A Study on A Novel Collision Risk Prediction Map for Maritime Traffic Surveillance Based on Ship Domain
Authors: Quang Nguyen Van , Nam Luong Tu , Luong Tran Van
Published: June 2024

Recently, a regional model for assessing the risk of multi-ship collision has been developed to reduce the risk of ship collision in territorial sea areas such as trade ports and entry waterways and improve the safety and efficiency of ship traffic. The focus is on marine traffic in the visualized waters with the risk of ship collision. However, due to the lack of information from experts with sufficient knowledge and experience in a given area, they also have some limitations in adequately and comprehensively representing the risk of collision, especially in busy waterways where encounters of more than two ships often appear. In addition, they could not visualize the location of the proximity collision and the exact risk value in real time. Therefore, to overcome the limitations of previous studies, this paper proposes a new regional collision risk visualization system, which combines density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) and analysis and knowledge-based ship domains and uses AIS data to intuitively and accurately map the dynamic collision risk of water areas at successive moments, predict areas where collisions can happen by dynamic risk index and warn the ships. Identifying high-risk collision areas between multi-ships can be enhanced using the developed system, which allows for reliable and accurate analysis to help implement safety measures.

Many historians, whether teaching in the schools or at the college level, moan when the ubiquitous popular culture begins to intrude into every aspect of our lives, including the classroom, making all of us somewhat unwilling participants in a version of reality television. Thus, there often is a natural reluctance by history teachers to grant space and time for popular culture in the classroom. On the other hand, popular culture is an essential aspect of the past as well as the present, ranging from Harriet Beecher's Stowe's Uncle Tom 's Cabin to MTV, the IPod, and the IPad. Bringing popular culture into the classroom should help teachers to gain the attention of some students seemingly obsessed with film, television, popular music, sport, and video games. But of greater significance is that the inclusion of popular culture should enrich student understanding and appreciation for the past. During the last quarter century, I often have incorporated popular culture into my eleventh-grade American history class and a senior history elective examining post-World War II America through the Hollywood narrative film. My experience with popular culture in these college preparatory classes has been a positive one and some of them could be incorporated on the college level as well as the schools. In fact, with increasing emphasis in the schools on teaching to the test, these observations might have more validity for teaching history at the college and university level.

For decades teachers across the United States have used games as instructional tools. Games provide many benefits to the learning experience. Well-structured gaming lessons increase student immersion into the content, create powerful visual memories of that content, and raise the "fun factor" for a given unit of study. For another benefit, games work with different types of student learners, blending auditory, visual, and kinesthetic (hands-on) opportunities for students to approach and master a subject. When teachers embed games into their classes, they can be useful teaching techniques at any academic level. This teaching note describes the use of a war game at the secondary level, but teachers also can use games with great effectiveness in college history classes.
Роль інформаційно-аналітичних підрозділів Збройних Сил України у відбитті збройної агресії РФ
Authors: Руснак Ю. , Стужук Ю.
Published: June 2024

Стаття є дослідженням сутності інформаційно-аналітичних підрозділів Збройних Сил України в умовах відбиття агресії РФ. Розглянуто роль та функціональне призначення інформаційно-аналітичних підрозділів в управлінні військами, зокрема їх значимість у зборі та аналізі інформації.
Інформаційно-аналітичне забезпечення – це процес створення оптимальних умов задля задоволення інформаційних потреб і реалізації посадових обов’язків командирами (начальниками) на основі формування та використання професійно та фахово орієнтованих інформаційних ресурсів. Метою ІАЗ є створення оптимальних сприятливих умов для прийняття командирами (начальниками) оптимальних, а в ідеалі – ефективних управлінських рішень згідно зі посадовими компетенціями.
Зміст поняття “інформаційно-аналітичне забезпечення” становлять дві взаємопов’язані складові:
- інформаційна: відносно самостійна діяльність спеціально підготовлених фахівців, зайнятих пошуком, відбором, обробленням, накопиченням, узагальненням і збереженням даних (перший етап інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення у системі управління);
- аналітична: виробництво спеціально підготовленими фахівцями на підставі наявних даних і складних розумових процесів нового знання щодо явища або події, що вивчається, досліджується тощо (другий етап інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення у системі управління).
Визначено, що основні вимоги до інформаційно-аналітичної діяльності підрозділів ЗС України полягають у оперативності, організованості, творчості та ініціативності, а також плановості виконання поставлених завдань.
Роїння дронів військового призначення: реалії та перспективи
Authors: Мосов С.
Published: June 2024

Досвід сучасних воєнних конфліктів і теперішньої війни в Україні свідчить про зростання ролі дронів та різноманітності їхніх зразків (повітряних, наземних, надводних) на полі бою різного функціонального призначення. Разом з цим має місце активне застосування не лише поодиноких БпЛА, а також значної їх кількості одночасно у групі. Найближча сучасна перспектива – перехід до роїв дронів. При цьому буде виникати низка організаційних, технічних, правових та етичних питань, пов’язаних із застосуванням рою дронів, особливо з урахуванням активного розвитку штучного інтелекту (ШІ) та його використання у сфері створення роботизованої зброї.
У статті на системній основі досліджено питання щодо створення та застосування рою дронів військового призначення. Показано, що відбувся перехід від поодиноких застосувань безпілотних літальних апаратів до групового та масового застосування, кульмінацією якого стає роїння дронів.
Незважаючи на позитивні результати експериментів щодо роїння БпЛА, результати можна вважати проміжними, бо на сьогодні не існує жодної ройової системи БпЛА та роїв інших видів дронів чи комбінованих, які прийняті на озброєння. Для подальшої реалізації концепцій “Рій дронів” потрібне вирішення низки питань, зазначених в статті.
Разом з тим, виявиться життєво важливим питання розробки технології боротьби з роєм дронів, оскільки країни працюватимуть над тим, як перемогти рій дронів, особливо за допомогою ШІ і машинного навчання. Більш розумні дрони створять особливі труднощі, якщо вони будуть атакувати десятками або навіть сотнями з різних напрямків і висот, одночасно з повітря, землі та води.
У якості подальших напрямків досліджень рекомендовано розробку алгоритмів ройового інтелекту та способів боротьби з роєм дронів (протидії рою дронів), а також вивчення етичних та юридичних аспектів застосування роїв дронів, особливо тих, що будуть оснащатися зброєю.

KECUAIAN DAN PENENTUAN LIABILITI DALAM KES KEMALANGAN JALAN RAYA MENURUT UNDANG- UNDANG ISLAM
Authors: Ismail Siti Zubaidah
Published: June 2024

This article elaborates the position of negligence as a factor in causing road accidents. The focus is on Islamic law and how the liability of parties is determined. The determination of liability depends on how the accident occurs. Whether it is within or beyond a driver's control, islamic law has the explanation for both. In the case of road accidents, negligence can be established if the duty of care is breached. Vehicle speed is something within the control of a driver. Failure to obey the speed limit amounts to a breach of duty on the road and is considered as negligence.

Published: June 2024

Wastewaters, as the major waste stream of the wine industry, are usually disposed in crude form due to the lack of sustainable treatments, which poses rising environmental threat. Considering biodegradability, nutrients content and other specific characteristics, winery wastewaters are suitable for utilization in xanthan production. In this study, the screening of local wild-type Xanthomonas euvesicatoria strains, isolated from pepper leaves, for xanthan production on medium containing wastewaters from rose wine industry, with initial sugar content of 25 g/L, was performed. Bioprocess success was estimated based on the quantity and quality of separated biopolymer. Additionally, composition of collected wastewaters was determined, and the obtained data indicate the importance of their proper management. The results of screening experiments suggest that applied X. euvesicatoria isolates have a statistically significant effect on xanthan concentration in cultivation medium, its molecular weight, as well as on apparent viscosity of xanthan aqueous solution. According to the obtained results, xanthan concentration varied from 4.0 g/L to 10.0 g/L, while the values of average molecular weight of xanthan and apparent viscosity of its solution ranged from 2.5 ∙ 105 g/mol to 8.5 ∙ 105 g/mol and from 40 mPa ∙ s to 60 mPa ∙ s, respectively. The results from this study suggest that X. euvesicatoria PL2 isolate showed the greatest potential for xanthan production on medium containing wastewaters from rose wine industry because of determined quantity of good-quality biopolymer. Further research is necessary in order to improve proposed bioprocess as sustainable biotechnological solution for winery wastewaters utilization.

Authors: Gürbüz Ali , Ustabaş İlker , Kurt Zafer , Deşik Fatih , Çakmak Talip
Published: June 2024

This research paper investigates the impact of wrapping thickness and type on reinforced bridge piers through a numerical study. The Incesu bridge, located in the Ardanuç district of Artvin province, was selected as the case study, as it was completed with low concrete strength. Initially, the bridge was examined, revealing that the piers were inadequate against dynamic, dead, pedestrian, and covering loads. The study concentrated on employing carbon fiber reinforced polymer to reinforce the bridge piers. Various models were wrapped with carbon fiber reinforced polymer in full-length, half-length, and one-meter intervals. In the analysis, it is assumed that the wraps are linked to each other in both principal directions and not detached from one another. Along with the analyses conducted, stress and strain values are presented separately. It was observed that the wrapping effect obtained in small-sized elements in literature could not be obtained in large-sized elements. As the concrete quality improves, the influence of wrapping thickness diminishes. Moreover, the effects of full-length and half-length wrapping are very close to each other, suggesting that half-length wrapping of bridge piers is sufficient. The authors believe that the obtained analysis results will prove beneficial in achieving economic advantages in retrofitting projects within the construction sector.

Calcium, carbonic anhydrase and gastric acid secretion.
Authors: Puscas I , Coltau M , Baican M , Domuta G , Hecht A
Published: June 2024

Previous data concerning the action of calcium (Ca) on gastric acid secretion (GAS) indicated that calcium ions increase GAS elicited by gastrin released through a vagal mechanism, and also by a direct effect on parietal cells. Our research showed that the stimulating effect of calcium on gastric acid secretion can be antagonized by verapamil administration, which reduces gastric acid secretion . In the present study we followed the effect induced by administration of calcium and Ca-chelating agents (disodium EDTA) on gastric acid secretion and on carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity. We selected two groups of healthy volunteers: Group I (n=21) received a single i.v. dose of CaCl2 (15 mg/kg b.w.), whereas Group II (n=22) received a single i.v. dose of disodium EDTA (5 mg/kg b.w.). We determined blood calcium before and after treatment, gastric acid secretion at 2 hours, erythrocyte CA II activity, and CA IV activity in membrane parietal cells, which were isolated from gastric mucosa obtained by endoscopic biopsy. Assessment of carbonic anhydrase activity was achieved by the stopped-flow method. In Group I calcium administration increased blood calcium, HCl output, CA II and CA IV activity as compared to initial values. In Group II, disodium EDTA reduced blood calcium, HCl output, CA II and CA IV activity as compared to initial values. The results demonstrated that increased blood calcium and GAS values after calcium administration correlated with the increase of erythrocyte CA II and parietal cell CA IV activity, while disodium EDTA induced a reversed process. Our results also show that cytosolic CA II and membrane CA IV values are sensitive to calcium changes and they directly depend on these levels. Our data suggest that intra- and extracellular pH changes induced by carbonic anhydrase might account for the modulation of the physiological and pathological secretory processes in the organism.
Correlation between the surface tension of blood and the activity of some enzymes
Authors: Kratochvíl A , Hrnčíř E
Published: June 2024

The aim of this study was to find the principal parameters of surface tension of the blood and verify its possible correlation with some of the commonly assessed laboratory indicators that are affected by diseases with the expected possible changes in the surface tension of the blood. The surface tension of the blood was assessed in 150 patients. At the same time, the basic biochemical and hematological parameters were determined in these patients. The results have shown a close correlation between the surface blood tension and the activity of plasma gamma-glutamyltransferase. We assume that this relationship is based on the changes in concentration of bile acids in the blood during liver or bile duct afflictions.
What is the source of free radicals causing hemolysis in stored blood ?
Authors: Racek J , Herynková R , Holeček V , Faltysová J , Krejčová I
Published: June 2024

The quality of stored blood can be deteriorated by hemolysis caused by free radicals. The purpose of this study was to elucidate whether neutrophile leukocytes are the source of free radicals in stored blood as in hemodialyzed patients. Resuspensions with low (LL) or high (HL) leukocyte concentrations were prepared from samples of twenty healthy volunteers. The samples were incubated for 10 days at 4 °C and then for one day at 37 °C. Markers of hemolysis and free radical metabolism were examined before and after incubation in LL and HL samples. In spite of the difference of leukocytes counts in LL and HL resuspensions (p<0.0001), the pre-incubation values of all laboratory parameters were practically identical. In post-storage samples, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities did not differ in either group. Reduced glutathione in erythrocytes and extracellular antioxidant capacity were insignificantly lower in HL resuspensions, but the increase of malondialdehyde was much more pronounced in the HL samples (p<0.0001). The degree of hemolysis, expressed as the extracellular increase of potassium (p<0.001), hemoglobin (p<0.05) and lactate dehydrogenase (p<0.05), was higher in the HL samples. Our results support the hypothesis that leukocytes participate in free radical production in stored blood.
Learning at 22 Hyde Park Gate
Authors: Daugherty Beth Rigel
Published: June 2024

Grounded in an analysis of the libraries owned by Leslie and Julia Stephen, this chapter examines the curricula, pedagogies, lessons, and communities taught and implied by Leslie Stephen’s library and Julia Stephen’s stories and tea table. Leslie’s humanities curriculum, dominated by eighteenth-century literature, included few women writers. He taught Virginia Stephen independent thinking and clear writing through walking, reading aloud, and asking open-ended questions about books, and he gave her access to a male literary community. Julia’s overt curriculum consisted of languages and history; she taught traditional gender roles in her fanciful stories and modelled them at her tea table; and she introduced her daughter to a women’s community devoted to family and charitable service.
Venturing beyond 22 Hyde Park Gate
Authors: Daugherty Beth Rigel
Published: June 2024

This chapter provides historical and cultural context for London libraries, the education provided for girls and women at the King’s College Department for Ladies, and Greek studies as it traces Virginia Stephen’s experiences in the London Library and British Museum Reading Room, her teachers and her courses in history, Greek, Latin, and German as a non-matriculated student at the college (Appendix 1 outlines her course schedule), and her Greek lessons with Janet Case, a tutor. Venturing beyond home widened and deepened Virginia Stephen’s curriculum; increased the pedagogies she was encountering; taught her lessons about inclusion and exclusion, the nature of schooling for women, and the mystery of languages; and put her in virtual or actual touch with communities of readers and writers, students, and political activists.
Essay-writing and Book-reviewing Skills
Authors: Daugherty Beth Rigel
Published: June 2024

Relying on representative samples of Virginia Stephen’s diary entries, archival reading notes for reviews, and reviews and essays, this chapter traces her development and practice of crucial writing skills: observing, taking notes, and revising. Stephen learns to describe, interpret, and find meaning in her diary literary exercises, and essays evolving from diary entries show her revising to go beyond scene making. Comparing some review reading notes with the resulting reviews reveals Virginia Stephen learning professional respect and the balance between sympathy and judgement Virginia Woolf later aims for. In addition, using archival research into newspapers, the online Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, and comparison of reviewers’ evaluations, this chapter discusses the skills Virginia Stephen develops as she reviews fifty-six pieces of popular fiction between 1905 and 1908. She gains independence, a stance and voice of her own, and the confidence to explore more complex literary questions. Reading and reviewing popular fiction gave her dual training, shaping both her non-fiction’s persona and her fiction’s aesthetic standards.
Censorship, Distribution, and Control
Authors: Sacco Daniel
Published: June 2024

A final chapter tracks the trajectory of classification practices during the global boom of the digital marketplace. It examines how these practices, while explicitly informing viewers as to the content of films, also provide economic incentives for individual filmmakers who self-censor, as well as for distributors who demand that products adhere to content regulations. The financial structure of a global digital market necessitates some degree of routine economic censorship, but this remains vastly preferable to previous modes of formal government censorship practice. Moreover, while changes in distribution platforms have rendered certain functions of regulatory film boards obsolete, voices of self-proclaimed moral authority continue interacting with these changes to shape standards of cinematic “acceptability” in new and significant ways.

It has been determined that the implementation of multi-sectoral support measures for families with children provides the necessary conditions to meet their basic needs; it has been proven that preferences in the field of labor and pensions for women with many children will provide them with conditions for them to fully combine work responsibilities with family responsibilities. It is concluded that the state’s family policy is focused on ensuring the protection and protection of traditional family values that determine the essence of family relationships and the prospects for their further development.
DIGITAL FRAUD: WHAT STUDENTS KNOW ABOUT IT (EXPERIENCE IN CONDUCTING A FOCUS GROUP INTERVIEW)
Authors:   Ogarev Mordovian State University, Saransk, Russian Federation, DADAEVA T.M. , BURKOVA S.A.
Published: June 2024

The article, based on statistical data and sociological research from a focus group interview conducted among students, updates the problem of cyber fraud. The dynamics of stolen funds of Russians over five years, the level of awareness of students about cyber fraud, the types and forms of fraud schemes that informants have encountered are shown. The most common forms of fraud are deception associated with the transfer of money for a purchase/service on the Internet with or without priority links, phishing sites and hacking of a page (account), with the subsequent demand for money for its return. This may be due to the fact that young people are active users of social media (social networks, instant messengers, games, marketplaces, etc.) and most often use online shopping. Next come less popular forms of cyber fraud, such as “raising” funds for SVO participants, the “anti-cafe” scheme, and telephone calls under the “relative in need” scheme. A number of signs to identify a fraudster (assertiveness, aggressiveness in response to the desire to check information, commanding tone, top secrecy during a call, etc.) have been identified. The reasons and factors (internal and external) contributing to the deception of a potential victim have been established (low awareness, lack of experience in dealing with digital fraud schemes, personal qualities (excessive gullibility, pliability, fear of public condemnation, greed), the use of external factors (SVO), social technologies engineering by attackers). In the context of simulated situations of cyber fraud, algorithms for the safe behavior of potential victims were identified, and students proposed measures to prevent digital fraud.

Published: June 2024

Research objective. The article examines the issues of regulating the management of social adaptation of cadets of higher military schools of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Young people entering higher military educational institutions (military universities) not only change the level of the educational institution, as higher military education requires significantly higher levels of autonomy, personal responsibility, and self-organization, along with motivation to study more complex and difficult professional areas of knowledge, but also the social environment. During their training in military universities, cadets pass through a stage of forming the main professional characteristics of social adaptation. It is during this period that the institutional development of the university’s activities to support students in socio-psychological support of the processes of their adaptation and regulation of its management in the university occurs. Such an institutional system should include, at least, three aspects of the development of the system for managing the social adaptation of a cadet and its regulation - goal setting, processes and structures. The article concludes on the expediency of solving the problem of institutional development of adaptation through the creation of a monitoring and regulation service for managing the social adaptation of cadets.
REDUCING POVERTY AMONG LARGE FAMILIES: DIRECTIONS OF RUSSIAN STATE POLICY
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russian Federation, BOCHANOV M.A.
Published: June 2024

Analysis of modern policies in the field of support for large families and its effectiveness is key to the development of further strategies and programs in order to ensure decent living conditions for these families and reduce poverty. Considering the importance of the family for social development and the demographic situation, the fight against poverty among large families is becoming a strategic priority of state policy. The purpose of the research work was to analyze modern Russian state policy to support large families. The study reflects a number of socio-economic aspects, such as the reproductive attitudes of young spouses, the demographic situation, updated support programs and social measures, assessment of the effectiveness and problems of existing support measures. The study revealed that existing measures to support large families in Russia, although implemented, still do not ensure the complete elimination of income inequality and poverty among these families. The low level of financial security remains the main problem hampering the life and development of large families. The main findings and recommendations of the study emphasized the need to improve social programs and support measures, and also proposed specific steps to improve the situation of large families in society. Further research and improvement of measures of social support for large families require an integrated approach and joint efforts of the state, public institutions and the active participation of the family itself. Important areas for improving the situation of large families are increasing income, access to education, employment support, housing and infrastructure development for families with children.

Authors:   Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russian Federation, VINOGRADOVA K.A.
Published: June 2024

Turkish Stream is a difficult-to-implement and large-scale engineering project in gas pipeline construction, which is located at a depth of more than 2,000 meters in the Black Sea. The creation of the project was conditioned by the possibilities of establishing new routes for gas export, strengthening of international relations between Russia and Turkey, energy security of Turkey and European countries, as well as consolidation of Russia’s status of energy leader. The article considers the peculiarities of international relations between Russia and Turkey, characterizes the Turkish Stream project, identifies the economic benefits of the countries from the construction of the Black Sea gas pipeline, defines the role of Turkish Stream in strengthening political cooperation, analyzes the risks associated with the construction of the Russian-Turkish gas pipeline, and develops the concept of international strategic interaction within the framework of Turkish Stream in modern conditions.
DEVELOPMENT OF A WEB APPLICATION FOR INTELLIGENT ANALYSIS OF CUSTOMER REVIEWS USING A MODIFIED SEQ2SEQ MODEL WITH AN ATTENTION MECHANISM
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russian Federation, BUDAEV E.S.
Published: June 2024

Machine learning, and neural networks in particular, are having a huge impact on business and marketing by providing convenient tools for analytics and customer feedback. The article proposes an intelligent analysis of customer feedback based on the use of a modified seq2seq deep learning model. Since the basic seq2seq model has a significant disadvantage - the inability to concentrate on the main parts of the input sequence, the results of machine learning may give an inadequate assessment of customer feedback. This disadvantage is eliminated by means of a model proposed in the work called the “attention mechanism”. The model formed the basis for the development of a web application that solves the problem of flexible interaction with customers by parsing new reviews, analyzing them and generating a response to a review using a neural network.

This article explores the prospects of synthesizing materials with a complex of specified properties using the pulsed tunneling effect (PTE) and concentrated solar radiation. The mechanisms of formation of metastable phases and the emergence of unique electrical and magnetic properties due to numerous structural distortions are described. The concept of using such materials as “artificial dopants” is proposed. Promising application areas are considered, ranging from the creation of extremely strong materials to the achievement of non-standard superconducting and magnetic effects.

Microfrontends represent a trend in the development of the visible part of a web application (frontend), which consists in breaking a monolithic application into separate, semantically independent blocks, developed independently of each other. Each component of a web page or application operates according to specially designed logic, and each of them can be developed, tested and deployed as a standalone application. The main goal of this approach is to facilitate the support and development of large applications that are worked on by different teams. Dividing large projects (“monoliths”) into smaller components has become a traditional approach to reducing the complexity of developing and maintaining software systems. The article examines the features of microfrontends, presents the results of an analysis of the performance of the most popular frameworks for creating microfrontends, and also identifies the features of the microfrontend development team.
RUSSIAN REVOLUTIONARIES AND RUSSIAN OLD BELIEVERS: FROM SYMPATHY TO REPRESSION. PART 1. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM. FIRST PERIOD
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Moscow, Russian Federation, KEROV V.V.
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this work is to clarify the reality or mythology of the position about the active participation of Old Believers in the anti-government movement in the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries. An analysis of sources showed that the Old Believers never took an anti-state position, showing only their loyalty to state power. During the period under review they rejected the revolutionaries' claims to cooperation. Only during the Civil War did the Old Believers side with one of the warring parties, which, in the absence of a single supreme power, cannot be assessed as anti-state activity. Soon after the Bolshevik victory, the Old Believers took an unambiguously favorable position towards the Soviet regime, despite the previous brutal repressions. At the same time, the Russian revolutionary intelligentsia during the second half of the 19th century retained illusions regarding the Old Believers and unsuccessfully tried to attract them to the fight against the samoderzhaviye. The democratic revolutionaries of the 60s turned to the clergy of the Old Believers, and the populist revolutionaries of the 70s also tried to work with the broad Old Believer masses, primarily peasants, to no avail.

The book is based on extensive archival and collection material. There was studied in detail the work of the Expedition for the Procurement of State Papers (EZGB) and the Goznak factories for the production of state paper banknotes in 1914-1922. There are the political events, as well as technical and economic difficulties that became the reasons for both the organization of several regional printing factories, and for the simultaneous production and release of several types of paper banknotes. The author paid much attention to the technical and technological support for the production of paper money at that time. This book is dedicated to the centennial anniversary of the publication of the first specialized scientific publication «Soviet Bonist» in 1923.

Purpose of the study. The article, using materials from archival sources and scientific literature, examines one of the most important components of the development of industrial business in Russia at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries, insurance. Conclusion. The purpose of the study is to identify insurance practices of industrial enterprises in the Middle Volga region within the specified chronological framework. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that under the conditions of accelerating the processes of early industrial modernization, the functioning of industrial business was associated with the need to fulfill a number of formal requirements. One of them was insurance of industrial enterprises, which was associated not only with increasing risks, but also with the need to implement financial and production projects for business development. In particular, the possibility of obtaining bank loans and participating in government contracts was associated with the need to insure industrial enterprises. Using the example of the Simbirsk province, we see that the practice of insurance is quite firmly integrated into the business organization system, allowing it to be financially stabilized and made more stable in terms of countering risks and threats.

Published: June 2024

Background: Recent advancements in deep learning have significantly impacted ophthalmology, especially in glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. In this study, we developed a reliable predictive model for glaucoma detection using deep learning models based on clinical data, social and behavior risk factor, and demographic data from 1652 participants, split evenly between 826 control subjects and 826 glaucoma patients. Methods: We extracted structural data from control and glaucoma patients’ electronic health records (EHR). Three distinct machine learning classifiers, the Random Forest and Gradient Boosting algorithms, as well as the Sequential model from the Keras library of TensorFlow, were employed to conduct predictive analyses across our dataset. Key performance metrics such as accuracy, F1 score, precision, recall, and the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) were computed to both train and optimize these models. Results: The Random Forest model achieved an accuracy of 67.5%, with a ROC AUC of 0.67, outperforming the Gradient Boosting and Sequential models, which registered accuracies of 66.3% and 64.5%, respectively. Our results highlighted key predictive factors such as intraocular pressure, family history, and body mass index, substantiating their roles in glaucoma risk assessment. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the potential of utilizing readily available clinical, lifestyle, and demographic data from EHRs for glaucoma detection through deep learning models. While our model, using EHR data alone, has a lower accuracy compared to those incorporating imaging data, it still offers a promising avenue for early glaucoma risk assessment in primary care settings. The observed disparities in model performance and feature significance show the importance of tailoring detection strategies to individual patient characteristics, potentially leading to more effective and personalized glaucoma screening and intervention.
