Approach to assessing the level of intelligence of an information system
Authors: Mikoni Stanislav V.
Published: March 2023

Based on the analysis of the definitions of natural and artificial intelligence (AI), basic functions are proposed that reflect the cognitive activity of the brain. Their interpretation in a broad sense, using the rules of Russian grammar, made it possible to describe the entire range of concepts used in AI. The possibility of expressing basic functions in terms of simpler ones and combining them into more complex ones is shown. The completeness, consistency and non-redundancy of the basis of the cognitive functions of the brain are substantiated. The 14 basic functions are divided into 4 groups, reflecting different aspects of working with knowledge. This made it possible to consider the AI system as a specialized information processing system. For a sign that distinguishes the AI subsystem in the information system, a simulation approach to modeling the functions of the human brain is adopted. The level of intelligence of an information system is characterized by indicators of the share of hardware and software required for the implementation of AI models in the total amount of hardware and software of the information system. An example of assessing the level of intelligence of an information system of an unmanned aerial vehicle is given.

We present results of the experimental verification of a concept of the previously proposed all-optical wavelength-selective multichannel switch based on an off-axis Wood zone plate in the millimeter waveband without the use of micromechanical devices or non-linear materials. A laboratory prototype of such a device is considered and its main parameters are discussed. It is shown that the optical isolation of switched channels for the switch based on an off-axis zone plate can reach 15 dB at a frequency difference of 25 GHz in the frequency range of 93 – 136 GHz.

Regularization by Denoising for Inverse Problems in Imaging
Authors: Kravchuk Oleg , Kriukova Galyna
Published: March 2023

In this work, a generalized scheme of regularization of inverse problems is considered, where a priori knowledge about the smoothness of the solution is given by means of some self-adjoint operator in the solution space. The formulation of the problem is considered, namely, in addition to the main inverse problem, an additional problem is defined, in which the solution is the right-hand side of the equation. Thus, for the regularization of the main inverse problem, an additional inverse problem is used, which brings information about the smoothness of the solution to the initial problem. This formulation of the problem makes it possible to use operators of high complexity for regularization of inverse problems, which is an urgent need in modern machine learning problems, in particular, in image processing problems. The paper examines the approximation error of the solution of the initial problem using an additional problem.
FÚLVIO GIULIANO: ARTE, RIBEIRINIDADE E PROCESSOS EDUCATIVOS NO AMAPÁ (1962 -1983)
Authors: Ferreira Cristiane Machado Corrêa
Published: March 2023

ResumoEste artigo tem por objetivo discutir o trabalho educativo e pedagógico de padre Fúlvio Francesco Giuliano (missionário do Pontifício Instituto das Missões ao Exterior - PIME). A trajetória artística, educativa e religiosa de pe. Fúlvio, na Amazônia amapaense, encontra-se assentada no recorte histórico entre os anos de 1962-1983. Neste período, suas pinturas retratavam temas sociais (mazelas humanas, moradia, migração e carências material da população); educativos (ensino catequético e laico) e sacros. Por todo modo, as ações no campo das artes e da missão religiosa no Amapá foram nutridas por grandes acontecimentos ocorridos no contexto histórico de turbulências sociais e políticas, vivenciadas do período do Território Federal do Amapá (TFA). Logo, os diálogos produzidos com moradores amazônicos favoreceram a aplicação do uso da imagem como mecanismo educativo para a fé e para a vida. Durante o percurso investigativo, Fúlvio empregou sistematicamente uma pedagogia visual como instrumento que desse conta de aproximar a Igreja a seus fiéis. Neste diálogo, o artista estabeleceu conexões comunicativas com grupos letrados e não letrados. Abordar isso favorece conhecer melhor práticas voltadas à educação e processos criativos a partir desse artista, no âmbito da história da educação na Amazônia.AbstractThis article aims to discuss the educational and pedagogical work of priest Fúlvio Francesco Giuliano (missionary of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions - PIME). The artistic, educational, and religious trajectory of fr. Fúlvio, in the Amapaense Amazon, is in the historical cut between the years 1962-1983. In this period, his paintings portrayed social themes (human ills, housing, migration, and material shortages of the population); educational (catechetical and lay teaching) and sacred. In any case, actions in the field of arts and religious mission in Amapá were nourished by major events that took place in the historical context of social and political turmoil, experienced in the period of the Federal Territory of Amapá (TFA). Therefore, the dialogues produced with Amazonian residents favored the application of the use of the image as an educational mechanism for faith and for life. During the investigative journey, Fúlvio systematically used a visual pedagogy as a tool to bring the Church closer to its faithful. In this dialogue, the artist established communicative connections with literate and non-literate groups. Addressing these favors knowing better practices aimed at education and creative processes from this artist, within the scope of the history of education in the Amazon.

ResumoAs obras das artistas Rosana Paulino e Aline Motta levantam o debate sobre o apagamento da memória da cultura negra na sociedade brasileira, uma sociedade em que perdura o racismo advindo de nosso processo histórico, perpassado por mais de 300 anos de escravagismo. São artistas em cujos trabalhos estão presentes também a vontade de cura dos traumas herdados, uma cura que estaria no enfrentamento e retomada da ancestralidade.AbstractThe works of artists Rosana Paulino and Aline Motta raise the debate about the erasure of the memory of black culture in Brazilian society, a society where racism persists arising from our historical process, permeated by more than three hundred years of slavery. They are artists whose works also contain the desire to heal inherited traumas, a healing that would be in the confrontation and resumption of ancestry.
The Mediterranean Diet Effects on Atrial Premature Complexes
Authors: ÖZEN Yasin , KUYUMCU Aliye
Published: March 2023

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between atrial premature complexes (APC) and Mediterranean diet score. Rhythm disturbances in the heart significantly affect the quality of life of the patients.
Material and Methods: This study was conducted on 50 patients with palpitations who were referred to the cardiology outpatient clinic and had more than 10000 APC per day as a result of a 24-hour holter, and 50 patients who presented with palpitations but had less than 10,000 APC in the holter. Diet quality was determined by scoring method (5, 6-9 and ≥10 points) ‘Mediterranean Diet Adaptation Scale’ and compared between groups.
Results: There was no difference between the two groups in terms of clinical and demographic characteristics. Mediterranean diet scores were found lower in patients with APC’s ≥10.000/day (p<0.001). A significant negative correlation was found between APC and Mediterranean diet score (p<0.001, r = -0.560).
Conclusion: The protective role of Mediterranean diet type nutrition on the frequency of APC was clearly observed in our study. This study, which is one of the limited numbers of studies examining the relationship between Mediterranean diet and APC, may be helpful in understanding the pathophysiology of APC.
(Re) presentaciones de las sexualidades en videojuegos
Authors: Murúa Losada Gonzalo
Published: March 2023

La presente investigación surge de un ánimo de época vinculado a la visibilización del colectivo LGBTIQ, aspecto que se manifiesta en las culturas populares contemporáneas. Día a día esta cuestión está tomando mayor dimensión, haciéndonos dudar de nuestras propias estructuras en lo cotidiano. Observando el amplio éxito de la industria del videojuego, que quintuplica en números a la industria del cine, surge la pregunta ¿existen los personajes LGBTIQ en sus narraciones? Realizando un análisis superficial podemos afirmar que sí, de hecho, en los últimos años han crecido. Me propongo relevar y analizar las representaciones de las sexualidades disidentes en un corpus de videojuegos de diferentes géneros y años. De este modo, se podrá observar si existen variaciones a lo largo de los años en las historias y líneas argumentales, así como el modo de narrarlos. Los títulos serán The Sims (1999), Dragon Age: Inquisition (2012), y Overwatch (2015). Asimismo, reflexionaremos sobre un mecanismo que existe desde la génesis de los videojuegos cuyos usuarios eran principalmente varones. En una sociedad heteronormada se ha buscado incluir en estas narrativas personajes mujeres que encarnen varones heterosexuales. Cuerpos desdoblados, cuerpos virtuales donde hay, como afirma Lucia Santaella (2008) una “identificación encarnada” en estas estéticas tecnológicas.

Motnje izločanja pri otrocih in mladostnikih: psihološka obravnava z vedenjsko-kognitivnim pristopom
Authors: Kreft Hausmeister Ivana , Stefanova Kralj Valentina
Published: March 2023

Raziskave kažejo, da je primeren čas za začetek toaletnega treninga po 2. letu, saj takrat otroci dosežejo nadzor nad mišicami medeničnega dna in analnega sfinktra, vendar pa mora otrok prej osvojiti določene veščine, ki jih bo potreboval za toaletni trening. Te otroci dosežejo vsak ob svojem času. Zato klasifikacije opredelijo motnje izločanja šele po 4. oziroma 5. letu. Motnje izločanja so v mednarodni klasifikaciji DSM 5 opredeljene v dveh kategorijah: enureza in enkopreza (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). V psihološki praksi se z motnjami izločanja srečamo v okviru sistematskih pregledov ali pa so otroci napoteni zaradi negativnega vpliva, ki ga imajo motnje izločanja na otrokov socialni in čustveni razvoj. Pregled literature kaže, da je med najbolj učinkovitimi načini obravnave motenj izločanja vedenjska terapija oziroma izbrane tehnike, ki jih bomo v prispevku tudi predstavili.

Keterampilan pemecahan masalah menjadi tuntutan abad 21, namun masih banyak peserta didik yang belum terlatih untuk memecahkan masalah. Maka dari itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan keterampilan pemecahan masalah peserta didik SMP di Banjarmasin. Penelitian dilakukan sebagai studi awal dalam tahapan pertama model 4-D (Define) bersama 20 peserta didik SMP. Data didapatkan dari tes keterampilan pemecahan masalah. Hasil tes keterampilan pemecahan masalah menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata pada tahapan memahami masalah yaitu 21,06 dengan kategori kurang baik, membuat rencana dengan rata-rata 4,72 berkategori tidak baik, melaksanakan rencana dengan rata-rata 3,33 berkategori tidak baik dan mengecek kembali dengan rata-rata 4,17 berkategori tidak baik. Dengan demikian, peserta didik masih belum terampil dalam memecahkan masalah. Sehingga perlu adanya upaya dari guru dan sekolah untuk melatihkan peserta didik memecahkan masalah. Problem-solving skills are the demands of the 21st century, but many students still have not been trained to solve problems. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the problem-solving skills of junior high school students in Banjarmasin. The research was conducted as an initial study in the first stage of the 4-D model (Define) with 20 junior high school students. The data was obtained from the problem-solving skills test. The results of the problem-solving skills test show that the average at the stage of understanding the problem is 21.06 with a bad category, making plans with an average of 4.72 in the bad category, implementing plans with an average of 3.33 in the bad category and checking returned with an average of 4.17 in the bad category. Thus, students are still not skilled in solving problems. So there needs to be an effort from teachers and schools to train students to solve problems.

Authors: Nazhifah Nauratun , Fathurohman Apit
Published: March 2023

This paper aims to explore the teachers’ perspectives on the LMS in the physics learning process. The research was conducted using a descriptive quantitative method. A total of 31 science and physics teachers participated as the research sample which was determined by purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using a mixed questionnaire consisting of 14 questions which were then distributed online using Google Form. Based on the findings, learning using the LMS offers many advantages, but the findings also show that there are deficiencies in terms of the internet network which has an impact on delays in incoming information to students. Then, the results of the analysis show that 100% of science and physics teachers need the application and development of LMS to make it easier for them to convey physics material so that it is more flexible, effective, and efficient. The LMS expected by the physics teacher contains features such as video conferencing, uploading files/tasks, discussion forms, quizzes, and absences, then the LMS is user-friendly, can be used without the internet, and manages grades automatically. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that teachers seek the development and implementation of LMS in physics learning.

Authors: Alsehaimi Aref , Barron Ian
Published: March 2023

BackgroundThe physical abuse of children is a worldwide problem, which has received much attention in developed countries but remains less well-attended in developing and third-world nations.ObjectiveThe current study sought to determine the nature, prevalence and effects of physical abuse of children by parents in Saudi Arabia.Participants and settingThe participants included high school students in two Saudi cities together with parents of students from the same schools.MethodA semi-structured questionnaire was administered to a random sample of 768 of students and, in addition, interviews were conducted with 20 parents. Analysis of responses involved demographic patterns, weighted means of Likert scores, chi square analysis, and correlation and regression analyses.ResultsResults indicated that 37% of adolescents had been subjected to some form of physical violence by parents. The most common form of violence reported was being struck with an object other than a stick. A small but significant number of students were subject to burning, punching, or whipping, in some cases on a daily basis, and some reported having been scarred or hospitalised as a result of their injuries. No significant gender difference was found for types of physical abuse. However, a correlation was found between lower levels of parental education with the frequency of certain types of violent behaviour.ConclusionsThe study indicates that a high level parental physical violence persists in Saudi Arabia, including regular extreme forms that have severe health consequences. Recommendations are made for future research.
Evaluation of the application of Wickerhamomyces anomalus supernatant for the control of relevant spoilage yeasts in wines
Authors: Kuchen Benjamín , Paroldi Emilio Hector , Azcona María Sol , Groff María Carla , Pera Licia , Vazquez Fabio
Published: March 2023

SO2 is traditionally used to limit or nullify the proliferation of spoilage yeasts in must/wine, but its use has become controversial due to its negative effects on human health. An alternative strategy for the control of spoilage yeasts is the use of biocontrol yeasts. Wickerhamomyces anomalus is an outstanding biocontroller yeast that has been examined by our group and that is a good biocontrol agent against Brettanomyces bruxellensis and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. The challenge regarding the application of the results of microbial biocontrol studies lies in exploring technologically simple and economical ways to make use of microbial biocontrol activity. The introduction of foreign microbiota adds complexity to the fermentation medium and can cause technological difficulties and have oenological consequences inherent to the implementation of mixed cultures. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterise the concentrated culture supernatant of W. anomalus and evaluate its biocontrol action in liquid medium on two main wine spoilage yeasts. W. anomalus BWa156 supernatant demonstrated inhibitory killer protein characteristics. The production of the inhibitory supernatant by the biocontroller yeast was independent of the presence or absence of the spoilage yeast. Supernatant can be produced faster under aerobic conditions than in traditional fermentation (i.e., with around 24 h), thus increasing its potential for technological development. The treatment with the supernatant of BWa156 was effective against the two spoilage populations Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Brettanomyces bruxellensis, which are considered problematic for the wine industry. The supernatant of the biocontrol yeast can be considered to be a relevant additional stress factor for the spoilage population, which together with other factors such as ethanol, competition for nutrients, oxygen and pH, contributes to the elimination of the polluting population. This technology would allow a simple future application, through its production in a bioreactor parallel to the fermentation and subsequent inoculation in the must/wine.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membantu masyarakat sekitar, sehingga dapat meminimalisir  sampah yang ada, salah satu dari berbagai sampah tersebut adalah limbah rokok, karena jika dibiarkan terus menerus masalah limbah rokok yang dihasilkan dari industri rokok ini akan mengancam lingkungan, sehingga dapat menimbulkan pencemaran. Pada kenyataannya limbah rokok masih menjadi persoalan cukup serius dan belum dimanfaatkan dengan baik. Padahal limbah rokok ini yang sebagian besar komponennya adalah tembakau mempunyai potensi untuk dijadikan desinfektan dalam kegiatan bercocok tanam. Selain proses pembuatan desinfektan tanaman dari limbah rokok ini terbilang cukup mudah, juga desinfektan ini berbahan dasar alami dan tentunya juga ramah lingkungan sehingga akan sangat bagus digunakan dalam jangka Panjang maupun pendek. Selain itu desinfektan ini mudah dibuat dan dapat dijadikan alternatif bagi para petani disebabkan mahalnya desinfektan kimia saat ini. Dengan melihat beberapa keunggulan dari hal diatas, kami tertarik untuk merekayasa limbah puntung rokok menjadi sesuatu yang berdaya guna bagi petani.
Description of a Novel Fish Pathogen, Plesiomonas shigelloides subsp. Oncorhynchi, Isolated From Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): First Genome Analysis and Comparative Genomics
Authors: Duman Muhammed , Garcia Valdes Elena , Ay Hilal , ALTUN Soner , Saticioglu Izzet Burcin
Published: March 2023

Plesiomonas shigelloides is the only species in the genus and has zoonotic importance due to its serious implications resulting from the consumption of contaminated seafood. This is the first report on the genomic features of the whole-genome sequence (WGS) of P. shigelloides strain V-78 recovered from diseased rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. The genome of P. shigelloides V-78 consists of 4,478,098 base pairs (bp), which encode 3730 proteins and has a G+C content of 51.1%. The bioinformatics analysis of WGS of V-78 confirmed the presence of 121 tRNA genes and 42 rRNA genes (15 genes for 5S rRNA, 13 genes for 16S rRNA and 14 genes for 23S rRNA). Comprehensive genome analyses revealed that the strain encodes for secondary metabolites, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence genes. The strain V-78 has 31 known antibiotic resistance models, which encode many antimicrobial resistances. Also, strain V-78 has 42 different virulence genes such as adhesion, secretion system, and motility. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization value against P. shigelloides NCTC 10360 was 74.2%, while the average nucleotide identity value was 97.1%. Based on the scrutinized analysis of genomic data, strain V-78 should be considered a novel subspecies of P. shigelloides, for which Plesiomonas shigelloides subsp. oncorhynchi is proposed.

Using the autopsy case as an example, this case report will outline the classic presentation of Turner syndrome, go over its physiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis and explain the cause of death in this particular case while also highlighting other common causes of death/risk factors within Turner syndrome. Differential diagnosis and mimicking disease processes will also be discussed. This report will also highlight the molecular tests used for the diagnosis of Turner syndrome, discuss developments using in situ hybridization, and discuss why this method is best for the determination of Turner syndrome over conventional karyotyping.
The Portuguese Public Hospitals Performance and Sustainability Evolution Before and During the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic (2017-2022)
Authors: Caldas Paulo , Varela Miguel
Published: March 2023

Covid-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, which has spread worldwide since the beginning of 2020. Several pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical strategies were proposed to contain the virus dissemination, including vaccination and lockdowns. One of the consequences of the pandemic was the denial or delay of access to convenient health care services, but also potentially the increase of adverse events within those services, like the number of hospital infections. Therefore, the main question here is: What happened to the performance and sustainability of hospitals? The main goal of this work was to test if the Portuguese public hospitals' performance has been affected by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We used the Benefit-of-Doubt method integrated with the Malmquist Index to analyze the performance evolution over time. Then, we employed a multiple regression model to test whether some pandemic-related variables could explain the performance results. We considered a database of 40 Portuguese public hospitals evaluated from January 2017 to May 2022. The period 2017 to 2019 corresponds to the baseline (pre-pandemic), against which the remaining period will be compared (during the pandemic). We also considered fourteen variables characterizing hospital quality, divided into three main performance definitions (efficiency and productivity; access; safety and care appropriateness). As potential explanatory variables, we consider seven dimensions, including vaccination rate and the need for intensive care for Covid-19 infected people. Results suggest that Covid-19 pandemic features help explain the drop on access after 2020, but not the evolution of safety and appropriateness of care, which surpris-ingly increased the whole time.

Method: The research design used is a Quasi Experimental Design with a Post Test Only Non Equivalent Control group design to get a sample of 30 respondents taken by consecutive sampling. The independent variable is warm and cold compresses on pain after infusion in children and the dependent variable is pain intensity after infusion. Data was taken by using observation with Wong Baker Face scale. After collecting the data processing and proceeding with the Wilcoxon rank test statistical test which was carried out using the SPSS program.

Result: The results showed 0.000 then p < (0.05), there was a difference between warm compresses and cold compresses before infusion on pain intensity.

Conclusion:  Cold compresses are more dominant in reducing heat because they are better able to suppress autonomic responses, while warm compresses cause vasodilation associated with local blood vessel dilation. It is hoped that it can urge nurses to provide direct warm compress therapy and cold compresses to pediatric patients who will be given an infusion as one of the non-pharmacological therapies to reduce pain intensity.

Introduction. Increasing vehicle numbers, coupled with their increased consumption of fossil fuels, have drawn great concern about their detrimental environmental impacts. Alternative energy sources have been the subject of extensive research and development. Due to its high energy density, zero emissions, and use of sustainable fuels, the battery is widely considered one of the most promising solutions for automobile applications. A major obstacle to its commercialization is the battery's high cost and low power density. Purpose. Implementing a control system is the primary objective of this work, which is employed to change the energy sources in hybrid energy storage system about the load applied to the drive. Novelty. To meet the control objective, a speed condition-based controller is designed by considering four separate math functions and is programmed based on different speed ranges. On the other hand, the conventional/intelligent controller is also considered to develop the switching signals related to the DC-DC converter’s output and applied the actual value. Methods. According to the proposed control strategy, the adopted speed condition based controller is a combined conventional/intelligent controller to meet the control object. Practical value. In this work, three different hybrid controllers adopted speed condition based controller with artificial neural network controller, adopted speed condition based controller with fuzzy logic controller, and adopted speed condition based controller with proportional-integral derivative controller are designed and applied separately and obtain the results at different load conditions in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Three hybrid controller’s execution is assessed based on time-domain specifications.

Introduction. For AC-DC conversion systems, the electrical systems typically use thyristor or diode bridge rectifiers, which have relatively poor performance. Nowadays, three-phase pulse-width modulation rectifiers are widely applied in various applications for their well-known intrinsic benefits, such as adjustable DC link voltage, unity power factor, bidirectional power flow and very low total harmonic distortion. Purpose. The objective of this work is to achieve better stability and dynamic performance using sliding mode strategy for control and observation. Methods. For that purpose, first a sliding mode controller is introduced on the DC-link side to ensure a fast and accurate response of the output load voltage. Then, the sliding mode approach is employed to control the quadrature and direct components of power to maintain the input power factor at unity. Finally, this approach is used to design two observers for grid voltage estimation and online variation of load resistance. To overcome the problem associated with the use of the classical low-pass filter, an adaptive compensation algorithm is used to compensate the attenuation of the amplitude and phase delay of the observed grid voltages. This algorithm is based on the use of the two low-pass filters in cascade and ensures the minimization of chattering. Results. Comparative studies have been carried out between sliding mode control method for controlling the three-phase AC-DC pulse-width modulation rectifier and other conventional techniques. The validation by simulation and the tests carried out gave very satisfactory results and proved the effectiveness and feasibility of the sliding mode for both control and observation of three phase pulse-width modulation rectifier.
Application of whale algorithm optimizer for unified power flow controller optimization with consideration of renewable energy sources uncertainty

Published: March 2023

Purpose. In this paper an allocation methodology of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) controllers, more specifically, the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is proposed. As the penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) into the conventional electric grid increases, its effect on this location must be investigated. Research studies have shown that the uncertainty of RESs in power generation influences the reactive power of a power system network and consequently its overall transmission losses. The novelty of the proposed work consists in the improvement of voltage profile and the minimization of active power loss by considering renewable energy sources intermittency in the network via optimal location of UPFC device. The allocation strategy associates the steady-state analysis of the electrical network, with the location and adjustment of controller parameters using the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) technique. Methodology. In order to determine the location of UPFC, approaches are proposed based on identification of a line which is the most sensitive and effective with respect to voltage security enhancement, congestion alleviation as well as direct optimization approach. The optimum location of UPFC in the power system is discussed in this paper using line loading index, line stability index and optimization method. The objective function is solved using the WOA algorithm and its performance is evaluated by comparison with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Results. The effectiveness of the proposed allocation methodology is verified through the analysis of simulations performed on standard IEEE 30 bus test system considering different load conditions. The obtained results demonstrate that feasible and effective solutions are obtained using the proposed approach and can be used to overcome the optimum location issue. Additionally, the results show that when UPFC device is strategically positioned in the electrical network and uncertainty of RES is considered, there is a significant influence on the overall transmission loss and voltage profile enhancements of the network.

Published: March 2023

A statistical analysis of the dynamics of filing patent applications in the world, as well as issued patents according to the World Intellectual Property Organization. The indicator of the International Property Rights Index for 2020 for the intellectual property market of Ukraine is considered.

The individual nature of intellectual property objects and the existing great disagreement between several inventors in the process of creating such objects have been established. Therefore, the protective results of human intellectual activity can not be measured by the amount spent on their creation of socially necessary labor, in contrast to the tangible assets of the enterprise. The use of traditional pricing approaches depending on the objectives of the assessment is analyzed. In general, for the purposes of commercialization and capitalization to some extent used income, market, cost approaches, so it is advisable to apply a systematic approach to valuing intellectual property for different purposes and conditions of use in business.

The issue of forming a system of factors influencing the size of the company's profit depending on the method of using intellectual property is raised. The advantages and disadvantages of using the intellectual property belonging to the economic entity to protect the monopoly on the product or service produced by him are highlighted; not the use of proprietary intellectual property, but the focus on sales or licensing; purchase of intellectual property or obtaining an exclusive license for it; acquiring a non-exclusive intellectual property license to offer a new product or service in a competitive environment.

The role of patents for innovative activity of the enterprise is formed. The formula for determining the value of a separate patent has been developed and calculations have been made on the example of the industrial property object "Vertical Hydraulic Machine" (patent for invention UA85101) of JSC "Ukrainian Energy Machines".
