A T-spherical fuzzy ELECTRE approach for multiple criteria assessment problem from a comparative perspective of score functions
Authors: Wang Jih-Chang , Chen Ting-Yu
Published: August 2021

The theory involving T-spherical fuzziness provides an exceptionally good tool to efficiently manipulate the impreciseness, equivocation, and vagueness inherent in multiple criteria assessment and decision-making processes. By exploiting the notions of score functions and distance measures for complex T-spherical fuzzy information, this paper aims to propound an innovational T-spherical fuzzy ELECTRE (ELimination Et Choice Translating REality) approach to handling intricate and convoluted evaluation problems. Several newly-created score functions are employed from the comparative perspective to constitute a core procedure concerning concordance and discordance determination in the current T-spherical fuzzy ELECTRE method. By the agency of a realistic application, this paper appraises the usefulness and efficacy of available score functions in the advanced ELECTRE mechanism under T-spherical fuzzy uncertainties. This paper incorporates two forms of Minkowski distance measures into the core procedure; moreover, the effectuality of the advocated measure in differentiating T-spherical fuzzy information is validated. The effectiveness outcomes of the evolved method have been investigated through the medium of an investment decision regarding potential company options for extending the business scope. The real-world application also explores the comparative advantages of distinct score functions in tackling multiple criteria decision-making tasks. Finally, this paper puts forward a conclusion and future research directions.

Authors: Ahmed Umair , Karimi Hossein , Gilani Syed Amir , Ahmad Ashfaq
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: The Stroke Impact Scale version 3.0 (SIS 3.0) is a self-reported outcome measure designed to assess quality of life (QoL) following a stroke. Although the psychometric properties of the SIS 3.0 are identified as superior to the generic QoL scales, it has not been translated and tested in Pakistan. OBJECTIVE: To validate the Urdu version of the SIS 3.0 (USIS 3.0) for Pakistan. METHODS: A prospective cohort of 116 patients with mild to moderate stroke reported their recovery using the USIS 3.0. The patients were concurrently assessed on the established tools to assess the validity and were re-evaluated to determine the test-retest reliability, precision, minimal detectable change (MDC), and minimal clinically important difference (MCID). RESULTS: The reliability and internal consistency of USIS were satisfactory except for the emotion domain. The correlations of USIS with the established tools were strong. The discriminant validity was also significant across the levels of the modified Rankin scale (MRS). Only hand function and communication domains exhibited significant floor and ceiling effects, respectively. Regarding weighted K, values ranged from 0.53 to 0.88. CONCLUSIONS: The USIS 3.0 has satisfactory psychometric properties and can be used in clinical and research settings for stroke survivors.

Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: With the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations embraced Work From Home (WFH). An important component of transitioning to WFH is the effect on workers, particularly related to their productivity and work experience. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to examine how worker-, workspace-, and work-related factors affected productivity and time spent at a workstation on a typical WFH day during the pandemic. METHODS: An online questionnaire was designed and administered to collect the necessary information. Data from 988 respondents were included in the analyses. RESULTS: Overall perception of productivity level among workers did not change relative to their in-office productivity before the pandemic. Female, older, and high-income workers were likely to report increased productivity. Productivity was positively influenced by better mental and physical health statuses, having a teenager, increased communication with coworkers and having a dedicated room for work. Number of hours spent at a workstation increased by approximately 1.5 hours during a typical WFH day. Longer hours were reported by individuals who had school age children, owned an office desk or an adjustable chair, and had adjusted their work hours. CONCLUSION: The findings highlight key factors for employers and employees to consider for improving the WFH experience.
Stress-strain state of the building foundations with taking into account the possible water saturation of loess soils
Authors: Zhuk Veronika , Piatkov Oleksandr , Tarambula Sergiy
Published: August 2021

In Ukraine, the problem of construction on loess soils is relevant due to the widespread use of these soils and their negative property - the ability to give additional deformations of subsidence during water saturation. Flooding of territories by groundwater, emergency leaks from aquifers cause significant problems during the exploitation of buildings and engineering structures on such soils.

Computer simulation of the interaction of the building with the soil base allows to investigate the influence of all negative factors on the change of the stress-strain state of both the soil base and the load-bearing structures of the building.

The study of the interaction of the building with the foundation was performed using the software package LIRA-CAD. The interaction of the building with the soil base, the soils of which are able to reduce their mechanical properties with increasing humidity and give additional subsidence deformations, was studied. A variant design of the foundations was performed taking into account the occurrence of uneven deformations during subsidence of the loess soil due to its moistening in case of possible emergency losses from aquifers. The change of stress-strain state of the foundations of the building depending on the spatial rigidity of the foundation, the location of the soaking zone within the building spot, the shape and size of the zone of soil moisture is analyzed.

It is shown that taking into account the possible water saturation of loess soils when calculating the collaborate of the building with the soil base, allows to obtain stress-strain state of foundations and load-bearing structures of the aboveground part of the building for the most unfavorable conditions that may occur. The search for the optimal variant of the foundation structures of the building, which, while remaining cost-effective, provides reliable operation of the building in conditions of possible occurrence of uneven deformations of subsidence of the soil base during water saturation of the layer of loess soils.

According to the research results, a rational variant of the foundation structures has been designed taking into account the possible occurrence of non-uniform deformations.

Authors: Golub Kristina
Published: August 2021

The article analyzes the scientific works of scientists in the field of engineering and architectural design that have influenced on intelligent office buildings formation.

The main criteria for assessing the intelligent buildings in Asia, Europe and America are considered. There are differences in approaches in different parts of the world. Particularly in Asia, the system takes into account the impact on the environment, employee health, comfortable working conditions, the introduction of modern technologies, safety, return on investment, etc. The assessment system named Intelligent Building Index (IBI) consists of 10 Quality Environment Modules (QEM), which have different weights depends on intelligent building type. The second level of the IBI method included a list of 378 criteria, each of which was evaluated by a system of 1 to 100 points.

In Europe, it focuses on the interaction of intelligent buildings with humans and the environment, also on minimizing energy consumption and operating costs. In most European countries, intelligent buildings are assessed by Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, BREEAM.

In the United States, priority approaches are related to the principles of sustainability and adaptability to rapid changes in technology and human needs. One of the most common criteria for assessing buildings in the United States is the system Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, LEED.

The basic architectural methods are singled out: using the wind generators and photovoltaic elements on facades; the arrangement of facades with double glazing; application of automatic blinds between two layers of glazing, etc. It is proved that the intelligent building is not a usual building that just uses an automation building management system (BMS), but first of all, is an "intelligent architecture" with providing sustainable principles and requiring an integrated approach from the first designing stage.

Published: August 2021

Use of digital geodetic support technologies with the use of GNSS satellite systems in combination with electronic geodetic instruments, introduction of new methods of construction of geodetic networks, collection of information by ground and aerospace surveying, unification of exchange formats of measurement results based on computer technologies and their application conditions. Substantiation and development of remote methods of spatial information collection requires analysis and consideration of a number of errors in order to improve accuracy.

Wikimapia is a map project for shared use with open content, which aims to identify all geographical objects with the introduction of useful information about them. It combines an interactive web map and a Wiki system.

One of the features of the Wikimapia resource is that it is possible to determine geographical coordinates. To do this, you need to move the cross cursor on the object of interest and get its coordinates visually.

The purpose of the study was to determine the accuracy of the coordinates of GPS receivers Garmin Oregon 450 in the built-up area, using as a basis for calibration, the resource "Wikimapia".

In order to determine the accuracy of the location with the help of GARMIN Oregon 450 GPS receivers, GNSS measurements were performed at 30 marker points.

Ellipsoidal coordinates were recalculated into spatial rectangles according to known formulas.

In order to assess the accuracy of determining the location of marker points, the differences in the coordinates of their position were found and the root mean square error from a number of measurements was found.

The average error of coordinate measurements was ± 4.79 m for the GPS receiver.

Based on experimental research, the possibility of using the resource "Wikimapia" not only to quickly determine the coordinates of topographic objects, determine their categories, but also with sufficient accuracy to apply for the calibration of navigation GNSS receivers when there is no network of geodetic points.

A promising direction in the process of scientific and practical research should be the creation of a general mathematical model for predicting the influence of the plurality on the location and improvement of navigation aids.

The analysis of the results of the examination of the technical condition of buildings and structures of enterprises in the sphere of public utilities has been carried out. The basic principles and methods of functional and technological renovation of architectural objects are revealed, accompanied by the transformation of the architectural space and planning schemes of industrial buildings and structures. A number of architectural and structural studies have been carried out in the direction of finding optimal technical solutions for repair, restoration of operational ability and reconstruction of industrial architecture objects in the field of public services for the purpose of their renovation. Technical reports based on the results of technical condition survey of building constructions of buildings and structures exploited for a long time, especially if there were long breaks in exploitation and maintenance, should include a section “Activities to renovate the object”. There is a need to adjust the regulatory framework for design and construction in order to speed up the process of “survey – renovation project – construction of the object”, as well as to restore and improve the base of the construction industry for the implementation of renovation projects. Complicating factors in the process of developing renovation projects of buildings and structures are the lack of design documentation for most facilities, lack of quality certificates for building structures and materials of buildings and structures, the long process from technical inspection to implementation of working design documentation, lack of interest of city authorities in development and renovation of service facilities.

Authors: Kocheryhin Leonid , Gladilin Valerij
Published: August 2021

In our time, the problem of proper water disposal systems is acute. Surface water disposal systems.is an engineering system, the main purpose of which is the timely removal of melt and rainwater from the site. This system must work smoothly, because the accumulation of moisture entails many negative consequences for structures, soil, plants, and the like. The rainwater from the site should be as thought out and implemented as much as possible, taking into account the characteristics of each type of site. Special attention should be paid to water disposal systems from highways. Excess water on transport routes and streets poses a very serious hazard to drivers, passengers and pedestrians. In addition, it is the reason for disruptions in transport links.

The installation of such a system in the streets should ensure the strength and stability of road structures, as well as create favorable conditions for the operational use of city roads because of the rapid and complete removal of surface water entering the street gutter of a stormwater drainage system. This system is an integral part of the general stormwater drainage system from the territory of the settlement. Therefore, its design is carried out in conjunction with the general drainage system from all over the city and is called stormwater sewer system (drains). That is, it is a sewer that consists of rainwater catchments, sand traps, rainwater gutters, pipes and catch basins. Its primary purpose is to dispose rain, melt water and surface water from internal drainage systems of buildings, too, after watering and washing the streets, receiving water release from drainage systems, from drainage of tram tracks and road drainage of shallow foundation, etc.

Therefore, the design of drainage systems in the streets and on the roads is carried out in compliance with the norms and rules specified in DBN B.2.5-75 and DBN B 2.3-5: 2018.

Published: August 2021

Conservation and restoration of architectural, historical and cultural heritage is of great importance for the development of cities, regions and the country as a whole. An illustrative example of this is the approach and experience of European countries. These countries have a rich and world-famous architectural, cultural and historical heritage, a high level of education, high living standards, environmental friendliness and high technology, and has become the main competitive advantage in the world.

The modern idea of reconstruction, restoration and protection of monuments is not limited to attention to outstanding architectural monuments, as well as the historical and cultural heritage of the urban environment. An architectural monument is a work of historical, scientific, artistic and cultural value that has retained sufficient completeness of architectural forms for protection or restoration. The main purpose of the restoration of the monument is to preserve its historical authenticity. Through the reconstruction and restoration of monuments, the country attracts investors and develops tourism. Thus, the preservation and restoration of monuments can play a significant role in shaping modern society, as described by famous thinkers and writers.

Cultural and architectural heritage sites are important assets that can be profita-ble and significantly affect the economic development of cities. Monuments of archi-tecture, culture and history are important to preserve not only because of their uniqueness, but also because they have historical and economic value for the state. The article analyzes the need to preserve the architectural heritage, considers examples of already restored buildings in Ukraine, and presents an architectural object that should be restored.

The article considers aspects of the search for alternative architectural and construction solutions in the private construction of a peasant's yard.

It is proposed to ensure the appropriate level of energy and economic efficiency of buildings through the use of traditional for the folk architecture of North-Eastern Ukraine local environmentally friendly materials and construction techniques. Such techniques allow to achieve stylish national aesthetics and architectural expressiveness at the same time. The article examines the dynamics of changes in temperature parameters of the Sumy region for the period 2010-2020. which affect the architectural and planning decisions of buildings and structures. The conclusion about the tendency of the general increase of settlement temperatures of external air in the winter period is made. The general calculations of energy losses of the house from available local materials of a natural origin on heating on engineering maintenance are carried out. Examples of the use of such materials in private housing construction of farms in Sumy region are analyzed. The comparative characteristic of cost of a country house from ecological materials with cost of a usual modern private house of a middle class is resulted. The conclusion about the economic expediency of construction of small and average individual peasant cottage from local natural materials is made. The first is the ability to use available local materials at low prices. Secondly - the ability to independently perform a significant amount of simple construction work. Third - high energy efficiency and environmental safety of such a building. Fourth - a fairly high fire safety, durability and mechanical stability of building structures when applying the necessary protective measures. The integration of such buildings into modern the planning structure will diversify the architectural environment and create the national color of Ukrainian villages and towns.

Authors: Veres Mariia
Published: August 2021

The article analyzes the historical and cultural heritage of Polish rural public school architecture at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries. The evolution of the architecture of educational spaces in Poland, which took place under the influence of a combination of cultural and national traditions and a complex set of socio-political, socio-economic, internal and external factors, was considered. General concepts of styles of school facades, planning features of small schools, performed a spatial analysis of school spaces and identified its planning features.

The architecture of Polish public schools in the second half of the 1920’s was largely influenced by the requirements of the new school reform accepted after the First World War. Elements that fit the postulates of school reform began to be used, but above all, it reflected conservative building traditions. Architects, in the spirit of the era, in the construction of school buildings referred to the ideas of modernism. The size and shape of windows has increased, corridors have expanded, toilets in schools have been designed, and even fountains for drinking water in school corridors. The size and number of classrooms and furnishings have also changed. As a result, it has formed a more comfortable and fully adapted modern school premises.

The schools were built mainly on the initiative and funds of local communities and philanthropists. Most of the schools built during that period are still operational. The projects of these schools have developed interiors and provided typical layout of the school grounds, used advanced engineering, design and hygiene solutions that suited the spirit of the era and fully met the needs of teachers and students. That is why till now the Polish public schools are of great importance for the history of the Polish people and world architecture history.
SPATIAL-FUNCTIONAL METHOD LAND ORDER FORMATION OF AGRICULTURE LANDSCAPE RESISTANCE

Published: August 2021

Peculiarities of natural conditions of the territory of Ukraine have historically determined mainly the agricultural use of its lands, the indirect consequence of which was the formation of agro-landscapes as a specific form of spatial realization of anthropogenic activity. The study of agrolandscapes, a comprehensive assessment of their condition and development trends, development and implementation of adequate land management solutions are a key task to avoid degradation, especially arable land. In the context of the above, the shortcomings of modern proposals and indicators for assessing the state of agricultural landscapes and their land management are considered and identified. Concerns about the recommendations of domestic scientists and practitioners to transform about 12 million hectares of arable land into other lands are justified. The motivation for this decision was the idea of excessive plowing of the territory of Ukraine, although world experience provides positive evidence of successful agriculture, even under such conditions. Allegations of insufficient study of the problem of land management formation of sustainable agrolandscapes are given. It is proposed to use the term "sustainable" for the agro-landscape, the state of which corresponds to the ecological and social-industrial conditions of land use. Systematic analysis of the structural components (lands) of the agro-landscape revealed the significant role of their interaction in creating and maintaining a microclimate favorable for crop production in adverse natural conditions. The legitimacy and expediency and practical efficiency of using the spatial-functional method of land management formation of the stability of agro-landscapes are substantiated.

ACTUALITY OF CONDUCTING MODULAR TESTING IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Kudryavtsev Oleg
Published: August 2021

The testing process in creating software, as a separate stage, has its own life cycle. The testing lifecycle is part of the entire software cycle, and they must be synchronized with each other. Designing and developing testing in creating new software systems is a complex and time consuming task. The work of any software system is organized as a set of modules that can perform various functions. To ensure the correct operation of the system as a whole, you must first test each software module separately. In case of defects, this procedure will make it easier to identify the problem in the modules and completely eliminate the relevant shortcomings. Testing all modules separately is called modular testing. The article examines the main aspects of modular testing. The software life cycle is considered and the stages of the computer program development cycle are graphically presented. It is investigated that one of the most important stages is the stage software testing. The main definitions concept of "testing" are analyzed in detail and the main types of testing process are listed. It is established that modular testing is one of the most important types of testing. Modular testing is considered to be the simplest step in testing the entire system because the modules to be tested are usually small in size. When using this method, the complexity of creating test cases increases. To put the whole system into operation, you need to set the values of the test variables correctly, and to bring part of the real system to the required state, you need to run the whole scenario. However, modular testing is associated with significant problems, which are explored in the article. The main tasks and approaches to modular testing are evaluated. The article thoroughly reveals the characteristics of modular testing as a method of structural testing.

THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF CONFLICT MANAGEMENT STUDIES IN TAX LEGAL RELATIONS
Authors: Chaika Larysa , Chaika Viktoriia
Published: August 2021

This paper discusses the problems of conflicts that may be from time to time initiated and settled in the field tax legal relations. The emphasis is placed on the suggestion that the evolution of scientific concepts of conflict is based on the interdisciplinary approach: the paper concludes on the impossibility of separating the philosophical, social, psycholinguistic and legal aspects of the conflict. Complex and systematic analysis of the "conflict" category using the integrative approach has been performed as part of the research. Differentiated state-of-art approaches to the conflict as a subject of scientific analysis may be classified into two primary groups: 1) the approaches, where the conflict is considered in a narrow specific sense; 2) the approaches where the conflict is studied from interdisciplinary perspective. It is determined that any conflict is based on certain confrontation that plays a systemically important framework role both for individual types of conflicts, and for different level of scientific conflict studies. Nevertheless, is concluded that the presence of such confrontation only creates prerequisites for possible behaviour, while the interpersonal relations – i.e. the social category – are pivotal for individual choice of specific communicative interaction strategy. The legal nature and attributive properties of tax conflicts are also discussed from the financial law perspective. The paper distinguishes five specific groups of factors that confirm the actual presence of conflict tax legal relations. The special attention is paid to the tax dispute characterization (as one of the tax conflict development stages) and the remedies available for taxpayer rights protections. In particular, the paper discusses the issues of the taxpayer legal self-defense as the guaranty of subjective rights exercise and lawful interests protection in legal relations as a key for prevention of tax conflicts and disputes. Finally, the reasons are given to substantiate the conclusion that the tax dispute basically comes down to a mechanism of guaranteeing the interested party’s subjective rights enforcement and the balance of public and private interests in the field of taxation.

Published: August 2021

In the context of global consumer and financial market formation, international economic institutions, taking into account special aspects of the present stage in economic development in Ukraine, it becomes necessary to focus enterprises on their own goods competitiveness not only in the domestic, but, moreover, at the foreign markets. In order to achieve objectives in view the enterprise should make maximum use of its internal resources, explore the market environment, predict its development and demands, using all tools of the strategic marketing. Special attention should be paid to the development of marketing strategies since they determine the enterprise course of action and they are aimed at achieving stated targets. Marketing strategy formation is one the most important and essential marketing stages at the enterprise.
Marketing strategy is one of the main long-term plans of the enterprise marketing activity, aimed at choosing target consumer segments. It combines elements of marketing complex, basing on which the enterprise creates its effective marketing events targeted to the marketing goals achieving. Successfully chosen and effectively implemented strategy provides enterprise the opportunity to gain competitive advantage not only in the domestic market, but additionally meet demands of international consumers. Based on research of the issue the article highlights the main features of the management system in the strategic development of marketing strategy at the enterprise.
The article substantiates the necessity of using marketing approach to the management of enterprises and the finding the new ways in the formation of appropriate organisational structures. Marketing approach to the management of enterprise characterises it as a complex system that allows to link the capabilities of this economic entity with the needs of the market and gain advantages over competitors. It was defined the main factors influencing the organisation of marketing activities of enterprises (external and internal) and factors influencing the behaviour of their end users (social, informational and consumer attitudes).
UNIVERSITY EDUCATION AS A MODERN EUROPEAN
TREND OF INITIAL POLICE TRAINING
Authors: Berendieieva Anastasia
Published: August 2021

The article is devoted to the issues of police education reform. Modern countries have different models of initial police training, based on their historical traditions and modern conditions of functioning of states. The author explored the current situation of police training in England, focusing on the Initial Police Learning and Development Program (IPLDP), because this program was the main among all other police training programs, but now this program is outdated. The author revealed that the current trend in the world is to increase the role of higher education institutions in the education system for training police officers. The example of England and Wales shows that the system of initial training, which is based on short-term training at the level of the police academy with subsequent service in practical units, does not meet the needs of the time and is outdated.
The global trend is to reorient police training from specific practical knowledge, skills and abilities to higher education and the formation of a person with critical thinking and analytical skills, which meets the current challenges facing the police in the fight against crime. The author argues that such training can be carried out only with the involvement of higher education institutions. As examples, some empirical studies confirm this fact. It is pointed out that it is very important for a modern police officer to perform not only a profession, but also an education in this field in order to perform his / her duties.
The author analyzes the opinions of foreign researchers on the advantages of university education over training in police academies. The author touches on the issue of reforming police education in Ukraine in terms of introducing a three-level model of police training and proposes to conduct additional research on both modern foreign experience and the advantages, disadvantages and prospects of the proposed model.

This paper investigates Arabic and English morphemes with to identifying the similarities and differences between them. The differences between the two languages might be the main reason for making errors by Arab learners. It might help both teachers and learners to overcome these problems. By identifying the morphological differences between the two languages, teachers will determine how and what to teach, on the one hand, and students will know how and what to focus on when learning the target language, on the other. The Paper will shed light on phonological terms such as: "phonem, allophones, intonation, and accentuation" and their equivalents in English in order to identify the appropriate or opposing signs that affect the specificity of the sounds. We have followed the descriptive and analysis research methods. The results of study on morphemes have an interrogative and exclamatory function, and we find that the morpheme “what” is distinguished from the morpheme “ما”, which has other uses such as negation, infinitive, extra and accentuation.

У роботі було розглянуто існуючі методи та алгоритми пошуку R-зубців у ЕКГ сигналі, проаналізовано роботу цих методів та алгоритмів на сигналі з підвищеним рівнем шуму. Також було розглянуто різні типи та природу утворення шумів в ЕКГ сигналі та методи їх зменшення. У результаті цієї роботи було розроблено власний алгоритм пошуку QRS комплексу та R-зубців у реальному часі. Метою роботи є розробка алгоритму пошуку R-зубців у реальному часі для ЕКГ сигналу, записаного з нестандартних відведень. Реалізація поставленої мети передбачає запис ЕКГ сигналу з поверхні голови людини, фільтрацію сигналу та розробку алгоритму детектування QRS комплексу. Методологія вирішення поставленого завдання полягає в пошуку шаблону QRS комплексу у диференційному сигналі згідно з нахилом фронтів R-зубця на трьох точках та інтервалу між цими точками. Наукова новизна. Запропонований алгоритм дозволяє значно покращити пошук QRS комплексу з ЕКГ сигналу з підвіщеним рівнем шуму. Представлений алгоритм не потребує значних обчислювальних потужностей, тому може використовуватись в натільних пристроях з малопотужними мікроконтролерами для підвищення точності замірів серцевої діяльності у повсякденному житті. Висновки. Отримані результати та алгоритм можуть бути використані для подальшої розробки та досліджень. Всі отримані результати представлені в графічному вигляді з детальним описом в даній роботі.

This article introduces a database of bus stop spacings for 43 cities in the United States derived from GTFS files published in late 2019. Weighting each spacing by the number of times a bus traverses it, we produce distributions and summary statistics. The overall mean spacing is 313 meters. Las Vegas’ RTC has the widest mean spacing (482 m) and Philadelphia’s SEPTA the narrowest (214 m). We also compare spacings within agencies’ “core’” cities to those outside.
