Topicality. In the conditions of ever-increasing technogenic pressure on the environment, the study of the influence of In the context of the growing anthropogenic load on the environment, studying the influence of abiotic factors on the translocation of heavy metals in the soil-plant system is of great practical importance for the agricultural sector. In the southeastern industrial region, the environmental safety of crop production largely depends on the heavy metal accumulation in plants and their translocation depends on both soil properties and climatic factors. Purpose. To investigate the effect of agroclimatic conditions in the eastern part of the Northern Steppe of Ukraine on the content of heavy metal mobile forms in soil and their translocation into spring barley grain. Materials and methods. Research was conducted in the field crop rotation of the Donetsk State Agricultural Research Station of NAAS on the Stepovyk variety in 2018–2022 with using field, laboratory, mathematical and statistical methods. Results. The highest increase in the acid-soluble zinc content was observed under increasing soil moisture. Under dry conditions in 2020, the acid-soluble zinc content was 45.3 mg/kg, while under excessive moisture conditions in 2022 it increased by
8.5 mg/kg or 18.8 %. The content of all studied heavy metals in spring barley grain did not exceed the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) with increasing soil moisture. The content of the studied heavy metals in spring barley grain under increasing soil moisture did not exceed the maximum permissible concentration (MPC). With increasing moisture availability, there was a tendency to increased copper content (by 8.2–9.9 %). The zinc accumulation in spring barley grain increased from 24.2 mg/kg to 28.9 mg/kg, or by 19.4 % in the excessively wet year of 2022 compared to the dry year of 2020. The cadmium content increased by 0.02 mg/kg, which is 40 %. Conclusions. Hydrometeorological conditions affect the content of heavy metals mobile forms in the soil and their translocation into spring barley grain, which necessitates the implementation of methods to reduce the environmental risks of heavy metal contamination of plant products under conditions of excessive wetting and real anthropogenic load.
Key words: spring barley, agroclimatic conditions, soil, grain, content of heavy metals

The research focuses attention on issues and leading aspects of ensuring the economic security of economic entities, but from the point of view of marketing management of the relevant processes. That is why the purpose of the study is to substantiate the marketing aspects in the system of ensuring the economic security of business. Marketing aspects in the system of managing economic security of business naturally relate to two areas: (1) challenges, risks and threats that develop in the marketing system of the business entity; (2) measures and means that have a marketing nature and the implementation of which is aimed at strengthening the economic security of the enterprise. The key challenges facing domestic enterprises and related to the mutual influence of the processes of marketing activity and ensuring the economic security of business arise and develop at the junction of the processes of quality marketing management and the rational implementation of the leading functions of business management in general: planning, organization, analysis , motivation and control. The use of the potential of marketing in ensuring the processes of strengthening the economic security of business lies in the actions organized within the basic components of the marketing mix. Such circumstances increasingly actualize the problem of substantiating theoretical and methodological provisions and applied recommendations regarding the development and application of more progressive mechanisms and tools of marketing policy in order to strengthen not only the competitive, but also the security positions of domestic business entities. Among them, taking into account the current trends of global digitalization, the formation and development of Internet marketing systems of enterprises takes almost the leading position in importance. The tasks of the policy of strengthening the economic security of the business according to the leading components of the marketing mix are defined, namely: product - guaranteeing a high level of the marketing component of the economic security of the enterprise; prevention of trends in lowering the level of its competitiveness; guarantee of consistently high product quality; prevention of complaints; introduction of product innovations; anticipating the appearance on the market of new innovative products, changes in intellectual property; market - preventing market trends from overtaking business sustainability; constant adaptation to changing market conditions; active work on the formation of new markets; price - prevention of increase in the level of consumption; implementation of pricing exclusively on the basis of pricing strategies; prevention of miscalculations in pricing; sales promotion – prevention of miscalculations in advertising campaigns, budgeting of advertising expenses and sales promotion; application of digital methods of competition and dissemination of information about products; forming the foundations of cyber security.
Interaction Minimalism: Minimizing HRI to Reduce Emotional Dependency on Robots
Authors: Contro Jack , Brandão Martim
Published: February 2025

In this paper we show that with the increasing integration of social robots into daily life, concerns arise regarding their impact on the potential for creating emotional dependency. Using findings from the literature in Human-Robot Interaction, Human-Computer Interaction, Internet studies and Political Economics, we argue that current design and governance paradigms incentivize the creation of emotionally dependent relationships between humans and robots. To counteract this, we introduce Interaction Minimalism, a design philosophy that aims to minimize unnecessary interactions between humans and robots, and instead promote human-human relationships, hereby mitigating the risk of emotional dependency. By focusing on functionality without fostering dependency, this approach encourages autonomy, enhances human-human interactions, and advocates for minimal data extraction. Through hypothetical design examples, we demonstrate the viability of Interaction Minimalism in promoting healthier human-robot relationships. Our discussion extends to the implications of this design philosophy for future robot development, emphasizing the need for a shift towards more ethical practices that prioritize human well-being and privacy.
Robots at Arm’s Length: Unveiling the Dynamics of Interpersonal Distance Preferences in Human-Robot Interactions
Authors: Kühne Katharina , Zimmer Laura Michelle , Jeglinski-Mende Melinda A. , Bendel Oliver , Zhou Yuefang , Fischer Martin H.
Published: February 2025

In social interactions, interpersonal distance influences relationships, provides protection, and regulates arousal. Despite the intuitive nature of adopting specific distances, little is known about comfortable interpersonal distances with social robots. Here, 66 participants saw individuals standing face-to-face with a robot at different distances and pressed a button when seeing a woman or a man (in different blocks). In line with the negativity bias hypothesis, suggesting quicker reaction times to negative stimuli, participants showed a preference for increased distances, resulting in longer reaction times. Human-likeness of robots moderated the link between distance and arousal. The most human-like robot was less liked and evoked higher arousal. These findings have implications for designing social robots and optimizing interactions, particularly in educational or medical contexts.
Robots in Restaurants and Emotional Labour: A View from the Pepper Parlor
Authors: Chesher Chris , Humphry Justine
Published: February 2025

This article explores the roles of human and non-human emotional labour in restaurant environments, with a specific focus on Softbank’s Pepper Parlor concept café in Tokyo. Adopting a ficto-critical method by imagining the lived experience of robots based on our observations of their design and behaviour, we analyse the significance of emotion in the performance of social roles in the service contexts of the café. This study draws on observations of various robots, including Pepper, Servi, AIBO, RoBoHon and BellaBot to examine how robots are designed to perform emotional labour to affect customer experiences. We contrast this with published ethnographic accounts of human service workers experiences in restaurants. The article situates its analysis within the broader discourse on service work, addressing philosophical questions surrounding robotic sociability and emotional engagement and socio-economic and social issues about robots potentially displacing human jobs. By integrating phenomenological robot hermeneutics with attention to contemporary advancements in AI and robotics, this paper contributes to the understanding of the role of emotion in the robotisation of hospitality and other service industries.
Dehumanization: An Updated Philosophical Account in the Human-Machine Context
Authors: Battaglia Fiorella
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the concept and practice of dehumanization, as well as potential new developments and implications for this concept that arise with the increasing use of machines, or more broadly, autonomous systems in our life. In recent times, philosophy has shifted its focus towards investigating wrongdoings, particularly the occurrence of dehumanization, rather than pursuing ideal theory. Dehumanization refers to the perception of others as less than fully human by denying them certain uniquely human characteristics or their human essence. Previous analyses of dehumanization have focused on events involving multiple human individuals, such as genocides, civil wars, and violence against certain ethnic, racial groups or women. However, it is still necessary to address new profiles of dehumanizing behaviors in the specific human-machine relationship.
On Robots with Reasoning Capabilities and Human-Like Appearance and Behaviour: Implications for Accident Investigations
Authors: Salvini Pericle , Pattinson Jo-Ann , Kunze Lars , Winfield Alan , Jirotka Marina
Published: February 2025

AI-enhanced reasoning enables robots to create detailed accounts of their own situated behaviour as well as the behaviour of other people. This capability is currently employed by robot designers to achieve transparency, trust, and enhance robot social and communicative capabilities. Furthermore, robots may be designed to resemble humans both in their physical appearance and their behaviour. This approach is intended to facilitate more effective interactions with people. In this article we identify and examine some of the ethical, social and legal implications of these capabilities for the investigation of robot accidents. We consider two aspects in particular. The first of these is the role of robots as subjects in a testimony regarding an incident in which they are directly or indirectly involved. This can be described as a case of robots acting as witnesses. The second aspect is the role of robots as objects in a human testimony. This can be described as a case of robots being witnessed.
Beyond Value-Based Design: For a More Comprehensive and Supportive System of Ethical Robot Development
Authors: Malbois Elodie
Published: February 2025

Concern with the potential harmful effects of the implementation of multimodal AI in robots and of AI in general is rising. There is more and more recognition that roboticists should not be left alone with the development of ethical technologies and that they need the support of experts from other disciplines. Interdisciplinary design methods are developed to make sure that the new technologies serve and are respectful of their target users. This paper argues that while methods like value-based design are indeed essential, there are challenges with their application. Risks connected to the unintended use of the technology are likely to be overlooked and some risk mitigation strategies might not be accessible to robot designers. Lastly, the current system does not offer enough support or incentives to engage in a time-consuming although ethical process. However, there are measures that can be introduced to overcome those challenges and make progress towards responsible technology development.
YouAI: Train, Adapt, Perform

Published: February 2025

Many popular definitions of social robotics and AI featured in the public sphere fail to highlight aspects of control. Among today’s many ways of controlling social robots, AI is discussed as the most appealing option. But AI further distracts from issues of control, as it seemingly allows for claims of autonomy. The dance-and-word performance youAI by H.A.U.S.[1] is a critique of AI claims by means of arts-based research, artistic AI development, and embodiments.
Getting Comfortable with Robots Artificial Phronesis, Inner Speech, and Sociomorphing
Authors: Zebrowski Robin , Chella Antonio , McGraw Eli , Sullins John , Vallor Shannon
Published: February 2025

This panel, consisting of John Sullins, Robin Zebrowski, Antonio Chella, Eli McGraw, and Shannon Vallor will engage in questions around the role of sociomorphing and artificial phronesis in interpreting human-robot interactions, the ways that access to a robot’s inner speech allows for more ethical interactions and more accurate understanding of those interactions, and the role that these considerations have in XAI, ethical AI, and embodied social cognition in particular. We will also use this case study to discuss the OASIS framework offered by Seibt et al. in which sociomorphing is embedded, in order to see how the ethical stance of artificial phronesis invites more nuance into the social interaction, moving beyond mere simulation into enaction.

Authors: Herbener Arthur Bran , Szondy Mate , Damholdt Malene Flensborg
Published: February 2025

Recent trends indicate a rising prevalence of mental health issues globally which has catalyzed the growth of technology-delivered interventions, including internet-delivered psychotherapies and AI-driven conversational agents. While these interventions offer accessible solutions, they often lack the personalized, flexible approach of direct patient-therapist interactions, potentially affecting treatment adherence. This panel explores the potential of AI-enabled robots in psychotherapy from four perspectives: i) the feasibility of establishing a therapeutic alliance, ii) integration into stepped and blended care, iii) their use in training psychotherapists, and iv) the attitude of mental health professionals toward such system.

Authors: Larghi Silvia , Datteri Edoardo , Zanotti Giacomo , Facchin Marco , Alfieri Ilaria , Raffa Maria , Bacaro Martina
Published: February 2025

The panel investigates the attribution of mental states and cognition to robots from a philosophical perspective, taking into account epistemological, ethical and technological (design) dimensions. These interconnected dimensions are explored through four talks. The first talk lays the groundwork by analyzing the different styles people may adopt to model the mind of robots. On these grounds, the second talk focuses on the role that emotion attribution to robots has in shaping our interactions with social robots. The third talk deals with robots’ decision-making capabilities in the context of social assistive robotics, with an eye to ethical implications. The fourth talk closes the panel, investigating how an enactive conception of intentionality impacts both our understanding of human-robot interaction and the design of robotic interfaces and architectures.

By examining these technologies’ adaptability and role in human-machine interaction, especially in workplaces, the workshop intends to contribute to discussions on technological advances and their societal implications.
Pragmatism and Robot Rights: A Practical Exploration
Authors: Edwards Autumn
Published: February 2025

This paper applies American pragmatism to the debate on robot rights, providing a practical framework for addressing ethical and legal questions. Unlike traditional metaphysical debates, the pragmatist approach—rooted in the philosophies of William James and John Dewey—focuses on the real-world consequences of granting robots moral and legal rights. Pragmatism emphasizes outcomes as a way to resolve key dilemmas, including ethical agency, accountability, and the integration of robots into legal systems. Central to this is meliorism, which proposes that ethical progress occurs through mindful decision-making. Pragmatism offers an adaptive framework suited to the complexities of human-robot interactions; continuously reconstructing ethical systems based on practical outcomes. Integrating feminist pragmatism emphasizes inclusivity, advocating for ethical systems that account for both human and non-human entities. By focusing on practical consequences and inclusivity, pragmatism ensures that ethical frameworks remain responsive to the evolving nature of human-robot relationships.

Person, Thing, Robot: A Moral and Legal Ontology for the 21st Century and Beyond
Authors: Gunkel David J.
Published: February 2025

Robots are a curious sort of thing. On the one hand, they are designed and manufactured technological artifacts. They are things. Yet, and on the other hand, these things are not quite like other things. They seem to have social presence. They are able to talk and interact with us. And many are designed to mimic or simulate the capabilities and behaviors that are commonly associated with human or non-human animal intelligence. Robots, therefore, invite and encourage zoomorphism, anthropomorphism, and even personification. This paper sets out to answer the vexing question: What exactly is a robot? Rather than try to fit robots into the existing moral and legal categories by way of arguing for either their reification or personification, however, the paper will argue for a revolutionary reformulation of the entire system, developing a new approach to technology law and ethics that can scale to the unique opportunities and challenges of the twenty-first century and beyond.

THE DETERMINATION OF THE BASELINE COORDINATE SYSTEM OF AN AIRCRAFT DURING THE INVESTIGATION OF ITS ACTUAL GEOMETRIC PARAMETERS
Authors: Nezenko Andriy , Kozlov Sergiy
Published: February 2025

This publication addresses the issue of establishing the baseline coordinate system of an aircraft as one of the important tasks encountered during the investigation of its actual geometric parameters using modern measurement tools in the process of production and operation. The significance of this matter is underscored by the fact that the accuracy and correctness of calculations of its actual geometric parameters depend on the correctness of selecting the algorithm for determining the baseline coordinate system of the product. The article highlights the main criteria that need to be taken into account when determining the baseline coordinate system of an aircraft and proposes methods for the practical implementation of algorithms for its setting using examples of several types of aircraft. Research on changes in the actual geometric parameters of an aircraft is an important component of ensuring proper aircraft quality during its production and maintenance of airworthiness in operation. Such researches require correctness and high precision in determining the actual geometric parameters since the credibility of the comprehensive assessment of the actual condition of the product and, accordingly, the effectiveness of decisions regarding the quality of assembly work and the possibility of further operation depend on it. In the design of an aircraft, the coordinate system is defined at the initial stage of creating the theoretical model of the product and serves as the basis for determining its geometric and constructive appearance. When investigating the geometric parameters of a finished product, it is necessary to solve the inverse problem – to determine the coordinate system of the product based on its geometric features and structural elements.
The widespread use of non-standard aircraft glider schemes requires an individual approach to developing methods for plotting baseline coordinate systems for each specific type of product. Therefore, this issue necessitates further research and the development of new methods and approaches
OPTIMIZATION OF PARAMETERS OF SOLAR COLLECTORS CONCENTRATORS FOR GREEN BUILDINGS
Authors: Polyak Yu. , Martyniuk O. , Martynov V.
Published: February 2025

The use of solar collectors with solar concentrators in green buildings is an important step in the direction of creating energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings. These technologies make it possible to provide a sustainable source of energy, reduce emissions and save resources. Considering the positive aspects of using solar collectors, their implementation in construction can become an important step in the development of sustainable construction and environmental protection.
The use of solar collectors with concentrators can significantly reduce the consumption of electricity and other energy sources, which is an important aspect for green buildings. These collectors are able to efficiently collect solar energy and concentrate it for further use in various heating, cooling and power generation systems.
Increasing the energy efficiency of green buildings is possible due to the use of solar systems with optimal orientation parameters that use renewable, environmentally friendly solar energy for the energy supply of buildings.
An analytical method has been developed to determine the optimal parameters - the angle of inclination of the solar collector reflector to obtain the maximum amount of converted solar energy, taking into account the number of glass layers, their transparency and absorption coefficient depending on the angle of incidence of reflected solar rays, shading by the collector frame, etc. Calculations were made and optimal angles of the reflector were determined for single-layer and double-layer glazing of the collector.
The proposed method can be used in the design of green buildings that use solar energy for energy supply.
GEOMETRIC MODELING OF SMOOTH CONNECTING OF FRAGMENTAL DISCRETELY REPRESENTED SURFACES
Authors: Posikera Andrii , Skochko Volodymyr , Shirokov Andrii , Spiridonov Vadim
Published: February 2025

The paper considers the concept of one of the approaches to modeling the smooth connection of the edges of architectural shells, presented in the form of discrete images. This approach is based on the geometric formation of local connecting discretely presented surfaces, which in shape imitate the nature of deformation of flexible elastic thin-walled shells. The process of modeling their shape involves the systemic determination of the coordinates of the nodes of connecting discretely presented surfaces, based on the solution of the equilibrium equations of the static-geometric method of applied geometry. At the same time, it is necessary to apply the tools of the theory of parameterization to form discrete analogs of approximation difference operators (equations) and corresponding computational templates for grid nodes of discrete images, which must be used to smoothly connect the edges of given fragments of architectural shells. The construction of the above-mentioned approximation operators occurs by connecting the coordinates of adjacent nodes based on the exclusion of the components of the vectors of the external form-forming load from the equations of their equilibrium. In this way, new equilibrium equations are formed, which actually determine the position of all nodes and the shape of the desired fragments of a smooth connection of architectural shells. The simplicity, clarity, and universality of this approach allows us to easily generalize its application to not only regular, but also irregular grids of discrete images.
SOME ASPECTS OF THE APPLICATION OF GEOMETRIC MODELS FOR DESIGNING OF DOMES OF ORTHODOX TEMPLES
Authors: Virchenko Gennadii , Tereschuk Mykola
Published: February 2025

Ukraine is currently going through difficult times in its historical development, which are caused by military actions on its territory. This is associated with large losses of people, their health, and many material damages. Residential, industrial and social buildings, other structures and infrastructure are significantly destroyed in the specified circumstances. This fully applies to Orthodox Christian temples. People of Ukraine confidently believe in the coming of better peaceful days, despite such existing problems. Then everything that was destroyed will be restored, a new, even better one will be built. Therefore, the successful and effective solution of these problems is an important perspective task for our society.
The points emphasized above determine the need to carry out proper applied scientific research in various fields of life, in particular, architecture and construction. An essential aspect in these areas during the processing of many objects is high-quality shaping. With respect to Orthodox temples, it means not only the observance of existing religious canons, but also the provision of appropriate high technical and economic (structural, technological, operational) and other indicators.
Domes in Christian architecture have great sacred significance. Holy buildings are crowned with them, with crosses on top. Each temple should have a bright individuality. This is largely achieved thanks to the variety of shapes and sizes of domes. Therefore, considerable attention is paid to their variant geometric modeling, which is currently usually carried out by computer means, in the process of automated design. The purpose of this publication is to highlight the proposed mathematical apparatus for determining the development of the surfaces of faceted domes and their areas. This, for example, contributes to increase the accuracy of strength calculations, test the design for manufacturability, calculate economic indicators, etc.
The article also discusses some directions for further development of the analyzed scientific research topics. In conclusion, it is worth noting that the pleasant aesthetic appearance of Orthodox temples, including their domes, contributes to the spiritual elevation of parishioners, sets people up properly for holding services.
THE SUPERPOSITION COEFFICIENTS OF THE COORDINATES OF FOUR POINTS’ DETERMINATION ON THE TWO VARIABLES POLYNOMIALS EXAMPLE
Authors: Vorontsov Oleg , Vorontsova Irina
Published: February 2025

The article suggests a general approach to determining the values of superposition coefficients of two-dimensional point sets based on given calculation schemes, which allows solving the problems of continuous discrete interpolation and extrapolation by numerical sequences of any two-dimensional functional dependencies at four randomly specified nodal points.
One of the tasks of this work were the continuation of research on the modeling of discrete geometric images (GI) based on the classical method of finite differences, the static-geometric method and the geometric apparatus of superposition.
The one-dimensional GI model (a curved line presented discretely or continuously) is much easier to comprehensively study than the two-dimensional GI model (a surface presented discretely or continuously). It should be expected that a number of properties that a discrete line model has can be transferred to a surface model formed according to the same laws, if this line is considered to be a component of the surface framework. Other properties of the discrete surface model can be obtained as a result of generalization of the corresponding properties of the line model.
Consequently, this work is based on the authors' previous research on determining the regularities of changes in the values of the superposition coefficients of the three nodal points of the polynomial function for the selected calculation scheme.
The process of construction of discrete analogues of two-dimensional GI was studied using the example of polynomial functional dependencies and based on the given calculation schemes.
In the procedure of research, the regularities of changes in the values of the superposition coefficients of the four nodal points of the polynomial function of two variables were determined in the form of graphs of numerical sequences for the selected calculation scheme.
The follow-on regularities make it possible to form two-dimensional geometric images in the form of polynomials of two variables on the selected calculation scheme based on the coordinates of the four nodal points.
The investigated data determine a general approach to obtaining similar regularities of changes in the values of the superposition coefficients of the four nodal points of the selected calculation scheme for determining applications of n points of modeled any two-dimensional functional dependencies and arbitrary two-dimensional sets of points.
STUDY OF THE GEOMETRIC STRUCTURE OF THE PHASE FLOWS OF THE RESSLER SYSTEM
Authors: Hnitetska Tetjana , Hnitetska Galyna , Rusetskyi Maksym , Shulha Anna
Published: February 2025

The article examines the geometric structure of the phase flows of the Ressler dynamic system, the mathematical model of which is represented by a system of nonlinear differential equations. At certain values of the control parameters, the Ressler system exhibits chaotic behavior. The article analyzes the influence of system equilibrium points on the process of transition to a chaotic attractor and investigates the formation of its geometric structure. The research was conducted using the Lyapunov stability theory for the equilibrium points of the system. In the process of research, the equilibrium points of the system were found and their stability analysis was carried out. The use of the linearization method at the determined equilibrium points of the system made it possible to make a qualitative assessment of the system's behavior. The directions of compression and expansion of the volumes of the phase space around each of the obtained equilibrium points were analyzed, which made it possible to determine the prerequisites of the process of transition to a chaotic attractor and to single out the areas of initial conditions under which the phase trajectories are directed to the chaotic attractor or depart from it. The formation of the geometric structure of the attractor is considered as a result of the combined interaction of deformations of the phase volume caused by the equilibrium points of the system. Since no analytical solution was found during the research of the Ressler system, numerical integration methods were used. Mathematical calculations were performed using the MATLAB package for engineering and scientific calculations. As a result of a series of integrations, phase portraits of the Ressler system were constructed in three-dimensional phase space for various initial conditions. Thus, transient processes in the system were visualized, which made it possible to determine the characteristic areas of the initial conditions and optimize their selection.
The conducted research is a continuation of the work [1] and is aimed at a wider use of the properties of deterministic chaos in applied problems.
OPTIMIZATION OF THE RECEIVING BUNKER OPERATION DURING THE BLOCKING OF BULK MATERIALS
Authors: Korobko Bogdan , Levchenko Oleksandr
Published: February 2025

The article discusses an urgent problem that significantly affects the efficiency of concrete mixing enterpris-es - the formation of vaults in receiving bunkers. This phenomenon leads to unpredictable shutdowns of the production process, reduced equipment productivity and increased maintenance costs. The analysis of mod-ern methods of dealing with the vault showed their limited effectiveness. Vibration and pneumatic systems, which are widely used today, are not always able to completely eliminate the problem, especially when changing the properties of bulk materials or the geometric parameters of hoppers. In order to increase the reliability and performance of concrete mixing plants, a new approach has been proposed, which involves the use of a special ripper. This device is equipped with mechanical elements that allow you to effectively de-stroy the vault in the area of the hopper outlet, ensuring a continuous flow of material. The introduction of a special ripper at concrete mixing plants will improve the quality of finished products, reduce the cost of pro-duction and ensure the stable operation of the enterprise. The results obtained can be used to optimize the design of receiving bins and develop new technologies for processing bulk materials.

Authors: Nesterenko Mykola
Published: February 2025

The article examines a methodology for accounting for environmental resistance forces in the calculation scheme of vibratory systems widely used in the construction industry for concrete mixture compaction. Mathematical dependencies have been developed to determine the reactive and active resistance of the environment, enabling the assessment of continuum motion while preserving wave processes. The obtained results simplify calculations by eliminating the need for explicit determination of harmonic conditions and can be applied to optimize the parameters of vibratory equipment working elements. The practical significance of the research lies in improving equipment efficiency and ensuring a more accurate correspondence between theoretical models and real conditions. The conducted experiments confirmed the accuracy of the obtained dependencies, with deviations from experimental data not exceeding 15%.

The parameters and characteristics of failures of road equipment for road construction are investi-gated. Attention is paid to the main types of distribution of equipment operation time to failure on the basis of exponential, Weibull, gamma, normal and logarithmically normal. Thus, the logarithmic normal distribution is used when the development of the process leading to failure can be represent-ed as the product of successive independent random variables (for example, crack growth). that the uptime and useful life of the technique depend on a large number of factors, some of which are be-yond control and others are established with a certain degree of uncertainty. The systems of machine maintenance and the laws of distribution of operating time for failure and the duration of failure elimination are considered. The influence of parameters on ensuring the effective use of equipment in the formation of a construction project is determined.

Deterioration of the ecological condition of the surface waters of the land is due to the qualitative and quanti-tative depletion of the factors of their formation, which in some cases makes their use for economic purpos-es impossible. The intensity of pollution of individual components of the biosphere depends on the migration of pollutants, their transformation, destruction and accumulation. All obtained research results allow us to affirm the main provisions of the mechanism of biotic self-regulation of the water basin. Conceptually, this approach is an integrative trend of preserving the stability of the development of hydroecosystems due to the restoration of the ecological and functional inseparability of the unity of the water ecosystem as a mutually conditioned necessity for its further development. It is the environment-forming role of biota under the condi-tions of interrelationships of environmental and specific modifying factors with consistent adaptation.

Today, the situation with spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is still complicated due to the lack of safe technologies for its cost-effective and environmentally friendly reprocessing and safe final disposal. Spent nuclear fuel is not waste in the classical definition and understanding. In this paper, spent nuclear fuel is defined as a valuable secondary energy raw material. The paper concludes that further, socially acceptable and guaranteed safe development of the global nuclear power industry is possible only under the condition of absolute priority of nuclear and environmental safety of the entire nuclear fuel cycle (NFC). In this regard, a new technology of the G5 generation based on frontal neutron-combustion nuclear power reactors is proposed to solve complex environmental problems associated with spent nuclear fuel.

Advances in computational and experimental methods have revealed the existence of transient, non-native protein folding intermediates that could play roles in disparate biological processes, from regulation of protein expression to disease-relevant misfolding mechanisms. Here, we tested the possibility that specific post-translational modifications may involve residues exposed during the folding process by assessing the solvent accessibility of 87,138 post-translationally modified amino acids in the human proteome. Unexpectedly, we found that one-third of phosphorylated proteins present at least one phosphosite completely buried within the protein’s inner core. Computational and experimental analyses suggest that these cryptic phosphosites may become exposed during the folding process, where their modification could destabilize native structures and trigger protein degradation. Phylogenetic investigation also reveals that cryptic phosphosites are more conserved than surface-exposed phosphorylated residues. Finally, cross-referencing with cancer mutation databases suggests that phosphomimetic mutations in cryptic phosphosites can increase tumor fitness by inactivating specific onco-suppressors. These findings define a novel role for co-translational phosphorylation in shaping protein folding and expression, laying the groundwork for exploring the implications of cryptic phosphosites in health and disease.

The integration of artificial intelligence in modern data platforms has fundamentally transformed how organizations interact with their data assets. This transformation encompasses several key innovations: natural language interfaces that enable direct SQL query generation, AI-powered business catalogs that automate metadata management, and conversational analytics systems that facilitate intuitive data exploration. These advancements have democratized data access across organizational hierarchies, reducing dependency on specialized technical teams while enhancing operational efficiency. The evolution from traditional rule-based systems to sophisticated neural network architectures has enabled more accurate query processing, improved schema mapping, and context-aware interactions. Additionally, the implementation of active metadata management and automated governance frameworks has strengthened data quality and compliance measures. As these technologies continue to mature, organizations face both opportunities and challenges in scaling their AI implementations while maintaining security, privacy, and model explainability.
ЕЙДЖИЗМ У ТРУДОВИХ ПРАВОВІДНОСИНАХ: ПРОБЛЕМНІ АСПЕКТИ

Стаття присвячена дослідженню проблемних аспектів, що пов’язані з дискримінацією у сфері трудових відносин і потребують нових підходів для їх вирішення. Проведено аналіз норм міжнародного та національного законодавства в контексті визначеної проблематики дослідження. Окреслено організаційно-правові засади запобігання та протидії дискримінації за віком з метою забезпечення рівних можливостей кожного щодо реалізації права на працю. Виокремлено певні форми, що характеризують ейджизм в сучасному суспільстві як для молодих фахівців при пошуку роботи, так і для досвідчених фахівців, такі як: упередження ставлення до особи певного віку; стереотипні уявлення про фаховість і продуктивність осіб певного віку; обмежене сприйняття молоді в різних державних інституціях та інші. Доведено, що в трудових правовідносинах ейджизм може проявлятися в різних формах з урахуванням гендерного аспекту. Пріоритезація гендеру на всіх рівнях та комплексний підхід до подолання дискримінації у сфері праці є важливими завдання як на міжнародному, так і національному рівні. Цей феномен є одним із негативних соціальних чинників, з яким зустрічаються потенційні працівники при працевлаштуванні, що залежить від соціальних та економічних аспектів розвитку ринку праці в країні. Упереджене ставлення до віку не має дискримінувати працівника, оскільки вік має фокусувати увагу на досвід роботи в певній сфері. Окрему увагу приділено концепції слеш-кар’єри, яка спрямована на те, щоб фахівець успішно поєднував кілька професій або видів діяльності з урахуванням його освіти та професійних навичок, що дозволить постійно поглиблювати теоретичний та практичний досвід і уникнути труднощів при пошуку нової вакансії у разі звільнення з основного місця роботи та швидко адаптуватися до змін у професійній сфері без жодних дискримінаційних утисків. Зокрема, акцентовано увагу на окремих питаннях вікової дискримінації для певних категорій працівників, проаналізовано практику ЄСПЛ щодо встановленого граничного віку перебування на посаді. За результатами дослідження сформульовано висновки та пропозиції посилити тристоронню співпрацю та розробити за підтримки Уряду цільові програми щодо заохочення роботодавців у працевлаштуванні молоді та осіб старших вікових груп і регіональні програми зайнятості з урахуванням попиту та пропозиції на період воєнного стану, що сприятиме економічному відновленню держави.
