TWO-COMPONENT STATISTICAL MODEL OF A NUCLEAR FIREBALL IN THE COOLING STAGE
(FREEZEOUT)
Authors: Krivenko-Emetov Yaroslav
Published: February 2023

The saddle point method is applied to the statistical integral of the Grand
Canonical Ensemble for the cases of one-component and two-component van der Waals gas.
This made it possible to obtain the state equation and corrections to the pressure and
density of the final statistical system. These contributions, taking into account the
realistic effective potential, make it possible to take into account the finite
dimensions of the system and, as expected, can be used, in particular, in the case of a
nuclear fireball that occurs in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. The corrections
depending on the size of the system were compared with the corresponding fluctuations.
These corrections become insignificant at the thermodynamic boundary, where, according
to statistical physics, the difference between the observed thermodynamic quantities
obtained in different statistical ensembles disappears. Taking into account modern
estimates of the sizes of mesons and nucleons, as well as realistic estimates for the
potentials of their effective interactions, formulas for pressure with a transparent
nonrelativistic constraint are obtained. It is expected that they can be used to analyze
experimental data on the quantitative characteristics of the yield of particles of
various types in the final state from the final stages of the freezeout and to determine
the critical parameters of the system in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions.

The most important problem of the automated construction of ontologies based on
the semantic analysis of natural language texts is intellectualization and related data
integration and qualitative information search. However, these technologies require the
availability of quality semantic data sources, and the data sources are not sufficiently
sophisticated to be conveniently used or integrated. In connection with this problem,
the task of automated formation of ontologies based on natural language text analysis in
construction is relevant. A common criterion of the quality of an ontology is based on
the assessment of the convenience and efficiency of working with it, as well as the
presence of a connection between cognitive and semantic processes for its construction
and actualization in the field of construction. The main difference of the conducted
research, the results of which are presented in the proposed work, is a
cognitive-semantic analysis based on the theory of categories, mathematical logic and
universal algebra, algebra of sets, algebra of tuples and relational algebra, namely,
the construction of an ontological dictionary, ontological constructions corresponding
to the text in open languages, presentation of knowledge. In the work, the
classification and definition of information units, their sources, as well as the
features of the information resource are determined.
QMH (Quantifying Mental Health) Key Technologies
Authors: Ternyik Stephen I. , Fermelia Al
Published: February 2023

In order to understand the chaotic nature of mental health, a forensic simulation of the mental health system is under development. This paper discusses the requirements and key technologies based on Ontological Engineering. Ontological engineering is expected to provide a foundation of so-called Content-Directed Artificial Intelligence which relies on the development of an _integrated World Knowledge DataBase _(_WKDB)_ necessary for the understanding of mental health.

Mental health techniques are required in order to develop a mitigation plan for the alleviation fo pain which is of both mental as well as physical. This paper address the requirements for the mitigation of mental pain. Specifically Anxiety and depression are the most common problems, with around 1 in 10 people affected at any one time. How do mental health problems problems affect people? Anxiety and depression can be severe and long-lasting and have a big impact on people's ability to get on with life. Predictions of beliefs and thoughts (good and bad) are brain outputs due to the measured vision, hearing inputs, and autonomic activation of one's residual WKDB.
More Human Than All Too Human: Challenges in Machine Ethics for Humanity Becoming a Space-Faring Civilization
Authors: Du Plessis Guy
Published: February 2023

It is indubitable that machines with artificial intelligence (AI) will be an essential component in humans’ quest to become a spacefaring civilization. Most would agree that long-distance space travel and the colonization of Mars will not be possible without adequately developed AI. Machines with AI have a normative function, but some argue that it can also be evaluated from the perspective of ethical norms. This essay is based on the assumption that machine ethics is an essential philosophical perspective in realizing the aim of humanity becoming a spacefaring civilization. In this essay, I explore two questions in the field of machine ethics, that I believe to be relevant to the role AI will play in long-distance space travel. The first is, should moral theory be extended to include machines with AI, and second, can machines be fully ethical agents? Machines have a normative function, but some argue that they can also be evaluated from the perspective of ethical norms. In this essay, I define AI and then discuss the difference between implicit, explicit and full ethical agents in relation to machines with AI. I then present the argument that the inclusion of moral theory is essential in the development of machines with AI. Without an adequate inclusion of moral theory in the design of AI it may pose an existential threat to humanity, especially in the development of super-intelligent machines. I also highlight that conceptual clarity is essential in the field of machine ethics and the choice of the conceptual foundation that informs AI research and development has ethical implications, especially in the case of super-intelligent machines. This essay is an exploratory and speculative philosophical analysis of certain aspects of machine ethics relevant to long-distance space travel and does not attempt to provide definitive answers to the questions posed in the essay, but instead aims to bring attention to what I deem important considerations.
The two sides of Experienced Crisis: Enabling and preventing Coping strategies during Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Chalari Athanasia
Published: February 2023

This article conceptualises Covid-19 pandemic though the notion of crisis in an attempt to explain how the two different sides of this crisis can prevent or enable coping strategies to emerge and be employed. For this endeavour to be accomplished, this study utilised selected fragments deriving from a larger sample of 46 in-depth interviews with Greek participants (born and raised in Greece) during the April 2020 first lockdown, residing in 23 cities worldwide. This article argues that shared experiences among participants, entail meaning making of the pandemic in terms of a) a fearful crisis through vulnerability and failure as well as b) a hopeful opportunity of improvement through coping strategies. Despite the fatal aftermath of this global crisis, most people have managed to survive it and some of them have even managed to excel through it. Ultimately, portraying crisis as opportunity rather than fear enabled participants to concentrate on means employed to cope with this pandemic.

Authors: Kononenko V. , Obraztsova T. , Ahmad Jawad
Published: February 2023

The development of the system of teaching foreign languages and cultures in institutions of higher education requires regular updating of the components of this system, in particular, modern means of teaching foreign languages and cultures. Among such tools, Kahoot! platform stands out as a means of edutainment technology for the professional competences development, in particular prospective translators, where the grammatical competence occupies a leading place as general foreign language speech competence’s component. The purpose of this article is to substantiate theoretically the effectiveness (feasibility) of using the Kahoot! educational and gaming platform as a means of edutainment technology for the grammatical competencedevelopment of the students – the prospective Arabic language translators. Results. On the basis of the application mentioned above, the teachers of the KNLU Oriental Studies Department created two games on the topic “Numerals in Arabic” and “What time is it?”, which are aimed at developing educational and cognitive, grammatical and orthographic competences. The game is designed for the 1st-year students studying Arabic, majoring in “the Arabic language”. Test tasks, even with low results achieved by those who study, mostly do not cause such negative emotions in them, which can significantly reduce positive motivation to study foreign languages. This is due to the complete objectivity of the test control and its transparency. This can help to solveseveral issues such as, the reading speed of numbers used in Arab countries increases, multiple repetition of certain grammatical clichés increases speed of their construction in the further process of speech activity and also increase student’s motivation to be involved in the studying grammar. Conclusion. Using Kahoot! as a means of modern teaching technology, edutainment in classes on the practice of oral and written speech in the Arabic language contributes to the effective educational, cognitive and grammatical linguistic competence development of the students – the prospective Arabic language translators.

Background and Aim: Considering that the use of port catheters in long-term treatments and the quality of life (QoL) of patients with special conditions, including children, is particularly important, we decided to investigate the effect of the length of the port catheter on the duration of its performance in children. Materials and Methods: All the files of patients referred to the Surgery Department of Hazrat Masoumeh (PBUH) hospital, who underwent catheterization, were examined by observing the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria included patients aged 14 years or younger with proven acute leukemia and the need for long-term intravenous access, survival of more than one week at the time of the patient’s entry into the study, and undergoing aggressive chemotherapy. The exclusion criteria included any contraindication to surgery or local anesthesia, sensitivity to lidocaine or anesthetics, evidence of any contraindication to using a subcutaneous catheter, clinical superior vena cava syndrome, and any mass or anatomical anomaly. A pediatric surgeon performed all ports. In the last stage, all the information related to the research was extracted from the existing files of these patients and analyzed with SPSS software, version 22. Results: In this study, the infection rate was 4(3.3%), bacteremia rate 5(4.2%), and thrombosis 13(10.8%). No statistically significant relationship was observed between the frequency of catheter port complications (infection, bacteremia, and thrombosis) with the gender of the patients or the catheter length. Furthermore, it was found that with the increase in the length of the catheter port, the time of complications also increased, and this increase was statistically significant. Conclusion: Considering the complications of catheter port, the correct way to use and how to take care of the catheter during the treatment of patients should be optimally done.

Introduction: Consumers are essential in the economic system because the economy practically collapses without effective their demand. Aim: This study examines the relationship between psychological and personality traits with consumer behavior factors. Method: The research method is descriptive-correlational. The population includes the consumers of sports clubs in Tehran in 2021-2022. Because of the infinite population and according to Morgan's table, 356 people were selected by random cluster sampling. The research tool is Costa and McCrae's (1992) Standard Personality Traits Questionnaire, Zhou's (2009) Consumer Behavior Questionnaire, and a researcher-made psychological traits questionnaire. Pearson correlation and regression coefficients in SPSS and Amos 23 are used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that the relationship model of psychological and personality traits fits well with consumer behavior factors. Also, according to the results of the correlation test, there is a positive relationship between personality traits (extraversion, flexibility, adaptability, and conscientiousness) and psychological traits (perception, motivation, learning, attitude, psychology health, and cognitive intelligence) with consumer behavior factors (P≤0.05) and a significant negative relationship between psychosis and consumer behavior factors (p=0.001, rho=-0.586). Conclusion: The results showed that personality and psychological traits significantly affect consumer behavior. Therefore; psychological and personality variables related to consumer behavior should be taken into account.

It is known that an important extremal problem in a linear normed space is the classic problemofSteiner, which consists in finding in the set of this space a point (a point of Steiner) to which the sum of the distances from several fixed points of the space would be minimal[1, p.314].In this problem is assumed that all segments of linear normed space are «homogeneous». However, in practice, their lengths often have different «weight»characteristics. We come to the problem of findingin the setof the linear normed space of such a point, that the sum of the weight distance from several fixed points of this space to this pointwould be minimal[2, p. 468;3;4].The generalizedSteiner’s problem in a polynormed space is considered in the article.This problem is obtained as a result of replacing in classic Steiner's problem the sum of the distances from fixed points of linear space to the points of the set of its admissible elements, which are determined by one norm by the sum of the distances from the above-mentioned points with positive weighting coefficients, which are determined by the corre-sponding different norms determined on this linear space.It is clear that the above extremal problems are special cases of the generalized Steiner’s problem in polynormed space.A special case of this problem is also the problem of the best approxi-mation of an element of a linear normalized space by a convex set of this space, which has been studied by many authors.The main results of research for the problem of the best approximation of an element of a linear normed space are summarized, in particular, in the monographs of N.I. Ahiezer [5], V.K. Dzyadyk [6], M.P. Korney-chuk [7], O.I. Stepants [8,9] and others.In this article the conditions of extremalof an allowable element for the generalized problem of steiner in polynormed space, which generalize the re-sults obtained, in particular for the above special cases are established

Published: February 2023

We discuss whether on not it is possible to have interpolatory estimates in the approximation of a function of Sobolev`s space by polynomials. The prob-lem of positive approximation is to estimate the pointwise degree of approxi-mation of a function of r times continuously differentiable and positive func-tions on [0, 1]. Estimates of the form (1) for positive approximation are known ([1, 2]). The problem of monotone approximation is that of estimating the de-gree of approximation of a monotone nondecreasing function bymonotone nondecreasing polynomials. Estimates of the form (1) for monotone approxi-mation were proved in [3, 4, 7]. In [3, 4] is consider r is natural and r not equal one. In [7] is consider r is real and rmore two. It was proved that for monotone approximation estimates of the form (1) are fails for r is real and r more two. The problem of convex approximation is that of estimating the degree of ap-proximation of a convex function by convex polynomials. The problem of con-vex approximation is consider in [8-10]. In [8] is consider r is natural and r not equal one. In [9] is consider r is real and r more two. It was proved that for con-vex approximation estimates of the form (1) are fails for r is real and r more two. In [10] the question of approximation of function of Sobolev`s space and convex by algebraic convex polynomial is consider, if the index of the Sobolev space is in the interval from three to four. It is proved that the estimate that gen-eralizes (1) is false This paper investigates the issue of approximation of con-vex functions from the Sobolev space by convex algebraic polynomials for a real index of the Sobolev space from the interval from two to three.Similarly to the paper [10], a counterexample is built, which shows that the estimate that generalizes the estimate (1) is false.This paper isthe generalization of results papers [9] and [11]. The main result is the analog of the theorem 2.3 in [11].

The results of the research into the influence of polymer components ratio - high density polyethylene and low density polyethylene, into the regularity of changes in thermomechanical properties are presented. The deformation was measured at varying temperatures and at a constant load of 0.5 kg/cm2 . The concentration of low density polyethylene varied from 10 to 100 wt%. Depending upon the test temperature, two physical states were recorded: solid and viscous-flow. It found that as the concentration of low-density polyethylene in the composition of the polymer mixture rose, the transition temperature in the softened state and the transition temperature in the viscous-flow state dropped. The differential thermal analysis curves showed that at low concentrations of high density polyethylene, two-phase systems were formed in the polymer system. The study of composites based on aluminum hydroxide and a mixture of high and low density polyethylene revealed a wave-like change in softening and viscous-flow temperatures.

ПРИКЛАДНІ АСПЕКТИ КОМУНІКАТИВНИХ БАР’ЄРІВ У СУЧАСНОМУ СУСПІЛЬСТВІ
Authors: Орел Анна , Жмайлов Валерій
Published: February 2023

У даній статті досліджено практичні аспекти, види та пошуки напрямів застосування і подолання комунікативних бар’єрів у сучасному суспільстві. Розглянуто застосування комунікативних бар’єрів у спілкуванні, які зумовлені різними чинниками впливу. Досліджено їх виникнення, умови та причини виникнення та направлення. А головним є усвідомлення важливості і дотримання нормальних людських взаємин як у суспільстві так і робочих стосунках у будь-якій діяльності. З даного аналізу можна одержати якісний результат, який закладається у розумінні і дає ефект терпіння до особистості або ж партнера зі спілкування та комунікації один з одним. Вивчення даної проблематики щодо подолання комунікативних бар’єрів, як правило, є наслідком процесу спілкування де не приділяється достатньої уваги вивченню психології до комунікації. Наукове дослідження показало, що не в достатній мірі враховуються фактори професійної та робочої адаптації особистості до нового для неї колективу, а також налагодження певних ділових та індивідуальних контактів з людьми.

Ресторанно-готельний бізнес найбільше зазнав негативного впливу пандемії і продовжує знаходитися в умовах невизначеності та тотальної залежності від умов зовнішнього середовища. Запровадження карантинних обмежень зумовило перехід ринку до більш технологічних та автоматизованих форм роботи на заміну традиційним. Ситуація, що склалася, спонукає ресторанно-готельну індустрію переорієнтовуватися на інший формат ведення бізнесу, адаптований до існуючих умов, враховуючи всі загрози та ризики, що стрімко змінилися через пандемію.

The author updates the problems of general uncertainty and riskiness of the economic activity of enterprises with the major crises of recent years: the Covid-19 pandemic and the military invasion of Russia, which caused additional specific risks for which most enterprises were not prepared. Having shown flexibility and adaptability, studying the experience of other countries, most enterprises overcame the crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic, managed to cope with unexpected risks in their activities, and found ways to overcome and eliminate them. However, the military threat from Russia posed new challenges. Threats provoked by Russian military aggression and the introduction of martial law in Ukraine made significant adjustments to the management system of enterprises, increasing the factor of unpredictability of events and the unpredictability of the development of the situation, the appearance of additional specific risks that are not inherent in normal activities in peacetime. In such conditions, there is not enough flexibility and ability to adapt to external conditions in enterprise management, special attention is paid to the introduction of risk-oriented management and the reorientation of its mechanisms in accordance with the special conditions of the military state. The author analyzed the analytics and characterized the risks of wartime. Attention is focused on the possibility of finding enterprises in a state of immediate hostilities and in a state of remote location. The risks associated with threats to people's lives, accidents, destruction of property, as a result of military operations, which make the production process impossible, are analyzed. Risks of complicating logistic support of material and technical support, risks of shortage of certain raw materials, materials, experienced employees, spare parts, etc. For all outlined risks that threaten enterprises during military operations, ways of overcoming or minimizing them were developed.

The fight against money laundering and terrorist financing takes place on different levels and with the use of various tools. FATF is an important actor in this struggle. This group pays considerable attention to the assessment and identification of countries and territories that are considered to be deficient in their AML/CFT regulatory regimes. The purpose of the article is to reveal the features and consequences of using FATF black and gray lists as tools in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: analysis and synthesis, logical generalization, comparison. The latest changes to the FATF lists are described and analyzed. It was determined that since the initial implementation of this tool, approaches to its use have changed significantly, and the analysis of recent changes shows its dynamism. The negative consequences of the impact on the economy of countries due to the use of the FATF black and gray lists are systematized in two groups: stimulating (which should accelerate the implementation of measures by the country's leadership to eliminate identified deficiencies in the area of AML/CFT); progressive (caused by increased control over the country's financial system and restrictions on correspondent relations between participants of the regulated banking system). The impact of the FATF lists on the economy of a number of countries is reflected. The effectiveness of using this tool is confirmed by empirical data. It has been established that the FATF lists as instruments of AML/CFT have an ambiguous relationship. On the one hand, the experience of countries that have made significant progress in complying with the FATF action plan shows that FATF lists are a powerful tool in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. On the other hand, the ambiguity of approaches in its application to all countries indicates the political nature of the process of listing and exclusion from them. This is a confirmation of the need for further study and refinement of the requirements for the formation of FATF lists.
