Published: February 2025

The article examines the administrative and legal foundations of the participation of the State Bureau
of Investigation (SBI) in Ukraine’s informational relations, with a focus on contemporary challenges and
development prospects for this institution. The author analyzes the role of the SBI in ensuring national
security through information management and the protection of confidential data amid dynamic changes
in the informational space. Special attention is paid to issues of information protection in the face of
modern cyber threats and the absence of unified standards for data storage and processing, which present
significant challenges for law enforcement activities. The article also highlights legal and organizational
aspects of working with information, particularly mechanisms for storing, processing, and using confidential
data. The author emphasizes the importance of implementing international information security standards
and integrating them into the national legal framework, considering contemporary challenges, especially
under martial law conditions. Given the rapid development of information technologies and the constant
evolution of cyber threats, the need for regular updates to the legal mechanisms governing the interaction
of the SBI with other state bodies and international partners becomes evident. This process involves
creating an integrated cybersecurity system that ensures a high level of security for information systems at
all stages of data processing, from collection and storage to usage. The need to improve these mechanisms
stems not only from global challenges, such as the increasing number of cyberattacks, but also from

The paper discusses the results of computer simulations of the hydrodynamics involved in the movement of a thermal agent through a stationary layer of dried coffee production waste. Before the simulation, the parameters of the porous zone were established, including the porosity of the material layer under study (=0.4 m3/m3) and the values of the viscous resistance coefficient (1/) as well as the inertial resistance coefficient (C2). The ANSYS Fluent 2022 R2 software package was used for computer modeling, with the k- SST model of turbulence. The research involved analyzing the height range of the dried coffee production waste layer, specifically within the range of H=80 to 120 mm with a 10 mm increment, and H=90 to 110 mm with a 5 mm increment, as well as different flow rates of the thermal agent in the range of w0=0.791.75 m/s. The average relative errors of modeling the hydraulic resistance of the material layer under study in comparison with experimental values are as follows: 8.92% for the height range of H=80 to 120 mm with a 10 mm increment, and 4.28% for the range of H=90 to 110 mm with a 5 mm increment.

Introduction: Addiction to morphine induces apoptosis in different cell types. Apoptosis is an organized and programmed process that plays a vital role in monitoring a variety of non-pathological cellular events. For this purpose, this study investigated the effect of 8 weeks of endurance training on bax and bcl2 in the cardiac tissue of rats suffering from morphine withdrawal syndrome.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 32 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups including control, withdrawal syndrome, withdrawal syndrome with endurance training and endurance training. Two groups of morphine withdrawal syndrome were addicted to 0.4 mg/mL morphine sulfate for 21 days. To ensure morphine dependence, a number of animals were injected with naloxone (2mg/kg, ip). Training groups participated in an increasing treadmill running program for 8 weeks (3 sessions per week). 24 hours after the last training session, heart tissue was sampled. The levels of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins in the left ventricular tissues of rats were measured by ELISA method. Data analysis was performed with one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test with a significance level of p<0.05.
Result: We found that morphine leads to an increase in Bax protein (proapoptotic) (P=0.003) and a decrease in Bcl-2 protein (antiapoptotic) (P=0.001) in heart tissue. On the other hand, performing 8 weeks of endurance training leads to a significant change in the level of Bax (P=0.001) and Bcl-2 (P=0.001) proteins in the heart tissue following morphine withdrawal syndrome.
Conclusion: This study shows that endurance training can be considered as a non-pharmacological way to reduce the complications of cardiac cell apoptosis in people with morphine withdrawal syndrome.

Authors: Brenda Jemutai Kiptui  , Eunice Akello Mewa  , Jackson Kibet Kitilit
Published: February 2025

Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) is a forage of arid and semi-arid rangeland. It is a high protein forage that is drought tolerant and resistant to pests and diseases. Leucaena provided palatable, digestible and nutritious forage for ruminants thus helps to improve milk yield. Wheat bran is an excellent feed for goats due to its high palatability and laxative properties. The problem encountered was low milk production among dairy goat farms at the study area. Goat milk production has the potential to increase food security. An experiment was designed to study the effect of supplementing dried leucaena and wheat bran mixture on milk yield and the cost of its production in dairy goats at Mogotio Sub-County, Baringo County. This experiment was carried out on one farm where supplementations were carried out twice a day and milking done once daily. The study used Latin square design with five treatments of increasing levels of supplementation at control, 5, 10, 15, and 20% of the diet. The experiment was run for 35 days using 5 lactating dairy goats of body weights ranging between 35 and 53kg. The parameters observed included milk yield and cost of the feeds. The data was analysed using analysis of variance and significant means were separated using tukey’s test. Results showed that dairy goats on supplementation produced more milk compared to the control. Supplementation treatment four had the highest milk production (476ml). Cost of dried leucaena leaves mixed with wheat bran was lower than commercial concentrates. In conclusion, linear increase in milk yield on all the treatments containing increasing levels of supplementation of dried leucaena leaves mixed with wheat bran at a fairly low cost was observed. The farmers should plant more leucaena and be trained to formulate treatment three diet for high milk production from lactating dairy goats.
Asymmetry in Israeli academia
Authors: Abu-Gweder Aref
Published: February 2025

This study explores the attitudes of Bedouin female students towards their Jewish peers in multicultural courses at teaching colleges in Israel. Based on a sample of 30 participants, findings reveal mixed emotions. While Bedouin students value cultural diversity and opportunities for cross-cultural engagement, they face challenges stemming from the broader social dynamics in the country. Multicultural groups aim to foster dialogue and shared perspectives, but Jewish students often maintain a dominant position, avoiding deeper engagement with intergroup relations. In contrast, Bedouin students emphasize their minority identity, which is shaped by religious, social, and cultural factors, framing themselves in relation to their socio-national background. Despite these challenges, both groups collaborate and support one another in achieving academic success, demonstrating the potential of multicultural settings to promote cooperation amidst diversity.

Published: February 2025

This study focuses on the utilization of clustering models to group manuscript images from the OKU Timur region based on specific characteristics. OKU Timur is rich in cultural heritage, including a unique writing system known as the OKU Timur script. The development of intelligent systems technology can be employed to recognize the OKU Timur script. For this purpose, a dataset of OKU Timur script is needed, which will later be used for classifying script images. One of the challenges in preparing the dataset is grouping a large number of script image samples according to the number of characters. A proposed solution in this research is to automatically group script images by applying the K-Means algorithm.  The dataset comprises 2,280 images, representing 19 characters and 228 variations with different diacritics. Features are extracted using the VGG16 model, which are then clustered with the K-Means algorithm. Clustering performance is evaluated based on the percentage of correctly grouped characters. For 19 groups (character count), the model achieves an accuracy of 82.6%. For 228 groups (variations and diacritics), it correctly groups 48.16% of characters. Despite the challenges, the results demonstrate the model’s potential for further refinement. This study’s contribution lies in introducing an efficient clustering approach for cultural manuscripts, supporting digital preservation, and advancing automatic recognition of the OKU Timur script. These efforts aim to preserve the script for future generations.

Backend constitutes a critical component of digital infrastructure, responsible for processing business logic, managing data, and facilitating communication between software systems. APIs serve as the interface that enables software interaction and plays a pivotal role in backend operations. This study investigates the performance of three API architectures: RESTful, GraphQL, and gRPC. The experimental approach involves the implementation of Load Testing and Stress Testing to assess the performance of these architectures. The experiment utilizes a dedicated server and client hardware to simulate real-world conditions, with parameters such as CPU usage, memory usage, response time, load time, latency, success rate, and failure rate evaluated using a dataset comprising 1,000 rows of student-related records. Result show that RESTful achieves the highest total request but exhibit greater resource consumption and a higher failure rate. GraphQL demonstrated better CPU and memory efficiency with strong stability, though it has higher latency and slower response times. gRPC strikes a balance with a moderate latency and resource usage, albeit with slightly higher memory consumption under stress. By presenting a comprehensive analysis of each API architecture, this study contributes a comprehensive performance analysis under practical testing scenarios giving developers and system architect with data-driven guidance for selecting API architecture to their application needs. RESTful is well suited for high-throughput scenarios with less critical operations, GraphQL excels in resource efficiency and stability, and gRPC offers balanced performance across diverse workloads.

Using methods of physicochemical analysis: differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), microstructural analysis (MSA), as well as determination of microhardness and density, the As2Te3-TlS system was studied and a T-x phase diagram was constructed. The phase diagram of the As2Te3-TlS system belongs to the partially quasi-binary eutectic type and is characterized by the formation of a new quaternary compound TlAs2STe3 and Tl3As2S3Te3. The compounds TlAs2STe3 and Tl3As2S3Te3 melt congruently at 270°C and 240°C, respectively. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the compound TlAs2STe3 crystallizes in a tetragonal syngony with lattice parameters: a=10.70; с=9.28 Å, z=4, density ρpucn/=7.10 g/cm3, ρX-ray= 7.12 g/cm3. Tl3As2S3Te3 crystallizes in a hexagonal syngony with lattice parameters: a = 11.54; с=9.58 Å, z=4, density ρpucn/=7.28 g/cm3, ρX-ray= 7.37 g/cm3. In the As2Te3-TlS system, solid solutions based on the As2Te3 compound reach -3.5 mol % TlS, and solid solutions based on TlS are practically not established. In the system, the compounds As2Te3 and TlAs2STe3 form a eutectic with a composition of 35 mol % TlS at melting point 180°C. Another eutectic is formed between TlAs2STe3 and Tl3As2S3Te3, composition 67 mol % TlS, temperature 165°C. Under normal conditions, the compounds TlAs2STe3 and Tl3As2S3Te3 are obtained in a glassy state and participate in the system as glass formers. Thus, in the As2Te3-TlS system upon slow cooling, the glass transition region extends to the region of 45-85 mol % TlS. In the quenching mode in liquid nitrogen, it was possible to obtain glassy alloys from 85 to 100 mol % TlS

The consumption of stabilisers and additives applied in a simple powder form has fallen drastically over the the last 10 years. This change is not remarkable given the many problems associated with powders, ranging from health & safety to transport, storage and feeding issues in polymer processing equipment. The reasons for the expanded growth for NO Dust Blends (NDBs) will be explored by giving a brief overview of the scientific, technical and commercial processing benefits associated with the use of NDB’s using the original data analysis and procedures that were designed in the first developments. Many of the benefits vary some difficult to quantify but overall, they will be explored here. The additive combinations chosen here focuses on phenolic antioxidants, a metal deactivator and a phosphite composition to optimise and improve additive effectiveness using an additive incorporation via NDB’s on the example of a wire & cable and a pipe application. It was found that eutectic alloy effects via DSC analysis of selected additive mixtures and pre-dispersion of additives can lead to improved stabilisation efficacy as well as practical processing benefits as measured by long term heat ageing (LTHA). The use of No Dust Blend NDB instead of powders or even granules can easily lead to significant productivity benefits and less clean-up operations for the technologist and engineers. It is the aim of this paper to present a brief overview of the NDB technology that has been developed and highlight selected scientific, technical and practical benefits which are ultimately driving their growth providing a useful insight for the polymer processor and engineer to develop their own specific needs especially high tonnage applications

Published: February 2025

Population demands are leading to an increase in the dumping of wastewater from domestic and industrial activities worldwide. Electrochemical oxidation (EO) has received a lot of attention in wastewater treatment as one of the treatment technologies. The purpose of this paper is to provide readers with valuable information about EO definitions, mechanisms, operational conditions, and statistical analysis based on recent articles. According to the review, EO is more effective in removing organic contaminants than other methods. This depends on whether additional chemicals are used and the type of anode materials. The material of the anode, contact time, pH, and current density are the most crucial parameters of EO technology. The paper demonstrates that selecting the appropriate anode electrode was a significant challenge in treating wastewater through electro-oxidation. According to the cited papers, EO has been used by more than 85% of them alone, while the remaining 10% have utilized it in combination with other conventional and development methods for wastewater treatment. Compared to other materials, titanium was the most commonly used material for anode manufacturing in EO technology. Electrochemical oxidation technology is a reliable method to eliminate a diverse range of pollutants from various wastewater types

FORMATION OF A SYSTEM OF INDICATORS FOR RISK ASSESSMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES
Authors:   Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics, Shorokh Valeria
Published: February 2025

The change in the non-banking financial services market regulator in 2020 has initiated new legislative initiatives related to the risk assessment of the activities of non-banking financial services market participants, including financial companies. Existing approaches to assessing the risk of these financial institutions are limited by a small number of indicators that do not take into account the peculiarities of the exclusivity of the financial services they provide. Indicators of the financial condition of a financial company are an integral part of assessing the risk of their activities, which is the basis of all methods on the domestic and European markets of non-banking financial services. In order to eliminate the drawback of the limited list of indicators for assessing the risk of a financial company and taking into account the scoring approach, the author put forward a hypothesis regarding the feasibility of expanding the composition of indicators used to achieve the stated goal of the study. The purpose of the article is to develop and improve the theoretical and methodological support for assessing the risk of financial companies operating in the non-banking financial services market. The article forms a system of indicators for assessing the risk of financial companies based on the results of a factor analysis of indicators for assessing liquidity risk, operational risk, credit risk and market risk. Based on the results of the study, a list of indicators consisting of 14 coefficients was formed, which characterize the factors of the formation of a particular risk comprehensively while optimizing the time spent on carrying out assessment procedures. The proposed system of indicators is suitable for integrated assessment, and therefore creates a basis for improving the methodological approach to assessing the risk of financial companies. The selected indicators take into account the industry specifics of their activities, do not have a high functional dependence on each other and allow for a comprehensive description of the factors of formation of a particular risk while optimizing the time spent on carrying out assessment procedures.

The works of leading scientists in this field are analyzed; their views on accounting concepts are generalized. The author proves that the separation of the discipline of accounting and control for foreign economic activity is based on the existence of a separate accounting and control concept. It is formed due to a number of factors, such as accounting reconciliation of indicators for different jurisdictions; the need for a separate methodology for accounting for exchange rate differences; special approaches to accounting for goods and capital in transit and the distribution of transport costs taking into account Incoterms; border crossing registration, etc. The modern concept of accounting and control for foreign economic activity is based on the principles defined in the legislation, which indicates its normative nature and is the basis for the development of accounting standards. Accounting and control tasks arise from the principles of accounting and the features of foreign economic activity. That forms accounting objects: goods, services, investments, settlements, exchange rate differences, income and expenses. The evolution of the concept of accounting and control for foreign economic activity occurs under the influence of such three factors as historical changes in economic models and methods of management, transformation of institutional regulators of accounting and control, transformation of the management paradigm. This factors form trends in the development of the concept of accounting and controlling for foreign economic activity, which the author reveals in the article. Research on accounting concepts of foreign economic activity and their evolution is developing further, focusing on changes in the global economic space and digital technologies. New research may focus on identifying better approaches and methods that will contribute to increasing the efficiency of accounting for foreign economic activity.

У статті досліджено вплив інноваційних підприємницьких ініціатив на організаційно-економічне забезпечення інвестицій у територіальних громадах України. Акцентовано увагу на зростанні ролі інновацій як важливого чинника розвитку місцевої економіки, зокрема через формування сприятливого інвестиційного клімату. Визначено ключові проблеми, що стримують реалізацію інноваційного потенціалу громад, серед яких недостатня інтеграція інноваційних механізмів у стратегічне управління, фрагментарність заходів підтримки бізнесу, низький рівень координації між стейкхолдерами та обмеженість доступу до фінансування. Запропоновано концептуальну модель «інноваційної екосистеми». Обґрунтовано значення цифрових технологій для забезпечення прозорості та ефективності управління інвестиціями. Сформовано циклічну модель інноваційного розвитку. Доведено, що впровадження інноваційних підприємницьких ініціатив значно підвищує конкурентоспроможність громади та забезпечує залучення довгострокових інвестицій.
