Mangrove forests are one of the forests that have been damaged. Human activities on the coast often ignore the preservation of mangrove forests. Coastal and marine areas of Indonesia have the highest biodiversity in the world (mega biodiversity). The research method used is a descriptive method, namely a method that focuses on solving actual problems that exist today. Solving actual problems is carried out through stages of activities including; data collection, compiling, analyzing, interpreting and making conclusions. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be seen that the capture fisheries business carried out by fishermen can optimally improve the standard of living of fishermen, which is carried out through efforts to increase production and productivity with the support of government policies in the fisheries sector. In order to increase the contribution of income from fisheries businesses run by fishermen, it can be done by implementing efforts to increase productivity supported by improving the quality of results. Thus, the goal of national development to improve the welfare of fishermen can be achieved
Understanding the Paradox of Unethical Pro-Organizational Behavior: Development and Validation of a New Thought Experiment Measure
Authors: Liu Chuanjun , Zou Lemei , Wu Junhong , Wang Taolin , Abbas Syed Zain
Published: February 2025

Previous studies have highlighted the paradoxical nature of unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB), yet no measurement tools specifically targeting this paradox have been developed. To address this gap, this study introduces a new thought experiment measure. In the scenario development and content validation stage, we created seven UPB thought experiment scenarios validated in Sample 1 (N=145) and Sample 2 (N=39). In the psychometric testing stage, we assessed reliability (Sample 3, N=305; Sample 4, N=208), structural validity (Samples 3, 4, and 5), and convergent and discriminant validity (Sample 5, N=835). In the nomological testing and theoretical exploration stage, the new measure was well predicted by its nomological network (Sample 6, N=977), and the theoretical predictions from the dual-process model of morality were supported in a randomized experiment (Sample 7, N=227). This new thought experiment measure depicts the paradoxical nature of UPB and paves the way for exploring UPB as a moral dilemma in the workplace. With this new measure, future studies can further examine UPB from a dilemma perspective and gain deeper insights into the UPB decision-making process.

Published: February 2025

The use of water in the domestic, agricultural, and industrial sectors is necessary for human prosperity and survival. Recognizing the need to understand water scarcity and human contributions to it, various studies have been done over the years, necessitating access to reliable, comprehensive data on historical and projected water use across all sectors. Despite progress in this direction, a significant challenge persists in finding datasets that maintain consistency at both national and subnational levels at the intersection between historical and future projections. This inconsistency is likely attributed to factors such as discordant socio-economical data at the transition between historical and future periods (e.g., GDP, population dynamics, livestock density, land use) and the independent creation of past and scenario datasets without concerted efforts for harmonization. Addressing these issues, this study presents a first holistic approach to harmonize two existing water use datasets across all sectors, encompassing both past and projected periods. The methodology and insights gained from this process are discussed, highlighting the achievement of a fully consistent dataset. The harmonized dataset offers utility for a broad spectrum of applications at the interface between humans, water, and climate.
Justifications of Moral Responsibility Attribution towards a Humanoid Robot
Authors: O'Reilly Ziggy , Marchesi Serena , Wykowska Agnieszka
Published: February 2025

As robots increasingly participate in society it is crucial to understand which factors influence the degree to which individuals attribute moral responsibility towards them. In a previously reported study, participants read vignettes about a humanoid robot causing either a negative or a positive consequence. Participants rated the moral responsibility and intentionality of the robot, and explained the reasoning behind their ratings. In this paper we (1) conducted an exploratory cluster analysis on their textual justifications of their moral responsibility ratings using word-embeddings and (2) investigated the correlation between moral responsibility ratings and the proportion of words participants use from each cluster. We found that participants who used more words from the “event detection” cluster were more likely to attribute higher moral responsibility to the humanoid robot. Conversely, those who used more words from the “mechanistic properties” cluster tended to attribute less moral responsibility to the humanoid robot. These findings illustrate that moral responsibility attributions could be influenced by the proportion to which individuals refer to events and mechanistic properties.
The Promise: A Breakthrough for Social Science
Authors: Oliveira Bruno Sérgio Dias
Published: February 2025

This article orbits the promise of Sociology and presents the sociology of promises — or, more precisely, the science of promises, aimed at addressing all sociological curiosities and encompassing all that is sociological. In introducing the General Social Theory of Compromises (G-STOC), a framework designed to overcome the fragmentation of traditional social theories and address their limitations in explaining social behavior, a breakthrough is presented in eight main takeaways that are simultaneously ontological, epistemological and theoretical: (1) social coercive powers derive from actual or virtual agency; (2) virtual agency derives from promises; (3) all anger and disappointment derive from broken promises; (4) promises are always in dynamic reciprocal sets called compromises; (5) compromises are heuristic devices underlying all social relationships; (6) all social phenomena involve compromises; (7) to explain is to describe relationships and (8) sociological explanation, therefore, derives from the description of compromises and their history. The above tenets begin to outline a powerful and coherent framework and their proper appreciation is bound to have a profound impact in Social Science. Avoiding convoluted syntheses of competing theories and emphasizing the social importance of the future as well as theoretical novelty and superior heuristic power, the author advocates for clear conceptual and theoretical grounds to enable a complete and integrated explanation of social phenomena. With this innovative approach, the paper invites scholars to engage critically with G-STOC and explore its potential to unify and enhance the study of the social world, offering new insights about its complexities.
Sustainable Development Goals in Local Level Budget and Programs: A Critical Analysis in the Context of Nepal
Authors: Sapkota Sandip
Published: February 2025

This study critically examines the integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into local-level budgets and programs in Nepal, focusing on the alignment of local governance structures with global sustainable development objectives. The study aims to assess the extent of SDG implementation at the grassroots level, identify key challenges, and explore opportunities for enhancing SDG localization in Nepal’s federal governance system. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines document analysis with case studies from various local governments. It evaluates the progress and effectiveness of SDG integration, particularly in the post-COVID period, analyzing the institutional learning from the first phase of federal governance (2017–2022) to the present phase. Findings reveal varying degrees of SDG integration across different local governments. Key challenges include limited awareness, inadequate financial resources, and weak institutional capacity, which hinder effective SDG implementation. However, opportunities exist in enhancing budgetary frameworks, capacity-building initiatives, and fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships to strengthen SDG localization. The study has significant policy implications, providing a framework for improving budget allocation, institutional strengthening, and participatory governance to advance sustainable development at the local level. The recommendations serve as a guide for policymakers, local government officials, and development practitioners to effectively incorporate SDGs into planning and budgeting processes, contributing to Nepal’s sustainable and inclusive growth.

Effect of the policy of free health care for children under five on child undernutrition and social inequalities in health care use in Senegal
Authors: Pouye Rokhy
Published: February 2025

Access to care and child health remain public health concerns in developing countries; in particular in Senegal despite the free child care initiative. Therefore, this article examines the effect of free care on child undernutrition and social inequalities in health care utilization.

The data used are from the Continuous Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS-C). The trivariate model and the inequality index decomposition method proposed by Wagstaff et al [2003] are used respectively to analyze the effect of the free health care policy on undernutrition and social inequalities in health care utilization. The results underline that the free health care policy improves the nutritional status of children. In addition, it increases social inequalities in the use of health care in favor of the rich and contributes to horizontal inequalities to the tune of 7.56 %.

It is therefore necessary to review and monitor this policy within the health structures in order to correct its regressive nature. Moreover, a combination of policies of access to care and fight against undernutrition is essential for a better result in terms of child health.
Del culto al cuerpo al discurso violento en redes sociales: Instagram y la propagación de una yihad blanda
Authors: Trujillo-Fernández Francisco , Gallardo-Camacho Jorge , Rubio-Jiménez Mariela
Published: February 2025

Introducción: La ideología yihadista encuentra en las redes sociales una plataforma de promoción ideal para potenciales procesos de reclutamiento, recurriendo en ocasiones a la práctica de la actividad física como una teórica vía de recuperación de la espiritualidad individual. Metodología: Se recurre a una metodología multimodal que gira en torno al análisis del discurso de las publicaciones de un perfil de Instagram dedicado a la venta de ropa islámica en unión del análisis simbólico, tanto cuantitativo como cualitativo de ciertos emojis que por su configuración permiten propagar la ideología. Resultados: Encontramos que un 1,63% de la muestra de 42 publicaciones arroja contenido de tipo yihadista, mientras que de esa muestra, al menos dos de los emojis, de evidente simbología yihadista, se habrían utilizado en más del 90% de los vídeos difundidos por el perfil. Discusión: Parecen existir elementos coincidentes con la estrategia del yihadista Al Awlaki antes de su muerte, que mostraba interés en esquivar lo explícito para reconsiderar sus publicaciones hacia la moderación y así evitar las políticas de restricción de contenidos. Conclusiones: Las redes sociales ofertan mecanismos visibles e invisibles para ocultar el verdadero significado de ciertos contenidos propagandísticos.

Politička institucionalizacija suvremenoga europskoga identiteta
Authors: Špehar Hrvoje
Published: February 2025

Autor istražuje političku institucionalizaciju suvremenoga europskoga identiteta polazeći od dvojbi o konstrukciji političkoga identiteta Europe, koji se u suvremenosti pojavljuje kao novi tip višestrukoga, pluralnoga i otvorenoga identiteta. Osobito istražuje koliku je ulogu u stvaranju pluralizma izvorā europskoga identiteta imalo kršćanstvo, osobito u ranim fazama političkoga augustinizma i njegove recepcije na zapadu, te koja je bila globalizirajuća snaga njegovih ideja za političku institucionalizaciju Europe. Doprinos kršćanstva ocjenjuje se trostrukim: kao antropocentričnost, političko-crkveni dualizam i kompleksna ideja laičnosti, s različitim implikacijama. Za razliku od pozicija suvremenoga socijalnoga konstruktivizma, suvremena politička institucionalizacija europskoga identiteta nastoji se opisati s neofunkcionalističkih polazišta, osobito ističući istraživački manje prisutnu pojavu identitetskoga neofunkcionalizma i njezinu povezanost s deontologijom integracije. Autor nastoji pokazati da su stara izvorišta europskoga identiteta, koja se, među ostalima, mogu pronaći i u kršćanstvu, i dalje politički relevantna te da sudjeluju u oblikovanju europske političke ideje.

The video camera was previously calibrated using ZHANG technique where parameters were obtained focal length and tilt focal pixel. In the algorithm histogram analysis and segmentation of the image were developed, allowing to determine exactly the relative position of the platform with respect to the obstacles and movement strategy to follow.
Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans, a Challenging Entity – Case Report and Brief Literature Review
Authors: Tinca A.C. , Lazar B.A. , Negovan E.S. , Cotoi O.S.
Published: February 2025

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, locally aggressive soft tissue tumour of mesenchymal origin, commonly arising in
the dermis and extending into deeper tissues. This article presents a case of a 52-year-old male with recurrent DFSP affecting the posterior neck region. Initial surgical excision in 2016 revealed a spindle-cell tumour with storiform patterns and a low mitotic index, while recurrence in 2022 exhibited a multinodular, infiltrative mass with increased cellular atypia and a high mitotic rate. Immunohistochemistry confirmed diffuse CD34 positivity in both instances. Complete surgical excision, including re-excision for margin involvement, achieved tumour-free status. The case highlights the importance of histological evaluation, surgical approach and follow-up in these cases. Long-term monitoring remains essential due to DFSP’s high recurrence potential.

Financial statements are made as a form of accountability for regional financial management to the general public and also the parties concerned. The preparation of these financial statements is a form of accountability, namely as reporting in realizing organizational goals. Good financial statements certainly meet the normative requirements of financial statement quality. The financial statements of the Local Government of Jepara Regency have received an unqualified opinion eleven times in a row. However, the opinion obtained still receives additional notes, in the sense that this fair opinion without exclusion is accompanied by a special explanatory note as material for improvement in the financial statements of the Regional Government in the future. This study was conducted to examine the influence of ihsan personality, work environment, and partial internal control on the quality of financial statements of the Local Government of Jepara Regency, Central Java.  The population in this study is 65 institutions in Government Organizations that perform accounting and finance functions on. The samples used are 22 Sections which include 17 Government institutions and 5 agencies. The method in this study uses quantitative methods with descriptive analysis techniques and multiple linear regression analysis as well as sampling with non-probability sampling techniques with purposive sampling. The results of this study explain that ihsan's personality has a positive effect on the quality of financial statements. Furthermore, the work environment does not have a positive effect on the quality of financial statements, and the last internal control is obtained to have a positive effect on the quality of financial statements at the Jepara Local Government Organization. This research contribution provides recommendations to local governments to improve transparency, accountability, and integrity in the preparation of financial statements. In addition, this study can also provide new insights for researchers and practitioners in the field of government accounting to pay more attention to aspects of individual personality in an effort to improve the quality of financial statements.

Authors: Şahin Ceylan Didem , Avşar Aksu Busemnaz , Saçlı Yeter , Gültekin Gökçe
Published: February 2025

The theory of multiple intelligences suggests that people have different learning abilities. According to this theory, individuals should be evaluated in a total of 8 intelligence areas: verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, musical-rhythmic, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal-social, personal-intrapersonal, naturalist-existentialist. The aim of our study is to determine and compare the dominant intelligence types of students in the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Faculty of Communication. The study included 100 students aged 22-27 who were admitted to the university with a numerical score type and who were 4th year students in the Audiology Department of the Faculty of Health Sciences, and 100 students aged 23-27 who were admitted to the university with a verbal score type and who were 4th year students in the Faculty of Communication. The logical-mathematical intelligence scores of the students in Audiology of the Faculty of Health Sciences were higher than those of the students of the Faculty of Communication (p<0,01). When evaluating each faculty within each faculty, the interpersonal intelligence of the students of the Faculty of Health Sciences is better than the verbal-linguistic intelligence, the logical-mathematical intelligence, the visual-spatial intelligence and the musical-rhythmical intelligence (p<0,05). Communication students' logical-mathematical intelligence was worse than all other types of intelligence (p<0,05). Their interpersonal intelligence was better than their visual-spatial, musical-rhythmic and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences (p<0,05). In this study, the Faculty of Communication was found to be the faculty with the least similarity to the Faculty of Audiology in terms of course content, according to the University's exemption standards, and the intelligence potential of the students was examined and the types of intelligence were compared. The significant results obtained in the comparisons suggest that these differences may be due to the theoretical and practical training given over 4 years and the emphasis placed on field placements in the final year.

Published: February 2025

Objective: To assess the effect of popping thermal treatment on the physical and structural properties of Toluqueño creole popcorn maize (Zea mays L.)
Design/methodology/approach: Toluqueño creole maize and commercial (Zea mays L.), as a control, were subjected to three popping treatments: hot oil, hot air and microwave. Moisture, popping yield, textural properties (hardness, gumminess, chewing), and structural features (size: area, perimeter) by image analysis were determined.
Results: The results showed that the treatment by hot air in commercial maize presented the best pop yield, reaching a value of 71.88%, while the microwave treatment was the best for Toluqueño maize, with 12.93% of expansion yield, because its low moisture content (8.42 ± 0.29%). The best textural characteristics for both types of maize were obtained after applying the hot air treatment, resulting in soft, low rubbing and good chewing for all samples. The microstructural analysis in Toluqueño maize treated by microwave evidenced the presence of spherical starch granules, which was attributed to a low gelatinization degree. Also was possible to observe highest intergranular space, which was related to a less compactation grade and consequently less hardness in the raw grain (without expansion).
Limitations on study/implications: High resolution and improved methodologies to observe the starch grain and components distribution could be result in a better description of the effect of thermal treatment in the maize grains.
Findings/conclusions: The treatment by hot air was the best process to obtain popcorn for all samples, being the commercial maize who presented the best physical and structural features.

ABSTRACT
 
Objective: Develop an edible coating with cinnamon essential oil (CEO) to prolong the useful life of strawberries.
Design/methodology/approach: Obtaining CEO by the distillation method with water and steam, determining the minimum inhibitory concentration through an in vitro test using the agar diffusion technique, and determining antifungal activity in vivo.
Results: The CEO was obtained by the distillation method with water and steam, showing yields of 1.2±0.3% per extraction cycle. In turn, the in vitro test on the minimum inhibitory concentration that the CEO presented against the fungus Rizhopus stolonifer using the agar dilution technique showed that its growth was completely inhibited at a concentration of 500 ppm. However, the antifungal activity in vivo is less effective due to the complex host/antifungal/pathogen system added to the temperature factor. The study at room temperature (27°C) showed growth of the fungus Rizhopus stolonifer on the strawberries with the coating at 100 and 300 ppm concentrations on day 3 of treatment. On the contrary, at refrigeration temperature (8°C), the strawberries coated with the different concentrations of CEO remained in good condition for a longer time, reflecting in their visual appearance without loss of color, the appearance of freshness, in addition to having a visually attractive shine.
Findings/conclusions: Synergy of temperature and CEO concentrations to slow the growth of Rizhopus stolonifer and prolong the life time of the fruit, maintaining its visual appearance without loss of color, the appearance of freshness and visually attractive shine.

Published: February 2025

Objective: To compare the efficacy of different sanitizing agents in extending the sensory shelf life and maintaining the quality of chia (Salvia hispanica) microgreens in terms of overall quality, color, rot development and off-flavor.
Design/methodology/approach: Different parametric models (gamma, exponential, Weibull and log-logistic) were evaluated to determine the most appropriate one to analyze the sensory shelf life of treatments with sanitizing agents. The functions proposed by Guillermo Hough were used to calculate the sensory shelf life for each treatment. Finally, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the effects of the different sanitizing agents.
Results: Survival rates of microgreens varied according to the sanitizing agent used. On day two, sodium hypochlorite showed a survival rate of 80 %, which decreased with time. On the other hand, colloidal silver reached a survival rate of 90 % on day two, while calcium oxide saturated solution showed a survival rate of 85 % in the same period. The control revealed a rate of 65 % by day two, a lower percentage than the previous ones.
Limitations on study/implications: In this study, three sanitizers (colloidal silver, sodium hypochlorite and saturated solution of calcium oxide nanoparticles) were evaluated and other possible treatments or combinations of treatments that could be effective in preserving the quality and sensory shelf life of chia microgreens were not considered.
Findings/conclusions: The study revealed that colloidal silver treatment was the most effective in extending the sensory shelf-life of microgreens, with an estimated shelf life of 1.78 days at 10 % rejection, followed by chlorine and saturated calcium oxide solution.
Asphalt Pavement Distress Detection by Transfer Learning with Multi-head Attention Technique
Authors: Bahaaulddin A. Alwahhab Ahmed , Sabeeh Vian , Abdulmunim Ibrahim Al-kharaz Ali
Published: February 2025

Roads and highways represent a crucial lifeline between communities in all countries. They have to be healthy enough for safe and effective transportation. The traditional ways of inspecting roads by human inspectors consume time, and the inspection results may be subjective. For this reason, researchers are motivated to automate pavement distress detection to help the road monitoring and maintenance process. Additionally, many researchers have tried to present models to detect distress on road infrastructure. However, these models face accuracy challenges and overfitting because of the nature and complications of distress images. This paper proposes a model that combines pre-trained VGG16 with a multi-head attention layer. The proposed paradigm began with smoothing as a pre-processing step to eliminate the granular effect of the asphalt gravel and make asphalt damage more distinct. Then, data augmentation was conducted to improve model generalization by adding various distress scenes to the dataset in geometric, color, and intensity cases. This work also contributes to the broader body of research by collecting a local dataset that contains three types of asphalt distress (cracks, potholes, and ruts). The proposed model was tested using three benchmarked datasets in addition to the locally collected one, and it showed efficiency in detecting asphalt distress using offline and real-time images. The model achieved an accuracy 1.00 in the Pavmentscapes dataset, outperforming the UNET model, and a fully connected network was trialed with the same dataset. With the Deep Crack dataset, our model scored an accuracy of 1.00. In contrast, ResNet achieved an accuracy of 0.72 on the same dataset. The NHA12D dataset was also used to test the proposed model and achieved an accuracy of 1.00, but the VGG16 without an attention layer used on that dataset scored only 0.64. All previous obvious tests prove that the proposed VGG16 and multi-head attention paradigm outperform the earlier models. Additionally, the proposed model has undergone a real-time test on local roads. The future directions are to try to make the self-attention mechanism more explainable and implement an attention layer for multi-scales.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on the tourism sector, resulting in the closure of tourist attractions, such as the Surabaya Zoo tourist attraction. The impact of Covid-19 then gave birth to an innovation in virtual educational tour packages formed by the Surabaya Zoo team as an alternative for tourists to carry out tourism activities during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The method used in the study was a descriptive qualitative approach method, with data collection techniques using primary data sources from interviews and observations, as well as secondary data sources from references, articles, journals, and websites.
The Surabaya Zoo virtual educational tour package is one of the educational tour packages formed by the Surabaya Zoo during the Covid-19 pandemic. This package is intended for tourists who want to get to know animal life online, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Surabaya Virtual Zoo educational tour package has 4 route options, of which 4 routes have differences, namely, the route passed, the animals explained, and the discussion spots. Virtual zoo educational tour activities are carried out through the online zoom meeting application with a duration of 90 minutes. Promotion of virtual zoo educational tour packages is done directly such as distributing brochures and contacting agencies, the second way is indirectly such as uploading on every social media.

Підготовка сержантського складу в умовах сучасної війни: виклики та перспективи
Authors: Кузьменко Р.
Published: February 2025

Сучасна війна в Україні поставила перед Збройними Силами України безпрецедентні виклики. Швидкі темпи змін на полі бою, застосування нових видів озброєння та гібридні методи ведення війни вимагають від українських військових високого рівня професіоналізму та адаптивності. Особливо гостро стоїть питання підготовки сержантського складу, який є хребтом будь-якої армії.
Сержант – це не просто виконавець наказів, а й лідер, який здатний приймати самостійні рішення в складних бойових ситуаціях, мотивувати особовий склад та забезпечувати виконання завдань. Однак, існуюча система підготовки сержантів в Україні зіштовхнулася з низкою проблем: дефіцит досвідчених інструкторів, недостатнє фінансування, швидкі темпи змін,  недостатня увага до психологічної підготовки.
Для вирішення цих проблем необхідно вжити комплекс заходів, зокрема, це швидке перенавчання та підвищення кваліфікації, тобто розробка інтенсивних програм перенавчання для сержантів з урахуванням сучасних викликів. Наступним елементом є залучення ветеранів. Активне залучення досвідчених ветеранів бойових дій для передачі своїх знань і навичок молодому поколінню. Ще одним важливим елементом є модернізація навчальної бази. Оснащення навчальних закладів сучасними тренажерами, симуляторами та іншими засобами навчання. Не менш важливим елементом є розширення міжнародного співробітництва, зокрема залучення досвіду країн-партнерів, участь у спільних навчаннях та обмін найкращими практиками.
Перспективи подальших досліджень полягають у аналізі ефективності нових методів навчання, дослідженні впливу психологічних факторів на ефективність підготовки, розвитку системи оцінювання знань та навичок, вивчення досвіду інших країн.
Загалом, можна констатувати, що система підготовки сержантів в Україні знаходиться в стадії активного розвитку. Однак, для досягнення максимальної ефективності необхідно продовжувати вдосконалювати існуючі механізми та розробляти нові підходи.
Принципи формування тактико-технічних вимог до безпілотних авіаційних комплексів і методичний підхід до вибору найкращого варіанту

У статті досліджено актуальні питання, пов’язані з формуванням тактико-технічних вимог до безпілотних авіаційних комплексів.
Мета статті – обґрунтування принципів формування тактико-технічних вимог до безпілотних авіаційних комплексів і рекомендувати методичний підхід до вибору найкращого варіанту.
За цим напрямом дослідження систематизовано склад показників для вибору безпілотного авіаційного комплексу з числа декількох: тривалість польотів, корисне навантаження, вага та розміри, надійність, мобільність, спосіб запуску та приземлення, вартість, ремонтопридатність, програмне забезпечення, технологічна та ергономічна зручність, умови експлуатації, безпека експлуатанта.
На підставі показників і з урахуванням функціональних завдань обґрунтовано принципи формування тактико-технічних вимог до безпілотних авіаційних комплексів: принцип цілеспрямованості, принцип надійності, принцип ефективності, принцип інтегрованості, принцип системності, принцип декомпозиції, принцип достатності, принцип стандартизації та уніфікації.
Проаналізовано методичні підходи, що можуть бути використані для вибору безпілотного авіаційного комплексу з числа декількох варіантів. Запропоновано використання методу аналізу ієрархій, що дає змогу об’єктивно оцінювати безпілотний авіаційний комплекс із низки представлених варіантів, а також об’єктивізувати вибір безпілотного авіаційного комплексу з числа декількох, уникаючи при цьому спроб штучного завищення показників для одного з варіантів, що оцінюються.
У якості актуальних напрямків подальших досліджень запропоновано:
обґрунтування критеріальних значень показників для проведення вибору безпілотного авіаційного комплексу з числа декількох;
розробка методичного апарату для обґрунтування оперативно-тактичних вимог до безпілотних авіаційних комплексів (безпілотних літальних апаратів).

Стаття допомагає зрозуміти: функції, вплив та зміни в розвідці з моменту повномасштабного російського вторгнення, починаючи з лютого 2022 року. Наголошується на можливостях розвідувального співтовариства США, якому вдалося добути розвідувальну інформацію не тільки щодо самого факту підготовки держави-терориста РФ до повномасштабного вторгнення, а і визначити ймовірну дату його початку. Розсекречування матеріалів та швидке їх поширення забезпечило необхідною інформацією світове співтовариство щодо можливого російського вторгнення. Факт оприлюднення такої інформації на прес-конференції військово-політичним керівництвом США був безпрецедентним в історії людства – адже, зазвичай, така інформація не розповсюджується з метою збереження у безпеці джерела її надходження. Це підкреслило намагання США стримати державу-агресора – РФ від можливого вторгнення. Крім того, цей факт допоміг об’єднати країни-партнери навколо ідеї надання Україні потрібної допомоги та покарання РФ за початок повномасштабного вторгнення в Україну та брутальне порушення всіх можливих міжнародних законів, норм та договорів.
Наголошується на потребі вивчення та врахування інновацій та змін у розвідці, що відбулися протягом першого року повномасштабної російсько-української війни. Використання комерційних супутників дало змогу закордонним репортерам та засобам масової інформації підтвердити факти звірств, катувань та масових вбивств цивільного населення та дітей, які здійснювали російські військові у Бучі та інших містах та селах на тимчасово окупованих державою-терористом українських територіях. Соціальні мережі та засоби масової інформації також відіграли важливу роль у поширенні цієї інформації по всьому світу та інформуванні світового співтовариства про те, що відбувається та факти масових військових злочинів росіян. Крім того, поширення цієї інформації через ЗМІ та соціальні мережі допомогло світовому співтовариству та міжнародним організаціям протидіяти російським інформаційно-психологічним операціям.
