parameters of the dilatancy theory to reveal the elastic-plastic deformation of cohesionless soils based on experimental results. Recommendations are given on the use of the Coulomb hypothesis in engineering calculations and on the relationship between tangential and normal stresses through the angle of internal friction of soils. For a correct description of the nonlinear process of soil deformation, it is necessary to use the parameters of the dilatancy theory, which can be investigated on an axisymmetric shear tester.

The results of tests of sand of medium size, medium density, low-moisture, homogeneous on several devices showed that the values of the angle of internal friction of soils differ depending on the design of the device. This fact is recommended to be taken into account when designing geotechnical facilities.
THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE OF INCLUSIVE HARMONIZATION OF THE INTERIOR SPACE OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Authors: Pavlenko Tetiana , Rudenko Liliya
Published: December 2023

This study examines the theoretical and practical experience of inclusive harmonization of the internal space of public buildings. In the process of identifying the features of internal space harmonization, a number of key aspects of the importance of color contrast were determined (definition of contours and shapes, orientation and navigation, identification of objects, security). It has been analyzed and determined that color contrast improves accessibility and perception of the environment for visually impaired people, making information more accessible and enabling more effective interaction with the surrounding world. The authors analyzed the practical experience of designing the interior space of public buildings and identified their features. 

The research method revealed that taking into account the psychophysiological characteristics of users is a key element in the process of choosing a color palette. Designing inclusive spaces requires careful study and understanding of the needs of people with different physical and mental characteristics. Shades of color can affect our emotional state and physical well-being, so it is important to create spaces that support diversity and take into account the needs of all users.

The work highlights issues of ergonomics and safety in the context of color harmonization. It is important not only to create an aesthetically pleasing space, but also to ensure its safety and convenience for everyone. Color solutions can be used to mark traffic paths, highlight dangerous zones, and also to improve readability and recognition of objects in space.

On the basis of the work carried out, it was determined that the research and further identification of inclusive methods of color harmonization of the interior space of public buildings with the definition of clear parameters of contrast becomes an actual direction of the development of this work. Understanding the importance of inclusive color harmony is the key to building a modern society that respects and supports all its members.

Published: December 2023

The article focuses on a detailed analysis of the legislative and regulatory framework and theoretical sources of domestic and foreign experts on the problem of making urban planning decisions on the organization of greening of the street and road network of urban settlements. The main functions of greening - urban planning and ecological - are singled out and characterized. A study of the street and road network of Kyiv was carried out with a decomposition of problem areas related to urban improvement and landscaping, namely: an inefficient surface drainage system, increased soil salinity along the roadway and pedestrian zones, a limited life span of tree and shrub plantings.

The foreign experience of greening city streets was studied, where the main attention is paid to the restoration of biodiversity due to the sowing of onion grasses with a ban on mowing, planting trees and shrubs for nitrogen fixation and soil retention from landslides, erosion, significant wind load, preservation of soil moisture due to the use of various types of mulching for the vital activity of beneficial microorganisms and provision of water-soluble plant nutrients, arrangement of rain gardens and ditches, where moisture can accumulate after significant atmospheric precipitation and directly feed the plants that grow nearby, and already the excess rainwater is subject to extraction in the surface drainage network. 

A principle model of the stages of selection of green spaces for the street and road network of cities is presented according to the following aspects: urban planning conditions and restrictions, agrotechnical and decorative properties of green spaces, performance of ecological and urban planning functions by green spaces. When organizing landscaping, the importance of taking into account the needs of different users of public spaces (drivers and passengers of vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians), as well as the nature and function of adjacent buildings, is emphasized. The range of problems of the organization of greening of urban transport hubs and races of the city of Kyiv has been determined. The importance of developing uniform standards for the organization of greening of the street and road network of cities, criteria and indicators of the quality of greening, taking into account the functions and principles of greening organization, is emphasized. The development of the specified quality indicators will make it possible to approach the choice of plant assortment on city streets and roads in a balanced and rational manner, and the implementation of such urban projects will meet the requirements of time and the ecological state of urban settlements.
CURRENT STATE OF THE BASIS OF THE THEORY OF RESTORATION PROCESSES
Authors: Osipov Sergei
Published: December 2023

In the article, on the basis of a brief retrospective analysis and generalizations, it is established that the modern foundations of the theory of restoration processes have a fairly developed initial empirical basis in the form of many recorded facts, but they do not fully reveal the essence of the processes and phenomena occurring in the ar-chitectural monument during its restoration. The foundations of the theory do not have the required number of their own rules and evidence, since the theoretical foun-dations and logic of the theory are characterized as incomplete. The main body of theoretical and applied knowledge, in the form of a set of statements, is predominant-ly borrowed from other areas of construction production (reconstruction, repair or new construction) with weak adaptation regarding the special properties of its own object and the subject of research - architectural monuments and the processes of their restoration. The foundations of the modern foundations of the theory of restora-tion of architectural monuments are the aesthetic, emotional, cognitive and histori-cal-documentary aspects, which in turn underlie the theoretical concepts of restora-tion, and which are brought together for the first time into a system, and such aspects of restoration as emotional, cognitive and historical-documentary, the author of the article first proposed the following formulations, characterized by laconicism and semantic capacity, namely: “delight and awe from touching the genuine creation of human fantasy”; “evidence of the past development of the spiritual and practical ac-tivities of human society”; “a historical document accepted as an irrefutable scien-tific fact of the existence and development of society, its spiritual and material cul-ture.”
STRATEGIC ANALYSIS OF SPACE DIFFERENTIATION OF TERITORIAL COMMUNITIES OF UKRAINE
Authors: Khokhuliak Olesia
Published: December 2023

It was established that differences in natural and climatic conditions, resource potential, cultural traditions, as well as economic, social and other factors cause the heterogeneity of the spatial development of the country's territorial communities. At the same time, issues related to the analysis of the uneven socio-economic development of territorial communities within the framework of strategic management remain unresolved. The theoretical and methodological foundations of the strategic analysis of the spatial differentiation of territorial communities are substantiated.

It has been proven that when developing a territorial community development strategy, it is important to determine the place and role of a separate community in relation to each of the analysis indicators. Therefore, in our opinion, to carry out such a comparison and visualization, it is worth applying a cluster approach, which will also allow assessing the unevenness of the development of territories. The proposed algorithm of strategic analysis of spatial differentiation of territorial communities, which involves grouping according to a set of parameters into appropriate cluster groups. Such a grouping will allow, within the framework of strategic planning, to determine the priority areas and tools of influence regulation for each group of territorial communities.

In accordance with the specified methodical approach, differentiation of territorial communities of Ukraine was carried out according to individual indicators of socio-economic development. In particular, according to one of the most important economic indicators contained in the database of the information and analytical system for monitoring statistical and administrative indicators of territorial communities, namely the average income of the general budget per 1 inhabitant, there is a discrepancy of UAH 64,410 with a range from UAH 716 to UAH 645 126 UAH. The results of the cluster analysis made it possible to distinguish four groups of territorial communities based on the income of the general budget per 1 resident.

Published: December 2023

One of the biggest socio-cultural challenges of our time is China (PRC). China's increasing political, commodity and demographic expansion is causing understandable concern and even fear among representatives of other cultures. The question arises about the possible military expansion of the Chinese People's Army.

The political problem of the war for the PRC is the "absolute, theocratic power of one person" and the lack of a real balanced division of power. In modern China, the Communist Party retains monopoly power. The successful financial and economic growth of the last decades takes place on a different, non-communist basis. For further economic and social development and to prevent a possible military escalation, radical reforms that are democratic in nature are needed.

War or the military enslavement of other peoples for the purpose of enrichment were not priorities in traditional Chinese society. With all the power of the imperial army, we do not have much historical data on external military expansion. The source of wealth in China has always been internal productive forces - fertile land and people, which the army was supposed to protect.

The formation of the school of strategists was significantly influenced by other teachings of the era of the "hundred schools": Confucianism (the presence of a moral hierarchy, the importance of rituals), Legists (the importance of fear of punishment), Taoism (the principle of inaction), the teaching of "yin-yang" (the presence of the five elements ) and other universal concepts of Chinese philosophical thought.

The aim of this study was to characterize a papaya variety grown in Alto Solimoes, Amazonas, identifying the most important descriptors for recognizing the variety and describing the variety based on its morphological and agronomic characteristics. The study consisted of 30 plants. The qualitative data was described, while the quantitative data was submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. The results showed that the variety has peculiar characteristics, such as purple-medium stem pigmentation, the absence of hermaphrodite flowers and the light orange color of the fruit pulp at the horticultural maturity point. Thus, preserving this variety is essential, considering its local commercial relevance and its potential for future genetic improvement programs.
Apolo, Dionísio e a tragédia grega no primeiro Nietzsche
Authors: Belfante Maria Caroline
Published: December 2023

Este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender os conceitos do apolíneo e do dionisíaco e a importância da tragédia grega nas obras iniciais de Friedrich Nietzsche. Apolo é o deus da medida, da retidão, do sonho, dos limites individuais, enquanto Dionísio é o deus do vinho, da dança, da música, marcado pela embriaguez e exagero. Apolo e Dionísio são impulsos da natureza com tendências opostas, mas que se unem e se complementam na tragédia grega. A tragédia grega é capaz de justificar a existência pela rica compreensão de mundo que ela propicia. O homem grego tem consciência dos sofrimentos do mundo e usa a arte como forma de suportar a vida. Sócrates passou a criticar tudo aquilo que não podia ser compreendido pela razão e pela lógica, com isso houve a queda dos valores dionisíacos e por consequência, aquilo que Nietzsche considera como a morte da tragédia.
divisão de juízos na Crítica da Razão Pura, de Kant
Authors: Viero Cristóvão Atilio
Published: December 2023

Nós podemos encontrar no pensamento de Kant, em especial na sua obra Crítica da Razão Pura, alguns aspectos fundamentais para as diretrizes da filosofia nos tempos posteriores. Sob a perspectiva de uma filosofia crítica, buscando pelas condições de possibilidade do conhecimento humano, o filósofo faz uma análise das condições sem as quais não nos é possível conhecer a realidade, falar sobre objetos e distinguir entre conhecimento possível e impossível. No sentido de identificar alguns destes marcos, escolhemos fazer no presente texto uma breve abordagem do tema presente na filosofia kantiana da separação entre juízos analíticos e sintéticos. Depois de analisar e procurar identificar as estratégias usadas por Kant em sua obra, o artigo aponta, a título ilustrativo, algumas implicações trazidas pela atitude crítica, desde a perspectiva da Filosofia Analítica dos séculos XIX e XX, até a refutação desta separação sustentada por Quine em Dois Dogmas do Empirismo.

The purpose of the article is to study the regularity of moisture redistribution from organic fertilizers of high humidity to soil layers for the formation of a moisture-retaining layer during the cultivation of agricultural crops. For research, soil, organic fertilizers of high humidity and soil again were laid in layers in cylindrical containers. The moisture content of the layers was measured every 7-10 days. As a result, a clear distribution of the humidity of the layers was found in all variants of the experiment. The minimum humidity is found in the upper layer. The greatest migration of moisture to the upper layer took place on clay soil and the application of organic fertilizer sapropel + chaff of wheat straw. The moisture accumulated in the middle layer of organic fertilizers migrated the most to the lower layer in all variants of the experiment with clay soil, where the equalization of moisture in the middle and lower layers occurred during the first 30 days of the study. In the variants of the experiment with sandy soil, the maximum moisture retention in the middle layer was found for the organic fertilizer sapropel + wood sawdust and sapropel + wheat straw chaff. In order to implement the process of forming a layer of fertilizers with increased soil moisture under the conditions of growing agricultural crops of the wide-row sowing method, a scheme of a modernized spreader of organic fertilizers is proposed. The revealed regularities indicate the expediency of using sapropel of natural humidity for the formation of a nutrient layer on sandy soil. For the purpose of mechanized application by the working bodies of machines for solid organic fertilizers, it is advisable to mix sapropel with available organic fillers. The introduction of a method of growing agricultural crops with a wide-row sowing method, which involves the creation of strips of organic fertilizers of high humidity in the soil, can be implemented on the basis of a modernized, according to the scheme given in the article, spreader of organic fertilizers.
Influence of Parameters of Disc Coulters on the Transmission Capacity of Cutting Crop Residues in the System of Zero Tillage

The implementation of no-tillage seeding technology has a number of economic and environmental benefits, such as improved soil properties, reduced erosion and soil degradation, and improved time and fuel efficiency. However, the main disadvantage of these technologies is that plant residues on the surface of the soil reduce the ability of uniform germination of seeds of agricultural crops, which requires the introduction of an additional process of harvesting or cutting plant residues. Theoretical studies substantiate the dependence of the diameter of a single disc coulter on the working depth of penetration of the disc, the depth of the layer of plant residues and the angle of compression. The use of active and passive coulters, which cut the straw by sliding on the working surface of the field. Experimental studies have established that the use of four different forms of disc coulters with a diameter of 380 mm (smooth with the number of teeth n=0, groove depth Δr=0 mm; toothed n=12, Δr=15 mm; toothed n=18, Δr=10 mm; toothed n=18, Δr=20 mm), straw with natural moisture (W=10.1%) and wet winter wheat straw with moisture (W=22.3%) were best cut through. Experimental studies have confirmed the restriction of the rotation of the active disc coulter at high speeds (speed coefficient λ>1.37 and λ=1.58), which leads to a greater amount of cut straw, compared to the case of using a disc coulter with passive rotation in contact with the soil ( λ=1.0). Serrated disc coulters cut straw and crop residues more efficiently than smooth discs. Studies confirm the dependence of straw cutting ability on the moisture content of the material, where the amount of straw cut through decreases as the moisture content of the material increases. Forced rotation of a toothed disc coulter (speed coefficient λ>1.37 and λ=1.58) in untreated soil (moisture 12.9±0.4%, hardness 0.5 MPa, disc penetration depth up to 35 mm) provides 56 ,0 – 69.3% cutting of winter wheat straw of natural moisture (W=10.1%); which is significantly greater than the values obtained during free movement of the disk toothed coulter at (λ=1.0).
