Authors: Bocu Razvan , Vasilescu Anca , Duca Iliescu Delia Monica
Published: July 2022

The integrated collection of personal health data represents a relevant research topic, which is enhanced further by the development of next-generation mobile networks that can be used in order to transport the acquired medical data. The gathering of personal health data has become recently feasible using relevant wearable personal devices. Nevertheless, these devices do not possess sufficient computational power, and do not offer proper local data storage capabilities. This paper presents an integrated personal health metrics data management system, which considers a virtualized symmetric 5G data transportation system. The personal health data are acquired using a client application component, which is normally deployed on the user’s mobile device, regardless it is a smartphone, smartwatch, or another kind of personal mobile device. The collected data are securely transported to the cloud data processing components, using a virtualized 5G infrastructure and homomorphically encrypted data packages. The system has been comprehensively assessed through the consideration of a real-world use case, which is presented.
Insight into the Balancing Effect of a Digital Green Innovation (DGI) Network to Improve the Performance of DGI for Industry 5.0: Roles of Digital Empowerment and Green Organization Flexibility
Authors: Hu Chengli , Yang Hongtao , Yin Shi
Published: July 2022

Under the background of double carbon target and digital intelligence era, the innovation resources and innovation environment that manufacturing enterprises rely on have shown exponential growth. Digital green innovation (DGI) has gradually become the mainstream paradigm of innovation. How to achieve a balance between a local DGI network (LDGIN) and a remote DGI network (RDGIN) and how to use the role of digital empowerment and green organization flexibility to improve the performance of DGI are very important issues facing manufacturing enterprises at present. However, this problem has not been fully addressed in the existing research. In this study, the influence mechanism of LDGIN and RDGIN on the DGI performance of manufacturing enterprises was revealed, considering the moderating role of digital empowerment and green organization flexibility. The linear regression method was used to analyze the 562 valid data obtained by questionnaire survey. The results of this study are as follows. The effect of the DGI network on manufacturing enterprises’ DGI performance is heterogeneous because of LDGIN and RDGIN. The establishment of embedded links in a DGI network inevitably requires manufacturing enterprises to pay the corresponding costs. The over-embedding of manufacturing enterprises into RDGIN will have a negative impact on DGI performance. The balance between LDGIN and RDGIN has an important impact on manufacturing enterprises’ operation. The comprehensive balance and relative balance indexes constructed in this paper show that an appropriate balance can promote the improvement of the DGI performance of manufacturing enterprises. Digital transformation and organizational structure innovation are changing the business model of manufacturing enterprises and can regulate the relationship between the LDGIN and RDGIN and the DGI performance of manufacturing enterprises. The balance of DGI network embedding in practice shows the important role and enlightening significance of local and remote search in developing countries.
Distribution Path Optimization by an Improved Genetic Algorithm Combined with a Divide-and-Conquer Strategy
Authors: Li Jiaqi , Wang Yun , Du Ke-Lin
Published: July 2022

The multivehicle routing problem (MVRP) is a variation of the classical vehicle routing problem (VRP). The MVRP is to find a set of routes by multiple vehicles that serve multiple customers at a minimal total cost while the travelling-time delay due to traffic congestion is tolerated. It is an NP problem and is conventionally solved by metaheuristics such as evolutionary algorithms. For the MVRP in a distribution network, we propose an optimal distribution path optimization method that is composed of a distribution sequence search stage and a distribution path search stage that exploits a divide-and-conquer strategy, inspired by the idea of dynamic programming. Several optimization objectives subject to constraints are defined. The search for the optimal solution of the number of distribution vehicles, distribution sequence, and path is implemented by using an improved genetic algorithm (GA), which is characterized by an operation for preprocessing infeasible solutions, an elitist’s strategy, a sequence-related two-point crossover operator, and a reversion mutation operator. The improved GA outperforms the simple GA in terms of total cost, route topology, and route feasibility. The proposed method can help to reduce costs and increase efficiency for logistics and transportation enterprises and can also be used for flow-shop scheduling by manufacturing enterprises.

Published: July 2022

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most important diseases of barley in Manitoba province (western Canada), and other major barley producing regions of the world. Little is known about the Fusarium species and mycotoxin spectra associated with FHB of barley in Manitoba. Hence, barley grain samples were collected from 149 commercial fields from 2017 to 2019, along with information on respective cropping history, and analyzed with respect to Fusarium species spectra, abundance, chemotype composition, and mycotoxin profiles. Fusarium poae was the predominant Fusarium species associated with FHB of barley in Manitoba, followed by F. graminearum, and F. sporotrichioides; F. equiseti and F. avenaceum were also detected but at low levels. F. poae strains with the nivalenol (NIV) chemotype and F. graminearum strains with 3-acetyl deoxynivalenol (3-ADON) and 15-acetyl deoxynivalenol (15-ADON) chemotypes were commonly detected in the barley grain samples. Nivalenol (597.7, 219.1, and 412.4 µg kg−1) and deoxynivalenol (DON) (264.7, 56.7, and 65.3 µg kg−1) were the two most prevalent mycotoxins contaminating Manitoba barley in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. A substantially higher DON content was detected in grain samples from barley fields with cereals as a preceding crop compared to canola and flax. Furthermore, F. poae proved less sensitive to four triazole fungicides (metconazole, prothioconazole+tebuconazole, tebuconazole, and prothioconazole) than F. graminearum. Findings from this research will assist barley producers with improved understanding of FHB threat levels and optimizing practices for the best management of FHB in barley.
COVID-19-Associated Lung Fibrosis: Two Pathways and Two Phenotypes, Lung Transplantation, and Antifibrotics
Authors: Hage René , Schuurmans Macé M.
Published: July 2022

COVID-19 can be associated with lung fibrosis. Although lung fibrosis after COVID-19 is a relatively rare finding, the mere fact that globally a very large number of patients have had COVID-19 leads to a significant burden of disease. However, patients with COVID-19-associated lung fibrosis have different clinical and radiological features. The aim of this review is to define the different phenotypes of COVID-19-associated lung fibrosis, based on the medical literature. We found that two phenotypes have emerged. One phenotype is COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS); the other phenotype is post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis (PCPF). Both phenotypes have different risk factors, clinical, and radiological features, and differ in their pathophysiological mechanisms and prognoses. A long-term follow-up of patients with pulmonary complications after COVID-19 is warranted, even in patients with only discrete fibrosis. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal treatment because currently the literature is scarce, and evidence is only based on small case series or case reports.

Published: July 2022

To study binary neutron star systems and to interpret observational data such as gravitational-wave and kilonova signals, one needs an accurate description of the processes that take place during the final stages of the coalescence, for example, through numerical-relativity simulations. In this work, we present an updated version of the numerical-relativity code BAM in order to incorporate nuclear-theory-based equations of state and a simple description of neutrino interactions through a neutrino leakage scheme. Different test simulations, for stars undergoing a neutrino-induced gravitational collapse and for binary neutron stars systems, validate our new implementation. For the binary neutron stars systems, we show that we can evolve stably and accurately distinct microphysical models employing the different equations of state: SFHo, DD2, and the hyperonic BHBΛϕ. Overall, our test simulations have good agreement with those reported in the literature.

Published: July 2022

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are short and intense flashes of γ-rays coming from deep space. GRBs were discovered more than a half century ago and now are observed across the whole electromagnetic spectrum from radio to very-high-energy gamma rays. They carry information about the powerful energy release during the final stage of stellar evolution, as well as properties of matter on the way to the observer. At present, space-based observatories detect on average approximately one GRB per day. In this review, we summarize key space and ground facilities that contribute to the GRB studies.
Post-Transcriptional Gene Regulation by HPV 16E6 and Its Host Protein Partners
Authors: Billingsley Caylin L. , Chintala Sreenivasulu , Katzenellenbogen Rachel A.
Published: July 2022

Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV 16) is the most common oncogenic type of HPV in cervical, anogenital, and head and neck cancers, making HPV 16 an important high-risk HPV (HR HPV) type. To create an environment permissible for viral maintenance and growth and to initiate and support oncogenesis, the HR HPV protein E6 functions to dysregulate normal cellular processes. HR HPV type 16 E6 (16E6) has previously been shown to bind cellular proteins in order to transcriptionally activate genes and to target regulatory proteins for degradation. We have identified an additional functional model for 16E6. First, 16E6 binds to cellular RNA processing and binding proteins, specifically cytoplasmic poly(A) binding proteins (PABPCs) and NFX1-123. Then, 16E6 hijacks those proteins’ functions to post-transcriptionally regulate cellular immortalization, growth, and differentiation genes and pathways in keratinocytes. In this review, we have highlighted studies that introduce this new model of 16E6 functionality. Understanding ways in which HR HPV dysregulates cellular processes—particularly at the level of post-transcriptional gene regulation—presents new ways to consider mechanisms underlying DNA tumor virus function and new areas for therapeutic target development in HPV-associated cancers.

Published: July 2022

Groundwater occurrence in semi-arid regions is variable in space and time due to climate patterns, terrain features, and aquifer properties. Thus, accurate delineation of Groundwater Potential Zones (GWPZs) is essential for sustainable water resources management in these environments. The present research aims to delineate and assess GWPZs in a semi-arid basin of San Luis Potosi (SLP), Mexico, through the integration of Remote Sensing (RS), Geographic Information System (GIS), and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Seven thematic layers (geology, lineament density, land use and land cover, topographic wetness index (TWI), rainfall, drainage density, and slope) were generated in raster format. After the AHP procedure and rank assignment, the thematic layers were integrated using the raster calculator to obtain the GWPZs map. The results indicated that 68.21% of the area is classified as low groundwater potential, whereas 26.30% is classified as moderate. Validation was done by assessing the water residence time data from 15 wells distributed in the study area. Furthermore, the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve was obtained, indicating a satisfactory accuracy prediction (AUC = 0.677). This study provides valuable information for decision-makers regarding the conservation and sustainable management of groundwater resources.
On Current Challenges to Russian Statistics
Authors: Davletshina L. A. , Karmanov M. V.
Published: July 2022

The article covers fundamental challenges to statistics that affect activities related to the collection, processing, analysis and interpretation of information about socio-economic phenomena and processes. The paper focuses on the staffing situation in scientific, educational and management spheres in modern Russia. According to the authors, there is currently a shortage of personnel with basic education in statistics. This is caused, on one hand, by the fact that the number of educational institutions that train these specialists, and in fact have relevant departments, is decreasing, on the other hand – by the process of aging and irreplaceable natural loss of scientists, teachers and statisticians. Decline in professional competence is closely linked to the low and declining statistical literacy of the population, which also leads to disorientation while solving household tasks.

No less urgent challenge to contemporary statistics is the distrust of the population in statistical data, the accusation of deliberately concealing the truth and sugarcoating the reality. This reaction can result from the population’s lack of motivation to study and understand the actual processes taking place – given the availability of a wide range of statistical data and methodological explanations. This resulted, in the authors’ opinion, in a new challenge which has spread amidst almost unlimited access to the Internet for various population strata and the free formation of content in their social networks and pages. External and internal political manipulation is often carried out through the dissemination of fake information, which is also a serious challenge to the institute of state statistics.

The article concludes that an impartial consideration of the challenges that domestic statistics is facings, development of directions for addressing the issues encountered and promotion of genuine achievements (with media coverage) allow to tackle the adverse impact on the public of misinformation and false information about socio-economic phenomena in the country as a whole and its regions.

ПОТЕНЦІАЛ ВОЛОНТЕРСЬКОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ЯК СКЛАДОВОЇ СОЦІАЛЬНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Say Dmytro , Malynovska Natalia
Published: July 2022

Соціальна безпека держави, а саме соціальна безпека людей, є ключовим фактором її стабільності та подальшого розвитку. Проте обмежені ресурси, наявні державні структури та організації не завжди можуть повністю забезпечити та підтримати бажаний рівень соціальної безпеки у державі. Саме тому пошук та використання нових підходів до забезпечення соціальної безпеки, є важливим завданням державної політики. Волонтерство може бути важливою складовою соціальної безпеки держави в умовах сьогоденних викликів, а молодь – найактивнішою категорією у процесі волонтерської діяльності.
Волонтерська діяльність може бути реалізована фізично або в онлайн середовищі, в залежності від потреб ситуації та можливості самих волонтерів. Важливою є роль волонтерів під час ліквідації наслідків стихійних лих, надзвичайних ситуацій тощо.
Проте для отримання позитивних результатів, держава повинна створювати належні умови для розвитку та пропагування волонтерської діяльності. Волонтери можуть допомогти забезпечувати соціальну безпеку України за умови створення загального «клімату участі» у країні та сприянню діяльності волонтерських та благодійних організацій, а саме: мотивувати та заохочувати молодь бути соціально активною та брати участь у волонтерській діяльності; формувати ставлення до волонтерів та такої діяльності зі сторони організаторів та держави не як до безоплатної праці та безплатних робітників, а як до важливого ресурсу, який потрібно берегти, розвивати та підтримувати доступними наявними способами; розвивати та підтримувати різні форми волонтерства як оффлайн так і онлайн; готувати та залучати дітей та молодь до волонтерської діяльності з раннього віку; надавати можливості для волонтерства у різні вікові періоди та протягом всього життя.
Подальшого дослідження та ґрунтовного аналізу потребує питання можливостей залучення до волонтерської інших категорій осіб окрім дітей та молоді,  а також використання всіх можливостей онлайн-волонтерства, а також його популяризації для забезпечення соціальної безпеки держави.

Published: July 2022

Engineering the catalytic activity and stability of materials would require the identification of the structural features that can tailor active sites at surfaces. Porous single crystals combine the ordered lattice structures and disordered interconnected pores, and they would therefore provide the advantages of precise structure features to identify and engineer the active sites at surfaces. Herein, we fabricate porous single-crystalline vanadium nitride (VN) at centimeter scale and further dope Fe (Fe

V
0.9
N) and Co (Co

V

N) in lattice to engineer the active sites at surface. We demonstrate that the active surface is composed of unsaturated coordination of V-N, Fe-N, and Co-N structures which lead to the generation of high-density active sites at the porous single-crystalline monolith surface. The interconnected pores aid the pore-enhanced fluxion to facilitate species diffusion in the porous architectures. In the nonoxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene, we demonstrate the outstanding performance with ethane conversion of 36% and ethylene selectivity of 99% at 660°C. Remarkably stability as a result of their single-crystalline structure, the monoliths achieve the outstanding performance without degradation being observed even after 200 hours of a continuous operation in a monolithic reactor. This work not only demonstrates the effective structural engineering to simultaneously enhance the stability and overall performance for practically useful catalytic materials but also provide a new route for the element doping of porous single crystals at large scale for the potential application in other fields.
An Implicit Interpretation of the May 18 Gwangju Democratic Uprising Data and China's Statement on the Rescue of Kim Dae Jung's Life in the People's Daily
Authors:   Society for International Cultural Institute, Shin Jeongho
Published: July 2022

The data on the May 18 Gwangju Democratic Uprising and the rescue of Kim Dae Jung's life in the People's Daily are of primary significance from the need for sympathy and cooperation from neighboring countries to seek the stability of the Korean Peninsula and the development of democracy. Nevertheless, related data for a long time were not subject to academic research. The reason can be summarized in two main ways. One is that the data containing the perspective of the socialist country China is not securing objectivity. The other is that researchers do not have an active attitude toward the discovery and academic research of the country's historical materials. Until now, academic research on the democratic movement and the maturity of democratization in the south of the Korean Peninsula has continued, focusing on the related data in the U.S. and Japan. Considering the current development of conflicts around the Korean Peninsula, it is time to study China's data at least from an academic perspective. Through the analysis, it was confirmed that China's data on the Kim Dae Jung life-saving movement in the process of the New Military Constitution is very valuable in the future construction of a unified state on the Korean Peninsula and planning contents for friendly exchanges between Korea and China.

This study investigates the convergence mechanism of Dohsa-hou and psychomotorik with the motto of movement according to the changes of the times due to the rise of the 4th industrial revolution of creativity and convergence with the motto of movement according to the changes of the times due to the rise of the 4th industrial revolution of creativity and convergence. Therefore, the theoretical and practical contents of Dohsa-hou and psychomotorik were examined, and the possibility of convergence was explored through the ultimate purpose and direction pursued by the two theories. This study found common ground between the two theories to find out the possibility of convergence between the two, proving their effectiveness in the field of educational practice. Through prior research on the two theories and analysis of practical clinical processes, five common points were found as core values, characteristics, and adjustment methods of the two theories. They are the commonality of self-directed approach through self-regulation, the commonalities of exercise-based education, a general approach as a dynamic relationship between the body and mind, the commonalities of education through experience, and the common point of applying the principle of physical contact. Based on the five commonalities, the possibility of convergence of the two theories is sufficient. Exploring the possibility of convergence between the two theories is only an academic curiosity and an enterprising idea as a scholar who combines the two theories in the process of mediating and supporting the educational subject.

Published: July 2022

This study contains an approach for recognizing the sound environment class from a video to understand the spoken content with its sentimental context via some sort of analysis that is achieved by the processing of audio-visual content using multimodal deep learning methodology. This approach begins with cutting the parts of a given video which the most action happened by using deep learning and this cutted parts get concanarated as a new video clip. With the help of a deep learning network model which was trained before for sound recognition, a sound prediction process takes place. The model was trained by using different sound clips of ten different categories to predict sound classes. These categories have been selected by where the action could have happened the most. Then, to strengthen the result of sound recognition if there is a speech in the new video, this speech has been taken. By using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Named Entity Recognition (NER) this speech has been categorized according to if the word of a speech has connotation of any of the ten categories. Sentiment analysis and Apriori Algorithm from Association Rule Mining (ARM) processes are preceded by identifying the frequent categories in the concanarated video and helps us to define the relationship between the categories owned. According to the highest performance evaluation values from our experiments, the accuracy for sound environment recognition for a given video's processed scene is 70%, average Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) score for speech to text with VOSK speech recognition toolkit's English language model is 90% on average and for Turkish language model is 81% on average. Discussion and conclusion based on scientific findings are included in our study.

Published: July 2022

The demands on surface water for agricultural, industrial and domestic activities has been on the increase while the quality and quantity of freshwater supply is decreasing geometrically as a result of rapid population growth in Ekiti Central Senatorial District, Nigeria. The supply of surface water to every nock and crannies of the studied area must be met. To achieve this, the application of Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing was used to map out surface water for effective and efficient water distribution at the required quantity and quality to the studied area. Surface water mapping provides accessible, accurate, readable and reliable information about the location, quantity, availability and distribution of surface water in Ekiti Central Senatorial District. The LANDSAT ETM+ was used to acquire the satellite imageries of surface water in the studied area. The surfer 8 and Arc GIS 10 softwares were used to generate the digital elevation model, flow direction, flow length, flow accumulation, land use and drainage maps of the studied area, respectively. The results revealed that the studied area has a steady flow of water which can be evenly distributed throughout the senatorial district. Water flows from the areas of high elevation to the areas of low elevation, while accumulates at the downstream of the water flow. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing technologies provides easily read and rapidly accessible maps that can be used to monitor the surface water to enhance water distribution for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes and the system can also be used to manage water resources correctly and effectively.

Rainfall simulator is an essential tool to simulate natural rainfall accurately and precisely. A reliable, accurate and portable small scale rainfall simulator is required for runoff, infiltration, sediment generation and erosion studies. And this has been used extensively to gather runoff, infiltration and erosion data in both laboratory and field experiments. This study was conducted to determine rainfall intensity, rainfall drop sizes and erosivity. An existing rainfall simulator was modified to be easily assembled, transported and maintained as well as to create a variety of rainfall regimes. Performance evaluation of the modified rainfall simulator was carried out with 10 trials to determine the intensity of rainfall, drop sizes and erosivity. Correlations were drawn out between the data of the simulated rainfall and that of the natural rainfall data. The results show that rainfall amount, intensity and kinetic energy are the main variables that influence rainfall erosivity index at 99% confidence level. The erosivity index of both simulated rainfall and natural rainfall are 36395.40JM-2mmhr-1 and 34792.51JM-2mmhr-1, respectively. The results of regression analysis of the simulated and natural rainfall show the influence of intensity and amount of rainfall on erosivity index. The linear regression models of simulated and natural rainfall show strong influence to varying degrees of (R2-values) which are 0.949, 0.190, 0.949 and 0.955, respectively. It was concluded that the modified rainfall simulator is suitable to simulate and reproduce natural rainfall characteristics such as rain drop size, intensity, kinetic energy and erosivity. The modified rainfall simulator is a portable type which can be easily assembled, maintained, transported and it can also be used in both laboratory and field experiments for irrigation, infiltration, runoff, sediment and erosion control studies. The estimated cost of modification was ₦44,520.00.

The application of Geographical information system (GIS) and Remote sensing (RS) have become essential and effective tools in development of drainage pattern of the study area. This method can be used for the identification of hydrological features and properties of basin. The topographic map of the study area was scanned and geo-referenced before it was exported into ArcGIS 10.0 software. The digitized map was edited, and saved as line coverage in ArcGIS Software. This paper aimed at applying GIS and RS for the development of drainage system for LAUTECH, Ogbomoso in order to prevent or reduce the persistent occurrence of flood. Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques were used to analyse the hydrological drainage basins of the study area. Google Earth and LANDSAT 7 sensor of 2019 ETM+, path 191 and row 55 of VHS were used to acquire the satellite imageries of the study area. Using high resolution imageries, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was developed with Surfer 8 and ArcGIS 10.0. The drainage, watershed, flow direction, flow length and flow accumulation maps of the study area were generated by using the Digital Elevation Model. Result obtained indicated that studied basins exhibits high, medium and low spatial variations in their hydrological properties. The results revealed that the used of remotely sensed data and ArcGIS 10.0 software provide an effective approach to develop accurate drainage pattern with a minimum amount of time, effort, and cost. This approach creates easily read and accessible techniques that facilitate the identification and development of drainage pattern of the study area. This study would help the people to utilize the resources for sustainable development of the basin area.

Sharing Practice on Framing Feedback Around Student Development
Authors: Paterson Helena , McAleer Phil
Published: July 2022

In this article we share practical and evidence-based advice on framing assessment feedback around student development. The practices that we share are centred on two aspects of framing feedback. The first is in how feedback is generated and how the teacher can author effective feedback by making it personal, situated within the student’s learning journey and by providing actionable points for the next assignment. The second aspect that we share is the framing of feedback in relation to student reflection and use of the feedback, scaffolding the development of a dialogue between student and teacher, and helping the student to situate their assignment and feedback within their own wider learning journey. Ultimately, we want students to find feedback useful and for feedback to represent a positive interaction between teacher and student, but both teachers and students need tools that help them to create usable feedback.

La transición desde un sistema educativo presencial hacia uno a distancia conlleva un ecosistema para el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje donde la participación e interacción asumen nuevos retos para estudiantes y docentes. Esta investigación se ha centrado en indagar de forma exploratoria las dinámicas de participación del estudiantado en las clases sincrónicas a través del uso de la cámara web, buscando conocer las situaciones que les conducen a realizar un uso efectivo de la misma o su desactivación con el fin último de realizar futuras propuestas tecnopedagógicas para la participación activa y empoderada del alumnado. Se han llevado a cabo análisis estadísticos descriptivos, univariados (ANOVA) y multivariados (MANOVA). La muestra está constituida por 142 estudiantes de educación superior. Los resultados revelaron que el estudiantado se muestra más reacio hacia la activación de la cámara web como medio de participación e interacción en las sesiones sincrónicas debido al elevado número de asistentes o el predominio de metodologías como la clase magistral, entre otros factores. La réplica digital de las sesiones presenciales está generando una reproducción de elementos audiovisuales para promover espacios de participación donde las herramientas y prácticas implementadas no acaban de convencer al estudiantado hacia su utilización.

Перспективные статьи, статьи-мнения и статьи-рецензии - это научные статьи, которые выражают личное мнение или новую перспективу о существующих исследованиях по определенной теме. Они не требуют оригинальных исследований и, следовательно, их написание занимает меньше времени, чем написание оригинальных исследовательских статей. Тем не менее, автор должен иметь глубокие знания по теме. Поскольку такие статьи не связаны с оригинальными исследованиями, они рассматриваются как вторичная литература. Тем не менее, они, безусловно, являются огромным дополнением к существующему объему научной литературы. Данный вид публикаций представляет новую и уникальную точку зрения автора на существующие проблемы, фундаментальные концепции или распространенные понятия по конкретной теме, предлагают и поддерживают новую гипотезу или обсуждают последствия недавно внедренной инновации. Такие статьи могут быть посвящены текущим достижениях и будущим направлениям по теме исследования и могут включать оригинальные данные, а также личное мнение. Обычно это короткие рецензируемые статьи объемом около 2000-4000 слов. Данные статьи могут включать в себя таблицы и рисунки, если это необходимо.
