Today, there are no military air bases in Ukraine, which is a crisis of the state
leadership's policy from 1992 to 2013, because the development of aviation is the
basic guarantee of the country's defence capability: superiority in the air during
war is decisive for the further course of hostilities, as it allows to control objects
of civil and critical infrastructure, which are the basis of the functioning of the
state and its army. The article differentiates between the concepts of "military
airfield" and "military air base" and offers its interpretation of the
term "military air base" based on the functional content and specifics of such
an object, which involves the combination of a military airfield complex, transport
infrastructure with a developed public block - a pilot training centre, catering, sports
and cultural leisure zone, personnel living area, medical support, - and implementation
of active and passive protection and masking systems. Based on the analysis of the
existing state of military airfields in Ukraine, and domestic normative documents
regarding their design, the necessity of designing a military air base on the territory
of Ukraine was substantiated and the main factors affecting the location, functional,
architectural, planning and security solution of such a complex were investigated, the
specifics were analyzed its functioning depending on the social and political conditions
in the state. Therefore, the need to design a ground-based military air base in Ukraine
is substantiated by the possibility of implementing such an object in remote territories
from the demarcation line with the enemy and the implementation of effective measures to
mask the construction process itself, the underground location of buildings and
structures of the complex or their integration into the existing terrain. The large area
and variety of landscapes of Ukraine provide the possibility of a wide choice of
territory for the location of the air base, taking into account all the necessary
factors, which is the safest option for Ukraine in the modern context of war. The
results of the research can be the basis for further scientific research and practical
implementation during the construction of such objects to solve tasks of defensive
nature and strengthen the military capacity of Ukraine.

Today, in Ukraine, there are many problems in the field of modernization of the
internal architectural space of health care institutions and the creation of specialized
premises in new centers that will provide rehabilitation for military personnel in
accordance with world standards. Despite the government's efforts to improve the
level of medical services provided to military personnel, there is a noticeable shortage
of rehabilitation centers, as well as a need to expand existing medical facilities.
Today, the task of architects and designers is to create an aesthetic yet ergonomic
interior space in universal halls for the physical recovery of military personnel.
Several factors have been identified that influence the design of the interior of a
physical rehabilitation hall for military personnel, including functional, aesthetic,
natural-climatic, socio-psychological and physiological. Based on the study and analysis
of existing physical rehabilitation halls for veterans abroad, recommendations for
interior design were formulated: provision of free space around each element of
equipment; maximizing the use of natural light; choosing pastel tones for wall finishes
and using easily cleanable surfaces; organizing rehabilitation equipment by function and
stages of recovery; the use of color contrast in the floor covering to indicate the
direction of movement and the correct selection of the floor covering material, which
does not create obstacles to movement with the help of equipment and does not wear out;
including rest areas in the rehabilitation hall space; flexible planning with the option
for occasional space partitioning; incorporating greenery into the recreation areas.
Based on the conducted research, a design option for the interior design of the
universal hall has been proposed.

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the world faced unprecedented changes
driven by the rapid development of technology, industrialization, and growing
urbanization. Technological progress impacted all aspects of life, particularly the
social structure, economy, and culture. Millions of people moved to cities in search of
new jobs, where new work opportunities were available, but they also encountered
challenges associated with rapid industrial development. Along with these changes arose
the need for new forms of education that could meet the demands of both individuals and
entire communities. In response to this demand, the University Extension movement
emerged in Great Britain and the United States. Its goal was to overcome the limitations
of traditional university education and make scientific knowledge accessible to people.
This article explores the historical context of the emergence and development of the
University Extension movement in England and the United States in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries. It examines the social and economic conditions that contributed to
the formation of this movement and the impact it had on adult education development. In
particular, key aspects of the movement are analyzed, including how it contributed to
increasing access to higher education for people from different social backgrounds and
how it influenced the rise of social mobility in society. The study's conclusions
indicate that different social and economic conditions, educational systems, and
cultural characteristics in England and the United States were decisive factors in
shaping the differences in the development of the university extension concept in these
countries. The article also highlights the role of University Extension in promoting
educational innovations. Thanks to this movement, new teaching approaches emerged, which
gradually transformed the higher education system, making it more flexible and adaptable
to society's needs. Today, the ideas laid down by the University Extension movement
continue to evolve, taking on new forms. Thus, the article not only explores the history
of this educational movement but also emphasizes its relevance in the modern world,
where access to education remains a crucial issue.

Non-stationary objects for theatrical-spectacular and cultural-educational
activities can be relevant not only during work in mining zones, agricultural regions,
recreational and resort areas, during national, religious, seasonal and other holidays
in peacetime. There is undoubtedly a need for them now, during the restoration of what
was destroyed by the war, and after the victory over russia. This is proved not only by
research, exploratory and applied design at the Department of Architectural Environment
Design, but also by the use of the experience of designing and building such structures
by foreign architects. In the restoration of the country in the cultural sphere,
non-stationary buildings and structures for theatrical-spectacular and
cultural-educational activities, the use of which can be started even during military
operations, can become important objects. Also, such buildings will be relevant even
after the war. The scientific and project activities of the Department of Architectural
Environment Design on the study of buildings and structures of a mobile, movable,
prefabricated nature were based on the experience of the department's employees and
students, as well as on the design searches and realizations of European and overseas
architects. For theatrical-spectacular and cultural-educational tasks in the conditions
of the war in Ukraine and after the victory over the russian federation, during the
restoration of everything destroyed, it is possible and should be used the designs of
teachers and students of the Department of Architectural Environment Design and foreign
architects, especially those that have been tested in real spectacular and cultural -
educational activities. And these are collapsible platforms, collapsible mobile stages
and mobile theater and performance structures, temporary pavilions, spaces, etc. Thus,
the implementation of non-stationary objects is a relevant and promising direction that
will allow the effective use of resources for the restoration and development of the
cultural industry in the conditions of modern challenges.

Terveystutkimusten aineistoja analysoitaessa on tärkeää tuntea aineiston edustavuus. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten hyvin postikyselynä Helsingin kaupungin henkilöstöstä kerätty aineisto kuvaa kohdeväestöä. Toisena tavoitteena oli tutkia, miten kysely sopii yhdistettäväksi terveystarkastus- ja rekisteritietoihin.
Kysely lähetettiin vuonna 2000 yhteensä 4659 henkilöstöön kuuluvalle 40–60-vuotiaalle. Osallistumisaktiivisuus oli 69 prosenttia. Yhdistettyyn aineistoon kuului kolmasosa kyselyn palauttaneista. Tietoja otoksesta saatiin henkilöstörekisteristä iän, sosioekonomisen aseman, työsuhteen vakituisuuden, toimialan ja sairauspoissaolojen mukaan.
Kysely- ja yhdistetty aineisto edustivat kohdeväestöä kohtuullisen hyvin. Vanhempien miesten osallistumisaktiivisuus oli hieman nuorempia korkeampi. Ylemmät toimihenkilöt osallistuivat aktiivisemmin tutkimukseen kuin muut toimihenkilöt tai työntekijät. Pitkät sairauspoissaolot liittyivät vastaajilla jonkin verran alhaisempaan osallistumisaktiivisuuteen.
Valikoituminen iän, sosioekonomisen aseman ja sairauspoissaolojen mukaan on huomioitava terveystutkimusaineistoja käytettäessä sekä tulosten tulkinnassa ja johtopäätöksissä.
Here, There, and Elsewhere: Ethnicity, Identity, and Global Orientation at an Indian International School in Singapore
Authors: Grimley Emma , Woods Orlando , Kong Lily
Published: December 2024

International schools are somewhat ‘place-less’ in that their denationalised educational systems and nationally diverse student bodies are typically removed from the physical context in which each school is located. However, this placeless internationalism is complicated by international schools that also affiliate themselves with a national system or enrol a significant number of students who aspire to remain in the ‘host’ country. This paper develops the example of the Global Indian International School in Singapore to illustrate how the feeling of place is impacted by its dual orientations as both ‘Global’ and ‘Indian’. The school attempts to (re)create an Indian schooling environment in Singapore, cultivate a sense of Indian identity, and prepare students for internationally mobile futures. Drawing on qualitative interviews conducted with students and teachers at the Global Indian International School in Singapore, we explore placemaking practices in educational spaces and consider how they are impacted by the potentially conflicting goals of grounding students in their ethnic or cultural identities whilst simultaneously equipping them for internationally-oriented futures.

Superionic conductors have a number of important characteristics and applications that make them important in the field of materials science, technology and industry. At the same time, when developing and analyzing the properties of new materials to optimize their composition and material processing, information about microhardness is mandatory. This is important to ensure the stability and efficiency of devices over a long period of time. This paper presents a study of the microhardness of single-crystal samples of Ag7+x(P1-xGex)S6 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.75, 1) solid solutions. For all the studied samples, a decrease in the microhardness H is observed with an increase in the load P, indicating the presence of a direct size effect. The microhardness of single-crystal samples is also described within the PSR (proportional specimen resistance) model, the results of which also indicate the presence of a direct size effect. The values of the intrinsic hardness H0 calculated within the PSR model for solid solutions of Ag7+x(P1-xGex)S6 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.75, 1) are as follows: 903.1 N/mm2 (x=0), 997.7 N/mm2 (x=0.1), 990.2 N/mm2 (x=0.25), 1019.9 N/mm2 (x=0.33), 1053.3 N/mm2 (x=0.5), 1097.8 N/mm2 (x=0.75), 1081.1 N/mm2 (x=0.1). To assess the influence of the direct size effect, Meyer's law was used. For the studied solid solutions of Ag7+x(P1-xGex)S6, the values of the Meyer's index are in the range n = 1.72 ÷ 1.86, which indicates that these solid solutions belong to soft materials.

The study examines the antimicrobial activity of linear chalcogen-functionalized derivatives in the thiazoloquinazoline series against the pathogen Staphylococcus aureus and investigates the influence of low-intensity laser radiation on the sensitivity of thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline chlorides. The research involved synthesizing the investigated thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline chlorides via chalcogen-induced cyclization. For the first time, 2,3-dihydro-2-((trichloro-λ4-selanyl)methyl)-5-oxo-8-(trifluoromethyl)-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-10-ium chloride was obtained, and its structure was confirmed using advanced spectral methods (¹H NMR and IR spectroscopy).
Based on experimental microbiological data, it was determined that 2,3-dihydro-2-((trichloro-λ4-tellanyl)methyl)-5-oxo-8-(trifluoromethyl)-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-10-ium chloride showed lower minimum inhibitory and minimum bactericidal concentrations (62.5 mg/mL) compared to its selenium analog, with MIC and MBC values of 250 mg/mL. The nature of the chalcogen significantly affects the antimicrobial activity of the base thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline against Staphylococcus aureus. The application of low-intensity red-spectrum laser radiation does not enhance the activity of the quinazolines studied.

Authors: Shutova T. S.
Published: December 2024

The transition from a direct sales business model to a franchise model requires a review of the company’s strategy, structure and key business processes. One of the key tasks for the company’s management is knowledge management, which plays an important role in ensuring its competitiveness. Changing the business model involves alterations in the value chain and organizational structure of the company in the context of franchising.

This study focuses on the business format franchise, where the management company not only transfers the right to a product and service, but also provides a complete business format, including a marketing strategy, quality standards, and a set of organizational knowledge about the specifics of providing services. Using the example of the 4hands manicure and pedicure salon network, practical aspects of transformation are demonstrated, such as the transfer of operational functions to franchisees and difficulties in communication within the network. The importance of effective knowledge transfer is emphasized as one of the factors of sustainable growth of the franchise network. Knowledge is also considered as a strategic resource that provides a competitive advantage of the company, which is confirmed by the analysis of the VRIO model.

Published: December 2024

La calidad de las plántulas en especies hortícolas influye luego del trasplante en el rendimiento y calidad de los cultivos. La luz artificial generada por diodos emisores de luz, permite producir plántulas fuera de temporada y en sistemas de granjas verticales. La composición del espectro de radiación y la intensidad proporcionada, son factores determinantes durante el ciclo de producción. En el presente trabajo, se evaluó el efecto de tres composiciones lumínicas obtenidas por variación de las proporciones de longitudes de onda (rojo, azul, verde, violeta y rojo lejano); y tres niveles de intensidad de luz (240, 160, 90 µmol.m-2.s-1), en el crecimiento y calidad de plántulas de tomate, entre agosto y septiembre de 2021 en un módulo de cultivo sin luz externa ubicado en Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. La biomasa de las plántulas no se diferenció frente a los distintos espectros evaluados, mientras que la intensidad lumínica más elevada generó un mayor rendimiento en peso fresco y seco total. La biomasa de raíces mostro una tendencia decreciente al disminuir la intensidad lumínica y se obtuvo mayor altura de plántulas en los tratamientos con 240 y 90 µmol.m-2.s-1. Se verificó un incremento del Índice Relativo de Clorofila en los tratamientos con mayor proporción de luz azul, mientras que las intensidades de 240 y 160 µmol.m-2.s-1, generaron los valores significativamente superiores. Este estudio establece una base para futuras investigaciones enfocadas en la optimización del recurso lumínico en la producción de plántulas.

Environmental start-ups in the solar energy sector: social initiatives or profitable projects?
Authors: Stroiko Tetiana , de las Heras Jambrino Carlos , Iglesias Sánchez Patricia
Published: December 2024

A special category of startups is social startups, which primarily seek to solve a certain social, environmental or cultural problem, and not to make money on it. This approach makes it difficult to monetize and attract funds, which endangers their survival. A typical startup measures success by revenue and profit. The goal of a social business is to recoup its costs (optimistic scenario) and solve a social problem. Its success is measured by impact (positive impact, return). We have to prove that green start-ups (alternative solar energy) can be effective business projects that can ensure project profitability and realize social and environmental benefits.
In recent decades, the world has seen a tendency to move away from traditional sources of energy to alternative ones. A responsible business, realizing the importance of preserving the environment, tries to minimize the negative impact of its activities on the environment. On the basis of global reports, the development of the global market for green technologies and sustainable development is studied.
The peculiarity of eco-startups is that they are created not only to make a profit, but primarily to solve the problem of environmental protection. Therefore, the implementation of such projects will also contribute to the formation of an environmentally conscious generation.

Authors: Kosman Wojciech , Łukowicz Henryk , Bartela Łukasz , Homa Dorota , Ochmann Jakub
Published: December 2024

The paper presents an analysis of a transition from a coal-fired power plant to a nuclear unit. The main focus is set on the extensive usage of the existing parts of the already operating system. The key problem is the correct matching of a nuclear reactor and the steam island. It is assumed here that the reactor module operates under nominal conditions and the steam turbine is adapted to fit the reactor. The paper describes the numerical model of the steam turbine cycle for the off-design simulations. The developed model allows us to determine the changes in the steam cycle in order to match the required water and steam temperature values at the inlets and the outlets of the steam generator. The paper presents the suggested modifications and the evaluation of the operation after the transition.

Published: December 2024

The positive impact of numerous healthy behaviours on human health and wellbeing is well known. This study is the first to provide a comprehensive single healthy lifestyle score for a heterogeneous adult population in Bulgaria. The aim of this study is to make single healthy lifestyle score of the adults in Bulgaria. The survey was carried out with 714 randomly selected participants. A relative lifestyle score (RLS) was based on smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, diet and BMI of respondents. The RLS ranged from 0 to 5, and a higher score representing a healthier lifestyle. The relationship between respondents’ healthy behaviours and demographic features was determined via the Pearson correlation coefficient. We found that the healthy lifestyle score of the participants is 2.98 of 5.00. The relatively lifestyle score of halves (45.94%) of them is in the range of 3.9-4.29. Regarding smoking and alcohol consumption, respondents' behaviour is the healthiest: 63.31% nonsmokers and 68.63% abstainers. Low physical activity and mixed diet patterns are the main risk factors for optimal healthy lifestyle achievement. We identified the demographic groups that are most vulnerable. Our study provides a possibility for reliable comparisons of healthy lifestyle levels among populations across countries. The RLS is a reliable tool for assessment a healthy lifestyle both of individuals and the community.
Destination Eastern Rhodopes – opportunities for niche products through the development of esoteric and pilgrimage tourism
Authors: Petrova Antoaneta
Published: December 2024

Any form of tourism that deviates from the mainstream is classified as alternative tourism. In this context, esoteric and religious tourism play a pivotal role in fostering inclusive and sustainable development within the Eastern Rhodopes Destination. Religious tourism, depending on its specific purpose, can be further subdivided into several categories, including missionary tourism (specialized travel aimed at spreading Christian teachings), pilgrimage tourism (travel undertaken to visit sacred sites for spiritual purposes), educational tourism (trips with an academic or scholarly focus), and festival tourism (attending religiously motivated celebrations, often of a mass nature, such as those dedicated to saints or religious events).

Religious tourism is commonly regarded as a subset of cultural tourism, as many religious sites attract visitors who may not necessarily adhere to the religious beliefs associated with those locations. These sites are frequently included in broader tourist itineraries and are visited not only for their religious significance but also for their cultural, aesthetic, architectural, or historical values.

Pilgrimage, in its traditional sense, refers to a journey undertaken for religious reasons, often to a holy place, driven by a deeper, inward spiritual purpose and a quest for inner understanding. Pilgrimages are typically dedicated to sacred spaces such as churches, temples, mosques, holy mountains, and sites of divine visitation. The development of these specialized forms of tourism is crucial for attracting visitors seeking distinctive or alternative travel experiences, contributing to the diversification of tourism offerings. In Bulgaria, places of religious significance, such as holy sites, monasteries, icons, relics, and healing springs, continue to be central to pilgrimage tourism. These destinations often serve as focal points for individuals whose spiritual practices intertwine Orthodox Christianity with a variety of esoteric beliefs.

The community service activity themed "Digital Literacy Education as an Effort to Build a Generation of Technology-Savvy and Independent Village Teenagers" aims to improve digital literacy among village teenagers. This activity was carried out in Beurandeh Village, Mesjid Raya District, Aceh Besar Regency, involving 40 teenagers as participants. The program uses a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which is divided into four phases: identification, needs determination, intervention, and evaluation. Each phase was designed to improve adolescents' understanding of digital literacy, including an understanding of digital safety, social media ethics, and productive and safe use of technology. The results showed a significant increase in adolescents' understanding and awareness of the importance of maintaining privacy and avoiding the spread of hoaxes, with an 85% increase in understanding. In addition, village officials also reported an increase in their ability to discuss digital literacy topics with teenagers, demonstrating the positive effects of the socialization. Although challenges such as lack of resources and limited parental understanding still exist, this activity is expected to have a long-term impact in building a generation of tech-savvy and independent teenagers, who are better prepared to face digital risks in the future.

Authors: Sutrisno Ellen R. , Kindangen Paulus , Sendow Greis M. , Jan Arrazi Bin Hasan
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This study investigates the influence of human capital, structural capital, and knowledge management on competitive advantage within the North Sulawesi Provincial Government, Indonesia. It aims to understand whether knowledge management mediates the relationship between human capital, structural capital, and competitive advantage in the context of public sector organizations.
 
Theoretical Reference: The research is grounded in the Knowledge-Based View (KBV) theory, which postulates that knowledge is a critical resource for competitive advantage. It also explores the role of intellectual capital (human and structural capital) as sources of knowledge and their interplay with knowledge management.
 
Method: A quantitative approach was utilized, involving 147 public officers from seven departments under the North Sulawesi Provincial Government. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 3.0 software.
 
Results and Conclusion: The findings indicate that:

Human capital positively impacts competitive advantage.
Structural capital does not directly influence competitive advantage but has a significant effect through the mediation of knowledge management.
Knowledge management positively affects competitive advantage and mediates the relationship between structural capital and competitive advantage. However, it does not mediate the relationship between human capital and competitive advantage.These results highlight the critical role of knowledge management in leveraging structural capital for competitive advantage in public sector organizations.

 
Implications of Research:

Theoretical Implications: The study contributes to the literature on intellectual capital and competitive advantage in public sector contexts, providing novel insights into the mediating role of knowledge management.
Practical Implications: Policymakers should focus on enhancing human capital, improving structural capital, and fostering effective knowledge management processes to boost the competitive advantage of public sector organizations.

 
Originality/Value: This research addresses a gap in understanding competitive advantage within Indonesian public institutions by examining intangible resources and knowledge management. It provides a unique perspective on public sector competitiveness, particularly in the context of regional government institutions in North Sulawesi.

Published: December 2024

Objective: This study uses remote sensing to map the urban expansion of Realeza-PR with the implementation of the Federal University of Fronteira Sul (UFFS) campus, and changes in land use and occupation.
 
Theoretical Framework: Currently, 54% of the world's population is urban, with a forecast of 68% by 2050. To mitigate the impacts of urbanization, urban planning is increasingly on the agenda. Universities are important drivers of the process of physical growth and economic and social development.
 
Method: Bibliographic sources and maps produced and processed in QGIS software were used to identify land use classes based on images from 2009, 2017 and 2024 from the RapidEye satellite.
 
Results and Discussion: Between 2010 and 2022, there was a population increase of 17.80% in the municipality. The images showed urban expansion directed towards the south of the city, where the UFFS was installed, with, between 2009 and 2017, a reduction of 1.74 km² in forest areas and 5.67 km² in soil areas, and an increase of 1.08 km² of asphalt areas, 0.72 km² of grass and 2.15 km² of buildings.
 
Research Implications: The study reveals the impact of the campus on the urban expansion of Realeza, highlighting the effectiveness of QGIS and satellite images for an accurate diagnosis of land use.
 
Originality/Value: This study evaluates the impact of implementing a higher education institution on the urban development of small and medium-sized municipalities, and in the Brazilian context no similar relevant works were found.
